Tiered Denim Dresses With Pink Scarves And Bags

Sticking with easily repeatable outfit formulas again, pairing my two tiered denim dresses with pink scarves and Rebecca Minkoff bags recently.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl zesty stripe tassel scarf in pink
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I really loved this outfit! It was perfect for winter as although my knees were bare the tall boots kept my legs warm, and with a slip under the denim dress and the pink striped scarf I was nice and cosy. The berry pink of the Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag doesn't match the colours in the scarf exactly, but I liked the two accessories together against the pale denim dress. Really need to wear this dress more, before it heats up too much for it!

This was a nice easy and colourful outfit for the school run and working from home.


Last worn: striped scarf, Target denim dress, knee high boots, Rebecca Minkoff berry MAC.

Other ways to wear: striped scarf and skirt, Target denim dress with red, knee high boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff berry MAC and jeans.

What I wore:

Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

First wearing of this denim tiered maxi dress my mum picked up for me when we were shopping at Kmart recently. It's a really thick and cosy denim, so I went bare armed for a morning in the sun taking part in a citizen science event with the kids. It warmed up quite a lot, after the fog of the morning lifted and I was considering removing the scarf. It was nice to have on in the air-conditioning in the afternoon though when we went to a kids birthday party.

I really like the ombre pink scarf with the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag I redyed, even though just like in the outfit above the pink in the scarf and bag don't match exactly.

With the long line of this denim maxi dress I thought I'd try just a simple crossover scarf and leave it long and loose - something a little different but I liked the long line the scarf created with this dress.


Last worn: pink ombre scarf, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent wardrobe addition.

Other ways to wear: pink ombre scarf and jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag with black and white outfit.

Printed Dresses and Prune MAC Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

A super hot week in Spring meant pulling out some easy printed dress outfits for the office! Skipped the blazers with these dresses as they both feel pretty work appropriate to me, and it was really more like summer temperatures and too hot to think about that extra layer anyway.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Aztec print dress
Belt: embossed tan leather belt from my Mum's wardrobe
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

Haven't worn this navy Ikat print dress in a while which is a shame! It used to be an office staple pre-pandemic so it was great to get it out again, I really enjoyed wearing it! I do love belting it, and it looks great with this belt from my mum's wardrobe.

Had a hard time picking a necklace with the big embossed belt, decided on this little clay bead one and I just shortened the adjustable string to wear it a little higher around the neckline of the dress.

I liked the prune MAC bag with this - such a great pop of colour against the blues and neutral shades in the dress.


Last worn: Ikat print dress, beaded necklace, embossed leather belt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC.

Other ways to wear: Ikat print dress and scarf, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and double denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: Ikat print dress in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace plus Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Leona Edmiston Jemima fern print dress
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

This dress is another old office staple that's been neglected post-pandemic! I kept all my office wear from when I used to work in the office more regularly, but with only going in around twice a week it's hard to decide what pieces to wear! It was good to get this one out again. It always looks so professional, especially paired with classic black ballet flats.

I added layered necklaces to accessorise this a little, but really the printed dress makes the outfit feel pulled together enough on its own. Even though the prune bag doesn't match the blush pink shades in the print of the dress, I really liked the two together. Although definitely not as much as I did paired with the dress in the first outfit.


Last worn: Leona Edmiston printed dress, Tiffany heart necklaces, black ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: Leona Edmiston printed dress in winter, black ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Leona Edmiston dress in second trimester, black ballet flats in second trimester.

Pink, Prints and Tank Outfits

Sharing two skirt outfits I wore recently with a few of my new purchases in March. Both have a pop of pink and some prints, but very different formulas and colours.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up (new purchase)
Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
 (new purchase)
Tank: Asos satin singlet in pink
Skirt: Target classic denim skirt in white
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

I found this cover up on the scarf rack at the opshop! I loved the colours and tassels. It was as I pulled it off the scarf hook I realised it was actually a cover up - and so was definitely coming home with me! Such a fun and colourful piece, and just $1! I was thinking about a nice neutral top to pair with it when I saw this hot pink satin tank in my wardrobe and realised it would look great with the turquoise. There is a bit of purple and red in the print, but no pink. I still think the hot pink and turquoise really popped together!

