Printed Dresses And Neon Pink Mini MAC Bag

Two simple printed dresses for hot summer days in Brisbane recently, with my little neon pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for a pop of colour.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Despite the mostly wet summer holidays, we did manage to get outdoors a few times, and this was one of those times. We ended up cutting the beach playdate short when the rain set in earlier than expected, but until we decided to call it a day the kids had been having a blast in the water.

The Kmart slides were a good choice for a beach day, and this pastel floral print dress is such a good cover up for my swimmers. I didn't end up getting in the water past my knees, but the kids had fun jumping around with their friends.

Because I had a big reusable tote with all our beach toys and a change of clothes and towels, I just wore my little Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC bag so I could have the essentials with me wherever I went.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, floral babydoll dress, tan slides, neon pink mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: floral babydoll dress and blazer, tan slides and blue dress, neon pink mini MAC and shorts.

What I wore:

Dress: All About Eve striped black tee dress 
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Another simple printed dress with a pop of colour from my neon pink Rebecca Minkoff mini mac bag again. I love pink bags with this black and white striped tee dress! With the bright bag and the stripes on the dress, I felt I didn't really need a necklace with this, and it was better in the heat not to add anything heavy. Did add this cute Mimco twisted gunmetal bracelet stack, to make it look like I put a little thought into my outfit though. 

It was really too hot for closed in shoes, but I had a couple of errands to run and I'd managed to aggravate my knee injury again a couple of days earlier, so comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers were good for driving around and supporting my knee.


Last worn: black and white striped shift dress, bracelet stack, Adidas Superstar sneakers, neon pink mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: black and white striped shift dress and scarf, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, neon pink mini MAC and jeans.

Bright Tiered Linen Dresses and Tote Bags

Wearing my two new linen dresses I got for Christmas with practical tote bags for some summer holidays days out with the kids recently. I really like this new mixed metal necklace I got - so much that I've worn it in both outfits!

What I wore:

Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange (Christmas present)
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

It had been a very wet and stormy summer holidays, but luckily after a few big storms earlier in the week, the weather cleared for a glorious day up north at the beach. It was still pretty hot and humid, and it was a relief when we got home to the aircon! As I had to carry snacks and water bottles for the kids I took this big Louis Vuitton damier Azur Neverfull tote bag. Perfect for the beach! The orange tiered Jeanswest linen dress was nice and cheerful, and a good swimwear cover up. I appreciated the linen in the heat as well!

These Kmart slides were nice and comfortable and practical for a beach day too.

After a dip in the sea to cool off we had lunch with family before heading home before another round of predicted storms that afternoon.


Last worn: tan slides, Louis Vuitton damier azur neverfull. First time I've worn the dress and the necklace as they were Christmas presents.

Other ways to wear: tan slides and printed dress, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings

Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya (Christmas present)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was another humid day, unfortunately a very rainy one! Our plan for the day lined up though as we made good use of the exhibition tickets my friend got us for Christmas to go see the Lego Jurassic World Brickman exhibition at the Queensland museum. Being the summer school holidays, and it having been a very wet week, it took us a while to get through the traffic and find a park! But thankfully once we eventually got there the kids had a blast. It was one of their favourite exhibitions at the museum we've ever seen.

Lots of Lego and interactive things made for some very happy kids. I wore the little dinosaur skeleton earrings as a nod to the event but they are a little hard to spot in the photo!

I didn't carry any snacks as you can't eat in the museum but I did take my large Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag to make sure I had plenty of space for all our water bottles. I really liked the neutral black against this mango tiered linen dress. The Adidas Superstar sneakers were a practical choice for the wet day as well.


Last worn: Kmart papaya tiered linen dress, dino earrings, mixed metal necklace (above), Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart papaya tiered linen dress and blue dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and shorts.

Leopard Print and Blue with Black Denim

Continuing on with wearing more of my new pieces I got for Christmas. My mum, sister and I always have an annual pre-Christmas shopping trip to do our gift shopping, and often pick up things for each other. This year we spent a morning at the opshops too and mum got me these cute leopard print pieces. Wore them with lots of blue and some black denim.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami (Christmas present)
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue (Christmas present)

Why I wore it:

Like most of the school holidays, this was a difficult day to dress for! We are having a particularly wet summer so I never know if it's going to be a cool and rainy day, or a hot and humid threatening rain but never raining day.

