Maxi Skirts With Colourful Tees and Matching Bags

Making the most of some very quiet days in the office lately with just a couple of my team members to wear these simple maxi skirts and plain tee outfits. I did add some big statement necklaces to try dress up the tees a little, and had a little bit of matchy-matchy with my accessories, wearing bags in similar colours to the tees in each outfit.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Tee:  thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus black beaded bracelet stack and red beaded bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

This was one of those days where nothing goes to plan, starting off with being late in the morning! Always the worst and meant I was rushing into the office after school drop off. At least I'd planned my outfit the night before so it was easy to throw on and go in the morning.

Felt this black maxi skirt was due another wear. I see a lot more maxi skirts and dresses in the office than I ever did pre-pandemic, and I love it! With the plain black maxi skirt I added more colour with the coral tee, and then stuck with the red theme adding this burgundy beaded multi strand necklace and the little burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag. Added yet another shade of red with the red beaded bracelet in my bracelet stack too. Even though none of the shades of reds match exactly, I really liked them all together in this outfit.


Last worn: coral tee, multi strand necklace, black maxi skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearcoral tee and jeans, black maxi skirt and leather jacket, black Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and floral dress.

What I wore:





Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag


Why I wore it:

Another quiet day in the office - although I wasn't running late and rushing around on this day and it went a whole lot better! Since I liked the outfit above so much, I did the next best thing for this office day and wore the same outfit formula with different pieces. Repeating an outfit formula is something I like to do a lot, less effort than thinking up a whole new outfit!

This leopard print maxi skirt has been a firm favourite since I thrifted it and I thought I'd try pair it with green for something a little different. This green crew neck tee is an opshop find too! And while not the perfect match with the green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag I did like the different shades of green together.

As in the outfit above, I added the big wooden multi strand statement necklace to try make this a little more dressed up for the office.


Last worn: green crew neck tee, black statement necklace, leopard print maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag.

Tiered Dresses and Burgundy Bag With Converse

Sticking with simple outfits for hot summer days, accessorising these two tiered sundresses with my little burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and white Converse.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

Just needed an easy outfit for a weekend playdate - this little black tiered sundress was perfect! With the neutral necklace and white Converse, I wanted to add a little more colour, and the burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody was a nice way to do that without being too bright.

I've worn the bag and dress together before, I really like the combination.


Last worn: neutral necklace, black tiered sundress, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearblack tiered sundress and knotted tee, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, this is trying a few new things, with the print mixing with the palm print dress and tie dye cover up, and burgundy and orange combination with the Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag. Again went with the classic neutral white Converse sneakers.

I had the school run as well as working from home, and then a playdate in the park in the afternoon. I knew I'd need a cover up to protect my shoulders from the sun and this one is nice and light. I thought it was an interesting combination with the orange palm print dress and although I don't think I'll be rushing to try this pairing again it was good to try something different.


Last worn: tie dye cape, tassel necklace, tiered printed sundress, white Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag (above).

Colourful Shorts and Cover Ups With White Tees and Converse

Two outfits using the same tried and true outfit formula, with some new pieces I recently scored at the opshop. Colourful shorts, white tees and little crossbody bags with these printed cover ups I thrifted for just $1 each!


What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
TeeAtmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted pastel pink cotton shorts
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

I like pink and leopard print together, so I added a couple different shades of pink in this outfit to complement the printed cover up! These pastel pink shorts haven't been worn in a while, and with the white tee and neutral leopard print cover up it needed just a little extra colour. The Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag in fig pink was a good way to add more colour. even thought the shades of pink are different, blush goes with everything really!

Wore this for a simple working from home day, with the school run and a playdate in the park after school.


Last worn: leopard print cover up, statement necklace, white tee, blush shorts, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff jean MAC.

Other ways to wearleopard print cover up with teal, white tee and midi skirt, blush shorts and navy, white Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff jean MAC and floral dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
TeeCotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Shorts: thrifted red denim shorts
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

Another comfortable shorts and tee outfit with a pretty cover up. I liked the bolder colours in this outfit, it was a little more matchy-matchy with the dark floral print matching the red of the denim shorts and the burgundy crossbody bag. And of course plain white tees go with everything! Even added a black chain necklace to match the black background of the floral cover up.

Wore my white Converse again - it was another hot weekend and we had a bunch of errands to run. Converse are good for a lot of driving around.

Floral Print Dresses and Burgundy Crossbody Bag | Weekday wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two floral dresses for the office, both accessorised with my little burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.


What I wore:




Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
DressShein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o) 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

This was a warm spring day so I appreciated the swing style of this dress, it's great in the heat! It also however developed another split along the seams after wearing it all day. I have lost count of how many times I have had to repair this dress! It's leaving my wardrobe now, I am done constantly repairing the stitching. I have lost count of how many times I've patched or restitched it. This is it's 18th wear. I was really trying to reach 30 wears with it to prove you could do that even with a fast fashion brand like Shein, but the quality isn't there. Even though I got this dress back in 2018, so I'd expect it to be a little higher quality than anything available from that brand at the moment.

