Tiered Kmart Dresses, Bead necklaces and Crossbody Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing two tiered Kmart dresses I wore recently, in different colours and lengths! I wore my little crossbody bags to carry the essentials, and accessorised these dresses with different statement beaded necklaces. Both necklaces were recent opshop (thrift) finds!

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

This started out as a lazy quiet day with the kids at the playground, trying to get out early to avoid the heat. We'd just got home for lunch when my sister called looking for present advice - she was out shopping with my mum. Ended up deciding to meet them for lunch at Ikea, their next destination. Gotta love the Ikea meatballs! I was very restrained and only walked out of Ikea with two storage boxes I'd been looking for, usually I buy a lot more than I intend to. There were some very cute things there but I resisted.

Wore my Adidas Superstar sneakers for comfort - great for running around the playground with the kids and they also worked for exploring Ikea. I like blue and purple together but surprisingly haven't worn this lilac necklace with this navy tiered dress before - it was such a nice combo. The Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag in plum is a very different shade of purple, but I liked it with the navy too and thought both shades of purple accessories worked well with this outfit.

It was great to have time catching up with family, and also good to see how quickly Ikea was open again after the floods the week before. I hadn't realised it had flooded until we saw the sign at the door advising us they were still working on restoring everything. A few car parks were roped off as they were still flooded but other than that it was business as usual in the store.

Last worn: Kmart navy tiered dress, lilac beaded necklace, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart navy tiered dress and peach bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.

Most Used, Least Used, and Cutest Bag in My Handbag Collection

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Amerii medium sling rattan bag in black (c/o)

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a birthday party for my son's friend. It was another hot and humid day back at the end of summer so I was thankful it was a pool party! This light tiered Kmart dress is so good in the heat too. I tried to dress it up a little with this big black multi strand beaded necklace I picked up at the opshop back in February. I figured it was a good piece as it's easy to put on and take off and it's waterproof too.

Spent most of the time in the pool with the kids so I didn't get a lot of wear from this dress, but it was perfect for before and after swimming, such a good cover up! We were really lucky to have perfect timing - the rain didn't arrive until we were cutting the cake at the end of the party, although it had been a wet day the day before and turned into a very rainy afternoon.

I didn't need to carry much on me as I had a big reusable tote with all our swimming things and towels, so just had this cute little straw circle bag for my phone, keys and wallet. Hadn't worn this little straw bag in a while so it was definitely due another wear, I wasn't concerned about it getting splashed or getting wet in the rain either.


Last worn: black multi strand beaded necklace, fuchsia tiered dress, Havaianas, Amerii circle bag.

Other ways to wear: fuchsia tiered dress and metallic clutch, Amerii circle bag and denim jacket.

How You Can Wear It:

A cute tiered dress in any length is an easy pull on and go instant outfit. You can always accessorise with a bid beaded statement necklace like I have here to help your outfit feel a little more pulled together, and a little crossbody bag is always a good choice as well.
