Blue and Pink Floral Dresses With Purple Chloe Paraty Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing one of my favourite colour trios of blue, pink and purple together for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Braving the current Brisbane heatwave in some pretty floral print dresses, nice and light for the hot and humid days, and accessorising with the purple Chloe Paraty bag I got for Christmas.

NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

First day of school! After what seemed like a very short summer break, it was back to school for the kids. I was a bit emotional, as they were staring their new grades, but they were just so happy to be back with all their friends and catch up with those we hadn't had the chance to have playdates with over the holidays.

After school drop off, I had a quick errand to run before working from home, and then back to pick up the kids in the afternoon before taking them out for a little treat for completing the first day of school for the year.

I really like pink and purple together, so was eager to try this pretty purple Paraty bag with this black dress, with the pink and blue floral print. I really liked the combination, and I appreciated this light dress on such a hot and humid day. It felt like it was constantly going to storm all day, but the rain didn't break until later that evening.


Last worn: resin earrings, silver Tiffany necklace, Kmart wisteria print dress, studded sandals, Chloe small purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearKmart wisteria print dress and floral bag, studded sandals and maxi skirt, Chloe small purple Paraty bag with shorts.

Perfect for pregnancystudded sandals in second trimester.

Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This was another hot day - much too hot to wear anything more than a simple dress for the school run, and spend the day working from home and enjoying the aircon while doing so! We had planned to complete a couple of errands after I picked the kids up from school, but we decided to skip it and complete them the next day, so we could just relax in the cool air at home.

As this is a spaghetti strap sundress I usually try cover up my shoulders when I wear this dress, to add some physical sunblock. But with the heat and humidity - and us avoiding spending too much time outside, I was not going to tolerate any layering. Except the little bit of necklace layering I tried. Thank goodness for light tiered dresses like this in heatwaves, instant outfit!


Last worn: Kmart tiered sundress, coin necklace, stone pendant necklace, Havaianas, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wearKmart tiered sundress and denim jacket, Chloe purple Paraty bag and shorts and tee.


How You Can Wear It:

Blue, pink, and purple are a wonderful trio when worn together. If you're unsure about wearing three colours in one outfit, use an accessory to give you that third colour, as I have here with the purple Chloe Paraty bag.

  1. I am always a fan of floral dresses and both of these are so pretty. I really love the second one, and I'm usually the same way about covering up my shoulders (I burn so easily), but sometimes you just have to be cool, haha!

    Hope you have a fantastic start to your week, my friend! :)

  7. Two gorgeous dresses, Mica, although with the temperatures being just above freezing point here, it's hard to imagine wearing a spaghetti strap dress :-)
    Your new purple bag is a stunner, such a sumptuous colour! xxx

  10. That long-sleeved dress has to be my favourite - and it goes SO well with your lovely purple bag, Mica! I can't even imagine it being so warm here - but your sundress sounds like the best solution for a sweltering day! Says the woman wearing 3 layers PLUS a coat today!

    Thank you so much for the link-party, my dear friend!

  14. That long sleeved dress is a dream, Mica! It's so strange to think of your little ones starting their new school year in February. Ours are getting ready for Spring Break in a few weeks! I invite you to join me for 10 on the 10th and a link party on Friday!

  19. Is it crazy that the words "heatwave" sound awesome. LOL! We are having a really nice winter for us but summer sounds fantastic. Love both of these dresses a lot. Congrats to the kids kicking off another school year! Summer vacation really does go by so quickly. I was going to ask, do you work fulltime at home?

    1. We have hybrid ways of working so we can work at home or the office - my team tends to only go into the office when it's really needed so I mostly work from home at the moment :)
