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:

All About Eve striped black tee dress with lilac necklace and hand painted floral tote bag print mix outfit | awayfromblue

black and white striped dress with Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila | awayfromtheblue


Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
DressAll About Eve striped black tee dress 
Shoesslim 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 wearstriped shift dress in winter, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted tote and maxi skirt.

NecklaceStarfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
DressCotton On 'Tina' white striped tee dress in Lissy black / Gardenia
Shoesslim 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).

  10. Of course you'd be talking about the heat. The weather largely determines what we wear. This winter has been so cold and wet for us, and I've gotten a lot of wear out of some sweaters that I generally barely wear. That dress looks like it would be perfect for the heat.

  11. I always go on about the weather in my posts too, although mostly it's about it being too cold or too wet :-)
    Both of your striped tee dresses look a treat worn with your floral "Sheila" bag! xxx
