Kmart Linen Shorts, Navy Tees and Printed Cover Ups

Pulled out my linen shorts for spring weekend days. Both these outfits feature the Kmart linen blend shorts I was lucky enough to stumble across in the opshop in two different colours, as well as different shades of blue and pink.


What I wore:






JacketThe Kindness Collective 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' printed kimono
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum


Why I wore it:

Blue, pink and purple is a trio I love to wear and I liked the different shades of it in this outfit, with the fuchsia shorts, navy tee and the navy and purple printed cover up with the plum purple mini MAB tote bag.

I picked this to wear for a warm yet windy day at the beachfront with my friend. We hadn't caught up in a while so it was good to take advantage of the weather and let the kids play in the water. The wading pool is nice shallow water and the boys spent most of their time there so I wore the shorts as I could stand in the pool with them if needed. And I like this navy tee with pink. The purple printed cover up was a must have for some extra sun protection, and then I added more purple with the plum mini MAB tote bag. While I had the big beach bag with towels, water bottles and beach toys, the mini MAB let me keep my phone and essentials close by as I wasn't swimming.


Last worn: purple printed cover up, beaded necklace, navy tee, fuchsia linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple MAB.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

Another navy tee and linen shorts outfit, with this turquoise pair. I still added some pink to this outfit with the fun tropical palm print cover up. Once again I wore it for a little extra sun protection, as we had a picnic down the coast with family. It was another really nice warm day so the kids had a blast playing in the water as I sat around enjoying the good food and conversation while keeping an eye on them.

As I didn't need to carry much and I had all the bright colours in my outfit with the pink and turquoise already, I kept the bag simple and wore my little black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.


Last worn: palm print cover up, beaded necklace, navy tee, turquoise shorts, braided sandals, Mimco crossbody bag.

Kmart Anko Floral Midi Dresses And Yellow Bags

Two very different Kmart Anko floral midi dresses I wore to the office recently, both accessorised with Converse and yellow crossbody bags.


What I wore:






NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

I really like how great this dress is for the office! It was a bargain $12 Kmart clearance sale find a while back and it always gets compliments. This is the first time I've tired wearing it with yellow and I really liked the combination. The yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag was a great pop against the teal floral dress.

I kept the rest of the accessories simple with a Tiffany necklace and my comfortable blue Converse for the commute to work.


Last worn: Tiffany heart necklace, teal floral print midi dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wearteal floral print midi dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and shorts.







What I wore:






Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

Another Kmart floral midi dress, this one a lucky $2 find! It's definitely a firm favourite, as like the one above it's perfect casually and in the office too. I've been on a bit of a yellow bag kick recently so again I tried a yellow bag with this floral dress. The mustard micro Regan hasn't been worn in a while, it was good to get it out again. Just like in the outfit above, it doesn't match any of the colours in the dress, but I enjoyed the pop of colour it gave against the mostly black dress.

Wore my black Converse with this, again as they are such comfortable shoes for the commute! And also because my sister had the kids, I met up with them after I finished work and we headed out to check out the Titanic exhibition in the city. It was an interesting way to end the work day.

Denim Dresses With Yellow Mini 5 Zip Bag and Yellow Necklaces

Two denim dress outfits for spring, both accessorised with this adorable little yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. It works well with the different denim washes.


What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

Got this denim maxi dress out again for another kids' birthday party. It's quite a thick denim and warm dress so I'm not sure I'll be able to wear it much over summer, but I love the darker wash and the long maxi length. Because it buttons fully I'd be able to wear it as a duster as well, although I have only worn it as a dress so far.

Despite being a warmer dress it was perfect on this day, and I liked the simple braided sandals with it. I wanted to add a little extra colour with all that darker blue denim, so I added the chartreuse necklace and then the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini5 zip bag. Even though they are not the same shades of yellow I liked the two pieces together against the blue denim.


Last worn: denim maxi dress, chartreuse necklace, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to weardenim maxi dress and leather jacket, braided sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and shorts.







What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
DressTarget puff sleeve tiered denim dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

Another denim dress for another spring day! I needed something nice and simple for a busy day, with an appointment for my son in the morning and then working from home for the rest of the day. This tiered denim dress is so comfortable and I liked the extra blue with the Converse sneakers. Like the outfit above, again I chose the little yellow mini 5 zip bag to add some colour.

And I chose this silver and yellow pendant necklace to follow the same outfit formula as the outfit above. It pairs so well with the bag too. I like a little bit of matchy-matchy with my accessories sometimes!


Last worn: tiered denim dress, yellow necklace, blue Converse sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).

Blue Printed Dresses and Pink Crossbody Bags

Enjoying warmer spring weekends in two different blue printed dresses, both accessorised with little pink crossbody bags.


