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
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca 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.

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoesblack 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.

Other ways to wearfuchsia 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.

  10. You always have such cute summer dresses!!!! Really, it seems like there is an endless supply. I love both of these so much. Easy to dress up/down, comfortable and easy to move in after the kids. I am loving how nicely that crossbody bag paired with the navy dress. It really pops against the navy color. Have a wonderful week ahead.

  26. Great colourful outfits here, Mica! That blue dress goes so well with all the shades of purple and I love your pink dress with the black accessories - very chic.

    I have never been in an Ikea! I love that black straw bag - I have a brown one just like it!

    Thanks so much for the link-party! Have an awesome week, my friend!

  28. That pink dress is perfect for a cover up and especially when it's really hot. There could be sweat dripping down your back, and it's loose enough it wouldn't be clinging to you.

  38. These are both cute dresses and I would totally wear both too! I love tiered dresses. They are so pretty. I am glad IKEA is open for business after getting flooded. We love their meatballs too! We haven't been to a birthday party in awhile but how fun that it's a pool party. My son would totally go crazy for it! I hope your week is off to a great start and happy Tuesday!
