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
BagRebecca 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.

What I wore:




Earrings: candy cane hoop earrings
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
DressJeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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.

What I Wore For Christmas! Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day Outfits

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Getting around to sharing what I wore for Christmas, over multiple days of celebration with family, friends and food. 

We spend Christmas Eve together for family time and baking and crafting, and then Christmas Day is the main event with the massive lunch and all the presents, and then it's over to the in-laws on Boxing day to celebrate Christmas with them too.


What I wore:




Hat: Santa hat
Earrings: festive cockatoo and presents statement earrings (Christmas present)
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

This is what I wore for Christmas day. I bought this preloved maxi dress at fashion markets back in 2023, although I hadn't worn it in 2024 at all. I went to wear it one day and then thought "this would be the perfect dress for Christmas" and I haven't worn it since, trying to "save" it for the occasion, which is a little silly. It was so good to give it a wear again and realise I've passed over wearing it for no real reason, as I love it.

After an extremely early 4am wakeup from the over-excited kids, it was present time then church and back home to cook Christmas lunch with the family. I was hosting again this year, and invited my friend along to join us for lunch as well so it was a little busier than most times I've hosted Christmas! It was so fun having more people at our table though.


Last worn: Santa hat, Orange Sherbet maxi dress, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Leo clutch. First time I've worn the festive cockatoo earrings as I got them for Christmas.

Other ways to wearSanta hat and coral dress, Orange Sherbet maxi dress worn 2 ways, braided sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Leo clutch and navy dress.





What I wore:





Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Tee: festive glitter Santa tee
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt (new purchase)
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies green glitter resin bangle and Polka Luka resin bangles in red and teal
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

This is what I wore for Christmas eve. I was particularly excited about wearing this Nobody Denim skirt. It's not the first wear, but first wear on the blog. I bought it at Salvos, new with tags, for a bargain $30, which I'm very pleased with. I wore it with my annual Christmas Eve tee, one my sister bought me back in 2012. It's a little less glitter than when it was new, but it's still going strong 12 years later!

Stuck with the festive theme with my big glittery gingerbread man earrings, red and green resin bracelets, and red Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.


Last worn: glitter gingerbread earrings, festive Santa tee, Havaianas, red and green resin bracelets, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag. It's the first time I've worn the green glitter resin bracelet and Nobody Denim skirt as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wearfestive Santa tee and maxi skirtRebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancyfestive Santa tee in second trimester.





What I wore:




Earrings: festive cockatoo and presents statement earrings
Dress: Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
Belt: came with dress
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

I wore this for celebrating Christmas on boxing day with the in-laws. It's a much more casual Christmas celebration but I still like to wear a pretty dress. And it was another excuse for me to wear these amazing cockatoo sitting on presents earrings that I got in my stocking! I liked the native floral illustration in the earrings complimenting the floral print of the teal maxi dress.

The tie around the waist for the dress seemed like a nice idea at first, but I ended up taking it off so the dress hung loose. Better on the hot day, and for all the delicious food I was anticipating! The kids had a great time and this dress was perfect, especially as I spent some time on the floor with the dogs. When we adopted Bonnie earlier this year we increased the total number of dogs at the in-laws Christmas celebration to 5, so there were a lot of very good dogs to pat and play with.


Last worn: cockatoo earrings (above), teal floral maxi dress, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch (above).

Casual Christmas Red & Green Maxi Skirt Outfits

I had a lot of fun wearing these outfits! Red and green skirts with printed tees for some Christmas events before the big day. Hope you are having a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with your loved ones.


What I wore:






Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Merry Christmas deer antler tee
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka resin bangles in red and teal
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

Had to break out this Christmas tee again that mum made me, for our annual family Christmas trip to the Movie World White Christmas evening event. This year we surprised the boys by going down earlier in the day, before the evening event started, so we had some extra time at the theme park.

I thought the cotton tiered maxi skirt would keep me cool and comfortable, as it was such a humid day. We kept cool by drinking lots of water, and you got a good breeze on the rollercoasters!

To make my outfit a little more Christmas-like I added the resin bangle sets, and just wore my little black Mimco bag for my camera and essentials. I carried a big reusable tote bag for our water bottles, which were refilled frequently.

