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.

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.

What I Wore For Christmas Day, Eve and Boxing Day

Finally getting around to sharing what I wore for Christmas! Always feels strange sharing Christmas outfits in January, but I'm never to up to date with blogging what I've worn. I hosted Christmas for the family this year so I'm sharing my Christmas eve and Christmas day outfits, as well as what I wore to the in-laws when we celebrated with that side of the family on Boxing day.


What I wore:




Earrings: gold angel stud earrings (Christmas present)
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace (Christmas present)
Dress: Iris Maxi The Label flora print blue and white mini dress (Christmas present)
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides (Christmas present)
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

I had planned my Christmas outfit in advance, and then I unwrapped this dress on Christmas day from my sister and knew I just had to wear this instead! It does come with a belt (and has belt loops on the side) but I figured for Christmas day feasting it was best to wear it unbelted. This was beautiful, light and flowy and oh so perfect for a humid Christmas. We were very lucky to avoid major damage from the Christmas day storms that evening.

The sandals and the necklace are both new, from my parents. The Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch is an old favourite, especially for Christmas. I didn't really need a bag as we stayed home, enjoying time with the family, eating yummy food, only minorly burning the lunch, and watching the kids enjoy all their new toys and presents.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch. First time I've worn the dress, necklace and sandals as they were Christmas presents.

Other ways to wearRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and maxi dress.



What Fits Inside: Rebecca Minkoff Leo Envelope Clutch








What I wore:




Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Tee: festive glitter Santa tee
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagMulberry Lily in maroon metallic suede leopard


Why I wore it:

I wore this for Christmas eve. My sister bought my mum and I these festive tees 10 years ago, they are still going strong! It's a nice tradition to get to wear it. Sadly, the little festive bracelets haven't fared so well and mine is getting harder to wear as the elastic dries out.

As well as baking and decorating a huge pile of Christmas cookies, we made some Christmas deserts, ate lots of snacks, and spent our time doing Christmas craft and watching Christmas movies. It was a really fun way to spend Christmas eve and I look forward to this each year - it's such a special day. Somehow preparing all the food for Christmas eve seems less stressful than preparing Christmas day lunch!

This year we got a make your own Christmas earring kit for one of our crafts and had a lot of fun with it - quite pleased with some of the pieces I made! My mum, sister and I all have matching handmade earrings now.


Last worn: festive Santa tee, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Mulberry leopard print Lily bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a recent purchase.

Other ways to wearfestive Santa tee and shorts, striped maxi skirt and denim jacket, Mulberry leopard print Lily bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancyfestive Santa tee in second trimester.







What I wore:




Earrings: DIY green clay Christmas tree earrings
NecklaceStarfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus Polka Luka resin bangles in red, orange and teal
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

This is another more casual Christmas outfit! I wore this to go celebrate Christmas with the in-laws on Boxing day. They have their celebration a day later which works out well for everyone. It was a bit of an eventful day, with the Boxing Day storms. It had been a little rumbly and there was some rain for most of the day, but it wasn't too bad until the next wave of storms came over bringing hail. Lots of scrambling to try cover up the cars as with everyone there we couldn't all fit in the garage. Luckily, the hail didn't get big enough to cause any damage. It did make for an interesting drive home later that night though, with debris all over the roads and power and traffic light outages. I somehow also managed to cover the back of my dress in mud - unsure if it was when I was putting the cover on the car in the hail or taking it off after the storm, but thankfully it's all washed out.

As it was such a hot and humid day, again I changed up what I planned to wear and went with this super light tiered sundress. I've added red and green to it before and think the colours work surprisingly well with the orange palm print. So I added the green beaded necklace, red and teal resin bracelet stack, and although it's a little tricky to see, my new Christmas tree earrings I'd made a couple days before on Christmas eve. I thought they matched the necklace nicely. I also wore my new sandals again. The Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch got another wear, as I didn't need to carry much, just the essentials. I had a separate bag for our snack contributions to add to the festive food spread.


Last worn: tiered sundress, green necklace, resin bracelet stack, sandals (above), Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch (above). First time I've worn the earrings as I made them on Christmas eve.

Other ways to weartiered sundress layered with a knit, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and pink dress.




Hopefully you had a fun Christmas with your loved ones, and were not impacted by any of the storms.

Navy Dresses And Metallic Accessories

Wearing two navy dresses with metallic accessories for two different spring days recently.


