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:

Earrings: Colette Ciao Bella glitter ball drop earrings
Necklace: layered Tai gold alphabet necklaces
Tee: Merry Christmas deer antler tee
Skirt: thrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Christmas ribbon bracelet
Bag: Rebecca 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.

Last worn: gold bauble earrings, gold initial necklaces, ribbon bracelet, red printed maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. First time I've worn the tee as my mum made it for me.

Other ways to wear: red printed maxi skirt worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and chambray dress.

Favourite Bag In My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection

What I wore:

Earrings: gold pendant chandelier earrings
Dress: Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: teal 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.