The only thing I regretted about this outfit was the glitter gingerbread earrings. Perfectly on-theme for the evening's event, but not the best choice when they were flying around in my face on all the rollercoasters, ha!


Last worn: gingerbread earrings, Tiffany necklace, cream resin bracelet stack, red and green resin bracelets, reindeer tee, tiered maxi skirt, white leather Converse, Mimco crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearreindeer tee and shorts, tiered maxi skirt in winter, white leather Converse, Mimco crossbody bag and blazer.








What I wore:



Earrings: DIY green clay Christmas tree earrings
Tee: Jeanswest Kaylin star foil grey tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:


I wasn't too sure this outfit would work but I was eager to give it a try! I really like this green broderie skirt around Christmas time, although it is something I wear other times of the year too, it gets a work out in December! Last time I wore this skirt with a printed top I wasn't too happy with the final result, but I liked the subtle gold foil star print on this tee and thought it wasn't too busy with the broderie fabric of the skirt, so I was happy to wear it.

We had a couple of errands to run in the morning, and then in the afternoon and evening we went to the local carol service. I added a little extra festive colour with the red Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag, and I wore my clay Christmas tree earrings even though they didn't match the green of the skirt exactly. Thankfully the storm held off so we got to enjoy the carols and the closing fireworks before the rain arrived on our drive home.


Last worn: Christmas tree earrings, star foil print tee, broderie skirt, rose gold sandals, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Black and White Jeans, Tee and Knit Outfits With Red Saddle Bag

Feeling uninspired with my winter wardrobe and having two quieter days in the office recently I stuck to an easy outfit formula of white tee, black skinny jeans and black knits, with a pop of colour from my little red Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.


What I wore:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
TeeAtmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets and pearl bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

This cosy knitted poncho was a good choice for a colder morning commute. It's not the most formal piece for the office, but I had a quiet day mostly at my desk and it was warm enough in the office not to need this, so I just wore the jeans and tee most of the time. I definitely appreciated the knit in the morning though, although at school pickup in the afternoon and taking the kids to sport it warmed up enough I didn't need to wear it.

With the black jeans, white tee, and black and white knit, the black and white Adidas Superstar sneakers seemed like a good matchy-matchy choice. I added a little colour with the red Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag, it really pops with a black and white outfit like this. Although it's hard to pick up in the photos, I wore my little red dinosaur skeleton earrings too and they got some lovely compliments, they are so fun.


Last worn: knitted poncho, dinosaur earrings, white tee, bronze foil necklace, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

What I wore:






JacketCotton On black knit wrap cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl zesty stripe tassel scarf in pink
Earrings: DIY red star clay earrings
TeeCotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

Another office day with a white tee, black jeans and black knit outfit! It's a little hard to see because of the big striped scarf but I like this white tee as it's textured and adds a little more interest to an outfit.

Much colder start to the day as this was back in winter that I wore this, so I needed the scarf for warmth in the early morning commute. And I also really liked the pink and red combination of the scarf when it was against the black and white outfit and paired with the little red Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag. Although the shades of red of the scarf and bag don't match, I liked them together, and I added another bit of red with the tiny clay star earrings I made.

Leopard Print Skirt Outfits With Red Saddle Bag

Two different skirt outfits, both following a black and leopard print outfit formula and accessorised with my little red saddle bag that has been getting a lot of wear lately.


What I wore:




Tank: lace bib black swing tank from Mum's wardrobe
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day, just before Christmas. Had a bunch of errands to run and last minute gifts to pick up as well as the massive pile of wrapping to finish. As it was a hot day I needed something easy and light, this cute ruffle hem leopard print skirt was ideal, and so good with the neutral black lace detail tank. With the leopard print on the skirt, and the lace detail of the tank, I felt this outfit was detailed enough that I didn't need to add a necklace to it. It was also nice to not add another layering piece in the heat. We definitely needed the aircon on by the time my sister came over for dinner.







What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

While this outfit follows a similar idea as the one above, with the leopard print, orange bag and another skirt, it looks really different as it's a black denim skirt and a neon leopard print tee. Same red saddle bag though, it was a go-to bag over December! Wore this again to run a couple of errands, and then attend a science event at the library. The kids had a lot of fun, and on such a humid day it was good to enjoy the aircon in the library for a while!

