Orange Dresses and Red Accessories

Two colourful orange dresses, with red accessories for even more colour for some summer school holiday days. Orange and red is a fun combination I've started reaching for more often, I really like the red accessories with both of these orange dresses.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Necklace: thrifted red flat bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Got this amber tiered midi dress out again for a hot Sunday. It was really humid and threatening rain, but this dress keeps me nice and cool. It was perfect for church in the morning, a sports class with the kids in the afternoon, and then viewing the Christmas lights in the evening (as I wore this back in December). 

Thankfully while there were a few rain showers the sports class still went on, it only got really heavy right at the end, so they had a fun time. And the rain cleared up for us viewing the Christmas lights in the evening.

The little Rebecca Minkoff tote bag is more of an orangey-red than the beaded necklace, but I still liked these two pieces together against the amber midi dress.


Last worn: gingerbread earrings, flat red beaded necklace, amber tiered midi dress, braided sandals, micro Avery tote.

Other ways to wear: amber tiered midi dress and denim jacket, braided sandals and skirt, micro Avery tote bag worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Earrings: candy cane hoop earrings
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Repeated the orange dress and red necklace and bag combination again, because I liked it so much! Even wore the same sandals, they are comfortable and so good in the heat. It was another super hot day, so we hung out at the library for a bit enjoying the aircon there for the morning. The kids always like getting to play on the computers after picking out new books.

We headed home for lunch, and again as this was worn back in December, got a few more Christmas tasks done with some Christmas baking and decorating in preparation for Christmas Eve.

Just like in the first outfit above, the coral red necklace and the red studded saddle bag are different shades of red, but I still liked them together against this orange linen dress.


Last worn: candy cane earrings, coral necklace, orange linen dress, braided sandals (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: orange linen dress and tote bag, braided sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Red Midi Dresses For The Office Before Christmas

Wore some Kmart red midi dresses for the last couple of days at work before the Christmas break. Nice and festive, but not too over the top.

What I wore:

Earrings: glitter gingerbread earrings
Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus advent calendar charm bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

In my last week at the office before Christmas, my team had a Christmas lunch catch up. I knew I wanted to bring the festive vibes, but not look too out of place for the majority of the day in the office. I thought this coral red Kmart wrap dress was the perfect piece to wear. I've worn it lots of times outside of Christmas, and worn it for Christmas celebrations too, it's a good all-rounder dress.

I knew I'd nailed the outfit for the day when the lady I sat next to at lunch was also wearing gingerbread man earrings!

I liked the little red bag with this too, although not the same shade of coral as the dress I liked the reds together.


Last worn: gingerbread earrings, gold initial necklace, coral print wrap dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag.

Other ways to wear: coral print wrap dress and turquoise, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Earrings: glitter Santa hat stud earrings
Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

Another coral red dress for another day in the office. This was a hectic one, my last day at the office before the Christmas break so I was rushing trying to get everything done. But with the coral red dress and the burgundy necklace, and little glittery Santa hat stud earrings, I felt a little festive. Especially when I decided to wear my silver glitter sneakers. I thought the silver chain on the Stella McCartney Falabella bag matched with the shoes nicely.

I am surprised I haven't worn this burgundy beaded statement necklace with this coral red dress before. I liked the extra touch of red against the dress, even though it's a different shade, and I felt it made the outfit a little less casual for all my meetings as well.


Last worn: burgundy beaded necklace, coral tiered midi dress, silver glitter sneakers, Stella McCartney Falabella bag. First time I've worn the earrings.
 
Other ways to wear: coral tiered midi dress and tote, silver glitter sneakers and shorts, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and jeans.

Navy Striped Shift Dresses With Little Red Bag

Two similar striped shift dresses I wore to the office recently, with a little extra colour from my red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

It was a foggy start to the morning as you can see in the background, but after I got into the office the fog was lifting and it turned into a really warm day. I was able to take the scarf off in the afternoon as I didn't need it for school pick up.

With the red heart print scarf I wanted to be a little matchy-matchy, and this little red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag was a great match. With the gold hardware on the bag I added the gold glitter earrings for more matching too. I really liked this outfit, this navy and black striped dress is a great neutral that always works with any accessories.


