Graphic Tees, Skinny Jeans, Cardigans and Mimco Cocoon bag

Wearing graphic tees with jeans again, making them nice and cosy for winter with these cocoon cardigans, and my Mimco cocoon bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Tee: Kisschasy Hymns for the Nonbeliever 2025 tour band tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Having purchased this tee at the Kisschasy gig the night before, I was eager to wear it right away! Jeans are the easiest outfit choice with a band tee, and this coated denim pair was overdue another wear. With the black coated jeans, black stripes in the Adidas superstar, the black cocoon cardigan was a nice matchy-matchy choice. I continued the matching with the tassel earrings and the teal Mimco Cocoon bag. Surprisingly, it's the first time I've worn the earrings and bag together. It's such a good combination I'm sure I'll be repeating it again soon!

This was a nice comfortable jeans and tee outfit for a couple of errands and a bit of shopping with my sister and the boys.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, teal tassel earrings, Kisschasy band tee, coated denim jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco teal cocoon bag.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and printed jeans, Kisschasy band tee and skirt, coated denim jeans and jumper, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Mimco teal cocoon bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Tee: Canada bear graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This is actually the outfit I wore to the gig I bought the tee above at! I did swap out the grey cocoon cardigan for a warmer hoodie to go out to the show, but during the day this grey cardigan was all I needed to stay warm. Jeans and a tee has been a staple working from home outfit over winter, especially with a nice cosy knit like this. It was a warmer day and so I didn't need to add a scarf for the school run which was good as it would have hidden the detail on this Canada graphic tee.

With the blue and green in the graphic print I felt the teal Mimco cocoon bag was a nice choice, and it was something I could wear crossbody during the show while in the crowd. It's also a lot more spacious that it looks, both my sister and I bought tees at the merch stand and they fit in the bag nicely along with my essentials and left me hands-free for dancing during the songs. The Converse were an incredibly comfortable choice for being on my feet for a few hours too. We had such a great night!


Last worn:  grey cocoon cardigan, silver stud earrings, Canada graphic tee, black skinny jeans, black Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bag (above).

Other ways to wear: grey cocoon cardigan and skirt, Canada graphic tee and colourful jeans, black skinny jeans and stripes, black Converse and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bag and skirt.

Anko Denim Trench Coat With Tiered Maxi Dresses and Chloe Paddington Bag

Wearing some tiered maxi dresses with my Anko denim trench coat again, comfortable sneakers and my Chloe Paddington bag. Both the trench and Chloe Paddington bag have been getting a lot of wear lately!

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

I picked up this navy and white floral print tiered maxi dress in the Salty Crush sale recently and I love wearing it! The long sleeves are great for cooler weather, and it has pockets! It layered up nicely with the denim trench and Chloe Paddington bag. Both the trench and bag have been getting so much wear recently, they are trench is perfect for the cooler weather before it gets too cold in Brisbane and I replace it with thicker trench coats.

With all the blue from the denim and the navy print on the dress, I added a little extra colour with the purple resin floral statement earrings. I really liked them with this dress!


Last worn: denim trench, purple flower earrings, navy white maxi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Chloe Paddington bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: star print pashmina
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

Again, a tiered dress, this denim trench, some sneakers and my Chloe Paddington bag. While the dark chocolate brown went nicely with the blues in the above outfit, I really loved it against the orange of this Kmart tiered dress! As it was a cooler morning and I'd planned to wear this bag I knew this brown star print pashmina would be a great accessory. Although the brown stars are not a perfect match to the deep brown of the bag, I like the combination and I've worn a lot of brown bags with this scarf in the past!

The cosy pashmina was much needed as it was a cooler day than the one above, winter weather is definitely here in Brisbane.


Last worn: denim trench coat (above), gold statement earrings, star print pashmina, amber tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Paddington bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and jeans, star print pashmina and cardigan, amber tiered midi dress worn two ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Chloe Paddington bag and skirt.

Navy Printed Dresses With Blue Jackets and Purple Bags

Two navy and white printed tiered dresses for the office, with blue jackets and purple bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

It was a really foggy morning on this day so I was glad I had this long maxi skirt, thankfully the fog dissipated by the time I was in the office and it turned into a warm and sunny day, so this denim jacket was the perfect layer. it kept me cosy on the cooler commute over this long sleeved printed maxi dress, and also for the afternoon, as I left the office early to take Cooper to a vet's appointment in the evening.

