Striped Dresses Scarves Chloe Ethel Bag

Two outfits I wore back at the start of May, when I just needed to add some cute scarves to these summer striped dresses to make them autumn weather appropriate.

What I wore:

Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
Dress: Cotton On 'Tina' white striped tee dress in Lissy black / Gardenia
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Last time I wore this black and white striped tee dress with a blue statement necklace I really liked the combination, so I tried to replicate a similar outfit again with this blue grid print scarf. When I saw the scarf in the opshop I knew it would look so cute worn with striped pieces, and I really liked this outfit! Even if it was a little warm for the scarf in the middle of the day, it was nice in the cooler morning and evening.

Felt my Chloe Ethel bag was overdue another wear, and it was just the right size. I had an appointment to go to in the morning and this fits so much - easily space for all of my essentials plus the latest library book I was reading, for entertainment in the waiting room.

This was such a comfortable outfit too, as aside from the appointment I was just working from home. I've been liking dresses on those kind of days, simple instant outfits!


Last worn: black and white striped tee dress, Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the blue grid print scarf as I thrifted it back in summer.

Other ways to wear: black and white striped tee dress in winter, Converse and shorts, Chloe Ethel bag and pink dress.
 
Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl parrot print scarf (c/o)
Dress: Target navy and white striped shift dress with frill sleeves
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Another working from home and school run outfit. Wanted to add some colour to this outfit, but couldn't decide that morning which scarf would look best when the one I'd planned seemed too warm for the day - it was quite humid! This lighter parrot print scarf was one I eventually settled on, and I really liked it with the dress. It did make me a little late to drop the kids off at school though, trying on all these different scarves in the morning. 😂 Thankfully we made it in class before the bell as I was parent helper. It ended up being a much cooler afternoon too so I was wishing when I picked up the kids from school that I had picked the warmer scarf to wear!

Again the Chloe Ethel bag was the perfect neutral bag for this - although I did just have to carry my essentials this time around, I thought the caramel colour was really nice with the print in the scarf.


Last worn: parrot print scarf, navy striped shift dress, blue Converse, Chloe Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wear: parrot print scarf and teal top, navy striped shift dress and statement necklace, blue Converse and midi skirt, Chloe Ethel bag and jeans.

How You Can Wear It:

Stripes are fun to print mix with! For a subtle but still fun print mix, try adding a printed scarf to a striped dress like I have in these outfits.