With this cute leopard print spaghetti strap cami I knew I needed some shoulder coverage though so chose this lovely navy tie dye cape to keep my shoulders covered from the sun as we ran a couple of errands. I wasn't sure if the tie dye and the leopard print would look good together so I wore a couple of other blue accessories to tie it all in. And kept the shorts neutral with these black denim shorts. I really liked this outfit and I'm glad I gave the tie dye and leopard a try!


Last worn: tie dye cape, navy necklace, black denim shorts, Havaianas. First time I've worn the leopard print cami and the Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag as they are Christmas presents.

Other ways to wear: tie dye cape and pink shorts, black denim shorts and florals.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart orange leopard print cover up (Christmas present)
Tee: teal Strange Planet 'wildly unprepared for the day' graphic tee (Christmas present)
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue (Christmas present)

Why I wore it:

This was another leopard and blue combination, with this cute orange leopard print cover up and my teal graphic tee. I've been a fan of Nathan Pyle's comics for a while, most of my Threadless tees I wore in my uni days were his designs. And the kids love the Strange Planet series he did, so we all ended up with a Strange Planet tee for Christmas! Mine says 'wildly unprepared for the day' which seems pretty accurate for me!

Wore it with my thrifted black denim skirt and Adidas Superstar sneakers. Added more blue to the teal with this Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag, which is great for fitting a book as well as my other essentials. The cover up was a last minute addition and I wasn't sure it worked, but like the outfit above, I wanted to give it a try. And I needed an extra layer over the tee and denim outfit as I took the kids to an airconditioned indoor play area for the morning.


Last worn: black denim skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers. First time I've worn the leopard print cover up and the teal graphic tee as they are Christmas presents.
 
Other ways to wear: black denim skirt and stripes, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress.

Tiered Dresses And Chloe Periwinkle Paraty

Simple summer outfits is the theme for my daily dressing and susequently my blog posts lately, with the heat and humidity we have been experiencing in Brisbane! Both these tiered dresses are perfect for hot days. And despite the very different colours of the dresses, they both work with the little periwinkle small Chloe Paraty bag so well.

What I wore:

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya (Christmas present)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

Wearing a few new pieces here! I got a lot of amazing things for Christmas. This mango coloured tiered dress was from my mum, it is so nice and light in both colour and because it's a linen blend. Beautiful for a day with a bunch of errands to run. 

The shoes were a practical choice for a bit of walking and driving around. I thrifted a pair of Adidas Superstar sneakers at the end of 2020. They were very comfortable and also pretty broken in, so I wasn't too surprised when they eventually fell apart as the stitching finally came undone. Thankfully my mum was happy to buy me a replacement pair. These are a lot whiter and brighter than my previous preloved pair, but still just as comfortable to wear. I know I'll get a lot of wear from both the dress and the shoes, lovely gifts! The old pair of Superstars I thrifted were in 94 posts on the blog so I got at least that many wears from them, probably nearly 100 when you consider I double up the outfits in my posts. Not bad for a $3 opshop find!

Paired these new pieces with some old favourites from my wardrobe. This suede navy tassel necklace goes with everything, and I really like the periwinkle Paraty bag and handmade strap against the yellow dress.


Last worn: navy tassel necklace, Adidas Superstar (previous pair), Chloe Paraty.

Other ways to wear: Adidas Superstar and jeans, Chloe Paraty and shorts.

Chloe Small Paraty Bag Review & What's In My Bag:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: opal reindeer stud earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, this is all old favourites from my wardrobe, with no new pieces except the little opal stud earrings my sister gave me. We took advantage of both having some time off for the Christmas holidays to visit a few local opshops, where my sister found me some amazing pressies for Christmas and scored an incredible bargain NWT dress find for herself. Afterwards we had lunch by the bay, with the kids playing in the water play area at the Whale Park. It was a really good day!

This Kmart tiered dress is a cotton dress, so not as light as the one above, but it does also have pockets which is very helpful, and it was still good to wear on a hot day. Although a very different colour, the periwinkle blue of the Chloe Paraty bag works well with the navy of this dress just as well as the yellow above.

Last worn: gold circle necklace, navy tiered dress, Havaianas, Chloe small Paraty bag (above). first time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent gift.

Other ways to wear: navy tiered dress and duster, Chloe small Paraty bag and denim skirt.

