Printed Maxi Dresses And Suede Maxi Edie Bag

Last time I wore these two printed maxi dresses, I shared them together in a post, and I'm doing that again today! Despite both being very different prints and colours, I thrifted them both for just $1 each and find myself reaching for them so much now with the warmer spring weather in Brisbane.

Both dresses I accessorised with my Rebecca Minkoff suede Maxi Edie bag, which is a nice neutral.

What I wore:

Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Dress: thrifted JayJays white maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede

Why I wore it:

A simple dress outfit for a hot day working from home. I had to take a little break in the afternoon to see my son get an award at school. This Rebecca Minkoff maxi Edie bag was the perfect accessory as it has plenty of room for all of my essentials and I could fit my camera in there too for photos at the ceremony.

I decided to wear it just with the big chunky chain strap, and not use the crossbody strap (which is removable). I liked the way it looked but I think maybe I shouldn't have worn a rose gold necklace with this as the two different gold tones don't really compliment each other well with the necklace and bag. I did like them both separately though, just another necklace might have looked better worn all together.


Last worn: floral print maxi dress, rose gold heart necklace, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie.

Other ways to wear: floral print maxi dress with peach accessories, Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie and stripes.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede

Why I wore it:

Layered up this printed maxi dress with a denim jacket for a cooler spring morning - that quickly turned into a very warm day and had me discarding the jacket! I did like the light blue denim wash with the tri colour wooden necklace and the blue Converse, but what had started out as a cool overcast day quickly warmed up and I left the jacket in the car.

I went to the opshop with the kids looking for something for them to wear for an upcoming theme day at school, and to take advantage of the 'fill a bag of books for $3' sale at the opshop. Picked up some very cute clothes for the kids and ended up with two bags full of books for them and for me. A very productive shop!

Also had to run a few errands afterwards and picked up a special treat for lunch on the way home. Again I wore the Rebecca Minkoff suede Edie bag, although I didn't need to carry too much, it just saved me swapping out bags again!

Last worn: denim moto jacket, tri-colour wooden necklace, geometric print maxi dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff suede Edie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and leopard skirt, geometric print maxi dress in winter, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff suede Edie bag and leather jacket.

White Denim Jacket With Printed Dresses, Ankle Boots And Statement Necklaces

A sunny winter weekend gave me the chance to wear some pretty floral dresses. Both dresses only needed ankle boots and my white denim jacket to make them cosy enough for spending most of our time indoors.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Red multi strand beaded statement necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral

Why I wore it:

I love the way this Jaase floral and leaf print dress looks with ankle boots. It's such a pretty dress! I've worn it with denim jackets before, but this is the first time I've paired it with the white one, Given how it matches the white in the print so well, I'm surprised I haven't worn the dress and jacket together sooner!

We had a kids birthday party to attend, so I just needed my essentials which meant this little peach Rebecca Minkoff small love bag was the perfect accessory. Just like the red statement necklace, it doesn't exactly match the colours in the print of the dress, but I think the accessories complimented the print nicely. This was such a comfortable outfit for a loud and busy (but fun!) party.


Last worn: white denim jacket, red statement necklace, Jaase dress, tan leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and maxi dress, Jaase dress and leather jacket, ankle boots and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag and matching tee.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink (recent purchase)
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede

Why I wore it:

Copied the outfit formula above for a busy morning, and then getting to spend some time relaxing and chatting at book club in the afternoon. While it was a warm day, I knew the denim jacket and boots would be much appreciated in the evening. It did start getting a little chilly later in the evening as we were sitting outside for book club, but that was a good sign we should probably wrap up and head home!

Just like the last time I wore this statement gold beaded necklace, I wanted to pair it with the equally chunky chain on this Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie bag. I like the combination even though the metals are not a match.

It was my first time wearing this pretty floral print maxi dress I scored from the Gladrags markets, so it made sense to wear it with some of the accessories I picked up at that market too, with the gold necklace and the Mimco bracelet stack. It's a lot of big accessories, but it was fun wearing them all together.


Last worn: white denim jacket (above), gold bib necklace, tan leather boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie crossbody bag. First time I've worn the dress and bracelet stack as they were recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and jeans, tan leather boots and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie crossbody bag and stripes.

Navy Stripe Shift Dresses, Boots and Suede Maxi Edie Crossbody Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, getting out my long sleeved navy stripe dresses again and layering them up a little for the cooler weather. Accessorising both outfits with my latest bag buy, this preloved Rebecca Minkoff maxi Edie crossbody.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Necklace: Gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede

Why I wore it:

It was another really cold morning when I wore this for the school run and working from home. I'd planned to wear this white striped tee dress with sneakers, but realised that morning I needed extra layers, so added this Witchery leather jacket (a recent Gladrags market find) and my tall leather boots to try keep me cosy. Also went big on the accessories for a bit of fun, with this chunky gold statement necklace matching the chunky chain on the Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie bag well in terms of chunkiness. Even if they are different shades of gold I thought they complimented each other nicely.


Last worn: Witchery belted leather jacket, white and navy striped shift dress, tall leather boots. First time I've worn the gold statement necklace and Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie bag as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: Witchery belted leather jacket and skirt, white and navy striped shift dress with pink, tall leather boots worn 30 ways.

Again I wore my suede maxi Edie bag, I love it! Even though I don't need to carry much to work I've been enjoying wearing this new-to-me bag lately.
