Maxi Skirts, Navy Tees, Denim Jackets and Chloe Paraty Bag

Some spring maxi skirt outfits I wore recently, both with navy tees, denim jackets and blue bags. Both of these skirts were opshop finds.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This cotton maxi skirt was awesome on this hot day! It has pockets too which is always a winner. I wore it with another thrifted piece, this foil tee. I needed the denim jacket in the cooler morning, although when I was running errands later I'd taken it off, as the day warmed up so much!

The boys had a kid's birthday party and I also had a lot of errands to run. I wore the Chloe Paraty bag as I like the light periwinkle blue with both red and navy, and because it has room for all the essentials plus my latest library book for when I was waiting for an appointment between errands.

Last worn: denim jacket, statement necklace, navy foil tee, red tiered maxi skirt, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, navy foil tee and jeans, red tiered maxi skirt and leather jacket, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This orange maxi skirt is on that is frequently worn with blue. I like the navy tee with it, it's the first time I've worn the two together surprisingly. The denim moto jacket is a frequently worn piece with this skirt though, they look so good together.

Just like the day above I didn't need the denim jacket all day though, with the weather warming up nicely as the kids had a sports session.

The Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag added another shade of blue to this outfit and also has space for all my essentials plus my latest library book so it was an obvious choice to carry.

Last worn: denim jacket, bronze foil necklace, navy tee, ochre maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, navy tee and shorts, ochre maxi skirt and animal print, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and jeans.

Denim: Blue Dresses, Ankle Boots and Magenta Edie Crossbody Bag

I never tire of blue and pink together! I really like wearing this little magenta Edie crossbody bag with some of the many blue dresses in my wardrobe. Despite the different dresses here, I think it works so well with both!

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

Wore this for my May wardrobe clear out stall at Gladrags markets in Bulimba. It was a lot of fun. I made a lot more sales than my first market, and I ventured out of my stall a few times to wander through the hall. I ended up spending some of my earnings with the other sellers, but I got some great bargains too!

While this dress was maybe not the most practical choice for setting up my clothes racks, it was definitely very comfortable, and with the leather ankle boots the thick denim kept me cosy on a colder morning. I wasn't sure what necklace to wear with this, so opted for statement earrings instead.

Once again, the little Edie crossbody bag came in perfect for holding my essentials as well as a little cash float for my stall. I like how organised it is inside with the different compartments.

After my success at the markets that morning, I then took my son over to his friend's house for a playdate that afternoon.


Last worn: tiered denim dress, silver leaf earrings, black ankle boots, magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody.

Other ways to wear: tiered denim dress with red, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie Crossbody

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

Another day where it was warm enough to go bare-legged, even if I did have a slip under this dress and added the denim jacket on top for a little extra warmth! I liked this simple outfit for the school run and working from home. A dress is such an easy instant outfit, even when you do add an extra layer like a jacket to it.

I was also surprised to find that I haven't worn this magenta Edie crossbody bag with this navy printed dress before! I have worn this dress in the past with a lot of pink bags, but not this one yet, even though this dress is on its 28th wear. I'm hoping to do a 30 wears post with it later this year, when the weather is warm enough to get it out again!


Last worn: white denim jacket, Tiffany necklace, blue printed dress, tan ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and jeans, blue printed dress and sneakers, tan ankle boots and midi dress, magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy print dress in second trimester.

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:

Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: floral print tee dress layered for winter, black Converse and maxi skirt, burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and little black dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: floral print tee dress in second trimester, black Converse in third trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Dress:  Cotton On 'Tina' white striped tee dress in Lissy black / Gardenia
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca 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.


Last worn: striped tee dress, sunburst necklace, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: striped tee dress and purple bag, Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag worn 30 ways.

How You Can Wear It:

Spring Florals, Kimonos, Black Denim and Magenta Edie Crossbody Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sticking with staple spring outfit formulas for two outfits I wore at the end of September. Florals (groundbreaking!), kimonos, and black denim with Converse and my little Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag for an extra pop of colour.

