Casual Summer Christmas Outfits | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two fun festively themed outfits for summer Christmas events earlier on in December. One very festive one, and the second one a bit more subtle. The second one is a little weekend outfit sneaking into the link up too!


What I wore:

summer festive outfit merry Christmas tee ribbon bracelet navy crossbody bag sneakers | awayfromblue blog

red maxi skirt with Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight | awayfromtheblue



Earrings: Colette Ciao Bella glitter ball drop earrings
Necklace: layered Tai gold alphabet necklaces
Tee: Merry Christmas deer antler tee
Skirtthrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Christmas ribbon bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! After an event earlier in the day I got changed later that afternoon into this Christmas-y outfit for our annual trip to Movie World's White Christmas event. They decorate the theme park for Christmas, play Christmas carols and they even have fake snow falling. It's magical and I really missed it last year. While we had no restrictions on at the time or Covid cases, with everything that happened in 2020 I figured we'd skip the crowds that year. I definitely missed it though and was so glad we went this year!

When my mum gave me this tee she made as an early Christmas present I knew that the red maxi skirt would be perfect for it. Added the delicate gold necklaces and the fun gold bauble earrings and it was perfectly themed for the evening! We had the usual backpack with all our water bottles so I picked this little Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag to wear as it fit all my essentials and my camera in it, although I didn't take too many pics in the end. The comfortable Adidas superstar sneakers were appreciated as we did a lot of walking around. 

The kids managed to fit in quite a lot of rides before a storm blew in and the rides were closed for the rest of the night safety reasons. It worked out well though. We were able to watch the Polar Express movie the kids love so much in 4D and then grab some dinner before sitting undercover and watching the big parade at the end of the night, all great timing! Such a fun night.





What I wore:

Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress with rebecca minkoff love too bag | awayfromblue

floral maxi dress and Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather | awayfromtheblue



Earrings: gold pendant chandelier earrings
Dress: Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
Belt: came with dress
ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

This is a much more subtle Christmas outfit! I've worn this dress for Christmas day before, with the teal and red it's very festively themed, but it's a dress I've worn at other times of year too. It's hard to see in the first pic with my hair in the way but I decided to keep it really simple and just add a pair of gold earrings and no necklace. I thought the rose gold sandals were a nice pairing with the gold earrings too!

Although the deep teal of the Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag is a very different shade from the teal of the maxi dress, they are a nice pairing together. I really like wearing this bag with green and blue and I've been wearing it a lot recently! The black hardware means it goes with everything.

I also carried a little tote bag with me for the kids water bottles and some books to entertain them for church in the morning. There was a Christmas party after church in the evening too, although I was a little worried about the weather and possible storms. I even belted the dress to create a blouson effect with the top and make sure the hem stayed off the ground. Thankfully it was a rain free afternoon, although the winds picked up a bit later the storms held off until the kids were home in bed. This outfit is just perfect for both church in the morning and then a Christmas party in the evening!


Last worn: gold earrings, teal floral maxi dress, gold sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearteal floral maxi dress, gold sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.



How You Can Wear It:

Christmas is a fun time to break out the red and green! A red maxi skirt and a Christmas tee is a great way to look suitably festive for summer, but you can go more subtle too by throwing on a dress that works for any time of year that has both green and red in the print.

    1. Yes it's perfect at Christmas time but not too festive for other times of year! :)

  6. Even though it is technically going to be winter this week, our weather feels much more like summer. What you're wearing is definitely what we need to be wearing - it is so hot!
    Hope you have a great week!

  11. It's pretty strange to me to see summery outfits during Christmas holidays, here is all about snow, fireplaces and sweaters! ^^
    Both looks are very nice, anyway!
    And, even if it may look less festive, my fav is the 2nd: that's a very beautiful dress!

  12. I can't tell you how I envy you being able to wear summer outfits at Christmas. The one time we were in Argentina for New Years, it was like that, and I loved it.

  14. Two perfect outfits for early Christmas celebrations. Funnily enough, the second one is the most festive in my eyes! That dress is gorgeous and those bright tropical colours really suit you. I'm loving the first outfit too, that Christmas themed tee works a treat with that lovely maxi skirt. The earrings are so cute! xxx

  15. Both outfits are lovely, but since turquoise / teal is one of my favorite colors, I am crazy about the floral maxi. Your purse is perfect with it.

  16. Super cute outfits and that sounds like a really fun day at the Christmas event! It's fun to imagine Christmas in the summertime, so different than where I am. Also, for some reason, I haven't been able to join your linkup properly. It won't let me use photos from my website! Just thought I would let you know in case anyone else has had a similar issue.

  20. These are both wonderful and beautiful outfits, Mica! So very seasonal, but not "hit you over the head" season, you know? :) The first one is awesome for a mom-on-the-go such as you. Glad you got to visit the Winter Wonderland and enjoy the fake snow! How fun! I have never seen "The Polar Express" (the characters look too uncanny-valley-ish to me).

    LOVE the second outfit - the bloused effect from belting it is so awesome. Great bag choice - the colour is just right.

    In case I don't see you - a very Merry Christmas to you and your family, my dear Mica. *big hug*

  21. I'd love to be able to wear such pretty dresses this time of year, but it's so cold and rainy even here in California! Happy holidays to you & your family!

  25. Movie World sounds like a fun place to visit, especially to get to watch a movie while there! Love your festive outfit. Both of these are exactly what we would wear here in Florida for Christmas because it's warm still in December.

    Have a great week! Merry Christmas :)

  26. Hello Mica
    For me Christmas is synonymous with very cold weather and warm coats, it's strange for me to look at your looks as being Christmas looks, but you look beautiful in both!
    I wish you a happy holiday and a Merry Christmas!

  31. You look great as always in these two outfits:) You really can't go wrong with that maxi skirt, and the teal dress with that teal bag looks so lovely even though they're not the exact same shade. That's great you were able to go to the White Christmas event as well. Sounded awesome!
    Anyhoo, wanna wish you and the whole family and wonderful Christmas and New year!

  32. I love both of these outfits! I am really impressed your mom made that tee! It's adorable! That teal bag is lovely and goes quite well with your dress.

    I hope you have an absolutely fabulous Christmas...it's always so much more fun with little people rather than the large ones I've got!

    Thanks for the link up!
