Denim Skirts, Colourful Tees, Printed Layers and Grey MAB

Two colourful v-neck tees with printed cover ups, denim skirts, and my Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag that was overdue a wear.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets:  Mimco mini shimmy bracelet in bluebell
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for church in the morning, and a playdate for my son in the afternoon. When I bought this tee I thought of this printed cover up right away! The copper colour is so perfect with the orange and red in this cover up print, and I really liked the combination. I was glad this pairing turned out as well as I hoped it would when I saw the tee in the store.

I kept the rest of my outfit neutral, with the black sandals, black denim skirt, and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag. It's been a while since I wore this bag so it was good to get it out again.

Last worn: heart stud earrings, printed cover up, mixed metal necklace, black denim skirt, black sandals, Rebecca Minkoff MAB. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and jeans, black denim skirt and florals, black sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAB worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAB in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: Havaianas glitter Rosa Macaron
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busier weekend day, with a trip to the vets for Bonnie as it's coming up on a year after we adopted her and she was due her annual vaccines. The kids came along for support for her too, she was such a brave dog!

After the vets it was a few errands and getting some jewellery repaired, I'd been meaning to do it for a while so it was nice to find a local place. I even had time for a browse in my favourite opshop on the ay home, although I didn't score any new wardrobe items for me as I'd had a lot of success at the start of the month, I did pick up some books for the kids and I.

This pink tee is one I've hit 30 wears on, and I will really need to do a 30 ways to wear post on it soon, it's a firm favourite! I thought it added just the right amount of colour to the grey Nobody denim skirt and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag. The leopard print cocoon cardigan was nice and cosy, although I definitely didn't need it later in the afternoon as it warmed up into such a warm day.


Last worn: silver circle earrings, leopard cardigan, faux pearl necklace, pink tee, grey nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAB (above).

Other ways to wear: leopard cardigan and jeans, pink tee and shorts, grey nobody Denim skirt with yellow, Rebecca Minkoff MAB and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAB in third trimester.

Navy and Pink Pencil Skirt and Tee Outfits With Grey Mini MAB Bag

More office outfits, with two navy and pink tee and pencil skirt combinations. I like how a casual tee and pencil skirt outfit feels a little formal for the office now after 2020 - even without a blazer I still feel suitably dressed up. Both outfits I'm wearing my Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag and my trusty black Converse. Both accessories go with everything.

What I wore:

 
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

It was another rainy autumn day in Brisbane so I needed to bring a bit of colour - and this tee is such a nice cheerful shade of pink! Wore it with my navy jacquard pencil skirt, which surprisingly I have not yet hit 30 wears with yet. It's such a nice pencil skirt for in the office, I really like the jacquard texture for something a little different.

I went a little matchy-matchy with the navy beaded necklace matching the skirt, and then classic neutral accessories against the pink tee with the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag and the black Converse.

Last worn: pink tee, navy and gold beaded necklace, jacquard pencil skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and printed jeans, jacquard pencil skirt and green, black Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: silver twisted chain necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: Cotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Another office day, another navy and pink pencil skirt and tee outfit! Again I picked the same accessories with this with the black Converse and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag. They just go with everything!

I went with a pink skirt this time - just like the jacquard navy pencil skirt above, this mesh and polka dot one is textured and very fun to wear. I like the pale pink, and it pairs nicely with the navy tee. As I say every time I wear this tee, I wish the navy lurex thread woven through it showed up in photos - it's a really nice detail in person and impossible to miss the sparkle it gives! With the silver thread in the tee and the silver hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag, a silver necklace was an obvious choice and this one was overdue another wear.


Last worn: navy lurex tee, silver statement necklace, textured polka dot pencil skirt, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy lurex tee and leopard print, textured polka dot pencil skirt in winter, black Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink polka dot pencil skirt in first trimester, Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

Orange Tiered Dresses and Grey MAM Bag For Kids Birthday Parties

A birthday party filled weekend recently had me sticking to a very simple outfit formula. Tiered orange dresses, my tan slides, and my little grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM. I love how a dress is an easy instant outfit.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

A thankfully indoor kids birthday party as it turned into a very rainy day! This orange tiered linen dress was nice and colourful for the occasion, but not too warm in the heat. Despite the rain it was still pretty humid. I added more colour to this orange tiered linen dress with the bright tassel multi strand necklace. I liked the extra colour against the already bright orange dress.

