Striped Tees, Kmart Linen Shorts and Aqua Mini MAC Bag

Both of these colourful Kmart linen shorts have come in so helpful this summer. I was happy to stumble across them in the opshop back in December, they have been getting a lot of wear since I thrifted them. This time around I'm just pairing them with basic striped tees, and a fun aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag that does with everything.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts 
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! Before dropping the kids off at school, the little one had an appointment in the city, and then it was off to school for him, and working from home for me before I picked them both up in the afternoon.

Wore my comfortable Sketchers sneakers for the driving in peak hour traffic! And I did like how they matched with the navy stripes on this tee. With the loose, slightly oversized style it didn't look quite right fully tucked into the shorts, I liked the little blouson effect here from not fully tucking it in all the way, although the tee did ride up a little through the day.

The magenta and gold marble necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the bright fuchsia of the shorts. And I really liked the pop of colour from the aqua mini MAC bag, even though it doesn't match anything in the outfit, turquoise and magenta always look great together!

Other ways to wear: navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, Kmart fuchsia linen shorts and printed cover up, Sketchers and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and floral dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

Stripes and shorts yet again! After a big day the day at the theme park, it was a very quiet weekend day, with not much to do but a trip to the playground and library.

Just as with the outfit above, I again went with the bright Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and bright linen shorts. These orange ones have a paper bag waist which I've hidden under the fabric of the striped tee - you can see the waist detail better this previous time I wore them. This tee is a little more fitted than the first one so it stayed in place all day which was good, and I liked how the very neutral grey and white stripes let the bag and shorts be the focus of the outfit.

Did add a little matchy-matchy with the navy tassel necklace and my navy Havaianas.