What I wore:

Jacket: Shein lace trimmed crochet inset white kimono c/o
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Cami: H&M blue floral crinkle knot front button down cami
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! It was quite a hot day for spring (36 Celsius) so I was pleased I'd taken the opportunity to book the kids in for a play at an airconditioned indoor play place after my little one's sports in the morning. Despite it being a public holiday and the last day of the school holidays it wasn't too crowded either. Thankfully when we had more sports for the boys in the evening, without the AC, it had cooled off a lot!

The white crochet trim kimono was a nice light layer when we were outdoors and kept the chill off my shoulders from the aircon indoors too. I wore this kimono with this cami previously as well, it's a great combination. Managed with some help from my sister to figure out how to knot the front of the cami too, much prefer this over the poor attempt I made last time I wore this top, ha!

With the pretty blue floral print on the cami the blue Converse were a nice matchy-matchy option, and of course black denim shorts go with everything. The Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag in magenta was a fun pop of colour too.


Last worn: crochet trim kimono, silver necklace, floral knot front tank, black Bermuda denim shorts, blue Converse, magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

Other ways to wear: crochet trim kimono and maxi dress, floral knot front tank and jeans, black Bermuda denim shorts with olive, blue converse and striped dress, magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag worn 30 ways.

Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag Worn 30 Ways

---

What I wore:

Jacket:  Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

This was not such a fun day. With the rain that morning jeans were called for, and these black Nobody Denim skinny jeans worked well with the darker floral print on the kimono. The Converse were good for all the running around that morning too, and I think the magenta Edie bag was nice with the print. Even though it doesn't match the colours exactly, it goes well.

I'd booked the kids in for a school holiday event and we had some errands to run in the morning as well as books for us to take back to the library. It ended up being a little stressful trying to complete everything in time though and trying to make it a good day for the kids while my mind was on other things. I do try keep this blog fashion focused and frivolous (and so few people read what I write anyway) but while I tried to make it as normal a day as possible for the kids I was always conscious of getting home in time for lunch and giving myself enough time to change for a funeral that afternoon.

Thankfully I got home in time to eat and get changed before the funeral. By then the sun had came out and I had changed from this outfit and was just in a simple little black dress and a grey blazer, with a more subdued grey bag. I decided not to take any photos of that outfit.

Last worn: black floral kimono, clover necklace, metallic silver tank, black Nobody denim jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black floral kimono and shorts, metallic silver tank and pencil skirt, black Nobody denim jeans and blazer, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Black denim goes with everything - you can pair it with lighter florals like the first outfit, or darker florals like I have in the second outfit. It's the perfect neutral for any print.

30 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Magenta Edie Crossbody Bag

Featuring a beautiful bag for this month's 30 ways to wear post. One that illustrates perfectly how much of a challenge committing to wear something 30 times can be! Over a couple months I've been so sure I'd have hit 30 wears on this bag, I feel I wear it pretty regularly. But I've only just hit 33 wears with it. 30 wears can take a bit of time to achieve if you don't wear something daily, even something that's easily reworn without waiting for the laundry cycle, like a handbag!

30 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Magenta Edie Crossbody Bag

It's not the first time I've shared 30 ways to wear a pink bag, I think it's such a fun colour to accessorise with! And this magenta is definitely my favourite shade of pink, it goes with so much!

Cost Per Wear

I ordered this pretty little bag in the post-Christmas sales and got it in January 2019. It was reduced to $168.92 (including shipping), which I just couldn't resist as it retails for $330. At 33 wears, that brings it to $5.12 a wear which is much higher than the $1 a wear people aim for, but is pretty good cost per wear so far for a leather handbag. Considering it is still in amazing condition and something I don't ever see myself getting rid of I know I will hit $1 per wear eventually. I tend to see my bags as splurges that are always good value given how much they will be worn over their lifetime. Excited to keep wearing this for years to come!