What I wore:






Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Iris Maxi The Label flora print blue and white mini dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus silver and turquoise bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Wore this for lunch at my parent's place down the coast. My sister got me this dress for Christmas and it's so beautiful! First time I've worn it with this Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag, but I liked the muted pink with the pale blue print of the dress. Sadly did manage to spill food on this dress, but thankfully it washed off! And given that this is the fourth time I've worn this dress I'm surprised it hasn't been spilled on more often already, ha!

Added silver statement earrings with this rather than a necklace, although unfortunately they are a little hard to see in the photos. And just a pair of simple sandals for the heat. These ones I picked up at the opshop in winter, knowing they'd be great in the warmer weather.


Last worn: silver earrings, blue printed mini dress, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearblue printed mini dress and gold clutch, braided sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB crossbody bag and skirt.








What I wore:







Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: thrifted Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual and pearl bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 


Why I wore it:

Another very warm weekend day had me pulling out another blue printed dress. This one was a $2 clearance sale find a couple of years ago and I love wearing it every spring and summer! It was too hot to consider wearing anything other than this light sundress and simple sandals. We had an appointment in the afternoon, but the rest of the day was spent just enjoying the warm weather.

I really liked the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag with this outfit, even though it's a different shade from the blush pink in the print of the dress and the blush pink beads on my necklace.

Navy Dresses, Colourful Blazers and Pink Jean MAC Crossbody Bag

Adding a little more colour to neutral navy dresses for the office with these colourful blazers, and pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

There is a lot of blue in this outfit with the navy tiered dress, cobalt blue blazer and the blue Converse Chucks, but I loved the different shades together. I wanted to introduce a little more colour with accessories so I went with this multi coloured tassel necklace. It's really fun against the plain navy backdrop of the dress.

Because I always carry a separate work-issued laptop bag to the office, I just need a little bag for my own essentials and this Jean MAC crossbody bag hadn't been worn in a while so was overdue a wear. I really like pink bags with navy dresses like this. And the bag is the perfect size for my wallet, keys and phone.


Last worn: blue blazer, tassel necklace, navy tiered dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearblue blazer and skirt, navy tiered dress and tote bag, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag and shorts.






What I wore:

EarringsMimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
DressAtmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

Another navy dress outfit for work - I've finally hit 30 wears with this navy and black striped shift dress, which is a staple in the cooler weather with the thicker fabric and long sleeves. It was great for this cooler spring day with just the light blush blazer as a topper. And even though the blush blazer is a different shade of pink from the deeper pink on the Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag, I like the two together. It's not the first time I've worn this combination of pinks, I always enjoy it.

I went with black Converse this time, and the black and silver necklace, as they matched the black stripes in the dress nicely.

Kmart Fuchsia Pink Dresses, Converse And Rebecca Minkoff Love Too Bag

Enjoying spring office dressing, wearing these two Kmart fuchsia pink dresses that are perfect for my very casual business casual office. I accessorised both these pink dresses with my little Rebecca Minkoff deep teal croc embossed Love Too bag.


What I wore:


Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dressthrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

This linen dress is such a firm favourite, and such a lucky opshop find. Every time I wear it it makes me happy! I love the colour and on this particularly warm spring day the linen was perfect for the heat on the commute and kept me cool rushing to school drop off and pick up too. I liked the bright tassel necklace against the fuchsia backdrop of this dress, and added more colour with the deep teal Love Too bag. Wearing Converse again, they are so practical for the commute and supportive for my weakened knee.


Last worn: pink linen dress, tassel necklace, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearpink linen dress in winter, white Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.






What I wore:






Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
Earrings: thrifted Colette gold metal flower stud statement earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

After a run of very summer like temps, it actually cooled off a little to be more spring-like so I took the opportunity to wear a scarf with this dress. This navy grid print scarf is an opshop find and although it's a very different shade of blue from the Love Too bag I liked both accessories together against the pink dress.

The only downside to this outfit was that I wished I'd layered a little more. I'd planned this outfit the night before and on waking up to a cooler morning though the scarf would be enough of an addition to keep me warm. It was much colder than I expected after all those warm days and I wished I'd added a jacket to this. Thankfully was nice and warm in the office, and wasn't too cold on the commute home.


Last worn: pink midi dress, gold statement earrings, grid print scarf, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Orange Tiered Dresses, Denim Jackets and Chloe Periwinkle Paraty Bag

A surprising burst of summer-like weather at the end of winter in Brisbane had me reaching for dresses and lighter jackets. Both these orange tiered dresses were perfect for the surprisingly hot winter days I wore them on.


