Blue and Pink Floral Dresses With Purple Chloe Paraty Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing one of my favourite colour trios of blue, pink and purple together for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Braving the current Brisbane heatwave in some pretty floral print dresses, nice and light for the hot and humid days, and accessorising with the purple Chloe Paraty bag I got for Christmas.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

First day of school! After what seemed like a very short summer break, it was back to school for the kids. I was a bit emotional, as they were staring their new grades, but they were just so happy to be back with all their friends and catch up with those we hadn't had the chance to have playdates with over the holidays.

After school drop off, I had a quick errand to run before working from home, and then back to pick up the kids in the afternoon before taking them out for a little treat for completing the first day of school for the year.

I really like pink and purple together, so was eager to try this pretty purple Paraty bag with this black dress, with the pink and blue floral print. I really liked the combination, and I appreciated this light dress on such a hot and humid day. It felt like it was constantly going to storm all day, but the rain didn't break until later that evening.


Last worn: resin earrings, silver Tiffany necklace, Kmart wisteria print dress, studded sandals, Chloe small purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart wisteria print dress and floral bag, studded sandals and maxi skirt, Chloe small purple Paraty bag with shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

Chloe Paraty Christmas Reveal

---

What I wore:

Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was another hot day - much too hot to wear anything more than a simple dress for the school run, and spend the day working from home and enjoying the aircon while doing so! We had planned to complete a couple of errands after I picked the kids up from school, but we decided to skip it and complete them the next day, so we could just relax in the cool air at home.

As this is a spaghetti strap sundress I usually try cover up my shoulders when I wear this dress, to add some physical sunblock. But with the heat and humidity - and us avoiding spending too much time outside, I was not going to tolerate any layering. Except the little bit of necklace layering I tried. Thank goodness for light tiered dresses like this in heatwaves, instant outfit!


Last worn: Kmart tiered sundress, coin necklace, stone pendant necklace, Havaianas, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Kmart tiered sundress and denim jacket, Chloe purple Paraty bag and shorts and tee.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Blue, pink, and purple are a wonderful trio when worn together. If you're unsure about wearing three colours in one outfit, use an accessory to give you that third colour, as I have here with the purple Chloe Paraty bag.

Kmart Linen Shorts, Tees, and Chloe Small Paraty Bags

Making the most of my recently thrifted pieces again! Pairing these thrifted linen shorts with thrifted cover ups, textured tees, and some new pieces I got for Christmas. 

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts (new purchase)
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual (and a hair tie on my other wrist)
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

This was a nice relaxing day on the coast. After a slow start to the day we headed to the creek for a little swim. Cooper wasn't interested in getting his paws wet so I ended up just sitting in the shade with him relaxing, before lunch with my sister and then heading home.

While it was a hot day, this embroidered cover up and the linen shorts were great for the heat. Tucking in the tee, which was also an opshop find, worked well to show off the fun paperbag waist on the shorts. 

Took my little periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag, with this beautiful handmade bag strap my friend made me for Christmas. I wasn't sure if the textured strap, space dye tee, textured necklace and embroidered cover up were too much together, but I think taken as a whole outfit it worked.


Last worn: embroidered cover up, space dye tee, wooden necklace, Havaianas, Chloe periwinkle Paraty. First time I've worn the shorts as they were a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: embroidered cover up and denim shorts, space dye tee and green jeans, Chloe periwinkle Paraty and floral dress.

What Fits Inside Chloe Small Paraty Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Kmart Dnight navy textured v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple (Christmas gift)

Why I wore it:

Another day in the sun, and another pair of Kmart linen shorts! I love fuchsia pink with navy so it seemed like such an obvious pairing to wear this new Kmart navy textured tee mum got me for Christmas with the bright pink shorts. I added the digital print cover up for a little extra sun protection in the playground, and because the magenta in the print works so well with the shorts. The navy Sketchers were a gift too and were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the tee.

Wasn't sure what colour bag to wear with this but realised my new purple small Chloe Paraty bag would go nicely with the pink and blue. It was good to give it its first wearing as well. I'd been watching this for months and talking my friends ear off about it before deciding I wanted it for Christmas. Luckily hubby agreed!

We had a nice morning at the park and some decluttering and reorganising at home in the afternoon before I headed down the coast for dinner with my sister.


Last worn: digital print cover up, marble necklace, fuchsia linen shorts, navy Sketchers. First time I've worn the navy textured tee and the purple Paraty bag as they were Christmas presents.

