Layering Dresses For A Wet Summer

Layering up two dresses a little for some wetter than normal summer days last month, earlier in December. 


What I wore:

JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

Had to break out the ankle boots as this day was so wet! A little frustrated I didn't get a great pic of this outfit as it was pouring with rain. But I loved the outfit and the ankle boots were a very practical choice!

We had an important appointment for my son in the morning and then I decided to stop at our favourite opshop before I got home too. Regretted my decision to go to the opshop though as the rain got really heavy as I was driving and I ended up leaving the shop empty handed as nothing caught my eye. Luckily the rain had changed to a steady drizzle by the time I left though instead of the crazy downpour that happened while I was driving!

Did love my outfit though, this white denim jacket was a great topper with the blue floral tiered sundress and kept me warm despite all the rain. Although the Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag is a different shade of pink from the pastel on the floral print of the dress but I still thought it was a good combination. Just like the lilac necklace that didn't match the dress but was a nice third colour also.





What I wore:

chambray dress with green white floral duster kimono adidas superstar sneakers, rebecca minkoff love too bag | awayfromblue

green floral duster, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
JacketJeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
NecklaceTiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Dress: Jeanswest Rachel Lyocell chambray dress
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Thankfully I didn't have to drive around in really heavy rain on this day! Although it did rain it wasn't as bad as the day above. Still felt the need to layer up my sleeveless dress a little though to combat the chill when it rained, and this green floral duster was the perfect topper to keep my shoulders and arms warm.

This Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag is such a nice shade of teal and I really like wearing it with green, it works well with the duster. And of course it looks good with the chambray dress too that's the perfect neutral.

Added the navy tassel earrings to dress up my outfit a little, even though I was just a regular day with the school run, sports for the little one then sports for both boys again in the evening. 


Last worn: green floral duster, navy tassel earrings, diamond necklace, chambray dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag

How You Can Wear It:

Denim jackets and duster kimonos are easy, light layers to add to a planned dress outfit when a wet and wild summer makes things a littler cooler than you expected.

    1. Summer is our rainy season so it's not too strange, but a couple of cooler very wet rainy days in a row like this isn't normal - it's usually summer storms on hot days!

    heat with rain is very annoying, but I think you solved the issue very well, I liked the first look most!

  9. I remember having to break out my ankle boots several times last Summer, and my sandals didn't get worn as much as usual!
    My favourite outfit is the second one. I love green combined with chambray or denim! I hope your week is going well, Mica! xxx

  16. I love how you layered both of these dresses. The first dress you wore is very pretty and it looks great worn with a denim jacket. The second dress looks great with the kimono. Two winning outfits. You look lovely!

  17. Beautiful outfits, Mica! As always, I love your kimonos and your green one is gorgeous. :)

    Sorry you had to trudge in the rain these days. It is so uncomfortable to have to be out in, especially driving through heavy rain. Here in Ohio, we are in winter and getting ready for a winter storm coming through this weekend.

    Wishing you the brightest rest of your week, friend!

  20. Beautiful looks, as always. I am a bit jealous that you have Kmart there. Ours all went out of business here years ago. I may need to hop a plane and come on a shopping spree there lol

    Have a great weekend!

    1. It's a shame they closed! They are going strong here as it's a different company despite the same name - they have taken over the closing Target stores :)

  22. I love my white denim jacket. I am really into wanting more dresses this year and so glad I have been finding one here and there at the consignment store. I actually got 2 swing knee length dresses while shopping with my mom at Jcpenney for about $3 each and she got them for me! I am going to try one of them with boots and a sweater as they are summer dresses.

  24. Both of these looks are so cute! I love that ivory denim jacket too--such a great, versatile layer. That's a go-to combo I always love, denim jacket, dress, and cute boots.