The rest of my outfit was neutral, with the tan slides and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag which has been on frequent repeat since I got it out of my wardrobe again recently. It's a bag that goes with everything and fits everything so it's hard to swap it out for another bag sometimes!


Last worn: orange tiered linen dress, tassel necklace, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Other ways to wear: orange tiered linen dress and tote bag, tan slides and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka resin bangles in yellow and orange
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Another orange tiered dress for another kid's birthday party. This one is an older one from my wardrobe, a fun Kmart tiered midi dress I bought back in 2020. This is its 16th wear. With this mixed metal gold and silver necklace I got for Christmas, it was another easy instant outfit for a busy and loud birthday party.

Did add some chunky bracelets to make it look like I put a little effort into this outfit. The cream resin ones are ones I thrifted a while back and they look great with the orange and yellow resin bangles my bestie got me one Christmas.

Again I wore my Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag - perfect for water bottles as well as all my essentials. The party was at an indoor play area so the kids definitely needed a lot of water as they ran around with their friends.


Last worn: orange tiered midi dress, mixed metal necklace, cream resin bangles, orange resin bangle, tan crossover slides (above), Rebecca Minkoff MAM (above).

Other ways to wear: orange tiered midi dress and denim jacket, tan crossover slides and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

Neutral Tees and Grey MAM Bag With Colourful Maxi Skirts

Wore a couple colourful maxi skirts recently for working from home days with brief outfits. Both outfits worn with my neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag, that is still going strong even though I bought it nearly 11 years ago. The perfect go with everything bag that fits all the essentials plus more.

What I wore:

Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wanted something that was both comfortable and colourful, as while I was working from home I had some time in my afternoon to go cheer my son on at his sports day. I figured I'd be easy to spot in the side lines in this bright tie dye maxi skirt! Did keep the rest of my outfit simple and neutral though, with this grey marle tee and then a little matchy-matchy with this grey and blue clay beaded necklace. I thought the Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag was a good accessory to fit in a water bottle for me as I cheered on the side lines, as well as my camera for taking some good photos.

Unfortunately, forgot the camera in my haste to get out the door for sports day in the small gap I had between meetings, but at least I was able to be there in person even if I couldn't get any good photos.


Last worn: grey marle tee, beaded statement necklace, tie dye maxi skirt, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Other ways to wear: grey marle tee and shorts, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, tan slides and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Again I wore my neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM as I had to carry a few extra things on this day. Although with the black tee, a black bag probably would have worked better, I just wanted to wear this bag again. It fit all the essentials plus my latest book, as I had to pick up my son early from school for an appointment and I like to read in waiting rooms.

It's not the first time I've worn this ochre maxi skirt with a black tee, I like the simplicity of a classic neutral against the colourful orange skirt. I added a little more colour with the yellow necklace too.

Again I went with my tan slides that I have been wearing non stop since getting for Christmas! Perfect for the work from home / school run days when I'm not doing a lot of walking.


Last worn: black textured tee, yellow necklace, ochre maxi skirt, tan slides (above), Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM (above).

Other ways to wear: black textured tee and shorts, ochre maxi skirt with chambray, tan slides and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM in second trimester.

Pink Jeans and Peplum Tops

Felt like I hadn't worn these black peplum tops for a while, so go them out again to wear with some pink jeans and leopard print outfits. Accessorised both with cosy cardigans for winter and for comfort while working from home.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: blush pink and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tank: Kmart black sleeveless frill hem peplum tank
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

Taking advantage of the winter school holidays, the kids had a fun day out with my mum while I got to enjoy the peace and quiet working from home. It worked out so well as I had a meeting filled day, and I didn't have to worry about noise in the background!