Other ways to wear: digital print cover up over a dress, fuchsia linen shorts with yellow, navy Sketchers and grey tee.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Linen shorts are great for hot days in the sun. Don't forget to add some physical sunblock over your sunscreen too with a light cover up like I have on both of these outfits.

Chloe Marcie and Dresses For Christmas Events

Today I'm sharing two pretty Kmart dresses I wore for two Christmas events recently, both outfits accessorised with my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold

Dress: Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and gold leaf bangle
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was really fun - our vet was doing a fundraiser and Santa paws photos, so we got all dressed up for our annual family photo. We did not bring the kid's insect menagerie along, Cooper is a handful enough! It was really fun and we got so many great photos.

We had to stop at the library on our way home and I felt a little overdressed for that, with the floral maxi dress and the big statement earrings. But it was perfect for our Christmas photos!

With the gold beads in the earrings and the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, I added this little gold leaf bangle to be even more matchy-matchy too.


Last worn: beaded statement earrings, floral maxi dress, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: floral maxi dress for Christmas day, studded sandals worn 30 ways, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

---

My Chloe Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a quiet morning at home, followed by a very fun afternoon at Carols by Candlelight. There were rides, food trucks, craft stations...the kids had a blast, and I enjoyed the carol service in the evening while the kids enjoyed swinging around the little electric candles they were given. There was even a fireworks show at the end.

It was a very humid day so I didn't need an extra layer, but thought this maxi dress was a good choice as it covered my legs to avoid the mozzies without me overheating. With the coral red of this dress, the green beaded necklace seemed like a fun nod to Christmas too! I had the big Chloe Marcie bag for all our water bottles and some snacks - although there was plenty of food there! I'd taken a blanket for laying on the grass in the evening, but didn't have to carry that around as I put it on the grass to save our spot while we walked around all the attractions.


Last worn: green beaded necklace, coral tiered midi dress, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: coral tiered midi dress and scarf, studded sandals and pencil skirt, Chloe Marcie bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in third trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Red and green is a classic Christmas combo. You can take a red dress you have and adda  green necklace to it like I have in the second outfit, or pick a dress like the teal floral one that has some red and green in the print.

Whatever you wear, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Green and White Outfits With Floral Dusters and Chloe Paraty Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two green and white outfits with floral dusters and tees, and my little periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty bag. Surprisingly, despite both of these outfits being worn in summer, I'm wearing jeans! We had an unexpected cold snap at the start of summer in Brisbane.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Was surprised to have to be wearing jeans in summer, but the weather on this day definitely called for it! These green jeans hadn't been worn for a while so I got them out again. Wore them with the basic white v-neck tee as the navy tropical floral print duster added all the extra colour and print in my outfit. I went a little matchy-matchy with the gold necklace and the gold hardware on the Chloe Paraty bag too.

The blue Converse sneakers were a third shade of blue for this outfit, but despite them not matching the duster or the Paraty bag, I still liked them with this outfit. Good choice for a little running around on this day. After the school drop off and working from home we had a quick errand to run after I picked the kids up from school.


Last worn: floral duster, white tee, gold circle necklace, green skinny jeans, blue Converse, Chloe small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: floral duster and dress, white tee and printed jeans, green skinny jeans worn 30 ways, blue Converse and midi skirt, Chloe small Paraty bag and printed dress.

What's In My Bag: Chloe Small Paraty

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Polka Luka resin bangles in red and teal and orange
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a very busy Monday! We had some Christmas presents the kids had to hand out to their classmates and teachers at school drop off, and I had a quick errand to run before working from home, picking up the kids from school, and another errand in the afternoon.

Luckily it was more like normal summer temperatures, so I was back in shorts and tee, and I added this green floral print duster for a little more colour. Again as we had a little bit of running around to do I went with comfortable Converse, black ones this time. I added these lovely resin bracelets to my regular bracelet stack too for a touch more colour and because I though the red was a nice nod to Christmas when worn with the green duster.


Last worn: green floral duster, double strand necklace, resin bangles, navy cropped tee, white Bermuda shorts, black Converse, Chloe small Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: green floral duster with black and grey, navy cropped tee over a dress, white Bermuda shorts with red, black Converse and striped dress, Chloe small Paraty bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and green should definitely be seen! Both of these outfits illustrate that different shades of blue and green look great together!

Kmart Printed Midi Dresses With Sneakers and Chloe Marcie Bag

Spring kid's birthday parties in the park meant sticking to an easy outfit formula. Floral print midi dresses with sneakers for comfort, my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag for water bottles and some statement earrings to feel a little dressed up!

