Striped Shift Dresses And Floral Crossbody Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two more simple outfits I wore for the Brisbane heatwave. I feel like I'm going on a lot about the weather in my posts, but it has been such a hot autumn so far here!

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Dress: All About Eve striped black tee dress 
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

I really like wearing this black striped shift dress with purple! Surprisingly, I haven't worn this lilac necklace with it before. It was a lovely colourful choice against the black and white stripes, and being a light wooden necklace it wasn't too heavy to wear in the heat either.

Just needed a little bag as I only had the school run, a couple errands, and working from home. This hand painted floral tote is so fun to wear with stripes, and although the purple flowers don't match the shades of lilac in the necklace I thought the two accessories worked well together.


Last worn: striped shift dress, lilac necklace, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted tote.

Other ways to wear: striped shift dress in winter, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted tote and maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Dress: Cotton On 'Tina' white striped tee dress in Lissy black / Gardenia
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

Just repeating the outfit above again, with a slightly different colour scheme, by adding a green necklace instead of a lilac one! Again the greens in the leaves on the bag and necklace don't match, but I did like the two together. I always prefer wearing this black and white striped dress with a colourful statement necklace like this too.

Simple shift dresses like this are so comfortable for the school run and work from home days, they are instant fuss-free outfits, so just like the outfit above, I really enjoyed wearing this. perfect for the hot day.


Last worn: Cotton On striped shift dress, green beaded necklace, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff floral tote (above).

Other ways to wear: Cotton On striped shift dress in winter, Rebecca Minkoff floral tote and pink midi dress.
