Green Floral Prints and Grey Tees With Black Studded Tote Bag

Sometimes my outfit posts are two very similar outfits that follow the same formula. Other times, like today's post, it's just me trying to find some kind of similarity in what I wore so I can group them together for a post! Sharing two green floral print, grey tee and skirt outfits, two very different looks with very different pieces.


What I wore:

grey tee, black statement necklace accessories unlined tote bag and green daisy print midi skirt ghanda | awayfromblue

green daisy print skirt with Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware | awayfromtheblue


Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
ShoesWalnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Another busy day! My son had a specialist appointment which lucky for him meant he missed a little bit of school that morning. We headed into the city - unfortunately with all the traffic - in the morning, and then I dropped him off at school and worked from home for a bit before school pickup in the afternoon.

I was determined to try this midi skirt with something other than Converse - these little black ballet flats were cute, although maybe not the best for driving with my knee injury, and matched the black statement necklace nicely. Both the skirt and necklace are recent opshop finds. I wasn't quite sure if this grey tunic top worked with the green midi skirt - maybe too relaxed a style with it, I went back and forth a few times but in the end I liked this outfit, I'm glad I gave it a try! A grey tee really does go with anything!


Last worn: grey tunic, black multi strand necklace, green floral midi skirt, ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to weargrey tunic and printed shorts, green floral midi skirt and Converse, ballet flats and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancyballet flats in second trimester.

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
TeeJimmy Rees Pfiiiiizer darling vaxed tee
SkirtNobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

Couldn't resist getting another wear of my Jimmy Rees Pfiiiiizer tee to the vaccination centre! Took the boys back for their second vaccine dose. I was feeling a lot better than when we took them for their first one back at the start of the year, when I was still recovering from my wisdom tooth surgery.

We had a trip to the library that day too so I added this green floral print duster to my outfit to keep me warm in the cold aircon in both places. It's not the same shade of green as the text on the tee but I love this duster with grey tees! And with the grey tee, black denim skirt, black Converse, and black tote bag, it was a very monochromatic outfit without that pop of colour from the kimono! The black tote bag was a must though, for carrying snacks, water bottles, and a little post-vaccination lolly for the kids. They were very brave.



How You Can Wear It:

The outfits above would work with any colourful printed piece you're not too confident about wearing. Any colour looks great with a grey tee! It's the best wardrobe basic!

  1. I really like the first outfit and I bet it was nice to wear the ballet flats for a change. Too bad they weren't so great for your knee though.
    Hope you are having a great week so far Mica!

    I really like the second look, I'm a big fan of kimonos!
    You always have your days so full and with so many tasks, you must arrive at the end of the day exhausted!!

  8. As a lover of all things green, I do love both of these outfits, Mica! I think the first one looks very dressed up and indeed, the grey tunic top works very well with the midi skirt. The green floral duster in the second outfit is a stunner! xxx

  10. Ya for your boys being full vaccinated. Looks like they might been coming out with a short for kids 6 and under now. So we are just waiting and see. In 7 month baby girl will be 5.

  11. Congrats to the boys on being fully vaxxed now! I love the pink star charm you've added to your RM tote--it really pops and is so fun! :) The green looks great on you. For some reason, I just never gravitate toward green for myself, haha.

    1. I'm definitely trying to be more open to it but find it to be a tricky colour to style!
      And I feel a lot better having them vaccinated - even though I know it's mild in most kids, don't want to take chances!

  12. Hooray for double-vaxxed! What a great feeling it is!

    I LOVE your first outfit, Mica - and maybe it's the light, but your grey tee looks purple. The black necklace and ballet flats are AWESOME together, and the green skirt gives this a really nice 20s (the 1920s!) silhouette. I bet you got a lot of compliments! Maybe you can find an all-black ballet flat style athletic shoe - I'm sure they make such a thing (I used to have a Puma pair).

    The kimono is the star of your second look - and again, I'm really liking the darker colours on you.

    PS - I sent you an email! :)

  14. I am glad you are finding all kinds of ways to wear that green skirt. I don't think I have tried a grey top with mine: so need to plan to do that.

    1. Grey is my go-to neutral when I'm unsure what to wear with something, haha! It always works!

  15. The ballet flats are a stylish way to dress up that first outfit without giving up the comfort you would get from Converse. It's too bad they weren't the best choice for driving with your knee still on the mend. That's great that your boys got their second vaccination. It must give you more peace of mind.

    1. Yes I feel better with them being vaxxed. I want to wear all my other pretty shoes more, and get back to my ballets flats, but a day with so much driving was not the best idea!

  16. Great news about the boys being double jabbed (as we say in the UK!) Loving both looks, you look really elegant in the first outfit and the kimono in the second is gorgeous. xxx

  17. I really like the skirt of the 1st outift, even if a kimono+miniskirt combo looks always so effortlessly cool!
    Really I cant choice which one is my fav: they're different but both with the same level of style!