I really like the navy and white print on this dress, but felt like adding a little more colour to it. The fuchsia statement earrings and the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag don't match each other at all, but I like both purple and pink with blue so I really liked this combination.

it's the first time I've shared this dress on the blog - i picked it up at the Salty Crush online warehouse sale and it was a bargain. I really liked wearing it. It has pockets and while it's a light viscose the long sleeves mean I'm hoping to wear it a few more times in winter.


Last worn: fuchsia statement earrings, denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag. First time I've posted the dress as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer

Earrings: Colette Tropadelic purple beaded tassel statement earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: Anko Kmart Navy white print tiered dress from my sister's wardrobe
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

I wore this back at the end of autumn, when bare legs was possible! It's a lot cooler now it's winter in Brisbane. I really liked this outfit though. The navy and white tiered printed dress is from my sister's wardrobe, and just like the outfit above I added more colour with pink and purple accessories. The plum purple mini MAB tote bag is not the exact same shade of purple as the earrings, but I like the two together, and I added a little pink as well with the pastel pink Converse. The bright blue blazer was all the light layer I needed for this outfit on the commute to and from work. It helped make the dress a little more formal for in the office too.

This was another day I left the office early, to pickup the kids and go to an evening high school tour. They provided lots of food which was great, saved me having to cook late in the evening!


Last worn: purple tassel earrings, beaded necklace, blue blazer, navy and white tiered dress, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple MAB.

Other ways to wear: blue blazer and skirt, navy and white tiered dress with another blazer, pink Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

Striped Tees, Jeans, Long Coats And Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

More autumn jeans outfits - I really do reach for my denim a lot in the cooler weather! This time around I'm wearing jeans and striped tees with my purple small Chloe Paraty bag, for some working from home days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was another busy day! With the school run, working from home, a vet visit for the dogs, and then sports in the evening. While it was warmer during the day when I was out with the dogs, this warm grey cocoon cardigan was much needed for the cooler morning and the very cold evening outdoors with the kids.

I felt like this Coca-Cola logo stripe tee was overdue another wear, and it's a nice simple outfit paired with the plain grey cardigan and black skinny jeans. I added the Adidas Superstar for more black and white, and then an extra bit of colour with the purple Chloe Paraty bag. The deep wine coloured purple shade is particularly suited for autumn, I've been reaching for it a lot lately.


Last worn: grey cocoon cardigan, Coca-Cola logo tee, black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: grey cocoon cardigan and skirt, Coca-Cola logo tee and shorts, black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Chloe Paraty bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Another striped tee and jeans outfit for working from home, again with the school run and a vet trip for Cooper. I like a casual jeans and tee outfit for working from home, as it's so comfortable. I did try to dress this up a little with these pretty purple acrylic slower earrings I picked up on a day out with my mum and sister lately. The store had a 3 for $10 sale and I couldn't resist! I felt these helped add a little interest and dressed up the tee enough for video calls.

I then went with the blue beaded necklace to match the earrings, and this denim trench coat that I absolutely adore. Despite it being quite popular when it was released last year, it went on sale in my local Kmart store for just $10 when spring arrived, and I had to snap it up. It's quite a soft denim and I like the relaxed oversized fit, will be perfect for layering with chunky knits when winter arrives. It was a nice way to do double denim with the grey jeans, and again I wore the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a touch of autumn colour.


Last worn: navy stripe tee, blue beaded necklace, Nobody Denim jeans, white leather Converse, purple Chloe Paraty bag (above). First time I've worn the trench as I bought it on sale last year in warmer weather, and first time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and cardigan, white leather Converse and shorts, purple Chloe Paraty bag and dress.

Green and Blue Shorts Outfits With Black Bags

On warmer autumn days I took advantage of the milder temperatures to wear shorts one more time. I wore some green tops with two pairs of blue shorts. Although both outfits are different shades of blue and green, I liked these combinations.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer weekend day than I expected for autumn, so a simple light tank and these turquoise linen shorts seemed like a good choice to beat the heat. I wasn't too sure about the darker olive green embroidered tank with the bright turquoise linen shorts, but I'm glad I gave this outfit a try, i really liked it! I had a couple of errands to run and a trip to the opshop - after sorting through the boys winter wardrobes I had a few things to donate that they had outgrown! I picked myself up a couple of new things I couldn't resist, and some new winter pieces for them along with a bunch of books.

