What I wore:
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip
Why I wore it:
Wanted something comfortable to wear for a day of working from home, with an outing to the vets for the dogs, the school run, and sports in the evening. Maxi skirts are great for evening sports as the long length is a bit of a physical blocker for mozzies, although I do liberally apply bug spray too!
I really liked this grey tee with the ochre orange of the maxi skirt, I thought it was a really nice combination. It's not the first time I've worn grey with this orange skirt, but it is the first time I've worn this particular tee with the skirt. Definitely something I'll need to wear again.
I added the yellow mini 5-zip bag as I thought it was a fun pop of colour with the neutral grey tee, and I like it against the orange skirt as well.
Last worn: grey tee, bronze foil necklace, ochre maxi skirt, tan slides, yellow mini 5 zip bag.
Other ways to wear: grey tee and midi skirt, ochre maxi skirt and denim jacket, tan slides and jeans, yellow mini 5 zip bag and dress.
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print

Why I wore it:
Another tee and skirt outfit for working from home, with the school run and a playdate in the afternoon. This time around I went with an orange tee and a grey distressed denim skirt, and again I wore my little yellow Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-zip bag. Although it's the same basic formula I like how different this outfit looked.
I really like this distressed denim skirt, it was an opshop find. It goes so well with any tees, and I like the fun neon leopard print one with it. Just like in the first outfit, I find the yellow mini 5-zip bag is a nice pop of colour against the neutral grey. Although the orange in this outfit is much brighter than in the skirt, it still pairs so nicely as well.

Note: we are in the direct path of Cyclone Alfred, this is a pre-scheduled post. We had time to prepare our home the best we could, and I have a few posts scheduled as I don't know what the impact will have been as I type this.
Lovely outfits, Mica, and showing how the same colour combo can yet look very different . Like the idea of the long skirt for added muzzle protection, good tip.

The first outfit is so pretty. I really like the combo of burnt orange maxi and a grey top. These colours work so well together and balance each other out. Lovely statement necklace and a mini yellow bag as well. A maxi skirt is always a great choice. It's additional protection against a lot of things- the sun, the wind, the heat, the cold...and the bugs. I cannot dug summer without a bug spray for sure. Length helps but mosquitos always find a way.
ReplyDeleteFunny how that second skirt looks light blue to me even though I know it's grey. It is because we expect blue when we think of denim? I also have some grey denim pieces and sometimes our brain just translated it to blue somehow.
Anyway, this is also a very cute styling. I like the print on that orange and white top and the denim skirt is lovely.
P.S. All the best to you and take care. Let us know what happened with the weather and the cyclone Alfred. Stay safe!
I really love that pretty denim skirt, Mica! Such pretty looks!

Hope that Cyclone Alfred wasn't too bad and that you and your family are safe and doing well.I never thought of maxi skirts as a physical blocker for mosquitoes but you have a good point. I usually wear pants when I want avoid them but sometimes it's just too hot.
ReplyDeleteI love all the yellow you've been incorporating into your outfits, Mica! Such a sunny colour and it really suits you. <3
ReplyDeleteI've always loved your colour combinations, Mica:) And the RM bag is just too cute and goes well with both outfits!
ReplyDeleteHope you and the family are doing well:)