The neutral white denim skirt, another of my March buys, was a perfect pairing with all of that colour. And I couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with my accessories - the aqua mini MAC bag matching the turquoise in the print, and the tassel necklace matching the tassels on the hem.

Nice and colourful for a regular day with the school run, working from home, and a couple of errands.


Last worn: pink satin tank, white denim skirt, Havaianas, aquamarine mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the cover up and the tassel necklace as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: pink satin tank and jeans, white denim skirt and green duster, aquamarine mini MAC bag with orange skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: aquamarine mini MAC bag in third trimester.

My Rebecca Minkoff Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace

Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

This was another very rare kid-free day off! I have had a few more lately as I worked a few weekends and earned that time off during the week. After taking the kids to school I had time for a little opshop browse (where I got the pieces in the outfit above) and I spent some time with my mum before we picked up the kids from school in the afternoon.

I wanted to wear this cute leopard print skirt I got from Target again. I really like pink and leopard together, I wore this skirt with pink last time I wore it too. The magenta Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag was a deeper pink with it, and I really liked it. The silver tank felt a little plain though, so I added this black statement necklace which matched the black in the leopard print and I think it really completed the outfit.


Last worn: silver tank, statement wooden necklace, leopard print ruffle hem skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff MAC.

Other ways to wear: silver tank and printed jeans, leopard print ruffle hem skirt and pastel pink, studded sandals and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAC and double denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

Magenta Bags With Floral Cover Ups And Black And White Shorts Outfits | Weekday Wear Link Up

Happy New Year! 

For today's Weekday wear Link up, two simple tank and shorts outfits from December. Adding a little more colour with magenta bags, and some print and physical sunblock shoulder coverage with floral cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Supre black sheer floral kimono
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Shorts: Jeanswest Sara distressed hot short
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I wore this cover up, it was definitely due another wear! With the metallic tank that always looks quite white in pics, black and white Converse and the black denim shorts, it was a bit of a monochromatic outfit. This dark floral print was a great way to add a little more colour, and I liked the pinks and purples in the floral print with the magenta Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag.

Also carried a big Woolies tote with this for a picnic blanket and some snacks for a fun playdate in the park that morning. It was a busy day as we had a Christmas event in the evening, but I changed into a different outfit for that.


Last worn: dark floral cover up, black necklace, metallic tank, black denim shorts, Converse, prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC.

Other ways to wear: dark floral cover up with pink and purple, metallic tank and printed jeans, black denim shorts and printed tee, Converse and jeans, prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC and dress.

30 Ways to Wear a Magenta Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Tank: Zalora basics ruffle hem tank in black
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit, but it was not the best one for the day. The magenta bag was a wonderful pop of colour against the blue printed cape and the black and white outfit. I liked the extra detail from the little peplum hem on the tank too. The sneakers were very comfortable for a day with a bit of driving around as well.

We'd had a late night the night before, and an early start for a fun STEM event I'd signed the kids up for in the school holidays. Then it was home for a quick lunch before heading out again to a bike riding workshop in the park. It was so much fun watching my son master some really tricky things, although I'd forgotten to get the picnic blanket out of the car and worried the whole time I sat on the grass watching that I was going to stain my white shorts, haha! Thankfully the shorts made it though mud and grass free, but probably should have picked another pair of shorts to wear to ease that worry.


Last worn: blue floral print cape, sunburst necklace, black peplum tank, white Bermuda shorts, New Balance sneakers, Marc By Marc Jacobs convertible clutch.

Other ways to wear: blue floral print cape and pink shorts, black peplum tank and pencil skirt, white Bermuda shorts and duster, Marc By Marc Jacobs convertible clutch in thrifted outfit.

Perfect for pregnancy: black peplum tank and hidden baby bump.

How You Can Wear It:

Black and white outfits are always a classic fail safe colour combination to try. You can always add more colour to a base outfit in these shades with a printed cover up or a bright bag, or by wearing both, as I have in these outfits.

Apologies for the lack of a Weekday Wear Link up last week. I didn't get around to scheduling this post in advance as I'd usually do so the blog was a bit silent over Christmas as my son was unexpectedly unwell. Now he's feeling better I have a little more time to catch up with posts.

