Printed Shift Dresses and Mini Crossbody Bags

A couple of very hot days at the end of spring recently in Brisbane made these easy printed shift dresses the best option! Worn with some of my mini Rebecca Minkoff bags because I really needed to feel as light as possible with the heat and humidity!


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral


DressAtmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral


Why I wore it:

Practical supportive sneakers for a little bit of driving around, with the school run, helping in my son's classroom, working from home, and then having to run a few errands after picking the boys up from school. We had to get a gift for an upcoming birthday party, and had some overdue library books to return as well.

Such a hot spring day meant a light tee dress like this was perfect. I really like all of the colours in the tropical floral print of this dress, but I think this is the first time I've ever tried wearing orange with it, despite a little bit of peach in the print. I think that the coral Rebecca Minkoff small Love crossbody bag really pops with the green background of the dress. It was a colour combination that made me happy.


Last worn: tropical print shift dress, New Balance sneakers, pale coral Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag.

What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren with striped tee dress


Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
DressCotton On 'Tina' white striped tee dress in Lissy black / Gardenia
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren


Why I wore it:

Got a bit of a quiff going on! We were, as usual, running late that morning and with the heat and humidity my hair was not quite behaving. Had to tie my hair back as after quickly resolving an issue at work we were off to a pool party for the day. Perfect weather for it!

This little striped tee dress was a great bikini cover up, and the necklace was an attempt to dress it up a little, although it spent most of the party in my bag as I was in the pool with the kids. Too hot to sit on the side lines!

Other than my car keys and phone I really didn't need much as I had a big beach tote with towels and swimming accessories and a change of clothes for the kids, so this little mini Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag was perfect for carrying so little.


Last worn: black white striped tee dress, terrazzo necklace, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff olive small Darren bag.

How You Can Wear It:

On a hot day, a light shift dress is perfect. With an added print and a cute little crossbody bag, it's an effortless way of getting ready. As you can see in the second outfit too, it's a great bikini cover up as well!

  4. I LOVE the orange bag with the green printed dress, Mica - it looks so good with that! I am a major fan of the striped dress too - but this bag feels a little "meh" with it. It's a lovely bag, but I found myself wishing for some colour, like a bright yellow. :) Have a good week, my friend.

    1. Yes I think a bigger or brighter bag would have worked better - or a more colourful necklace! Was perfectly practical for a pool party but maybe needed something a bit more to look better!

  6. As the temperature is dropping below zero here, it's hard to imagine it being hot and having to dress for heat and humidity!
    Being a fan of colour, your first outfit is my favourite. That pale coral bag is just perfect with it, what a gorgeous colour! xxx

  10. Both of these pretty dresses have me dreaming of warmth, my friend! While it's technically fall, it feels like winter is here in Ohio, so I'm already wishing it was spring/summer, haha.
