Navy Printed Dresses With Blazers 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.

Maxi Skirts and Denim Jackets

Blue tees, denim jackets and maxi skirts for Brisbane winter days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in blu marine
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful with this blue tee, ochre orange maxi skirt, and more blue with the denim jacket and deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. I really liked the accessories with this outfit, the twist hoop earrings go so nicely with the mixed metal pendant necklace.

It was a little chilly for the school run so this denim jacket was a great layer over this maxi skirt and tee outfit. I wear blue with this maxi skirt often, I really like the colour combination! And it was nice and comfortable for working from home, and doing the school run. I picked up some of my sons friends from school the afternoon for a playdate too.


Last worn: denim jacket, silver earrings, blue tee, mixed metal necklace, ochre maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and grey tee, blue tee with red, ochre maxi skirt and knit, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and pencil skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: no label cream and brown floral print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Another maxi skirt, blue tee and denim jacket outfit for another day of working from home. As well as also doing the school run, I took the kids to sports in the evening. I did kind of wish I'd worn a scarf with this as well in the evening! The denim jacket is great and usually keeps me warm, but it was quite a chilly night.

This was perfect for during the day though, my oldest had a special excursion so I had to drop him off for that in the morning. He had such a good day and did really well in the presentation in the afternoon - I'm proud of him! I needed a bag for all my essentials plus my camera for taking photos at his presentation, so I went with this purple Chloe Paraty. Like the orange maxi skirt, I like purple and blue together so I often wear this with blue. It's the first time I've worn it with this brown floral print maxi skirt and I really liked the deep purple with the brown and cream. I'm definitely going to have to wear them together again.

I skipped a necklace and just wore a statement pair of earrings with this outfit as I felt the subtle sparkle on the tee was enough interest that I didn't need to add a necklace. It never shows up too well in photos though!


Last worn: gold leaf earrings, moto denim jacket, navy sparkle tee, brown floral print maxi skirt, white Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket and dress, navy sparkle tee and jeans, brown floral print maxi skirt and grey tee, white Converse and shorts, Chloe purple Paraty bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Red Maxi Dresses, Denim Jackets and Blue Bags

Red maxi dresses with denim jackets, sneakers and blue bags for some rainy autumn days in Brisbane recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Colette blue mixed shape faux crustal drop earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

Wore this out to church on Mother's Day. They had a photo booth setup so I could get a cute family pic, and so I picked this pretty printed dress to wear and added the new crystal statement earrings I'd picked up on sale a day earlier. The denim jacket was much needed to keep me warm and dry in this spaghetti strap maxi dress. Then with the blue statement earrings and the pale blue denim jacket, the blue beaded necklace seemed like an obvious matchy-matchy choice. The navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag isn't a match to any of the shades of blue in this outfit, but I felt it was a good neutral and continued the blue theme well.

I had a lovely Mother's day, and I enjoyed the things the kids made and bought me, I was very spoiled.


Last worn: denim jacket, blue beaded necklace, geometric print maxi dress, Nike sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford. First time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket, geometric print maxi dress and tote bag, Nike sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a much busier day, with a day out in the city with family, finally getting on the Brisbane wheel. I've never been on it before, I'm not really a fan of heights, but at least I can say I've done it now! It was another rainy day which explains my hair, and meant I needed to carry an umbrella around, although thankfully the rain dried up for a few hours in the afternoon so we could enjoy our time in the city. We even got a bit of shopping in!

Again I went with a denim jacket over this red dress to keep me warm, it was just right, especially when the sun came out later in the afternoon. I went with the faux pearl necklace to match the pearl earrings, and yet another blue bag, my periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty. It's a good bag for the essentials plus an extra like an umbrella, it fits a lot!

I wore sneakers again, my comfortable Sketchers, as we had a lot of walking planned. It was such a good day.


Last worn: denim jacket, pearl earrings, faux pearl necklace, red tiered midi dress, Sketchers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket, red tiered midi dress and leather jacket, Sketchers, Chloe Paraty bag with yellow.

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.

Pink and Grey Skirt Outfits With Thrifted Camis

Wearing some of my recent opshop finds with old favourites for these autumn skirt outfits. Both feature grey and pink, and an extra layer over the top to combat the autumn chill.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly kimono in dusty pink
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Tank: thrifted no label terrazzo print white tank
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

These hammered silver circle earrings have been getting a bit of wear since I thrifted them! Just like last time I wore them when I went matchy-matchy, I tried it again picking this silver circle necklace to wear. I really liked the earrings and necklace together! And another wearing of this terrazzo print tank that I thrifted at the same time, and recently wore to the office.