What I wore:







Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
DressJeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This was the first day of summer-like heat in winter, so I knew a linen dress would be a good choice but thought I might be a little cold without the denim jacket. It ended up warming up so much that I had the denim jacket off for most of the day! The linen dress was a good choice.

I liked the bright orange background of the dress as the blue toned beaded necklace looked really good with it, it's one of the necklaces I thrifted recently. And with the pale blue denim moto jacket the Chloe Paraty seemed like a nice choice. Even though the shades of blue are different they are close enough together that I really like the pairing. And this Chloe Paraty bag is just the right size for the essentials plus my latest library book that I took along to sit on the side lines of my son's sport sessions. Thankfully that was in the morning, before the day heated up too much.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, orange linen dress, leather Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag. First time I've worn this necklace as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to weardenim moto jacket and printed skirt, orange linen dress and tote bag, leather Converse and striped dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and shorts.





What I wore:






Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

I've been wearing a lot of orange and blue again lately, and as I liked it in the first outfit I wore the combination again a few days later! This tiered midi dress is a firm favourite, especially with blue! The periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty and the darker wash denim jacket both look really good with this shade of orange.

I added this recently thrifted necklace too, I like the little mint beads against the orange dress more than I thought I would. Nice and simple outfit, where I again ended up discarding the denim jacket later in the day as it was so warm! I was working from home and then taking Coops to a vet appointment over lunchtime.

Tiered Midi Dresses, Blue Scarves and Superstar Sneakers

Adding a touch of navy to these colourful Kmart tiered midi dresses with printed scarves for winter office days.


What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and white geo print tassel scarf
Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

While the faded electric blue 5 zip bag, dark navy suede moto jacket and tile print scarf are all different shades I though they looked nice with the orange tiered midi dress. I wear this dress with blue a lot, I always like blue and orange together. I did have a little matchy-matchy with the navy tassel earrings matching the tassels on the scarf, and that made me happy.

I find I'm reaching for this dress and similar ones quite a lot recently, as we get closer and closer to spring in Brisbane it isn't too cold to be going out with bare ankles, even on the early morning commute to the office as I had on this day.


Last worn: suede moto jacket, navy tassel earrings, geo print scarf, amber tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip bag.

Other ways to wearsuede moto jacket and printed dress, geo print scarf with purple, amber tiered midi dress worn two ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip bag and green skirt.







What I wore:

Scarf: navy bird print scarf
Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

I wish it had been a drier day so it wasn't so dark and cloudy when I took outfit photos in the morning, as I loved the colours in this outfit but it was hard to capture before rushing off into the city. It's not the first time I've worn this little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag with a pink dress, the colour looks so good with a bright fuchsia. And while it is the first time I've worn the cobalt leather jacket with the fuchsia pink dress I do love wearing this dress with shades of blue.

I couldn't resist adding a few more shades of blue like I did in the outfit above, with the turquoise earrings and the navy bird print scarf. This was so cheerful and colourful, I loved this outfit. Perfect for a day in the office with some colleagues from outside Brisbane.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, gold and turquoise earrings, bird print scarf, pink tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers (above), Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Tiered Maxi Dresses and Leopard Print Scarves

Adding a little extra colour and print to two Kmart tiered maxi dress outfits for Brisbane's winter with leather jackets and leopard print scarves.


What I wore:






JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
ScarfSupre neon pink leopard print scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Felt this scarf was overdue a wear - an impulse $5 sale buy when I walked past a store years ago, I still love it today! With the denim tiered maxi dress, I felt it added a nice pop of colour and print, and with the black leather jacket, kept me cosy for a cold winter day. I had the school run, an appointment for my youngest, then dropping him off at school for the rest of the day and running a few errands myself before school pick up.

The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was a practical choice to carry all the little extras I needed over the day. The navy Sketchers sneakers were a practical choice too as the appointment was at a specialist a bit of a drive away and I needed something comfortable to wear on my knee with all that driving, as I aggravated my old knee injury again when walking the dogs.


Last worn: black leather jacket, leopard print scarf, denim dressSketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and printed jeansleopard print scarf and knit, denim dress without jacketSketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and band tee.






What I wore:




JacketWittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
ScarfASOS crinkle oversized leopard print scarf
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Surprised to see I haven't worn this orange tiered midi dress with this cobalt jacket before, it's such a fun and colourful winter combination! I needed a little extra warmth for an early morning appointment for myself, and yet more errands. I added the leopard print scarf just like in the outfit above for a little extra print. I liked this outfit formula in both of these resulting outfits, it was good to wear it again!

I did end up taking the jacket off when it warmed up a little later that morning though, wasn't a necessity for a little opshop browsing I did before I headed home. Just like the outfit above, I'd picked the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag to wear as I had a few things and some paperwork to carry around.