The only downside to this day was that the pretty necklace I'd worn, this long freshwater pearl one with the tassel, got damaged. I frequently play with the tassel on this necklace and at the end of the day I realised it wasn't on the necklace any more. I'd run so many errands I'm not sure where I lost it, such a shame as I really like wearing this!


Last worn: embroidered tank, tassel necklace, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: embroidered tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts with pink, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day in the school holidays! My sister had arranged for the boys to be wildlife carers for the day, and I was able to take the day off so my mum, sister and I could relax and have some lunch while the boys spent time with the animals. We ended up at the outlets where we had a lot of fun shopping as we waited for the boys, and mum got me some new Converse as there was an extra sale on the already discounted pieces.

As I wasn't sure what we'd ned up doing while the kids were busy, I picked a practical shorts and tee outfit, with these comfortable Adidas superstar sneakers for all the driving around, and my big black Mimco button bag for water bottles and hats. With the crew neck on this green tee, I wore one of the necklaces I thrifted on the day above. I feel the rose gold necklace is such a nice statement with the block colour tee.

Last worn: heart stud earrings, green tee, navy stripe shorts, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco black button bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent opshop purchase.

Other ways to wear: green tee and jeans, navy stripe shorts and cardigan, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Mimco black button bag and skirt.

Orange Tiered Dresses and Yellow Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag

Two orange tiered dresses, both with sneakers and yellow accessories for recent office days. Even though both dresses are different shades of orange, the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag compliments both shades nicely.

What I wore:

Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I headed into the office after the school drop off, and then was back in the city again for a later afternoon appointment for my son after school. I picked this cute orange tiered linen dress to wear as it was a warm day, and I wanted to be comfortable for the driving around as well as the time in the office and at the appointment in the afternoon. The Nike sneakers were a good choice for all the driving as well.

I've worn yellow with this orange dress before, but this time I went all out with the yellow accessories! yellow tassel earrings and tassel necklace as well as the yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Last worn: tassel earrings, yellow tassel necklace, orange tiered linen dress, Nike sneakers, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.
 
Other ways to wear: orange tiered linen dress and denim jacket, Nike sneakers and shorts, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and red skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

Unlike the day above, this was a bit cooler and rainy so I opted for a longer dress to keep my legs covered. Just like in the first outfit, I went with a lot of yellow accessories, with this cute thrifted necklace with the yellow stones and beads matching the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. I wore my Adidas sneakers as a nice closed in option for the impending rain, but luckily I had managed to time my commute so that I missed all of the rain. I got into the office before it started and it stopped for a bit in the afternoon as I made my way home.

While it was a little cooler in the autumn morning I enjoyed getting another wear of this midi dress without a jacket - it will be jackets every day soon as it's getting cooler each morning.

Last worn: Mimco fleur stud earrings, yellow pendant necklace, orange tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: orange tiered midi dress and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and shorts.

Floral Print Dresses And Denim Tote Bag

Two more dress outfits with this upcycled Re-Up denim tote bag, that's been on frequent repeat lately. Last time I wore this bag with dresses it was with block colour linen tiered dresses, but in this post I'm sharing when I wore it with floral dresses.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag

Why I wore it:

This was another warm day at the end of summer, I wore this for another day off I had to continue to care for my son as he recovered from surgery. After the school run for my other son, we had a doctor's appointment, and then just relaxed at home again until it was time to pick my son up from school, and we had my parents over in the afternoon.

This light floral print dress is such a fun one to wear, it was a lucky $1 opshop find and can be worn with anything. This blue denim upcycled tote bag was a good pairing with it as I needed a big tote for our water bottles and some books to read to pass time in the doctor's waiting room. I wore the blue Converse for a little matchy-matchy, although they are different shades of blue I liked both blue accessories with the peachy-pink floral print in the dress.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, floral print babydoll dress, faux pearl bracelet stack, blue Converse, Re-UP upcycled denim tote bag.