What I wore:




Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Polka Luka resin bangles in red and yellow and orange
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

We spent the afternoon down the coast with my parents, so I dressed up this go-to floral print Jaase dress with the metallic gold envelope clutch and the rose gold sandals. Even though the shades of gold don't match I felt they were far enough apart that they worked. I hadn't worn these resin bracelets for a while so got them out again - I liked the yellow, red and orange as it was similar to the autumn leaves in the print of the dress.

Instead of adding a necklace, just went with some large but slightly hard to see earrings, these circular ones are a lovely mix of neutrals but it means they get a bit hidden in my hair!


Last worn: Jaase dress, round earrings, resin bracelets, gold sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch.
 
Other ways to wearJaase dress and denim jacket, gold sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and maxi dress.






What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted silver and turquoise multi strand necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Why I wore it:

This was a much busier day than the day above! I changed my hours for working from home so I could start and finish up a little earlier - had to take Cooper to the vets and then I had to pick the kids up from school to take them to the dentist in the afternoon. Needed a nice simple outfit, so went with this Kmart navy tiered dress that I'm surprised hasn't been worn more recently, I love it!

Just like the outfit above, I added metallic accessories with the silver Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and the silver necklace. Comfortable sneakers with the Adidas Superstar for a bit of driving around, and the denim jacket because it was a little too cold a spring day to wear this short sleeve dress with bare arms and legs.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, silver necklace, navy tiered dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, silver mini MAC.

Other ways to weardenim moto jacket and skirt, navy tiered dress and duster, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, silver mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancysilver mini MAC in third trimester.

What I Wore For Christmas: Coral Dresses and Gold Clutch | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing what I wore for Christmas, even though it was one  weekend. Wearing two beautiful coral Kmart dresses that my mum got me this year (one of which I got for Christmas) to celebrate Christmas Day at our house, and then another for a Boxing Day celebration with the in-laws.


What I wore:

summer christmas day outfit kmart tiered dress santa hat gold envelope clutch sandals | awayfromblue

coral tiered dress and Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold | awayfromtheblue


Hat: Santa hat (gift from my sister)
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

Christmas day started off far too early! The kids were up at 4.45am, ready to open all the presents, while I definitely could have slept a lot longer. There was no chance of getting up before them to get ready, so we hung out in our pyjamas and then after the present opening and a relaxed breakfast we all got dressed for the day. I'd planned to wear this pretty coral dress as I knew it would look so nice with this statement metallic necklace and the champagne gold envelope clutch.

We were aiming to get to church, but with my son being in hospital on Christmas eve we decided it was best to stay home. Definitely worth getting dressed up still though, I'd been planning this outfit for so long. I really liked it, even if I didn't get to wear it outside (other then the trip to the bin with the discarded wrapping paper!). It made me smile that my sister was wearing a red dress too, although I forgot to grab a photo of us together.

I definitely did a better job of cooking Christmas dinner than the first attempt I had a few years ago, but there is still room for improvement! Cooking is not my strong skill, but it was edible and people had seconds, which is a win. The leftovers kept us fed for a couple days after too!



What I wore:

Kmart red flora printed wrap dress, studded sandals and gold envelope clutch christmas outfit | awayfromblue

Kmart red flora printed wrap dress, bracelet stack adn Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold | awayfromblue


Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold


Why I wore it:

Again this year we had a delayed Christmas celebration at the in-laws on Boxing Day. We had been shopping in Kmart a few months ago when I spotted this dress on the sales rack and mum grabbed it for me - when I unwrapped it I knew it would be perfect for our second Christmas! Even though Christmas at the in-laws is more relaxed, I felt this pretty coral print wrap dress fitted in nicely, and again I wore my little gold envelope clutch as it goes with everything.

It's sadly hard to see the earrings in the photo, but I'm wearing the gold resin earrings my mum got me for Christmas too.


Last worn: charm necklace, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch (above), studded sandals. First time I've worn the dress and the earrings as they were Christmas gifts.

Other ways to wearRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and mint dressstudded sandals worn 30 ways.


How You Can Wear It:

A little red dress will always work for a summer Christmas - but coral dresses work too, as you can see in these outfits! Adding some metallic accessories is a nice way to dress up for a more formal Christmas celebration.

What I Wore For Christmas: Maxi Dresses and Leo Envelope Clutch | Weekday Wear Link Up

Happy New Year! For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing my Christmas outfits, even though Christmas was on the weekend. It just feels a little funny sharing Christmas outfits in January so I try share them as early in the month as possible. We spent Christmas day with my family on the coast, then back up to Brisbane to celebrate Christmas on Boxing day with the in-laws.