Magenta Edie Bag With Blue Dresses

Honestly the reason I love magenta accessories so much is because of how well the colour goes with blue, and I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe. You'll see the blue and magenta combo in a lot of these outfits but I wanted to call out these 4 dress outfits specifically as a blue printed dress and pink bag is a staple outfit formula, and it shows how well the Edie bag works with different styles of dresses and different shades of blue.

Matching Handbag to Other Magenta Pieces In An Outfit

Matchy-matchy makes me happy! An easy way to wear a bold bag is to match it to something else in your outfit that's the same colour. That could be a scarf with a bit of magenta in it, a magenta necklace, or something with magenta in the print like the kimono. The magenta jeans and Edie crossbody bag together are a particularly bold combination.

Wearing a Magenta Bag With Different Shades of Pink

Despite my live of a matchy-matchy outfit, sometimes it's nice to try something a little different and wear the little magenta Edie bag with other shades of pink in an outfit. Blush and other shades of pastel pink pair nicely with the magenta bag. Even pastel pink so pale it kind of blends in with the white tee like in the maxi skirt outfit!

Magenta Bag As A Pop Of Colour In Outfits

Hands down the easiest way to wear a colourful bag, wear it as a pop of colour with your outfit. I do this a lot with my brighter bags. As you can see from these past outfits, the magenta Edie bag really pops against neutrals like black, white and grey.

Magenta Edie Bag Worn With Purple

Pink and purple are such fun colours together and these 5 outfits show how well this little magenta bag goes with different shades of purple. From larger pieces like a tee or jeans to smaller pieces like a scarf or in a print of a kimono, magenta and purple look great together.

Edie Crossbody Bag With Summer Shorts Outfits

A little crossbody bag like the Rebecca Minkoff Edie is a great choice in warmer weather. It's a good light bag and the long chain strap means it doesn't have to get all caught up in your armpit a hot day like a shoulder bag would 😅 Plus this bag just looks great with shorts and magenta is a lovely colour for summer.

Magenta Edie Bag With Blue Winter Outfits

Of course I like to wear my bags year round and just as the Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag works in summer with shorts like I showed above, it works well with winter layers too. A colourful bag can inject a bit of brightness to a winter outfit. In most of these outfits you'll notice that I'm wearing the blue and magenta colour combo again too. It really works and is such a staple for me.

Purple and Prints: Jeans and Tee Outfits With Cardigans and Magenta Bags

Two kind of similar jeans and tee outfits I wore recently with prints, purple, cardigans, and magenta bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Jeans:  Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet with Rebecca Minkoff Crystal Star Shoulder Guitar strap

Why I wore it:

Not entirely sure that this outfit worked. I love all the pieces separately, but together I just wasn't feeling it. I wanted this purple tee to bring a bit of colour for a zoom call I had that day, and the cardigan was a good choice for both the school run and being comfortable while working from home.

I'd thought about wearing a statement necklace or pair of earrings the night before but hadn't actually decided what I'd go with. I ran out of time trying a couple options that morning so settled on classic silver with this Tiffany heart necklace and the silver dangly leaf earrings. The earrings feel a bit dressy for such a casual outfit, but they worked well to make me feel pulled together for my long zoom call during the day. I did however take them off for the school run - with mask rules in place in Brisbane meaning I need to wear masks indoors and when dropping off or picking up the kids. It's easier to take masks off and on without statement earrings like this!

I thought this Marc By Marc Jacobs bag would be nice as I really didn't have to carry much - just the essentials, and it has a main compartment for my wallet and phone, a pocket for car keys, a pocket for hand sanitiser and a front pocket for my mask! Perfect. I really like how it looks with the lilac tee too.


Last worn: grey cardigan, silver earrings, heart necklace, purple tee, chevron print skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff bag strap, Marc By Marc Jacobs convertible clutch.

