Maxi Skirts and Striped Tees

I love tee and maxi skirt outfits in summer! And with block colour maxi skirts like these, a striped tee makes such an easy outfit.

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

This was a busy morning! Went with an outfit I'd been meaning to try for a while. I really liked this burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag with my rust ruffle skirt last time I wore it so I knew it would look good with this rust maxi skirt. The burgundy striped tee was an extra bit of matchy-matchy with the bag and I really liked this outfit! Added the navy necklace for a little extra colour and because I like adding these beaded necklaces when I'm not sure what other necklace to go with - the neutrals go with everything.

Wore my New Balance sneakers as there was a bit of driving around! The kids had a school holiday workshop and I had a couple of errands to run before sports in the afternoon. This Avery crossbody was perfect for all my essentials, including my face mask as masks are required indoors again in Brisbane. And I even had time for a sneaky solo opshop browse! I added my lucky thrift find I picked up then to my haul video below.

Last worn: burgundy striped tee, beaded necklace, rust maxi skirt, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody. 

Other ways to wear: burgundy striped tee and shorts, rust maxi skirt in winter, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and little black dress.

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee

Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Another busy but fun day! The kids had a school holiday craft in the morning, we had to pick up a few groceries, then we spent some time at the playground before stopping by the opshop on the way home. They had an "everything for $1" sale on which was perfect for me, I picked up a few clothes and accessories and my sons got a board game for just $1! As you can see from the video above I got some great fashion finds! I took advantage of my leave from work to visit a few opshops I wouldn't usually get to so it was a bumper haul of preloved bargains as well as the $1 sale day finds. After all that morning excitement it was home for lunch before a playdate at the park with my son's school friends in the afternoon.

I think the outfit bought me good luck while opshopping, as both the striped Coca-Cola logo tee and the black ruffle hem maxi skirt are thrift finds! I liked the navy striped tee with the black maxi skirt and the black Rebecca Minkoff studded unlined tote bag carried everything we needed for the day easily!

Last worn: Coca-Cola striped tee, black ruffle maxi skirt, studded sandals. First time I've worn the bag since it was a Christmas gift. 

Other ways to wear: Coca-Cola striped tee and jeans, black ruffle maxi skirt and leather jacket, studded sandals and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in third trimester.