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Unsure what kind of weather the day had in store and having to ferry the kids between two different birthday parties in one day meant being prepared for anything! I went with this long sleeved black floral print midi dress as it's nice and light and provided good sun coverage. I appreciated the long sleeves when it started to get cooler in the afternoon too, just before the rain hit. Thankfully the rain waited until after the party was over!

Had a little bit of driving to do so these Adidas Stan Smith were nice comfortable sneakers - and I wasn't the only mum there rocking a dress and sneaker combo. I thought these pink statement earrings were a nice match with the pink florals in the dress, and a good way to make it look like I put in a little effort for the parties!

The Chloe Marcie shoulder bag is perfect for all the essentials plus the kids water bottles - which are of course must-haves at park parties!


Last worn: Kmart floral print black midi dress, pink statement earrings, Tiffany necklace, Stan Smith sneakers, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart floral print black midi dress with tan belt, Stan Smith sneakers and jeans, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and blazer.

Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag Review

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Again I went with matchy-matchy earrings! these teal tassel ones go so nicely with the teal background of this floral print midi dress. I considered adding a denim jacket to this but decided not to as it was quite a humid day. At the birthday party in the afternoon though, again just like the weekend before where I wore the dress above, it got quite cloudy and windy. I really wished I'd brought a jacket along!

I felt that I hadn't worn these Kmart chunky sneakers in while so they were overdue a wear - and a nice match for the white floral print on the midi dress. The little brown tab on the back is not quite a match for the Chloe Marcie bag in nut brown, but again I went with this bag because I needed something to store all our water bottles.


Last worn: teal floral midi dress, teal tassel earrings, Tiffany necklace, chunky sneakers, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: teal floral midi dress and ankle boots, chunky sneakers and shorts, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and maxi skirt.

How You Can Wear It

Floral dresses are an obvious choice for spring, and long sleeved ones are perfect for those days when the weather isn't as warm as you'd like! Sneakers make a cute combination with a midi dress too.

Pink and Navy Outfits With Small Chloe Paraty Bag

This has been the spring of pink and blue! Sharing another two more pink and blue outfits with my beautiful small Chloe Paraty bag in periwinkle being the perfect accessory for both outfits, despite the different shades in my clothes.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: Jeanswest 'Scarlette' printed shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day in the school holidays! We had a bunch of errands to run in the morning, and with the sudden warmth spring bought, Cooper had been very badly due for a trim. We dropped him at the groomers before crossing a few more things off the to-do list and buying some presents for upcoming birthday parties. Then we had to head home while I worked from home and the kids entertained themselves for a few hours - luckily they were quiet for most of my meetings that day.

This pink tee has been on frequent repeat lately. I haven't hit 30 wears with it yet but it might be my most worn tee this year, particularly in recent months. I've worn it with printed culotte shorts recently, but it's the first time I've paired it with these navy printed ones that I have hit 30 wears with. Because it was such a hot day, simple shorts, tee and Havaianas was all I needed, especially with all the running around we had to do.

Tried being a little matchy-matchy with the gold hardware on my small Chloe Paraty bag with the gold necklace and gold and black bracelet stack as well.


Last worn: pink tee, gold marble necklace, navy printed culotte shorts, Havaianas, Chloe small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and maxi skirt, navy printed culotte shorts worn 30 ways, Chloe small Paraty bag and dress.

Chloe Small Paraty Bag In Periwinkle: Review and What's In my Bag

---

What I wore:

Tee: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I often reach for these pink leopard print jeans in spring! There's something so spring-like about the bright pink leopard print, and they are incredibly fun jeans to wear. Blue has to be the colour I wear with them most often, so I thought I'd mix it up a little with this navy graphic tee that has a purple print on it so it was a little different from all the other times I've paired a navy top with these jeans! It was a quiet Sunday, we didn't have too much on, just an appointment for my son, so jeans and a tee was nice and comfortable. And the Chloe Paraty bag fits more than it looks like - had a little library book in there to read while waiting for our appointment.

Again I stuck with my Havaianas - the warm spring weather is making me want to take a break from my sneakers and Converse!

Last worn: graphic tee, pink leopard print jeans, Havaianas (above), periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: graphic tee and blazer, pink leopard print jeans and denim jacket, periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: graphic tee in third trimester, pink leopard print jeans and hidden bump.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Pink and blue is a winning combination! You can easily pair a printed piece in your outfit with a plain tee like I have in the first outfit. Or you can try something a little different and go for a muted graphic print tee with another print in your outfit like I have with the leopard print jeans.

