Magenta Bags With Floral Cover Ups And Black And White Shorts Outfits | Weekday Wear Link Up

Happy New Year! 

For today's Weekday wear Link up, two simple tank and shorts outfits from December. Adding a little more colour with magenta bags, and some print and physical sunblock shoulder coverage with floral cover ups.


What I wore:

Jacketthrifted Supre black sheer floral kimono
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
ShortsJeanswest Sara distressed hot short
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain


Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I wore this cover up, it was definitely due another wear! With the metallic tank that always looks quite white in pics, black and white Converse and the black denim shorts, it was a bit of a monochromatic outfit. This dark floral print was a great way to add a little more colour, and I liked the pinks and purples in the floral print with the magenta Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag.

Also carried a big Woolies tote with this for a picnic blanket and some snacks for a fun playdate in the park that morning. It was a busy day as we had a Christmas event in the evening, but I changed into a different outfit for that.


Last worn: dark floral cover up, black necklace, metallic tank, black denim shorts, Converse, prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC.

30 Ways to Wear a Magenta Bag





What I wore:

JacketCotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
NecklaceHouse of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Tank: Zalora basics ruffle hem tank in black
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit, but it was not the best one for the day. The magenta bag was a wonderful pop of colour against the blue printed cape and the black and white outfit. I liked the extra detail from the little peplum hem on the tank too. The sneakers were very comfortable for a day with a bit of driving around as well.

We'd had a late night the night before, and an early start for a fun STEM event I'd signed the kids up for in the school holidays. Then it was home for a quick lunch before heading out again to a bike riding workshop in the park. It was so much fun watching my son master some really tricky things, although I'd forgotten to get the picnic blanket out of the car and worried the whole time I sat on the grass watching that I was going to stain my white shorts, haha! Thankfully the shorts made it though mud and grass free, but probably should have picked another pair of shorts to wear to ease that worry.


Last worn: blue floral print cape, sunburst necklace, black peplum tank, white Bermuda shorts, New Balance sneakers, Marc By Marc Jacobs convertible clutch.

How You Can Wear It:

Black and white outfits are always a classic fail safe colour combination to try. You can always add more colour to a base outfit in these shades with a printed cover up or a bright bag, or by wearing both, as I have in these outfits.



Apologies for the lack of a Weekday Wear Link up last week. I didn't get around to scheduling this post in advance as I'd usually do so the blog was a bit silent over Christmas as my son was unexpectedly unwell. Now he's feeling better I have a little more time to catch up with posts.

  7. That floral kimono is just stunning! I love it. Such a beautiful piece! I'm glad the white shorts made it through unscathed, but I can definitely understand why you were worried. They look fabulous though!

  12. Believe it or not, but I could almost wear shorts today, and tomorrow is going to be even warmer! But, we're back to freezing next week! I love how your floral kimono brightens up the entire outfit! And, the STEM activities sound like fun!

  15. Can I start off by saying how insanely jealous I am that you are wearing shorts? The weather hasn't turned treacherous yet here in the midwest, but I know it'll be here before we know it!

    The pop of color with the bag is amazing - I love how rich that purple is. I am glad to know that your little one is feeling better! :)

  21. LOVING the color of this bag! Bags like this can do double duty and can be worn out to run errands or out for drinks. It looks great with both looks and the floral kimono is gorgeous. Happy New Year!!