Monochrome Maxi Skirt Outfits With Contrasting Crossbody Bag

Blue is my favourite colour and my go-to when I need a bit of an extra boost. I wore all the blue in these outfits, with some blue thrifted knits and blue printed maxi skirts. Added the prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag the boys got me for mothers day as the perfect pop of colour.

What I wore:

Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper  
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

This was all about being comfortable! With the school run and working from home I wanted something cute and cosy, and this was perfect! I was eager to try winterise this maxi skirt, which is a great piece in summer but the side-slit would normally make me pass over it in winter. Decided to try my knee high leather boots underneath so there was no bare leg to deal with the winter chill and it worked really well! So much that I tried the boots and side split maxi skirt outfit combo again a couple days later, as you can see below.


Last worn: cobalt knit, tie dye maxi skirt, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC.

Other ways to wear: cobalt knit and printed jeans, tie dye maxi skirt and red tee, tan boots and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and double denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: cobalt knit in first trimester.

What I wore:

Jumper: thrifted blue Kmart stitch detail knit
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

What a day this was! It was a lot colder than expected so even with the knee high tan boots on under this maxi skirt, I really felt the breeze from the side splits in the skirt! Thankfully the stich detail knit kept me cosy on top. We headed out to an opshop (thrift store/charity shop) to drop off some donations, because I'd thought they were also having a special weekend sale day. I was very surprised to get there and find the opshop closed. And the kids were unimpressed as they were looking forward to a good rummage through the books!

Luckily they have a donation bin so we could still drop off when they were closed, but it was a much shorter trip than expected. It was only later in the afternoon that I went to look up the event on Facebook and realised that I'd got mixed up, and it was another local opshop that had a sale day! We will just have to catch the next one.

With the pink and turquoise floral print on this maxi skirt, I wasn't sure the prune MAC bag would be a good accessory with it, but just like above I think the deep magenta shade actually worked really well with this skirt. Will have to wear them together again soon, just maybe on a warmer day!


Last worn: blue knit, floral maxi skirt, tan boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC.

Other ways to wear: blue knit and jeans, floral maxi skirt with pink tee, tan boots and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and printed dress.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Pairing two pieces of clothing together in your favourite colour is an easy and mood-boosting way to come up with a tonal outfit. And if one of the pieces you want to wear is a summer maxi skirt, try layering up a little with knee high boots and a cosy knit.

Pink and Purple: Jeans and Floral Kimono Outfits | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two more skinny jeans and kimono outfits. Taking advantage of the winter weather in Brisbane reverting to more seasonably expected warmer temps back in June to go partially bare-armed. Both these outfits have floral kimonos, purple, and my little prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! I wasn't sure about the black space dye peplum tee with the grey skinny jeans and black Converse - it was a lot of neutrals! But even though the dark floral kimono has a black background I think the purple floral print added the perfect amount of colour to this outfit. Especially with the lilac necklace and the prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag.

With the neutral tonal black/grey column underneath I think the different shades of purple and magenta and lilac with the kimono and accessories worked really nicely in this outfit. Perfect for the school run, working from home, and sports for the kids in the evening.


Last worn: purple floral kimono, lilac necklace, space dye peplum tee, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC.

Other ways to wear: purple floral kimono and skirt, space dye peplum tee and red jeans, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and double denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff MAC Unboxing:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I realised I hadn't worn these purple skinny jeans in a while and that they were definitely overdue another wear! Surprisingly I hadn't yet worn them with the tropical floral print duster. I liked wearing my lilac tee with this duster so it's strange it's taken me so long to put the jeans together with them!

With all the colours in the floral print, the magenta Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag and the purple jeans, I kept it simple with just a plain grey tee. I considered a scarf with this as it was a bit of a windy day, but it was warm and sunny so I went with a necklace instead. I liked this easy outfit!


Last worn: tropical floral print kimono, wooden bead necklace, grey tee, purple skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print kimono over a dress, grey tee and shorts, purple skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and navy dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A floral print kimono is a great topper with jeans and a tee - and you can add even more colour to your outfit with a bright accessory like this prune MAC bag.