Leopard Print and Jeans Outfits With Chloe Bags

Two slightly cooler spring days in Brisbane meant getting another opportunity to get my jeans out again before summer temps set in. While both of these outfits have different colour schemes, they are both jeans and a tee with leopard print and Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Pink and blue always make me smile, although it does frustrate me a little how the lurex threads on this recently thrifted tee never show up in photos! I feel it's really noticeable in person. I liked the texture the tee had with the bright cheerful pink leopard print of the jeans. Had a regular weekday with working from home and the school run, jeans and a tee was ideal. I didn't really need all the extra space the Chloe Marcie gave but I liked the neutral tan with the colourful outfit.

I've been reorganising my wardrobe a bit lately with the clear outs I've been doing, so I realised when I got to my accessories that I hadn't worn this necklace in a while, it was definitely due another wear!


Last worn: navy tee, statement necklace, pink leopard print jeans, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tee and maxi skirt, pink leopard print jeans and denim jacket, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and dress.

---

What I wore:

Necklace:  thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus orange, yellow and red thread bracelets
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and the school run, with a couple of errands after picking the kids up from school. These grey skinny jeans are extremely comfortable, and I liked the neutral grey of the denim and the pale khaki of the Chloe Ethel bag with the neon orange leopard print on the tee.

I went a little matchy-matchy with the orange bracelets, although I added a slightly different colour with the yellow tassel necklace. I really liked this outfit! It was a slightly cooler day with all the rain, this outfit was perfect.


Last worn: leopard print tee, yellow tassel necklace, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print tee and skirt, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and shorts.

Navy Dresses And Metallic Accessories

Wearing two navy dresses with metallic accessories for two different spring days recently.

What I wore:

Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Polka Luka resin bangles in red and yellow and orange
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 

Why I wore it:

We spent the afternoon down the coast with my parents, so I dressed up this go-to floral print Jaase dress with the metallic gold envelope clutch and the rose gold sandals. Even though the shades of gold don't match I felt they were far enough apart that they worked. I hadn't worn these resin bracelets for a while so got them out again - I liked the yellow, red and orange as it was similar to the autumn leaves in the print of the dress.

Instead of adding a necklace, just went with some large but slightly hard to see earrings, these circular ones are a lovely mix of neutrals but it means they get a bit hidden in my hair!


Last worn: Jaase dress, round earrings, resin bracelets, gold sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch.
 
Other ways to wear: Jaase dress and denim jacket, gold sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and maxi dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted silver and turquoise multi strand necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

This was a much busier day than the day above! I changed my hours for working from home so I could start and finish up a little earlier - had to take Cooper to the vets and then I had to pick the kids up from school to take them to the dentist in the afternoon. Needed a nice simple outfit, so went with this Kmart navy tiered dress that I'm surprised hasn't been worn more recently, I love it!

Just like the outfit above, I added metallic accessories with the silver Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and the silver necklace. Comfortable sneakers with the Adidas Superstar for a bit of driving around, and the denim jacket because it was a little too cold a spring day to wear this short sleeve dress with bare arms and legs.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, silver necklace, navy tiered dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and skirt, navy tiered dress and duster, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, silver mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: silver mini MAC in third trimester.

Black Toppers, White Jeans, Teal Love Too Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

More jeans and sneakers outfits for the office for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Wearing each pair of white jeans with a black cover up, block-colour top and my little teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Cami: H&M mint v-neck cami
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

As it was a warmer spring day I didn't know if this cocoon cardigan would be too warm - but it was just perfect for the cooler commute to and from the office. Didn't need it over the mint cami at lunch time, but it was great for wearing in the airconed office.

I liked the white jeans with the mint cami and the black cardigan, and with the matchy-matchy navy of the necklace against the deep teal of the Love Too bag this was such an easy outfit to pull together for work.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, mint cami, navy necklace, white skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: cocoon cardigan and printed jeans, mint cami and skirt, white skinny jeans and sequins, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Vickie button back tank in enamel blue
Jeans: thrifted Atmos&Here white straight leg jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I didn't love this outfit as much as the one above, even though it follows a very similar outfit formula with the block colour top, white jeans, sneakers and black cover up. I loved the striped cover up with the black necklace against the turquoise tank, such a great piece of matchy-matchy.