Last worn: resin glitter earrings, heart print scarf, navy striped shift dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag.

Other ways to wear: heart print scarf and maxi dress, navy striped shift dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy striped shift dress in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Another day in the office, another striped shift dress! This one was a $1 opshop find and I'm certainly getting great value from that spend! It's surprisingly the first time I've worn this dress and the little red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag together before, it seems like such an obvious combo as red looks so good with navy and white.

Added my white leather Converse (also an opshop find!) as they are a great matchy-matchy choice, and added the blue toned necklace. I really like statement necklaces with this dress, it's such a good backdrop to wear them against with the navy and white stripes. I also felt it made the dress a little less casual, as we had an event on in the office so there were a lot of people in.


Last worn: navy white striped shift dress, blue toned necklace, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy white striped shift dress and pink, white Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

Red and Green Christmas Outfits

A final two festive Christmas outfits to share. While both of these are quite different they both feature red and green that I picked to try and make my outfits a little festive for December, which is when I wore them. My previous post has what I wore for Christmas day.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Ciao Bella glitter ball drop earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Merry Christmas deer antler tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus festive ribbon and bow bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

I knew this Kmart broderie anglaise midi skirt would be perfect for the White Christmas night at the MovieWorld theme park when I spotted it, so it was good mum got me this for Christmas and I was able to wear it a little early. It works so well with the festive reindeer tee mum made me a few years back, and was cool and comfortable for a humid evening at the theme park. We had a lot of fun, enjoying the 'snow' falling, going on the rides, and watching the 4D Polar Express Movie before finishing the night with the parade and ice cream. We were able to stay at my parents after so it wasn't such a long drive home as well which was appreciated.

While I knew this would be great for the event I also ran a few errands in it in the morning, it didn't seem to costume-y for that. I really liked the little red bag against the green of the midi skirt, especially with the little green and red bracelets.

The studded sandals were a good neutral and nice and practical for both errand running in the morning and walking around the theme park in the evening.


Last worn: bauble earrings, festive reindeer tee, Tiffany necklace, green midi skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: festive reindeer tee and maxi skirt, green midi skirt with black, studded sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Ciao Bella glitter ball drop earrings
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus gold and faux pearl bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

This was another red and green outfit, although not as obviously festive as the one above. I had to go into the office, so I got this pretty coral wrap dress out again. It's so cute with the white Converse and such a good option for work. I added the gold bauble earrings and the little green bag to make this slightly more Christmassy.

After work I took some Christmas photos with the kids around Brisbane - there were a bunch of Christmas decorations set up around Queen Street and with the boys in their Christmas tees and me in my little red dress we were suitably attired for some family pics.


Last worn: coral wrap dress, bauble earrings (above), white Converse, green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: coral wrap dress with yellow bag, white Converse and jeans, green mini 5-zip bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Navy Tops, Orange Skirts and Red Bag Outfits

Two different orange skirt outfits, both featuring a little red bag and a navy tank.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Tank: Kmart navy ribbed tank
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the first official day of my summer leave. Celebrated by taking the kids along to a cookie decorating class - they had a bunch of fun, and I had a good time chatting to my friend as our kids enjoyed their cookie playdate! Also ran a few errands picking up a couple last minute gifts, as this was back earlier in December.

I really like navy and orange together, so was eager to try this navy tank with the rust button up skirt. I really liked the combination! The Converse were a practical choice for a bit of driving around, and I thought the little red bag would be a fun pop against the rust skirt. I have been wearing this bag a lot lately! I really liked this outfit.


Last worn: navy tank, statement necklace, rust skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.
 
Other ways to wear: navy tank and printed shorts, rust skirt with stripes, white Converse and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways..

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

My Red Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Oxfam Noah's Ark green red beaded necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

This outfit is very similar to the one above, but I didn't love it quite as much. Still a fun combination of that navy, orange and red trio though.

Again it was a simple navy tank with an orange skirt, this lovely thrifted maxi skirt that is super light for hot days, which this day certainly was! I had the little red bag from the night before, when we had gone out to White Christmas event at MovieWorld, as we stayed overnight at my parents on the coast instead of driving back home. I thought it would be fun with the little red bag and orange skirt, and since we had been at a Christmas event the night before, a little red and green necklace for a festive touch. The neutral studded sandals were what I'd worn the night before too, to keep packing light.

