Orange Tiered Dresses, Denim Jackets and Chloe Periwinkle Paraty Bag

A surprising burst of summer-like weather at the end of winter in Brisbane had me reaching for dresses and lighter jackets. Both these orange tiered dresses were perfect for the surprisingly hot winter days I wore them on.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was the first day of summer-like heat in winter, so I knew a linen dress would be a good choice but thought I might be a little cold without the denim jacket. It ended up warming up so much that I had the denim jacket off for most of the day! The linen dress was a good choice.

I liked the bright orange background of the dress as the blue toned beaded necklace looked really good with it, it's one of the necklaces I thrifted recently. And with the pale blue denim moto jacket the Chloe Paraty seemed like a nice choice. Even though the shades of blue are different they are close enough together that I really like the pairing. And this Chloe Paraty bag is just the right size for the essentials plus my latest library book that I took along to sit on the side lines of my son's sport sessions. Thankfully that was in the morning, before the day heated up too much.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, orange linen dress, leather Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag. First time I've worn this necklace as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and printed skirt, orange linen dress and tote bag, leather Converse and striped dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I've been wearing a lot of orange and blue again lately, and as I liked it in the first outfit I wore the combination again a few days later! This tiered midi dress is a firm favourite, especially with blue! The periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty and the darker wash denim jacket both look really good with this shade of orange.

I added this recently thrifted necklace too, I like the little mint beads against the orange dress more than I thought I would. Nice and simple outfit, where I again ended up discarding the denim jacket later in the day as it was so warm! I was working from home and then taking Coops to a vet appointment over lunchtime.
