Pink Kmart Dresses and Teal Mimco Bucket Bag

Trying a colour combination I haven't worn before, with my teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and some pink Kmart dresses. I ended up liking this pairing so much that I had to repeat it again another day!

What I wore:

Earrings: opal reindeer stud earrings
Necklace: silver twisted chain necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

On such a hot day I knew this linen dress would be perfect. It's a firm favourite of mine, especially in the warmer months in Brisbane. And while it sold out in store and I missed out on it, I snapped it up at the opshop for just $1, so I am always happy when people compliment it and I get to share the bargain find!

With the teal bag against the bright fuchsia pink dress I kept the rest of the accessories neutral and silver - although they still make a statement with the long twist chain necklace and the very fun silver glitter sneakers, which I haven't worn for a while but have been reaching for more lately. 

Nice easy outfit for the school run, a day in the office, and then attending an awards ceremony for the kids in the afternoon.


Last worn: opal earrings, silver twist chain necklace, fuchsia pink linen dress, glitter sneakers, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: fuchsia pink linen dress and blazer, glitter sneakers and shorts, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and navy dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Another office day, another reason to try the pink and teal combination. I think trying a new colour combination with accessories like a bag is a great idea, because most of the time in the office the bag just sits on my desk, so if I don't like it as much I don't have to wear it all day. But I really did like this unexpected combination.

I added a little more interest with the tortoise shell print tassel necklace, but kept the rest of my outfit simple just like in the outfit above, with another pair of sneakers. So comfortable for the commute, and running around between different meeting rooms on different floors of the office.

This Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress is also one of my favourites, although as a full price buy it's not quite the bargain the dress above was. I'm getting the cost per wear down on it though, always surprised I haven't hit 30 wears with it yet as I feel I reach for it a lot, it works for both office days and casual days.


Last worn: tassel necklace, fuchsia pink tiered dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag (above).

Other ways to wear: fuchsia pink tiered dress and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and skirt.
