Blue Dresses and Pale Pink MAB Studded Crossbody Bag in Desert Rose | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing two simple outfits. Blue dresses from my wardrobe paired with the new-to-me Rebecca Minkoff Desert Rose studded MAB crossbody bag that I got for Christmas.


What I wore:

NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoesslim gold Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose (Christmas present)


Why I wore it:

This is one of my favourite dresses! My sister got it for me last Christmas and I feel I don't wear it nearly often enough, so got it out again for a rare child free day with hubby. The kids spent the day at the in-laws and Hubby and I both had the day off.

Spent a little time with my sister too, travelled down the coast to have dinner with her. This dress was perfect for the whole day. I like the relaxed fit in the the heat and humidity, a storm hit as we were having dinner.

While there isn't any pink in the leaf print of this dress, I really liked the desert rose pink against the navy and with the autumnal colours in the print. I was pleased the two looked so good together, as I was eager to wear my new bag for the first time. The bag was a Christmas present I'd spotted on a random browse of the Real Real when I picked up a couple of other bags late last year, and told hubby I was getting it for Christmas! Shipping to Australia from the Real Real can be quite expensive, but spread over the cost of a few bags, it was a lot better. Just meant a bit of a wait until I could unwrap the bag from under the Christmas tree and start enjoying it!


Last worn: Jaase Celine navy dress, Tiffany heart necklace, gold Havaianas. First time I've worn the bag as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: Jaase Celine navy dress and denim jacket.



Revealing the Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB Crossbody Bag:

NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoesslim gold Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

This was another hot summer day, so again the day called for a nice simple dress! My sister and I had a couple of errands, a trip to the dentist, and a little browse in the opshop. I got a Lego set for the boys for $1 which was awesome! We had lunch together before I headed home as well.

Again I really liked the navy print of this dress with the little pink MAB crossbody bag. Pink and blue just look so good together!

Just like the outfit above, the silver necklace matched the silver hardware on the bag, and then I went with gold Havaianas as it was much too hot to consider any other footwear.


Last worn: tile print dress, Tiffany heart necklace (above), gold Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff desert rose MAB crossbody (above).

Other ways to weartile print dress and ankle boots.

Perfect for pregnancytile print dress in second trimester.



How You Can Wear It:


Pink and blue look great together! Try a little pink bag against a blue printed dress - even if there are other colours in the print, like in the first outfit, you might love the combination as I did!

  3. Both dresses are perfect for a summery day. I love the first dress as it's a bit on the dressy side and sounds like you had the perfect occasion to wear it. It's always nice to have a whole day without the kids to feel like adults. You new purse is perfect! Enjoy the week.

  5. You look great in both of your pretty blue print summer dresses. So refreshing to see when we are bundled up in the dead of winter, here! Love your new studded pink bag, too. The color is subtle and will blend with a lot of things in your wardrobe, I think. Thanks for sharing and have a good week!

  10. I know this is desert rose, but your new bag really reads more of a warm browny-tan to me. I love it - what a lovely bag - that front studded flap is stunning.

    You look gorgeous in your dresses, Mica! This long-sleeved/short skirt dress style really suits you. Hooray for a kid-free day! Glad you and hubby got a day to yourselves to reconnect.

    Thanks so much for the link-party!
