Navy Striped Dresses, Scarves and Ankle Boots With Pink Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

As the start of Spring (1st September) gets closer here in Brisbane, I took the chance to brave bare legs. Still layered up with scarves and ankle boots though as winter isn't over just yet.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day. It was a really cloudy morning, threatening rain, but I was sure it would warm up later so I went bare legged. I was so cold in the afternoon though, it just seemed to get colder through the day! Luckily it was a busy afternoon, so the running around kept me warm! In the morning we had school drop off, I helped out in my son's class, and then I worked from home. After school pick up we ran a couple of errands with a stop to buy presents for a birthday party that weekend, and visited the library. So busy!

At least I liked this outfit, even if I did regret not wearing leggings with it! This Louis Vuitton scarf is such a nice blue with the white and navy striped dress, and I really like how the scarf pops against the black leather jacket too. The jacket was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the black ankle boots, and the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag added even more colour.


Last worn: leather jacket, Louis Vuitton shawl, navy stripe dress, black ankle boots, pink mini 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and maxi skirt, Louis Vuitton shawl and maxi dress, navy stripe dress and denim jacket, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, pink mini 5 zip bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings

Scarf: thrifted checked purple pashmina scarf
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

I loved all the colours in this outfit, and unlike the day above, bare legs were perfect as it warmed up quickly! I even considered taking the scarf off in the afternoon, although for sports in the evening it had cooled off a lot and I did cover up my legs.

It was a relaxed day. School drop off, a quick errand, and then working from home before school pick up in the afternoon, then sports in the evening. I really like pink and purple and blue together, and although the pieces in this outfit are all different intensities of these shades, I love the combination! The navy and black striped dress is a great backdrop for the pink mini 5 zip bag and purple scarf to shine.

How You Can Wear It:

Striped dresses are a great wardrobe basic! So easy to add more colour to them with accessories like bright scarves or a little pink bag, as I have here in these outfits.