Other ways to wear: floral print babydoll dress with purple, blue Converse and skirt, Re-UP upcycled denim tote bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies blue and natural wooden bead bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag

Why I wore it:

This was a return to school for my son after he got clearance post-surgery, and a returning to working from home for me. I wanted to be comfortable in the heat, it was still so hot near the end of summer! So I wore this cute green floral print dress that was overdue a wear. For something a little different I added the red dinosaur earrings. They are a nice match with the red in the floral print on the dress.

I've worn this dress with red a few times in the past, and you can see them all in my 30 ways to wear post with this green floral dress. While I just had the school run and then working from home, I didn't need to carry a lot with me. But I still wore this fun denim tote bag as it's so enjoyable to wear!


Last worn: dinosaur earrings, green floral shift dress, turquoise bracelet stack, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Re-UP upcycled denim tote bag (above).

Grey Tees and Black and White Printed Maxi Skirts

Two different grey tee outfits, both with black and white maxi skirts. The first outfit is a little more colourful than the second outfit as I added some pink. Pink always looks good with neutrals, in any shade.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart pink multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus pink and gold bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

When I put on this grey tee with the pink back panel I thought it would add a nice touch of colour to this black and white vertical striped maxi skirt. But then I decided the outfit needed a little more pink and started adding pink accessories. The pink Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and the pink bracelet stack and the pink beaded necklace don't match the bright pink panel on the tee at all, but I actually liked all the different shades with this. Neutrals like grey and black and white are a nice excuse to try add some differently coloured accessories, and it's nice there were all in the pink family.

Wore this for a quiet day, with the school run and working from home.

Last worn: grey tee with pink panel, pink beaded necklace, bracelet stack, vertical stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wear: grey tee with pink panel and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee with pink panel in third trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Another grey tee and black and white maxi skirt outfit. This grey tee is a bit darker, and with the black and white maxi skirt again I decided to add a little colour. This darker geometric beaded necklace seemed like a nice touch of colour with all the neutrals. I liked the longer sleeves on this tee to keep me warm in the colder aircon too.

Comfortable Converse sneakers were perfect with this and I liked the matchy-matchy with the black and white skirt. My son had surgery and an overnight stay in the hospital. I had an overnight bag packed, but the big Louis Vuitton Neverfull was perfect for a few things to entertain him and myself in the wait before surgery for him and the during surgery wait for me.

I wore this a couple weeks ago, he's at home now and healing well.


Last worn: grey tunic tee, geometric beaded necklace, black and white maxi skirt, black Converse, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

Other ways to wear: grey tunic tee and jeans, black and white maxi skirt with pink, black Converse and shorts, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

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.

Fuchsia Pink Kmart Dresses and Cobalt Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love Bag

For a couple of office days recently I wore these Kmart fuchsia pink dresses, with my bright cobalt blue Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love bag. Blue and pink look so good together.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted black and grey floral crystal statement necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

I love this linen dress! It was a lucky $1 opshop find a while ago and I've never met an occasion it wasn't perfect for. I've even layered it up for winter before. It's so good on a humid summer day like this was though, and it is a nice style for the office. With the high neckline I added a statement necklace. This pretty sparkly one, also an opshop find, hadn't been worn in a while so it was overdue a wear. I thought it was a nice match with the silver hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag and my silver bracelet stack.

Just wore comfortable Adidas sneakers as there was a bit of driving around to do as I had to drop the kids off at school before heading into the office.


Last worn: blue stud earrings, statement necklace, pink linen dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag.

Other ways to wear: pink linen dress and purple bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

Another office day, another bright pink Kmart dress! This one is an old favourite I'm forever surprised has yet to hit 30 wears. Like the fuchsia pink linen dress in the outfit above, it's one I feel I reach for a lot as it works for every occasion. I was extremely pleased to get into the office and see that my colleagues had the same idea - with another colleague visiting us for a meeting in the afternoon, we'd all managed to pick out maxi dresses to wear that day! I love unintentional matching!

The necklace I picked out as I'd been talking about it with a friend the day before and felt it was a good reason to get it out again! And just as in the outfit above, comfortable sneakers to support my knee. And again I wore the bright cobalt blue Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag as it really pops with fuchsia pink


Last worn: clover necklace, fuchsia pink midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag (above).

Other ways to wear: fuchsia pink midi dress and blazer, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag and denim jacket.