I was quickly reminded of the reason this tank doesn't get a lot of wear though - it crinkles up so easily! By the end of the day at work I was feeling a bit of a flustered mess, and my outfit seemed to reflect that. I do love this top but hate how quickly wrinkled it gets! Especially with the straight leg jeans, this didn't feel as polished as the outfit above. Definitely won't be wearing these pieces together again.


Last worn: striped cardigan, black statement necklace, turquoise tank, white jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: striped cardigan for long haul flight, turquoise tank and pencil skirt, white jeans and knit, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: striped cardigan in second trimester.

Tiered Dresses, Denim Jacket and Red Saddle Bag

Getting my tiered dresses out again with denim jackets for spring. I wore my little Rebecca Minkoff red studded saddle bag with both outfits, despite the different colours of each dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Ana Luisa 'Olivia' tassel earrings in pink
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs suede flats in red
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a family night out at church, and dinner afterwards. It was a little chilly so the denim jacket was a definitely must over this cap sleeve maxi dress. With the red and pink in the floral print, I decided to go with both pink and red accessories. Its been far too long since I last wore these red suede ballet flats, I loved wearing them again. And I thought the pink tassel earrings, although not the same shade of pink as in the print, was a nice nod to both colours in the print. With the statement earrings I felt fine without adding a necklace to this as well.

With the red shoes the red bag was a nice matchy-matchy choice. Like the shoes, its felt like its been a while since I last wore this saddle bag, and it was overdue a wear. Perfect for a family night out.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, pink tassel earrings, floral print tiered maxi dress, red suede flats, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and leopard skirt, floral print tiered maxi dress worn two ways, red suede flats and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: red suede flats in second trimester

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket

Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Another tiered dress and denim jacket outfit for spring! I had the school run, working from home, and then I went to the kids award ceremony in the afternoon. This Kmart amber tiered midi dress was perfect for all those activities, it's so comfortable to wear, especially paired with sneakers like these Adidas Superstars.

Like the first outfit, I felt like wearing some pretty earrings, so went with these cute daisy ones. They aren't as statement making as the pink tassel ones I wore in the first outfit, so I felt like adding a necklace too. I've been embracing orange and red a lot so this coral necklace seemed like a good choice, especially when I went matchy-matchy with the little red saddle bag. I need to wear this rust dress with red accessories more often!


Last worn: denim jacket, daisy earrings, coral necklace, amber midi dress, Adidas Superstar, red saddle bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, amber midi dress worn 2 ways, Adidas Superstar and stripe dress, red saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Spring Skirts And Denim jackets With Neon Pink Bag

Two denim jackets and skirts outfits for spring, with neutral tees and some very bright accessories. My neon pink mini MAC really adds a pop to an outfit!

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace
Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Enjoying the warm weekend weather and running a couple of errands with the kids. We had a packed day with errands to run and a kid's birthday party in the afternoon. As it was a warmer day, I got this cute little skirt out that I picked up in the end of summer sales - was great to give it a wear again!

I kept it simple with the black tee and denim jacket, but then added a lot of fun colour with the chartreuse necklace and the neon pink mini MAC bag, as I didn't have to carry more than the essentials.


Last worn: denim jacket, black tee, statement necklace, wrap bracelet, animal print skirt, Converse, neon pink mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, black tee and shorts, animal print skirt and pink tee, Converse and dress, neon pink mini MAC worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings (new purchase, charity fundraiser)
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

I thrifted this skirt last summer and feel I didn't get to give it a lot of wear before the weather cooled off. This is only it's forth wear and I'm not sure why, I love the button detail and the paperbag waist. I kept it simple (like all the other times I've worn this skirt) with a neutral tee - this grey tunic is a good basic. I added the white denim jacket as it was a little chilly on the school run that morning, although I didn't need it in the afternoon when we headed to the park after school. With the neutral white Adidas Superstar sneakers and the neutral necklace, the Rebecca Minkoff neon mini MAC bag was again a fun pop of pink. I wasn't sure about the rust and neon pink together but I'm glad I gave it a go as I really liked it.

As all I had to do was the school run, working from home, and then a couple errands and a park playdate in the afternoon, the little mini MAC was all I needed to carry.


Last worn: white denim jacket, grey tunic tee, statement necklace, linen skirt, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC (above). First time I've shared the earrings on the blog as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and dress, grey tunic tee and shorts, linen skirt and white tee, Adidas Superstar and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC and monochrome outfit.
