Floral Print Dresses, Sneakers and Pink Mini 5 Zip Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Keeping things simple for some super hot days we had back at the start of February, wearing sneakers and floral print dresses with my little pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. Great outfits for the school run and then for running a few errands while the kids were at school.

What I wore:

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite and rose quartz bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This was one of those days where everything went wrong! While getting the kids ready for school I ran a quick load of laundry, throwing in a couple of things I'd found at the opshop the day before. Only to open the machine at the end of the cycle to find that one of the cute scarves I'd thrifted had turned everything blue! 

Despite my best efforts with two sachets of colour run remover, it ruined a few clothes. While I saved the majority of my clothes I was really annoyed at losing 3 dresses, particularly because I'd just thrifted the dresses! Everything that I couldn't save even after my second try at colour run remover I tossed in the bag I keep around for collecting items for the H&M recycling program - anything too torn or stained goes in there so the fabric can be recycled.

It was a hot day too which didn't help my bad mood with my bad laundry luck! I picked this light sundress to wear, it's perfect on a hot day, for rushing around the shops buying more colour run remover after dropping the kids off at school, and for taking Cooper to the vets for a check up before school pick up. Thankfully that appointment went well, even if the vet was running a little late so I was stressed about making it back on time to pick up the kids. Was glad when this day was over!

While the pink iris mini 5-zip bag doesn't match the blush pink floral and leaf print on the dress, I like wearing other shades of pink with this sundress. I find most pink shades go together nicely with the blush even though they don't match. The turquoise necklace and the blue Converse don't match the navy of the dress either, but they compliment it nicely.

Last worn: Kmart tiered sundress, beaded necklace, Roie Designs bracelets, Converse All Star, pink mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart tiered sundress and winter knit, Converse All Star and midi dress, pink mini 5-zip bag and autumn leaves dress.

What I wore:

Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This was a much better day than the one above! It was also the day before. After school drop off I'd decided to spend a little time at the opshops browsing and ended up picking up some nice things (including the scarf mentioned above that ruined some clothes, along with the dresses I also thrifted on this day!). I was feeling really good about some of my cute finds, it's a shame I didn't get to actually wear them and they are only good for recycling now.

Also took Cooper to our groomer for a summer clip - he'd been overdue with how hectic January was for us so he looked like a brand new dog with the shorter fur! The kids were so amused by his appearance when I picked them up from school.

As it was another hot day I went with a simple tee dress - this tropical floral print one is a favourite of mine and always looks good with sneakers. While I've had this dress a while (and this is it's 22nd wear), I've never tried a pink bag with it! It has a lot of colours in the print but no pink. I wasn't sure how it would go but I put this bag on just to see and I was surprised that it worked. I'm glad I tried something a little different with this dress!


Last worn: Atmos&Here willow tee dress, jade bracelets, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Atmos&Here willow tee dress in winter, Adidas Superstar sneakers and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and flared dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Atmos&Here willow tee dress in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Dresses and sneakers are a fashionable combo that make for a really comfortable outfit on a hot day! For a little extra colour, try pairing a bright bag with a printed dress like I have with the pink mini 5 zip bag in these outfits.