Did have to pop out in the morning between meetings for a quick errand, but otherwise wanted to be comfortable for sitting at my desk all day. I liked all the different shades of pink with this, with the leopard print jeans, studded MAB crossbody bag and the pastel tassel necklace. I wasn't too sure if the black peplum tank and black cardigan were too similar to wear together, being identical shades of black, but I think they balanced out all the pink nicely, especially when paired with the black Converse sneakers.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, pastel tassel necklace, peplum tank, leopard print jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wear: cocoon cardigan and denim skirt, peplum tank and pencil skirt, leopard print jeans and purple, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee

Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Another pink jeans and leopard print outfit for another working from home day. I had to take the kids along to a school holiday program in the morning and pick them up again in the afternoon, so again I went with the practical Converse sneakers for the little bit of driving. Unlike the first outfit, I stuck with one shade of pink with these magenta jeans which are a firm favourite of mine in the cooler weather. I wasn't sure if the leopard print cardigan was too much with the space dye print on the peplum tank, but decided to give it a go as I thought the patchy print was a good pairing. I'm not sure I would wear this again, but I'm glad I gave it a go for something different.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, orange necklace, peplum tee, magenta jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan with white jeans, peplum tee with red, magenta jeans and blue knit, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM in second trimester.

Jeans, Colourful Cardigans and Peplum Tops

Adding extra colour to some peplum top and jeans outfits with cosy bright cardigans for autumn days back in May.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: silver heart long pendant necklace
Tank: Kmart navy bird print peplum frill hem tank
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 

Why I wore it:

I felt it had been a while since I'd last worn this awesome bird print peplum tank, and it was definitely due another wear, before the weather cools off too much and I stop wearing sleeveless tops like this as often. I thought this day was perfect for it, with the school run, volunteering in my son's classroom and working from home before a quick few errands before school pick up in the afternoon, and more errands and a library visit afterwards. It was a warmer day than I expected though, and I found myself taking my cardigan off for school pick up, as all the running around was making me regret the choice to layer up!

I really liked the mustard cardigan with the navy blue tank, and all the darker neutrals in the rest of my outfit. The grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag is an old favourite and perfect for fitting everything in it for a busy day! The silver heart necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the silver hardware on the bag, even though I don't think it was the best choice for this outfit, I'd been in a rush that morning and didn't have time to try too many options. And these grey Nobody Denim jeans go with everything!


Last worn: mustard cardigan, silver heart necklace, bird print peplum tank, grey Nobody Denim jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, bird print peplum tank and pencil skirt, grey Nobody Denim jeans worn 2 ways, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM in second trimester.

Wear and Tear: Rebecca Minkoff MAM Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 

Why I wore it:

I deliberately picked bright pieces to add to this outfit! The space dye peplum tee was just different enough from the plain black Nobody denim skinny jeans for me to try the two together, but it all felt a bit muted. I added the blue Converse and turquoise beaded necklace for a little more colour. And the cosy red waterfall cardigan to ensure that my son didn't miss me in the crowd as I surprised him at his award ceremony at school.

This red waterfall cardigan is soo cosy though, and just like the day above, I regretted deciding to wear it a little in the afternoon and was overheating a bit in the hall, although I'd been perfectly cosy working from home. The day just heated up more than I expected! It did work for my son to spot me though, and the cardigan was easy to take off after, with the necklace and blue Converse shoes adding enough colour that I didn't feel too dull without the cardigan!


Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, turquoise beaded necklace, space dye peplum tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM (above).

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and monochrome outfit, space dye peplum tee and red jeans, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, blue Converse and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

It's easy to add colour to a pair of dark grey or black jeans with a bright cardigan - and its a good way to layer up for cooler autumn mornings and evenings. A cardigan is easy to discard when the day warms up too, and folds up nicely into a big bag like the Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Orange Tees, Navy Culottes And Converse

Two orange and blue shorts and tee outfits that look a lot brighter on my computer screen than they felt in person! No matter the shade, I love orange and navy together.

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a particularly hot and humid day so shorts and a tee was perfect - especially a nice soft oversized tee like this marigold one and light and soft printed navy culotte shorts like these. My parents came over and gave me a new bike! They got it for free from their neighbour who didn't want it any more and both worked on it to get it cleaned up and safe for me to bike on. It's a gorgeous bike and I'm so excited! Looks just like this, the basket easily fits my bag and everyone's water bottles. Of course we had to go out for a bike ride right away for me to test it out. It wasn't the smoothest ride - the bike itself is super comfortable and a dream to ride - but the kids stop a lot and I spent most of the time waiting for them or jumping off to help them pedal along or up a hill, haha! It's nice to actually be able to bike along with them too though instead of just walking behind them on their bike rides. Looking forward to biking around more and using it to build up the strength in my knee. Haven't had a bike in years so I'm thrilled with this one.

