What I wore:
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather
Why I wore it:
Surprisingly I haven't worn this coral red tee with this tropical floral print duster before! They are such a good combination, even if the shades of red don't match. I added this fun statement beaded necklace for a touch of even more red, and the little aqua mini MAC bag was another bright pop of colour.
This was a great outfit for a busy school holiday day before Christmas! Took the kids out to watch a Christmas movie in the morning, they picked up a few last minute presents and we had time for some Christmas craft at the shopping centre too before heading home as we had sports in the afternoon.
We saw the "A Boy Called Christmas" movie and it was really good! Highly recommend watching it - maybe next year as Christmas is long over now - I've just been a bit behind with sharing outfits!

Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in terracotta
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather
Why I wore it:
Since I liked the outfit above so much I followed the outfit formula again a few days later. Went with this shorter blue printed kimono this time, and this slouchy red round neck tee. So nice paired with the blue Bermuda denim shorts, and again with the aqua mini MAC bag.
Wore my supportive New Balance sneakers, as again we had a busy day! Dropping off some donations at the opshop in the morning, and of course having a little browse, and then some shopping and having lunch with mum at IKEA.
Last worn: blue printed kimono, silver heart necklace, red tee, Bermuda denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag (above).
Other ways to wear: blue printed kimono and pink shorts, red tee and maxi skirt, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and jeans.
Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in third trimester.
How You Can Wear It:
A kimono is a great piece to have in your wardrobe for summer! You can throw it over a basic shorts and tee outfit, as I have here, to add more colour and interest to your outfit.

I am loving both of these outfits! I especially love the first one, the top and kimono look beautiful together, what a great combination xx

Mica, this is a great formula that merits repeating! Also, love your necklaces in both outfits, and your colorful RM bag. Hope you have a good week and thanks for sharing!

Kimonos are such great outfit toppers! I'm glad I can inspire you :)

ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
I love the pops of red (or rather, coral and terracotta) in these outfits and the aqua bag is perfect with both. My favourite is the first one, with the darker floral kimono and that gorgeous necklace! xxx

Love your review as always ))
ReplyDeleteI love how you dressed up your shorts and tee with a kimono. Even though, it is a casual outfit, it still elevates the look. I also adore the color of your RM bag. It is so refreshing to see such a vibrant color. We are in the middle of winter and color really fight off the greyest or dreary days. I hope you are having a great day so far and happy Monday!

Thanks Maureen! I think kimonos are great for dressing up a plain shorts and tee outfit! :)
DeleteThat first outfit with the gorgeous bright colors together is beautiful on you! Love that combination!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty outfits, and I always love your kimonos! I feel like I need to buy some to add to my closet. You always inspire me with those. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen A Boy Called Christmas, but I will definitely check into it. I hope that you have a wonderful week, friend!

I love the vivid colours in the first look. That printed kimono is so fabulous and matches nicely with the colourful necklace. I love the terracotta red top and the denim shorts combo. That mini turquoise bag is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe second outfit is also very cute. Have a nice day!
Wonderful mix of colors and patterns. You look fabulous as always.

Very cute outfits, Mica! I love the pop that turquoise brings to the looks - it's one of my "neutrals" in summer!

Boy, that aqua purse really adds so much fun to both outfits Mica.

I'm in Miami this week and I've seen so many women wearing kimonos—they remind me of you, especially in this post! Think I might need to buy one to wear while I'm here ;)
ReplyDeleteCheryl Shops | www.cherylshops.net
They are great for warm weather! They are a staple for me in the Brisbane heat!
DeleteKimonos and jean shorts are my go to's in the Summer. I like both of your outfits!
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely a staple of my summer outfits too!
Deletelooking amazing in red!
ReplyDeletehave a great week,

Great colour combo as always, Mica! That coral tee for sure goes so well with that duster:) And I know I've said this before, but am really jealous of your weather there right now...sigh....to feel the heat again:D
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how we don't think of pairing some colors and then when we do, we're so delighted? You make wearing kimonos so carefree and fun! I just can't seem to find one that I feel right in. Oh, well, I have plenty of other things to wear! It's so funny to see you wearing shorts as we're smack in the middle of winter here!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the link up!

Hope you can find the right one for you - I have so many, I like all the different lengths and colours available in my wardrobe, but I don't take home every kimono I see - definitely has to be the right one!
DeleteThe coral tee and kimono look is my favorite. The beaded necklace is a perfect match to the outfit.