We unfortunately had to leave early in the morning, having to get back home for a playdate, so we didn't stay at my parents long.


Last worn: navy tank, red and green bib necklace, orange maxi skirt, studded sandals, red micro Avery bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tank and shorts, orange maxi skirt and denim jacket, studded sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

Blue Tiered Dresses and Red Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two very similar outfits with tiered blue dresses and little Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bags for a pop of colour. Red and blue is a colour combination I love wearing.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace (Christmas gift)
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress (Christmas gift)
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs freshwater pearl bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Was eager to wear this new dress I got for Christmas as soon as possible, although perhaps waiting for a slightly cooler day would have been better! Wore this for a fun playdate with my son's friend. Dressed it up a little with the statement earrings.

Because I love blue and red together, I knew this little red saddle bag would be the perfect pop with this denim dress. I really liked the combination and I'm definitely going to wear this dress with red again in the future.

Last worn: tassel earrings, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag. First time I've worn this dress, bracelet and the necklace as they were Christmas presents.

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag and maxi skirt.

Necklace: Oxfam Noah's Ark green red beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas

Why I wore it:

Another blue tiered dress and little red bag day! Went with this structured Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag to keep all my essentials close by for a day at the beach. Of course I had a big Woolies tote bag with the towels and sunscreen and beach toys too. With the red bag, I thought this green and red necklace would be a nice bit of matchy-matchy as well, I really liked those accessories together.

This is a really light dress, perfect cover up for a beach day, and just like the outfit above, I loved red with this. Despite the breeze my sun hat stayed on nicely too.


Last worn: sun hat, red and green necklace, navy tiered dress, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote.

Casual Christmas Outfits With Festive Tees and Shorts

Two casual festive tee and shorts outfits I wore for Christmas, for two very different days!

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Tee: Merry Christmas deer antler tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a night out to Movie World for the annual White Christmas event. It's become a tradition, and it's so much fun! They have fake snow, the rides are open, there is a parade at the end of the night. We had a really good time, as always!

Wanted to be very Christmassy but also comfortable as it was such a humid evening - it ended up raining during the parade but we luckily had a spot undercover.

This little Rebecca Minkoff Avery tote bag is a great crossbody as it fits my essentials and my camera for the evening. I've worn it to this event before in a previous year. And with the red festive tee and the olive green shorts, it was a very Christmas-y outfit.


Last worn: festive reindeer tee, gold charm necklace, olive shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote.

Red Handbag Collection:

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Ciao Bella glitter ball drop earrings

Tee: festive glitter Santa tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Christmas ribbon bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was an utterly exhausting day. It was Christmas eve, and as we were hosting Christmas at our place this year it was going to be a fun food and family filled day. Unfortunately my son needed to be rushed to the hospital and we ended up spending most of the day there. Thankfully the doctors and nurses got on top of things so we could return home later in the afternoon for Christmas eve! 

When I got home and got my son settled I quickly changed from the clothes I'd grabbed at the last minute that morning into this more festive Santa glitter tee and these cute black printed shorts. Thankfully I'd planned my outfit out in advance. As we were spending the afternoon at home I didn't really need a bag, but had this one in the photos anyway as I'd grabbed it in the morning and filled it with water bottles and books and snacks in case we had a long stay at the hospital. I was regretting not filling it with more food in fact!

It was a bit of a more rushed Christmas eve than usual but we tried to make it special for the kids, and we were just grateful we could be at home together for it in the end.


Last worn: gold bauble earrings, green festive Santa tee, black printed shorts, ribbon bracelet, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: green festive Santa tee and maxi skirt, black printed shorts and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote and midi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: green festive Santa tee and maxi skirt.

Red Tees and Red Bag Outfits With Denim Skirts And Sneakers

Trying something a little different with these denim shorts and tees outfits! Wearing red Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bags with red tees. It was fun to wear these different shades of red together.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This clay colour tee is one that's not quite a true brown, not quite a true red, so I struggle a little thinking of what to wear it with. I thought I'd try it with a red bag, and needing a cover up as we would be inside in the aircon most of the day, picked this printed one with the red bits in the print that perfectly coordinated with the bag.

