Striped Tees and Denim Skirts

Hot days at the end of summer recently called for a simple striped tee and skirt combo! Both of these outfits are the same basic pieces but the different striped tees, denim colour, and accessories changed up these looks a bit.


What I wore:


Chloe periwinkle small Paraty | awayfromtheblue


Jacket
The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: thrifted Cotton On orange and white stripe The One crew neck tee
SkirtNobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty 


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a really fun day with the kids - we went to Sea World theme park for the day. It was such a hot and sticky day, it was no surprise when it started raining. I'd packed the kids waterproof jackets, although I'd hoped I wouldn't need an umbrella so foolishly didn't bring one. It was a warm enough day that we weren't cold getting wet in the rain, and we were able to go on a lot more rides when the rain started as it got quieter in the park.

The printed cover up was a fun bit of print mixing with the orange striped tee, I liked the matching colours in the print. While it was a nice physical sunblock in the morning, it wasn't the best to wear in the rain as it just got wet and stuck to me, ha! But I kept it on as it did dry quickly in between the rain showers.

Despite the rain we had a wonderful day, saw some shows, lots of cute animals, and of course went on so many rides. I was glad I'd worn my Sketchers sneakers. While they are fabric and were not the best in the rain, they were comfortable and supportive for my knee with all the walking around we did.


Last worn: printed cover up, orange stripe tee, stone pendant necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, Sketchers, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearprinted cover up and dress, orange stripe tee and button up skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and leopard print, Sketchers and shorts, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag and printed shorts.

What I wore:




Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This was a pretty quiet day with the school run and working from home. Surprisinly I hadn't worn this denim skirt and striped tee toeghet before, seems like such an obvious combo! I wasn't sure if it seemed a bit too monochromatic white after I beleached this skirt - but it felt just blue enough that there was a difference between the white stripes and the bleached denim so I gave it a wear. I felt that the purple Chloe paraty bag added a big enough pop of colour with those light colours in my outfit too, and the big red logo on the tee.

This was super comfortable for a day with the school run, and working from home while the kids were at school.

Last worn: striped Coca-Cola tee, denim mini skirt, Havaianas, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

  3. Weird to hear about rain in the summer. Where I live, it doesn't rain in the summer. (Well, sometimes, but it's very, very rare.)

    1. Summer is our rainy season! It does rain other times of year, but summer storms are such a staple, I can't imagine the summer heat without those storms to break it up!

  4. Sounds like you had a fun day at the Sea World theme park in spite of the rain. Your outfit that day was a fun one too. I love the subtle pops of colour added with the patterned cover up, the delicious periwinkle bag and navy sneakers. Loving the turquoise and coral pendant too! xxx

  5. I just love that first kimono. It is such a beautiful piece. Oh, I love theme parks. So glad you were able to have such a fun day with the kids, despite the weather. It is always really fun to see different shows, animals, and enjoy the rides. The second outfit is perfection by the way. That shirt and that skirt together is just...everything!

    the creation of beauty is art.

  6. I just love your floral kimono (as always, love all of yours!) and sorry you ended up getting wet that day. I have definitely been there when I forgot my umbrella! I am glad it dried quickly for you though and it sounds like a really fun day otherwise!

    Hope you have a great weekend, friend! :)

  8. Sea World sounds like a fun day! Though I absolutely hate being wet (rain or water rides), so you handled that much better than I would have, haha!

    1. It did make it easier to go on the water rides as we were already wet, haha!

  9. That print mixing in the first outfit deserves a standing ovation. I just love how that came together, and what a fun day too.
