Two Ways To Layer A Colourful Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress For Winter

I bought this awesome, colourful geometric print maxi dress at the opshop for just $1. A spaghetti strap maxi dress isn't something I expect to get a lot of wear from in winter, but since spring is around the corner I know this will get worn more often. And before the weather heats up here in Brisbane, I was able to layer it up a little for the last month of winter, on some warmer days.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

We had a fun day out at Australia Zoo with the family, so I needed some comfortable sneakers for all the driving and walking. I also needed to be able to wear my knee brace to support my knee so that ruled out jeans. Decided it was the perfect time to give this maxi dress a wear! Since it was a little chilly, especially in the morning, I added this soft knit over the top. It's a bit oversized so I had to knot it to get it to sit nicely, but I loved the cobalt against the mix of colours in the print of the dress.

As always, wore my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. It is perfect for the essentials plus some snacks and water bottles that you need for a day out at the zoo with the kids.

 
Last worn: cobalt knit, earrings, beaded necklace, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: cobalt knit and shorts, Sketchers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag with black and white.

Perfect for pregnancy: cobalt knit in first trimester,

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Top: Kmart teal tank (new purchase)
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

The next opportunity I took to wear this dress was for a school run and working from home day, with a quick errand after picking up the kids in the afternoon. Again I layered over the top of this dress, with this teal tank this time, and the denim moto jacket for an extra layer of warmth as it was a chilly morning. It warmed up nicely though and when I went back to school to pick up the kids, the denim jacket was no longer needed.

With the mix of colours in the geometric print of this maxi dress, I felt the teal tank complimented all the different shades well. I thought that the blue and green in the chunky necklace tied in the colours nicely, especially when worn with the denim jacket. I really liked this outfit!


Last worn: denim jacket, chunky necklace, geometric print maxi dress (above), Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above). First time I've worn the tank as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and jeans, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and leopard print.

Perfect for pregnancy: black Converse in second trimester.
