Printed Dresses and Little Red Saddle Bag

Sharing another couple of outfits I wore back in December, when adding a little red bag to my outfits felt rather festive! With both of these printed dresses I wore my Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag for a pop of red.

What I wore:

Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a crazy morning! I'd seen our local opshop announce that it was having another fill a bag for $10 sale and we were rushing around trying to get ready to go when the in laws stopped over, so we all headed to the opshop together. Can't beat a good bargain! I got a lot of great things for myself at the sale, and the kids were happy with their thrift hauls too. I folded up the clothes quite small so there was plenty of room for toys and books and puzzles in the $10 bag.

I wasn't sure if this outfit was a bit too Christmas-y with the red saddle bag and the green dress, but I think this is something I could wear outside of December too, as there is a red flower in the print of the dress. I really liked this dress and bag together!


Last worn: floral print tee dress, New Balance sneakers, red unlined studded saddle bag.

Rebecca Minkoff Saddle Bag: What's In My Bag

---

What I wore:

Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress

Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Another fun school holiday day starting out the morning with a bit more opshopping, followed by a playdate in the park, a quick stop at the grocery store, and a doctor's appointment. I always do a big clear out before Christmas so we had a lot of bags to donate to the opshop with things that the kids no longer played with and some clothes they couldn't fit into.

As we had planned to be at the park playdate for a while I picked this printed dress to wear as I like the longer sleeves giving a bit of physical sunblock. Even with the long sleeves, the fabric is light enough to wear on a hot day like this was.

Despite this printed dress being very different from the floral print one above, I loved the red bag with this blue print as well. Not the first time I've worn a red bag with this dress!

Last worn: tile print dress, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag (above).

Other ways to wear: tile print dress with pink, studded sandals and shorts, red unlined studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: tile print dress in second trimester, studded sandals in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A little red bag is a great pop of colour to add to any dress - even vastly different printed dresses like these two are.