Annoying failure of stitching side, I did like this outfit. The burgundy Avery crossbody bag is so nice with the red print on the dress, and I liked the way the neutral earrings and necklace looked together. Just can't keep repairing this dress over and over, it's definitely done.


Last worn: navy floral swing dress, neutral disc earrings, beaded necklace, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff burgundy Avery crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearnavy floral swing dress and blazer, white Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff burgundy Avery crossbody bag and matching jeans.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:




Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

This dress is only on it's 14th wear, but it's definitely going much stronger than the Shein dress above, as I haven't had to repair it at all yet. It was also only $12 at Kmart, so not exactly top of the range quality, ha! Kmart certainly isn't a trailblazer at paying a living wage to it's garment workers, but the company has been improving slightly to make some progress towards being more ethical (rating of 57 on ethical fashion guide). Shein on the other hand, doesn't even have a promise to work towards paying anyone in the supply chain a living wage. (Rating of 4/100)

I picked this dress to wear to work as it was another cool and rainy day. I added the boots too to be extra warm, although I regretted the decision in the afternoon. I left the office early to go see my sons get some awards at school, at which point the rain had stopped and the humidity was creeping up. I'd wished I hadn't worn the boots, as much as I'd loved them in the morning!

Tried something a little different with the burgundy bag with the teal floral dress. I've worn red bags with this dress before, so I knew I'd like these two colours together too.


Last worn: Kmart teal floral midi dress, silver personalised necklace, tall boots, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wearKmart teal floral midi dress worn 2 ways, tall boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and skirt.

Black Jeans and Burgundy Bag With Printed Layers

Two more black denim outfits - I have been loving my jeans with the cooler winter weather! Both of these are accessorised with my burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag, and some printed layers to add a little extra interest to basic outfit formulas.


What I wore:


black and white stripes with Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy | awayfromblue


JacketKmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

I thought that the burgundy Rebecca Minkoff avery bag would go nicely with this purple tee - it really seemed to bring out the purple in it! As I've mentioned before, it's one I'm trying to hit 30 wears with although the spandex in it that made it so soft and stretchy is starting to show its age. It definitely needs to be worn with a cover up on top, so the black and white striped duster was perfect. I added the wooden necklace too, I really like this statement piece but don't wear it nearly enough!

With the faded black skinny jeans, these Converse All Stars are a staple, perfect for a quiet day with the school run and working from home, before a special dinner with the family in the evening.


Last worn: black and white striped duster, purple tee, wooden statement necklace, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff burgundy Avery bag.

Other ways to wear: black and white striped duster and dress, purple tee and skirtfaded black skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff burgundy Avery bag and mustard dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple tee in third trimesterConverse in second trimester.


Rebecca Minkoff Avery Crossbody: What's In My Bag






What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


JacketCotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

Another work from home and school run day meant another sneakers and black jeans outfit! With the silver tank and the black skinny jeans, this was a pretty monochromatic outfit. I thought that the floral waterfall cover up was a fun way to add more colour and interest to the outfit, although I do wish the navy necklace had matched the blue in the floral print a little more, the shades were quite different.

I ended up really liking the burgundy bag with this too! I haven't tried burgundy and magenta together before, but gave it a go as it meant I could reuse the bag from the day before and didn't have to swap anything out. Time is of the essence trying to get everyone up and ready for school in the mornings!


Last worn: floral cover up, navy necklace, metallic silver tank, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody (above).

Maxi Skirts and Striped Tees

I love tee and maxi skirt outfits in summer! And with block colour maxi skirts like these, a striped tee makes such an easy outfit.


What I wore:

TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

This was a busy morning! Went with an outfit I'd been meaning to try for a while. I really liked this burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag with my rust ruffle skirt last time I wore it so I knew it would look good with this rust maxi skirt. The burgundy striped tee was an extra bit of matchy-matchy with the bag and I really liked this outfit! Added the navy necklace for a little extra colour and because I like adding these beaded necklaces when I'm not sure what other necklace to go with - the neutrals go with everything.

Wore my New Balance sneakers as there was a bit of driving around! The kids had a school holiday workshop and I had a couple of errands to run before sports in the afternoon. This Avery crossbody was perfect for all my essentials, including my face mask as masks are required indoors again in Brisbane. And I even had time for a sneaky solo opshop browse! I added my lucky thrift find I picked up then to my haul video below.



What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

Another busy but fun day! The kids had a school holiday craft in the morning, we had to pick up a few groceries, then we spent some time at the playground before stopping by the opshop on the way home. They had an "everything for $1" sale on which was perfect for me, I picked up a few clothes and accessories and my sons got a board game for just $1! As you can see from the video above I got some great fashion finds! I took advantage of my leave from work to visit a few opshops I wouldn't usually get to so it was a bumper haul of preloved bargains as well as the $1 sale day finds. After all that morning excitement it was home for lunch before a playdate at the park with my son's school friends in the afternoon.

I think the outfit bought me good luck while opshopping, as both the striped Coca-Cola logo tee and the black ruffle hem maxi skirt are thrift finds! I liked the navy striped tee with the black maxi skirt and the black Rebecca Minkoff studded unlined tote bag carried everything we needed for the day easily!



