Block Colour Tiered Kmart Midi Dresses With Sneakers And Painted Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two bright block colour tiered midi dresses from Kmart, and a very special statement bag for today's Weekday Wear Link Up!

My friend Sheila reached out and offered to personalise one of my many handbags to create a unique and special piece that means the world to me. This one of a kind Rebecca Minkoff handbag has so many little personal touches and I think you will agree as you see me wear it more and more, it goes perfectly with so many pieces in my wardrobe.


What I wore:

Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia with statement earrings, converse, and hand painted floral crossbody bag | awayfromtheblue

pink dress with Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila | awayfromblue


Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

What better way to bring some cheer to a Monday morning than by wearing a nice bright dress, and taking a new bag out for a spin! As I didn't have any bags that were light enough to become a canvas for Sheila when she extended the offer to customise one for me, I snapped this one up on eBay for her to return into a work of art. Never got around to getting pics with it before sending it to Sheila - but it was a completely plain, pale lilac tote bag before she unleashed her creativity on it.

I really like how the purple and blue roses worked with the fuchsia pink of the dress, and I had to go a little matchy-matchy with the lilac tassel earrings. Maybe a little overdressed for a couple of errands to run after school drop off, working from home and then picking the kids up from school in the afternoon. But it felt so good to wear all of these pieces together - I knew when I pulled this bag out the box that this dress would be the first thing I wore it with!


Last worn: lilac earrings, silver circle necklace, fuchsia pink tiered dress, Converse. First time I've shared the Rebecca Minkoff personalised mini MAB tote on the blog.

coral dress with Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila | awayfromblue


Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

This coral dress definitely doesn't match any of the colours in this bag, but again I loved the little floral illustrations on the bag making a statement against the bold block colour of the tiered dress.

This outfit shows a little of the lilac tint to the leather on the bag as well I think - as you can see it's not quite the same shade as my white statement necklace. Unlike the outfit above, I went with comfortable New Balance sneakers instead of my Converse as I'd managed to aggravate my knee injury, and we had a little driving around to do. Just the usual school drop off and pick up, helping out in my son's classroom in the morning, working from home, and then the library in the afternoon. It was such a windy day I considered a denim jacket with this dress in the morning, but thankfully it had warmed up in the afternoon.

How You Can Wear It:

A pretty printed bag can be the fun statement in your outfit when you wear it with a block colour dress like these.

  8. Having followed Sheila's transformation of your Rebecca Minkoff bag into a veritable work of art, I couldn't wait to see you wearing it on the blog. It's absolutely stunning and works extremely well with both your pink and coral tiered midi dresses. I'm not surprised the first dress you thought of when you pulled the bag out of its box was the fuchsia one. This really is a match made in heaven! xxx

  14. I cannot believe she created that beautiful design on the purse. It's amazing. And I love that you wore it with a dress that didn't have any colors of the purse in it.
    AMAZING outfits, Mica,

  15. Oh, there it is!! yay! I loved watching your video too. You can find pics of the plain bag (just go backwards in my process pics), and feel free to save them for yourself (you can just right click to save any of them).

    LOVE the purse with your pink dress, but I really like it with the coral. No need to match when you've got that statement on your arm!

  19. This is my favorite bag of yours. I love how cheerful it is and not plain at all! The flowers in different colors are perfect for spring/summer and there is still enough white to make it neutral enough. LOVE IT!