For this casual outfit I wore it with a distressed grey Nobody Denim skirt, pink Converse and then my pink cover up, to compliment the pastel pink in the terrazzo print. Although it's not an exact match I liked the extra shades of pink with this, and added the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag for a little more colour.

There was a bit of driving around on this day, although I was working from home, as we started the morning picking up a dog we were dogsitting, then I had to drop the kids off at vacation care before heading home for working from home, before collecting the kids in the afternoon. Busy day!

Last worn: pink cover up, silver circle earrings, silver circle necklace, terrazzo print tank, Nobody Denim skirt, pink Converse, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: pink cover up and dress, terrazzo print tank and blazer, Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, pink Converse and maxi skirt, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Cami: thrifted Cotton On pale olive cami (new purchase)
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual plus Cotton On silver beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

Finally got to wear this long grey cocoon cardigan I got from our annual pre-Christmas opshopping trip. I was so excited to get it, and it's been a while before it was finally cool enough to give it a wear. I love a cocoon style cardigan and I like the longer length on this one too. I wore it with the new Converse mum bought me recently. They had a sale on so I ended up with two new pairs! With the brown in the leopard print skirt the Converse were a nice match, and I took the opportunity to wear this newly thrifted pale olive cami for the first time. 

I felt with the grey cardigan keeping me cosy, and the neutral browns and olive of the top and skirt and shoes, this outfit needed a little more interest. The statement multi chain necklace wasn't enough so I added a pink bag, my Balenciaga sorbet city bag that was overdue another wear. I like how it brightened up this outfit. It was perfect for another day of working from home, with drop off and pickup for the kids at vacation care.


Last worn: silver circle earrings (above), necklace, leopard print skirt, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag. First time I've worn the cardigan as it was a Christmas present, Converse as they were a recent gift, and the olive cami as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: leopard print skirt and denim jacket, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag in second trimester.

Leopard Print Cocoon Cardigan With Black Denim

Two autumn outfits, both with black denim, colourful tops, and this cosy leopard print cocoon cardigan I recently thrifted.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Couldn't believe my luck when I saw this leopard print cardigan at my favourite opshop! At just $1 it was a good replacement for the leopard print cardi I had a couple of winters ago and decided wasn't perfect for me, so donated back. This one I really like. I'm a sucker for a cocoon shaped cardigan, and with the black and white leopard print it looks great with everything. Wore it for a cooler autumn morning, although I did end up taking the cardigan off by the time we got to church as the sun came out and the day warmed up nicely.

The rose gold necklace is an opshop find too, from the same trip I got this cute knit on. The black skinny jeans are an old opshop find and while the purple tee and pink Converse were purchased new, the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag was a preloved find as well.


Last worn: purple tee, rose gold necklace, black skinny jeans, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag. First time I've worn the pink Converse as they were a recent gift from mum, and first time I've worn the cardigan as it was a recent opshop buy.
 
Other ways to wear: purple tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and trench coat, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: Havaianas glitter Rosa Macaron (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another very similar outfit to the one above with this leopard print cardigan. This time around I picked a plain pink cami, and a black denim pencil skirt. The cardigan was a great option to cover up the spaghetti straps on the cami when on video calls as I worked from home. It was warmer later in the day when I finished working and we stopped by the library, but I kept the cardigan on as I wasn't too hot in this denim skirt. Didn't need to carry much, so went with my little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag which matched the cardigan, necklace and denim skirt nicely.

I liked the simplicity of this outfit and I see myself wearing this leopard print cocoon cardigan a lot more as the weather keeps cooling off here in Brisbane. Such a good opshop find.


Last worn: leopard print cocoon cardigan (above), black necklace, terracotta pink cami, black denim skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the Havaianas as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: terracotta pink cami and shorts, black denim skirt and stripes, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

Grey Tees With Green And Denim Skirts

Two grey tee and denim skirt outfits for the school run and WFH days, both featuring grey and green with colourful printed cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was an exciting day for my son with an excursion he'd been really looking forward to. Unfortunately his brother still had school, so I had a couple of drop offs to coordinate before working from home and then arranging different pick ups in the afternoon. They both had a good day though!

