What I wore:
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies blue and natural wooden bead bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag
Why I wore it:
Despite it being officially autumn in Queensland, and it being the end of summer when I wore this, it was a hot and humid day so I felt like I needed a nice light linen dress. There was the school drop off and a quick errand to run before it was back home to look after my son who was recovering from surgery.
This dress is such a nice bright mango yellow shade, and I love the way the blue wash of the jeans turned tote bag works with it. I added the blue beaded necklace to match the bag, and then the turquoise beaded bracelet stack was another touch of blue against the yellow dress too.

Why I wore it:
Another hot summer day, so another Kmart linen dress! I wore sneakers with this brown tiered linen dress as we had a bit of driving to do! We had to pick up a birthday present and then we went to a birthday party in the afternoon. My son had so much fun at the party, it was worth the confusion of getting lost on the way there, as I hadn't been to the venue before and the GPS was not as helpful as it could have been with the directions, ha!
While the venue was air conditioned I appreciated this light dress very much for the rest of the day. I had to bring water bottles for my son and I, so again I wore this upcycled denim tote bag. Just like in the first outfit with the brighter dress I added wooden turquoise accessories, this multi strand statement beaded necklace was a great pop of colour against the neutral brown linen dress, even if it doesn't match the blue denim wash of the tote bag.

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.
Sending you plenty of good vibes and hope that Cyclone Alfred misses you entirely! <3
ReplyDeleteLove these loose and comfy dresses, and that purse is amazing! I love that it's upcycled jeans - how fun!

Those dresses look perfect for hot days! I love the color of that orange one!
ReplyDeleteThat tiered dress from Kmart is so beautiful. I love that mango colour! Definitely a nice dress for a warm summer day. The pops of blue and turquoise are just perfection. Love the sneakers with linen dress in the second look. That is such a great combination! I am crossing my fingers that Cyclone Alfred missed you and your home is safe <3
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.

ReplyDeleteI'm loving both of these easy-going tiered dresses and upcycled denim tote bag is fabulous! xxx
Hello, Mica!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure to be able to come back to your blog, I've heard on the news that the impact of the cyclone was horrible, I hope you and your family are okay! As for the looks, I think that denim bag is very original! Of course, as I love vibrant colours, I liked your first dress the most! Kisses and hugs, I hope the worst is over!