This leopard print tee is one I often pair with denim, I really liked it with the denim skirt. I need to wear it with red more often though! The red saddle bag looked so good with the neon orange. I felt like adding some accessories to this, so went with this black Swarovski wrap bracelet and the neutral beaded necklace so it didn't distract from the fun tee too much.


Last worn: leopard print tee, neutral necklace, black denim skirt, studded sandals, red studded saddle bag (above).

Other ways to wearleopard print tee and jeans, black denim skirt and duster, studded sandals and dressRebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancystudded sandals 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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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.

What I wore:


Necklace: Oxfam Noah's Ark green red beaded necklace
TankCle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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.

Red and Green Midi Skirt and Tee Outfits For The Office

Wore both of these outfits back in December before finishing up work for the Christmas holidays. Both are simple tee and midi skirt outfits, with a bit of red and green for some December festivity.


What I wore:




Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
NecklaceStarfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden beaded bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag


Why I wore it:

Red and leopard together is always a winner! I liked this coral tee with the green accessories too, with both the beaded necklace and the little green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag, it was perfectly festive for Christmas without feeling like too much. It was pretty quiet in the office, with lots of leave starting already, so this was nice and comfortable for a day at my desk. This midi skirt has become a frequent go-to for me for work after I thrifted it back in October. Pre-pandemic I would have thought it a little too casual for the office, but my already business casual office culture has become even more relaxed since we started popping back into the office again.

Did think of trying to dress this up a little with ballet flats rather than Converse, but again went for comfort with the Converse.


Last worn: earringscoral tee, green necklace, leopard print midi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag.

What I wore:




Necklace: Red multi strand beaded statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in black
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

This was my last day in the office and last day at work for the year before starting my summer break so I just had to wear this pretty broderie anglaise midi skirt. Mum got it for me for Christmas on our annual pre-Christmas shopping trip but I wanted to start wearing it early - I knew it would be great for this last day at work for the year, and I wore it to the White Christmas night at Movieworld too. I'm excited to wear this outside of December and make it work year-round, but for this outfit I leaned into it and added some red accessories to make it more festive.

While the little red studded saddle bag and the red multi strand statement necklace and red bracelet stack are different shades of red, I think they worked well together and of course the black tee goes with everything. I did add a little extra matchy-matchy by wearing my black converse with this too.

To make things even more festive, I walked around the office in a Santa hat as well!


Last worn: black tee, red statement necklace, Converse (above), red studded saddle bag. First time I've shared the skirt on the blog as it's as recent gift.

Tiered Sundresses and Red Rebecca Minkoff Studded Saddle Bag

Hope you had a lovely Christmas! We thankfully were safe from any major damage from the storms.



Today, sharing more of my tiered printed sundress outfits again. for some very hot summer days in Brisbane! I added a little red to both of these with my Rebecca Minkoff Studded Saddle bag, that I have been wearing so much recently.


What I wore:




Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus plus Roie Designs beaded bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

I really like this navy and blush print Kmart sundress, it was a Kmart clearance find years ago, for just $2! I decided to try it with a little bit of red to brighten it up even more, for a day with the school run, working from home, and errands after school pick up. I matched the red saddle bag with my little red dino skeleton earrings and a little red beaded bracelet. Even though they are all different shades of red, I liked the additions, especially with the blue background of the dress.

My navy and pink Havaianas match the print of this dress so well, and they were the best choice for such a hot and humid day!


Last worn: dino earrings, circle necklacenavy tiered sundress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

30 Ways to Wear: Red Studded Saddle Bag







What I wore:




Earrings: Colette Ciao Bella glitter ball drop earrings
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

This was a very, very humid day! My sister was over and we spent the morning finishing off our Christmas shopping, before heading out to the church Christmas festival and carols in the afternoon. This relaxed tiered sundress was the perfect light dress to wear, although I did get a little sunburnt from lack of shoulder coverage at the festival in the afternoon.

With the pretty orange pastel palm print on the dress, I thought this red saddle bag would be a good combination. And as it was a Christmas event I added the gold bauble earrings and a tiny amount of green with this fun multi coloured beaded necklace.

Picked my comfortable sneakers as there was a lot of walking around to do at the shops and then later at the event, checking out all the stalls and going on a few of the rides with the kids.