Printed Dresses and Prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC Bag

Sharing two navy dresses and ankle boots outfits I wore back in May, accessorised with this adorable prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC that I got for Mother's Day.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus pearl and rose gold bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

Wore this to spend Mother's Day down the coast with my family. It was such a fun day and thankfully the middle of the day was rain free so we got to spend a little time outdoors too. I had to wear this new Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag that the boys got me for Mother's Day - I couldn't believe it when I found this discontinued style on eBay, brand new with tags! Convinced hubby I needed it for Mother's Day 😂 The little pom pom tassel charm on it is a cute keyring that the kids got me from the Mother's Day shopping stall at school too.

Although the bag doesn't match the print in this dress I thought it complimented the oranges and reds in the autumn leaf print nicely. And the tan ankle boots were a perfect bit of matchy-matchy with the dress print!


Last worn: Jasse autumn leaves dress, gold necklace, bracelet stack, tan ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC.

Other ways to wear: Jasse autumn leaves dress and sneakers, tan ankle boots and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and double denim.

Rebecca Minkoff Reveal:

---

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl black and white cheetah print scarf
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus old beaded black bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

This was a much quieter weekend day, but again I went with a navy printed dress and the prune MAC for a pop of colour. As it was a very cold and wet day I added this leopard print scarf too. I like wearing leopard print scarves with this navy striped shift dress, it's a fun way to introduce a little print mixing. With the neutral colours in the scarf and the navy and black stripes on the dress and black ankle boots, this was a very muted outfit. Again the Rebecca Minkoff MAC was the perfect accessory to brighten up my outfit.

Had some books due back at the library and more to pick up - sadly no opportunity for the park or playground as it was such a wet day, but the kids are never bored at the library and we brought home lots of books to read through the wet weekend!


Last worn: navy striped shift dress, black beaded bracelets, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC (above). First time I've worn the leopard print scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: navy striped shift dress and denim jacket, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy striped shift dress in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A colourful crossbody bag like this Rebecca Minkoff MAC is a fun pop against a navy dress. Even if your navy dress has a more colourful print on it like in the first outfit, a bright bag can still work with your outfit - it doesn't have to match!

Double Denim Outfits For Autumn | Weekday Wear Link Up

Cooler autumn days at the end of May meant being able to layer up and create these two double denim outfits. Both of these outfits pair blue denim jackets with differently coloured jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

This was such a wet day! School run gets just a little bit more tricky and frustrating when you add in the rain. Thankfully it was a nice dry morning though, and we didn't get wet on the way to school. We definitely needed our umbrellas in the afternoon! I helped out in my son's classroom before working from home before picking the kids up after school. It started raining just as I got to the school gate for school pick up - luckily I had my umbrella and was carrying the kids, so could let one of my friends borrow the boys umbrella for our dash to the classroom!

These faded black jeans were an awesome opshop find, and with the black jeans being such a different colour from the blue denim, I knew they would look good with this denim jacket. I can see these jeans becoming a firm favourite and hitting 30 wears quickly, and I will definitely wear them with this jacket again!

With the denim and the silver tank this outfit was missing something and a bit plain - the prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag was the perfect pop of colour and made the outfit feel a bit more like me and less neutral.


Last worn: denim jacket, metallic tank, beaded necklace, faded black jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers. First time I've shared the MAC bag on the blog, as I got it for Mother's Day.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, metallic tank and skirt, faded black jeans and kimono, Adidas Superstar sneakers and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Another blue denim jacket, with olive jeans this time! I liked wearing my brown floral kimono with these olive jeans previously, so I knew this brown printed tank would go nicely as well. The cooler autumn day meant I needed an extra layer, and this denim moto jacket is a cold weather staple.

Unlike the outfit above, I wasn't sure that the black Rebecca Minkoff tote was the perfect touch with this outfit, but I needed something practical for the day. As well as spending the morning at a school function watching the kids play, I was working from home and then had an appointment for my son in the afternoon after school pick up. I needed a big bag to hold our water bottles, and a book for him and for myself to amuse us in the waiting room.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, gold circle necklace, brown printed tank, olive jeans, Adidas Superstar (above), Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and midi dress, brown printed tank and maxi skirt, olive jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and chambray dress.