Leather Jackets and Maxi Skirts

Just like in Monday's post, I took advantage of the cooler temperatures to wear another winter piece, my leather jackets, before it's too far into spring to enjoy them! Wearing both of my black leather jackets with some comfortable maxi skirts, and Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Wore this for Father's day and I absolutely loved this outfit! Not too impressed with the photos, this slouchy tee always looks so rumpled in the pics, but it is super soft and the deep purple/burgundy shade was nice with the black leather jacket and the black maxi skirt. I thought pairing the black leather jacket with the black skirt would bring out the print on the jacket a little more, but it's still as subtle as ever!

This was the perfect outfit for a bit of an overcast day. Luckily our plans for the day weren't derailed by the rain - I took hubby and the kids to Australia's biggest retro arcade for Father's Day. It was a surprise for the kids too as I knew if I'd told them where we were going they would have been too excited to not tell their Dad! 😂 All the machines were free play, so we just had to pay an entry fee and then unlimited games. We ended up spending so much time there, definitely good value for money!

Took my Chloe Marcie bag so I could have some snacks for the kids and our water bottles, it's such a big bag for that.

Last worn: printed leather jacket, spiral earrings, burgundy tee, gold charm necklace, black maxi skirt, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers.

Other ways to wear: black printed leather jacket worn 30 ways, burgundy tee over a dress, black maxi skirt and denim jacket, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and pink dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: burgundy tee in third trimester.

Wardrobe Tour & Handbag Storage:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This day was a bit colder and a lot less fun than the weekend at the arcade above! Wore a plain black leather jacket this time, with the grey pinstripe maxi skirt that I felt hadn't been worn in a while and was due another wear. I like pink and grey together so this pink tee was an obvious choice, although I did cover most of it up with the blue Alexander McQueen scarf! I thought the scarf was a nice compliment with the periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag though, even if the shades don't match exactly.

After the school drop off I had an appointment in the morning, working from home, then picking the kids up and taking them to an appointment for my son in the afternoon. Busy day!

Last worn: black leather jacket, pastel blue skull scarf, pink tee, grey pinstripe maxi skirt, Converse, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and floral dress, pastel blue skull scarf and stripes, pink tee and denim skirt, grey pinstripe maxi skirt for Christmas, Converse and jeans, Chloe Paraty bag and teal dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: pastel blue skull scarf at 40 weeks, Converse in second trimester.

 

---

How You Can Wear It:

Maxi skirts are great for cooler days as they keep your legs covered up. They are so easy to layer too, with leggings underneath on really cold winter days, and a leather jacket and maybe even a scarf on top to stay cosy.

Waterfall Cardigans, Tanks and Dark Jeans With Chloe Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Spring officially arrived on the 1st September in Brisbane, but we still had a couple of cooler days at the start of September which gave me another chance to wear these cosy waterfall cardigans again, with some darker denim jeans and Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Tank: Asos satin singlet in pink
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a very relaxed day! It was a pupil free day, so a morning free from the school run! I planned to work from home and take the kids to the library afterwards - this jeans and tank outfit was perfect, the cosy navy waterfall cardigan is so comfortable and kept me warm. My mum and sister looked after the kids when I worked and treated us to lunch which was nice, as well as taking the boys out for a few adventures.

I felt this satin pink tank was overdue another wear and I really do like it with navy! Added even more blue with the wooden bead necklace and periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag.

These charcoal Nobody Denim jeans go with everything of course, and I picked the New Balance sneakers for their support while driving around.

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue tri colour wooden necklace, pink satin tank, Nobody Denim jeans, New Balance sneakers, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, pink satin tank and pencil skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink satin tank and hidden baby bump.

Chloe Handbag Collection: Past and Present

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Top: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This is exactly the same cardigan as the one above, just in red, because I couldn't decide between the two colours when I bought them a few years back. I am glad I have both in my wardrobe, even though this red one hasn't been worn as much as the navy one above, that I've hit 30 wears with. I do love wearing this red cardigan with neutrals though to let it really shine! The brown printed tank was a great pairing with it, and the faded black jeans, a $1 opshop find, go with everything.

Again I went with sneakers, my comfortable Adidas Superstar ones, for the school run, helping in my son's classroom and a few errands after school. We had to go buy a few little special snacks for the upcoming playdate we had on the weekend.

Although the rose gold necklace is a different tone from the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, I thought the two accessories worked well together, and I really liked the filigree heart with the brown print on the tank.

Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, rose gold heart necklace, Sass and Bide printed tank, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, Sass and Bide printed tank and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and printed dress.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A cosy block colour cardigan is the perfect layer for those in-between seasons. A neutral like navy lets you pair it with brighter outfits, or you can go bolder with a red knit and stick to neutral shades with the rest of your outfit like I have in these two outfits.