I liked the bright orange tee with the navy printed culottes. Even though there is no orange in the print on the shorts, the periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty bag and the blue Converse Chucks were enough extra matchy-matchy colour to make me happy. Great outfit and day!

Last worn: marigold orange tee, statement beaded necklace, Kmart navy printed culottes, Converse, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: marigold orange tee and printed jeans, Kmart navy printed culottes and cardigan, Converse and denim, Chloe Paraty bag with pink.

My Handbag Collection and Wardrobe Room

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue multi stand long beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 

Why I wore it:

Shorts and tee are of course a mum staple and is the perfect outfit for the school run, working from home, and with the navy striped culotte shorts is dressy enough for an afternoon appointment for my son. I knew when I saw this pretty washed mango tee on the Cotton On site that I'd be wearing it with these navy culottes! I didn't know that my camera would make it look almost neon, haha! As you can see in the Insta pic it's more of a subdued orange - "washed summer mango" is both the official colour name and the perfect way to describe the colour!

I wasn't 100% happy with the necklace choice - I do like the navy with the orange tee but I think the necklace was a bit out of place with the tie on the navy striped culottes and I could have gone with something shorter. Being in a rush to get everyone up and ready and out for the school run before getting back home to log onto work though I went with this first choice necklace. Wasn't too bad, just not a combo I'd repeat again.

I did like the neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag with this outfit though - it really does go with everything. Even though I didn't need to carry too much on this day and could have gone with a smaller bag, it was easier using this one I'd already used previously and still not transferred my things out of.

Last worn: beaded necklace, navy stripe culottes, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM. First time I've worn the tee as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe culottes and white tee, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Navy and orange are an easy combo - no matter what shade of orange! If you have an orange tee, try it with a pair of navy shorts. Printed culottes can be great for adding even more colour to your outfit too.

V-Neck Tees, Printed Maxi Skirts and Rebecca Minkoff MAM Bag: Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two simple printed maxi skirts and tee outfits, both featuring different shades of red and blue! And my neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag that was definitely overdue a wear.

What I wore:

Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl, howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 

Why I wore it:

Breaking the "weekday" part of the Weekday Wear Linkup as I wore this on the weekend, taking the kids out for a bike ride around our favourite trail and stopping off at the playground before going home for lunch. Wanted something cool as it was such a humid day - this breezy red thrifted maxi skirt was perfect and it gave me the change to wear my newly purchased blue v-neck tee. I really like the pale blue with the red printed maxi skirt. I wasn't sure if this necklace would get 'lost' with the blue tee but I think it worked well!

We weren't planning to be out too long with the heat so I just packed a couple of snacks and all our water bottles in my grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM. It holds a ton! Stuck with my comfortable yet not quite matching the outfit New Balance sneakers, as after aggravating my knee injury I needed the extra support for our trail walking.

Last worn: beaded necklace, red printed maxi skirt, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAM. First time I've worn the blue v-neck tee as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: red printed maxi skirt and knit, Rebecca Minkoff MAM in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAM in second trimester.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAM

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

With the reddish clay coloured tee and the navy printed maxi skirt this outfit is just a flipped version of the colours in the first one. I wore the Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag again with this, as once I start using this bag it is really hard to swap it out for another one as it just fits everything I need, and being a neutral grey it goes with everything!

Picked a simple matchy-matchy necklace with the silver hardware on the bag and comfortable Converse shoes to add another touch of colour with my outfit. We had a busy day, being parent helper in my son's classroom in the morning, grabbing some groceries at Woolies and then a play in the park before the afternoon school pickup and sports in the evening.

The first time I wore this tee I paired it with black shorts and it worked well but I really liked it this time around with the navy striped maxi skirt more, so I'll need to wear it again with navy in the future!


Last worn: washed clay tee, silver circle necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag (above).

Other ways to wear: clay tee and shorts, navy stripe maxi skirt with yellow, Converse in monochrome outfit, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways bag

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A plain block colour v-neck tee is a great wardrobe basic and works well with printed pieces in your wardrobe. A printed maxi skirt makes a nice summer outfit with a v-neck tee but feels a little more dressed up than a standard pair of shorts.