How You Can Wear It:

A striped tee is a wardrobe staple and it looks great with a block colour maxi skirt for a simple summer outfit!

Printed Tee Dresses and Colourful Crossbody Bags

Two more easy outfits for hot spring days here in Brisbane: printed tee dresses, sneakers and crossbody bags. Nice and simple!


What I wore:

tropical floral print green tee dress with burgundy crossbody bag converse | awayfromblue

floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy | awayfromtheblue


DressAtmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

This was a rare kid free day! I had quite a few errands to run and yet still found time for a sneaky little massage to successfully tackle the back pain I'd been having. I even managed to film a couple more videos for my YouTube channel. While I do occasionally film some videos and put them up within a couple of days, most of my content on YouTube is scheduled in advance (just like my blog posts) so it's always nice to have a few more videos filmed to pad out the schedule.

This green tropical floral print tee dress is a really fun one to wear - it's a beautiful print and nice and light on a hot day. I haven't tried burgundy with it before, but I thought this burgundy Avery crossbody bag complimented the red in the print nicely even though it was a different shade. And as I was by myself I didn't need to carry more than my wallet, keys, mask, phone and hand sanitiser so this bag was perfect for that.


Last worn: floral print tee dress, black Converse, burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody.

Other ways to wearfloral print tee dress layered for winter, black Converse and maxi skirt, burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and little black dress.

BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta


Why I wore it:

This was another really hot day! We took the kids out to the local park and since hubby came he carried the backpack with the snacks and water bottles in it. I just had this little Edie crossbody bag to keep all my essentials on me that I'd worn the day before.

Aside from the morning at the park and a little stroll, scoot and bike around the trail we didn't have anything planned so an easy throw on and go dress and comfortable sneakers for all the walking was ideal. I did add the necklace to try make it look like I put a little effort into this outfit, but really I just wanted something easy and comfortable and this was perfect.

Thrifted Orange Skirts and Kisschasy Band Tees

Easy outfits for warmer Spring days a few weeks ago. Featuring two very similarly coloured orange maxi skirts that are both lucky opshop finds! Wearing them with sneakers and some old Kisschasy band tees.


What I wore:

kisschasy casette tape band tee blue with mini MAC bag and ochre maxi skirt sneakers | awayfromblue

orange ochre maxi skirt with blue Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag | awayfromtheblue



Tee: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

This was a causal outfit for a fun playdate at the park. Took my youngest along so he could meet some of his future classmates, as he starts school next year! Time is flying by. It was really nice that there were some other Kindy mums and a few of his Kindy friends there, hopefully they will all be in the same class at school for Prep. Wanted to be comfortable so I went with this long ochre maxi skirt. The kind of piece that was perfect for chatting with the other parents while also running around in the playground at times with my son.

Because I love orange and blue together, decided to give this old Kisschasy band tee another wear. It made me feel a little old though, when my son pointed out that what is rather obvious to me cassette tape wheels looked like car tires. 😂 Just obsolete technology! Unfortunately his interest in the tee and a little bit of shyness at all the new friends meant I ended up covered in strawberry stains and ended up having to get changed before our BBQ that evening.

Couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with the blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag with this too, and I was pleased I'd picked the Adidas Superstar sneakers to wear as they were really comfortable.





What I wore:

Kisschasy bones and skin tour tee with thrifted rust ruffle mini skirt converse burgundy avery crossbody bag converse | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy with rust ruffle mini skirt | awayfromtheblue



Tee: band tee from KissChasy "Bones and skin" tour
Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

How cute is this skirt? It was just $1 at the opshop so I couldn't say no, even though it's such a similar colour to the maxi skirt above. Such a good thrift find. Paired with a little crossbody bag, Converse and another Kisschasy band tee, it did feel a little like an outfit teenage me would have worn. But I loved it! The ruffles on this skirt made me happy for a quiet day with the school run, a couple errands, and a trip to the library.

This Kisschasy band tee was from their 2008 Bones and Skin tour, when my sister got injured during the gig and we ended up watching the rest from the TVs at the side of the bar getting basic first aid and then spending the night at hospital. Definitely an eventful show! I'd bought the tee before the show started and was wearing it in the hospital where the doctor already figured out where we had been from my tee as she loved the song too! It definitely fits a little tighter now 13 years later than it did pre-babies and in my teen years so I'm not sure I'll wear this again. It's gone back into my big box of various band tees (I used to buy one from every gig) as a memento instead, as that was definitely a night to remember!

The skirt is definitely staying in my regular wardrobe rotation though - adorable with Converse and I like the burnt orange with the burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.


Last worn: Kisschasy Bones and Skin band tee, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody. First time I've worn the rust ruffle skirt as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wearKisschasy Bones and Skin band tee and gold jeans, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and little black dress.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.



How You Can Wear It:

Band tees are a wardrobe essential for many - they look great with jeans, but it's easy to mix it up a little and try them with a skirt instead - maxi or mini.