What I wore:

Christmas day outfit summer brisbane pink and purple printed maxi dress with gold sandals rebecca minkoff envelope clutch bag | awayfromblue

pink and purple printed maxi dress with silver bracelet stack and Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold  | awayfromtheblue

awayfromtheblue Instagram | Christmas day outfit pink purple printed halter maxi dress with rebecca minkoff leo envelope clutch

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Jeanswest Gigi printed maxi dress in shorter length (c/o)
ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

This was what I wore on Christmas day. I got this dress back in 2015 but surprisingly I haven't worn it for Christmas day before! I knew that this year I wanted to wear an older dress from my wardrobe, just like I did last Christmas, and since this hadn't been worn at Christmas before it was the perfect choice! It was one of the two options I had last year but I went with a different dress then, so it was good to get this out for Christmas this year. I didn't manage to take my traditional pic of my outfit in front of the tree before the kids got up as they were up so early, please excuse some scattered unwrapped gifts on the floor!

As usual, my family all dresses up for a day filled with family, food and presents. Since the colourful pink and purple print on this dress is pretty bold on its own I kept the accessories simple, with silver statement earrings, my usual dressy bracelet additions, and my silver cuff. I did wonder if the champagne gold envelope clutch was the best choice with the rest of my accessories being silver, but it was the perfect completer piece with my outfit when I tried it with the dress. And to be honest I just needed somewhere to stash my keys, phone and wallet, as we had a couple of bags of presents to take to my family and I put my camera in there.

As usual I ate so much good food, got spoiled with gifts, and had a wonderful Christmas day with family! 

Last worn: Gigi printed maxi dress, silver leaf earrings, rose gold sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch.

Other ways to wearGigi printed maxi dress in winter, rose gold sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and mint maxi.

Perfect for pregnancyGigi printed maxi dress in second trimester.


What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo Envelope Clutch

ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

Christmas at the in-laws is much more relaxed, but a maxi dress is still a good outfit choice! This one is another wardrobe oldie, also from 2015, and an opshop find. I got it in a bag of clothing in the "fill a bag for $2" sale so I'm definitely getting my money's worth from it! This is its 16th wear. I did try dress it up a little with the gold beaded necklace, but I kept the earrings simple with little heart studs.

Again I went with my little Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch - with the gold necklace and sandals I thought it complimented this outfit really well also. I had a little space in the bag of presents to fit my camera so I only needed the clutch for the essentials.

The black maxi dress probably wasn't the best choice though, got covered in dog hair almost instantly 😅 Cooper is a Shih Tzu and doesn't shed so I'm always surprised by how much dog hair other dogs shed when we are with the family. 😅


Last worn: black halter maxi dress, heart earrings, gold necklace, rose gold sandals (above), Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch (above).

Other ways to wearblack halter maxi dress and kimono, rose gold sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and pink dress.



How You Can Wear It:

A maxi dress is an easy outfit option for a hot Christmas! You can dress it up with lots of statement accessories, metallics are always a good choice. Metallic pieces are always good at any time of year, not just Christmas.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Tiered Kmart Dresses and Clutch Bags

Enjoying the last warm days of summer back in February when I wore these, wearing some Kmart tiered dresses with some clutch bags. One a more dressy outfit for the Lunar New year, the other a more casual one for a day with my sister.


What I wore:

Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress with blue resin necklace and rebecca minkoff champagne gold leo envelope clutch | awayfromblue

floral maxi dress with Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold  | awayfromtheblue

Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress with rebecca minkoff champagne gold leo envelope clutch | awayfromblue Instagram

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: Polka Luka Paradiso triple strand resin necklace transparent cobalt
Dress: Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress
ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

While it's traditional to wear something new and add a bit of red and gold for Lunar new year, I'd worn all my new clothes I got for Christmas or bought in January, so I went with all old favourite, this Kmart coral coloured floral print tiered maxi dress. Trying to get it closer to 30 wears, it's at 27 already. Not bad for a $25 Kmart buy, already under $1 a wear. While the dress wasn't new, the necklace was! I got it from my bestie for Christmas and I knew I wanted to wear it with this dress, it's such a good pairing for its first wear.