I wanted to be comfortable so I went with a tee and denim combination, as I seem to be defaulting to a lot for working from home days lately! As it was a little chilly in the autumn morning I added this green floral print duster. It brightens the grey tee and grey denim skirt combination nicely, as does the fun colourful tassel necklace. I also liked the extra physical sunblock it provided when I was outside in the afternoon.

The periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty is one I've worn with this green floral duster a lot, I like the blue and green together.

Last worn: green floral duster, tassel necklace, grey tee, Nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and shorts, grey tee and printed skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket:  thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Jeanswest light olive denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and doing the school run, another grey tee and denim skirt combination! As you can see in the first outfit, I have no issue pairing different shades of grey together, and I like wearing multiple different shades of blue in my outfits. I thought I'd try something a little different with this outfit and wear different shades of green. The light olive denim skirt is a very different shade from the bright almost neon green in the pam print cover up, but I think the colours looked good together with the blue in the print between them.

I kept the rest of my outfit neutral with another grey tee, and the little metallic silver mini MAC bag.


Last worn: palm print cover up, grey tee, feather necklace, olive denim skirt, Havaianas (above), metallic silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: palm print cover up and jeans, grey tee and maxi skirt, olive denim skirt with yellow, metallic silver mini MAC and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: silver mini MAC bag in third trimester.

Printed Dresses and Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

Two different white printed dress outfits, both with my wine purple Chloe Paraty bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Iris Maxi The Label flora print blue and white mini dress
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a slightly wet day, where we headed done the coast to spend time with my parents, and enjoyed pizza for dinner. Every time I wear this dress I manage to drop something on it and this occasion was no exception, luckily once again the food washed out! 

I really like how comfortable this blue and white printed mini dress is, and with the white Nike court Royale sneakers it was a practical choice for another rainy but still humid day. I couldn't decide on a necklace for this, so ended up wearing my statement silver filigree leaf earrings, they match my silver bracelet stack and make enough of an impact I felt I could skep a necklace.

While the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag is quite a dark purple, I like purple and blue together so the darker bag was a great accessory, and it holds a lot more things than you'd expect.


Last worn: silver leaf earrings, blue printed mini dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: blue printed mini dress for Christmas, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Again I wore my dark wine purple Chloe Paraty bag with a light summer dress. I like the purple and orange combination with the light peachy orange leaf print on this tiered sundress. I added the darker foil necklace to compliment the darker purple of the Chloe Paraty bag as well.

This dress is such a good choice for Brisbane's summer humidity! It was an easy instant outfit for a day with the school run and working from home.

Last worn: heart earrings, foil necklace, orange tiered sundress, studded sandals, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: orange tiered sundress by the pool, studded sandals and skirt, Chloe purple Paraty bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

Blue Dresses With Wine Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

Wearing two different blue long sleeved dresses with sandals, and my wine purple small Chloe Paraty bag. The deep purple just works with any shade of blue!

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus pink and gold bracelet stack on other arm
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day. We did have to vote in the morning, but afterwards the kids and I headed out with my mum and sister for lunch and a little start to Christmas shopping. It was really good to spend time together, and avoid the rain as we shopped inside.

The Chloe small party was a good bag to wear as it fit all my essentials plus a water bottle as it was quite a humid spring day in Brisbane. I've worn this dress and bag together before, although there isn't any purple in the autumn leaves print of the Jaase dress I feel the darker shade compliments the autumn colours nicely.


Last worn: blue stud earrings, For King & Country necklace, Jaase Celine dress, leopard print sandals, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: Jaase Celine dress and denim jacket, leopard print sandals and maxi skirt, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and maxi skirt.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: gold pendant chandelier earrings
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

I took the opportunity to wear another of my blue long sleeved dresses before the weather heats up too much in Brisbane. This denim dress is not something I'll get a lot of opportunity to wear over the warmer summer unfortunately.

Again I wore the same Chloe purple Paraty bag. I like the darker bag against the paler denim of this Target tiered dress. Even if I didn't need to carry more than the essentials with me, it's not an overly large bag so it's nice even on a day I only need to bring the basics with me.

It was grandparents day at church so they had a special Grandparent's picnic morning tea afterwards that the boys really enjoyed, it was so sweet to see them picking the perfect picnic basket!


Last worn: gold earrings, Target tiered denim dress, braided sandals, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Target tiered denim dress and leather jacket, braided sandals and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and denim skirt.