I think that the print helped tie together the two different shades of red really nicely, and of course this black distressed denim skirt goes with everything. As do the Converse!

It was a quiet day, we had a few errands to run in the morning as well as getting the kids a much needed hair cut.


Last worn: printed cape, clay tee, terrazzo necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: printed cape over dress, clay tee and printed shorts, Nobody Denim skirt and leopard print, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt 
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Had a bit of driving to do on this day, so comfortable sneakers were a necessity. Had an early morning start to drive the kids down the coast to the Animal Welfare League shelter where we adopted Cooper. They had a school holiday program where you could spend a day at the shelter learning all about it, and getting to play with all the different animals and teach the dogs some tricks. As it was over an hour's drive from home I stayed down the coast for the time the kids were at the shelter, at my parent's house which was a lot closer.

Since most of the day was lounging around at my parent's and driving, I needed to be comfortable. Denim and a tee were an easy choice, and I liked how similar the shades of red were on this coral tee and micro Avery bag. The navy tie dye cape was a good cover up and it added a little extra colour too so it didn't feel like too much red.


Last worn: navy tie dye cape, coral tee, pearl and heart charm necklace, Target denim skirt, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tie dye cape with yellow, coral tee and maxi skirt, Target denim skirt with striped tee, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

How You Can Wear It:

If you have a colourful bag in your wardrobe it can be fun matching it to a similar tee. If the shades are different, like in the first outfit, or closer together, like in the second outfit, a printed cover up is a nice way to add a colourful printed buffer.

Striped Tanks, Denim Shorts and Red Crossbody Bags

With the summer heat and summer holidays near the end of January I was starting to feel a little uninspired with my outfits. Stripes and denim shorts with a pop of colour is always a good outfit idea that doesn't require a lot of effort so I wore these simple outfits on days out with the kids, accessorising with some red Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl beaded bracelets 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale in blue!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a playdate in the park before school returned. I'd had grand plans for frequent playdates over the school holidays with my son's school friends, but with the little one's surgery before Christmas and wanting to make up for that after Christmas with time with family, we only made it to two playdates! I was glad we organised this one though, my son's friend's mum was so nice to talk to and the kids are such good friends.

I did think about dressing up as the other mum is very stylish, but it was a hot day and I knew I'd be running around in the park a little with the boys so I went with the mum staple of shorts and tee. Added a little interest with the striped tee instead of a plain one and a pop with the red Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag, but nothing too over the top. Perfect for a hot morning at the park. I haven't worn this Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag in a while and I'm not sure why, it's such a good bag! It worked well with the rust stripes on the tee.

Carried some snacks along to share which meant I didn't need a big handbag as everyone's water bottles went in the bag with the picnic blanket and food.


Last worn: clay striped tee, feather necklace, Bermuda denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff red studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: clay striped tee and olive shorts, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff red studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Favourite Bag In My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Tank: Jeanswest 'Josie' striped back strap tank
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Stripes and denim shorts again, with another red Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag! This time around it was a striped tank, this one is so very close to 30 wears and definitely a wardrobe staple. I wore it with the distressed denim shorts and Converse for a quiet Saturday. We had a trip to the library after swimming lessons, stocking up on some new books for the kids and myself ahead of the public holiday day off a few days later. The kids also got to pick up their prize for the summer reading competition they entered which was nice.

With the blue necklace, navy stripe tank, blue denim shorts and blue Converse, this outfit really benefited from the extra pop of colour with the little red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag. I like wearing red with this striped tank, it's a fun combination and one I've repeated a few times. I'm a big fan of the "if it works, repeat it again" outfit combinations 😅


Last worn: navy and white striped tank, blue necklace, distressed denim shorts, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody.

Other ways to wear: navy and white striped tank and skinny jeans, distressed denim shorts and kimono, Converse and culottes, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy and white striped tank in second trimester.

How You can Wear It:

Stripes and denim is a classic combo, and both these outfits are staple mum outfits for summer days! For a little extra interest and colour you can pick a bright bag like these red Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bags, for a fun pop with your outfit.