Other ways to wear: grey cardigan and flared jeans, purple tee and maxi skirt, chevron print skinny jeans with pink and purple, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff bag strap on love bag, Marc By Marc Jacobs convertible clutch and midi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Authentic Designer Bag Find At The Opshop

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Chanel necklace layered with Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Tee: Kmart grey leopard print tee
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

I liked the colours of the outfit above, so repeated it again a couple of days later. And repeated the Converse too! This time I wore the Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag in magenta, purple jeans and a printed top. I noticed this old grey leopard print tee in my wardrobe and realised it was overdue a wear! It was a bargain $2 sale find in winter 2019, but this is only it's fifth wear since I bought it. Not bad at 40 cents a wear, but I really should wear it more. I thought the grey leopard print looked good with the navy cardigan and purple jeans.

Tried a little necklace layering too with the round neck letting me pair two shorter silver necklaces together, instead of a big long statement necklace as I'd usually wear. Not a huge difference but nice to try a little departure from my regular accessorising!

Was a quiet day so this was a really comfortable outfit for it - school run in the morning, some errands and an appointment with the little one afterwards, and our regular library run too.


Last worn: navy cardigan, diamond necklace, Chanel necklace, grey leopard print tee, purple skinny jeans, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: navy cardigan and shorts, grey leopard print tee with mustard, purple skinny jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag and printed shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple jeans in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It

Knits and Printed Maxi Skirts | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing some comfortable outfits for making the most of the end of winter weather back in August. Squeezing in another wearing of some cosy winter knits with printed maxi skirts before it warmed up too much with spring days away.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: layered Tai gold alphabet necklaces
Knit: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Skirt: thrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was a really foggy morning after a rainy evening the day before. We had a very small (due to Covid restrictions in place at the time) birthday party in the park to attend for my son's friend. Being by the bay I didn't want to be too cold if the clouds stuck around and there was a lot of breeze off the water, but I didn't want to overheat if the sun came out either. I figured the open knit of this ombre jumper was a good compromise. The sun came out just after we left the house though and it turned into a really warm day! I kinda regretted wearing the jumper!

I thought the ombre would be an interesting pairing with the print on the maxi skirt too, the neutral knit balancing it out so it didn't look too bold. Changed my mind a couple times before going ahead, but in the end even if the knit was a little warm I'm glad I tried something a little different with this skirt!

The Chloe Ethel was perfectly sized for carrying everything I needed - it fits so much inside! I also had a big green bag though for the picnic blanket, jumpers for the boys in case it was cold (that they ended up not needing at all), and a book for me to read after the party while the kids played in the playground.


Last worn: gold heart earrings, ombre knit, initial necklaces, red printed maxi skirt, black Converse, Chloe Ethel.

Other ways to wear: ombre knit worn two ways, red printed maxi skirt worn 30 ways, black Converse and shorts, Chloe Ethel and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: ombre knit at 40 weeks, black Converse in second trimester.

Choosing A Handbag for Every Occasion Tag

---

What I wore:

Necklace: silver heart long pendant necklace
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

Much like the day before this was a foggy start to the morning and it warmed up much more than I expected! Ended up taking my jumper off as I sat in the back garden while the little one played. It was a quiet day at home really. My eldest boy had an event on most of the day so I was grateful for the jumper in the cooler morning when I dropped him off, and in the afternoon when I picked him up.

As I didn't have much to do or many places to be I wore my cute little Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag again - it's a good size for the essentials like phone, wallet, mask, keys and hand sanitiser. I really like the way it pops with the cobalt knit too!

This grey pinstripe maxi skirt is an incredibly comfortable one - I knew it was overdue a wear but I was shocked to see I hadn't worn it since 2020! Definitely needs to be worn more, I love the cut, so different from all my other maxi skirts. Like the cobalt knit, it was an opshop find too and another thrift bargain.


Last worn: cobalt knit, silver heart necklace, grey stripe maxi skirt, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt knit and jeans, grey stripe maxi skirt and striped scarf, black Converse in the office, Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie crossbody bag and culottes.

Perfect for pregnancy: cobalt marl knit and hidden baby bump, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It

Maxi skirts and jumpers are cosy and comfortable for winter days. Try a neutral knit and a colourful skirt, or vice versa, for an easy outfit.
