Spring Florals, Kimonos, Black Denim and Magenta Edie Crossbody Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sticking with staple spring outfit formulas for two outfits I wore at the end of September. Florals (groundbreaking!), kimonos, and black denim with Converse and my little Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag for an extra pop of colour.

What I wore:

Jacket: Shein lace trimmed crochet inset white kimono c/o
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Cami: H&M blue floral crinkle knot front button down cami
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! It was quite a hot day for spring (36 Celsius) so I was pleased I'd taken the opportunity to book the kids in for a play at an airconditioned indoor play place after my little one's sports in the morning. Despite it being a public holiday and the last day of the school holidays it wasn't too crowded either. Thankfully when we had more sports for the boys in the evening, without the AC, it had cooled off a lot!

The white crochet trim kimono was a nice light layer when we were outdoors and kept the chill off my shoulders from the aircon indoors too. I wore this kimono with this cami previously as well, it's a great combination. Managed with some help from my sister to figure out how to knot the front of the cami too, much prefer this over the poor attempt I made last time I wore this top, ha!

With the pretty blue floral print on the cami the blue Converse were a nice matchy-matchy option, and of course black denim shorts go with everything. The Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag in magenta was a fun pop of colour too.


Last worn: crochet trim kimono, silver necklace, floral knot front tank, black Bermuda denim shorts, blue Converse, magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

Other ways to wear: crochet trim kimono and maxi dress, floral knot front tank and jeans, black Bermuda denim shorts with olive, blue converse and striped dress, magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag worn 30 ways.

Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag Worn 30 Ways

---

What I wore:

Jacket:  Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

This was not such a fun day. With the rain that morning jeans were called for, and these black Nobody Denim skinny jeans worked well with the darker floral print on the kimono. The Converse were good for all the running around that morning too, and I think the magenta Edie bag was nice with the print. Even though it doesn't match the colours exactly, it goes well.

I'd booked the kids in for a school holiday event and we had some errands to run in the morning as well as books for us to take back to the library. It ended up being a little stressful trying to complete everything in time though and trying to make it a good day for the kids while my mind was on other things. I do try keep this blog fashion focused and frivolous (and so few people read what I write anyway) but while I tried to make it as normal a day as possible for the kids I was always conscious of getting home in time for lunch and giving myself enough time to change for a funeral that afternoon.

Thankfully I got home in time to eat and get changed before the funeral. By then the sun had came out and I had changed from this outfit and was just in a simple little black dress and a grey blazer, with a more subdued grey bag. I decided not to take any photos of that outfit.

Last worn: black floral kimono, clover necklace, metallic silver tank, black Nobody denim jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black floral kimono and shorts, metallic silver tank and pencil skirt, black Nobody denim jeans and blazer, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Black denim goes with everything - you can pair it with lighter florals like the first outfit, or darker florals like I have in the second outfit. It's the perfect neutral for any print.