I wore my rose gold sandals and my champagne Rebecca Minkoff Leo clutch for a little touch of gold with my outfit - not that I really needed the clutch to go to the in laws for our traditional banquet, as we had the kids things in their usual backpack and I could have put my stuff in there. It just helped the outfit feel a little more dressed up to have a clutch. The red nail polish is the only touch of red in my outfit.




What I wore:

Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia with marc by marc jacobs convertible clutch worn crossbody and sneakers | away from blue

Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet | away from the blue


NecklaceHouse of Harlow 5 station necklace in black and silver
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
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:

This was a much more casual day so I tried to dress down this fuchsia pink Kmart tiered midi dress with my chunky Kmart platform sneakers I'd got the weekend before. Was also a good excuse to wear my newly thrifted purple bag, this Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch in electric violet. I got so lucky to find an authentic designer bag at the opshop, really pleased! Had to wear my old Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel bracelet too, a little bit of brand matchy-matchy although it matches the black and white in the Rebecca Minkoff embellished shoulder strap too.

I really liked the tiered fuchsia midi dress with the purple bag, and this was just the right thing for a busy day - I was parent helper at my son's school in the morning, then afterwards I went to the library and playground with my sister and the little one before lunch and picking up my son from school in the afternoon before sports in the evening. It was such a hot day so this loose oversized dress was perfect. Not so perfect for going down the slides with my son but it was hilarious to try!


Last worn: Kmart tiered midi dress, House of Harlow necklace, Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel bracelet, Kmart chunky platform sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff guitar strap, Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch.

Other ways to wearKmart tiered midi dress and teal bag, Kmart chunky platform sneakers and culottes, Rebecca Minkoff guitar strap on love bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch and shorts.



How You Can Wear It:


A tiered dress is great for a hot day - and easy to dress up or down! With a pretty clutch bag for a family dinner, or add a strap to the clutch to wear it crossbody and put on some sneakers to make a tiered dress more casual.

Kmart Tiered Midi Dresses - Dressed Up and Down | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm wearing these pretty Kmart tiered midi dresses again! They are so easy to dress up or dress down, as you can see by the different ways I've worn them here.


What I wore:

Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia pink with studded sandals beaded statement accessories and gold leo envelope clutch | away from blue

Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold  with magenta pink dress and bracelet stack | away from the blue

awayfromblue Instagram | kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in fuchsa with gold leo envelope clutch statement accessories


Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! We had a party at my parent's place, lots of laugher and good food, and I decided to dress up a little for the occasion. This fuchsia pink Kmart tiered midi dress is a statement on it's own, but I added the fun gold clutch and the statement earrings to make it a bit more formal.

These beaded earrings were a Christmas gift and I just couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy for their first wear with this beaded tassel necklace. Although the beaded tassel part is turquoise and gold I thought the cream stone and the other beads matched the cream and gold beaded earrings well. Added a couple of extra bracelets to my bracelet stack and because I didn't need to carry much I took the opportunity to give my Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch another wear!

Despite the rather windy and overcast day it didn't rain at all so we got to enjoy sitting outside in the afternoon before dinner. We drove away in the evening after making plans for some fun school holiday activities, all feeling good. The very next morning they announced a 3 day lockdown for Brisbane after there was a case of the virus outside of hotel quarantine. It was a bit of a shock after over 100 days without cases outside of quarantine, but it made me feel even more grateful we were able to have the catch up we did. I know that some countries have tougher restrictions again making big family meetups like we had impossible. Luckily there were no more cases and the lockdown was lifted at the end of the 3 days so our fun adventures we planned were still able to happen too.

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue
 

Why I wore it:

A much more casual way to wear this Kmart tiered midi dress! A very busy day, with lots of errands to run and sports in the evening, school shoe shopping and a fun trip to the library for the kids to pick up some new books. Kept it simple with the Adidas Superstar sneakers and carried all our water bottles in my trusty Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack. I like the bright blue against the amber of the dress and this bag fits everything we need so easily.

I had actually planned to wear this dress a little more dressed up just like the outfit above, with some statement earrings and cute sandals and a different bag for another party! We were due to go to a kids birthday party the weekend lockdown was announced, and after the 3 day lockdown was lifted visitor restrictions were back in place so the party couldn't go ahead the next week with the 20 person limit, as the whole kindy class was invited. Since I had been looking forward to wearing this dress again, I figured I'd wear it anyway, even just to run errands in, because the party was cancelled. I'm glad I gave it a wear, it does dress down so nicely.


Last worn: amber tiered midi dress, gold and navy beaded necklace, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack.
