V-Neck Tees and Ruffle Hem Skirts Outfits

For much hotter than normal autumn days in Brisbane, little ruffle skirts and plain tees were easy outfit choices!


What I wore:

pink and leopard print outfit target ruffle hem print skirt with washed rose tee and mab crossbody bag | awayfromtheblue

animal print ruffle hem skirt with Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose | awayfromtheblue


Necklace
: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
SkirtTarget animal print ruffle hem mini skirt (new purchase)
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

I really like pink and leopard together, so I knew I'd be wearing this skirt with this fave pink tee of mine when I was trying the skirt on at Target. I really liked the combination together!

I couldn't quite decide on the bag that would go best with this outfit though. In the end, I picked this desert rose Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag as I liked the muted colour to create an almost tonal look with the pink tee and leopard skirt. I didn't have to carry much, as it was a quiet weekend and I just had to pop out to complete a couple of errands.


Last worn: pink tee, Tiffany heart necklace, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody. First time I've worn the leopard print skirt as it's a recent purchase.

Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Amerii medium sling rattan bag in black (c/o)


Why I wore it:

Much like the outfit above, again I wasn't sure on the best bag for this outfit! I went with a neutral black in the end, but I'd thought about a yellow one too and I think that might have worked out better. I did love the red clay tee with the rust of this ruffle skirt though, such a good colour combination together, and the recently thrifted little yellow beaded tassel necklace did help lighten up this outfit a little.

It was supposed to be a quiet day, with the school run and working from home, but there was a quick unexpected trip to the vets in there. Had to pick some injured wildlife we had taken there earlier in the week, as the vet called to give it the all clear to return to the wild and for us to release it near where we found it. The boys were so excited!


Last worn: clay tee, rust ruffle hem skirt, Havaianas (above), straw circle bag. First time I've worn the yellow tassel necklace as it's a recent purchase.

Printed Dresses and Converse In The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

A couple office outfits with blue printed dresses for today's Weekday Wear Link Up! I'm one of the lucky ones who has a home office and experience working from home before the pandemic. While my company has moved to hybrid ways of working, there are no mandated office days so my team mostly works from home. 

I'll be sharing a few more office outfits now though as with some new work that came into the team, it's been better to be in the office with everyone more often.


What I wore:


French Connection blue Paisley print dress with navy blazer and converse | awayfromblue

Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
DressFrench Connection blue Paisley print dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

This is one of the first "office dresses" I bought myself to start my job in the company I'm still working for all these years later! I love it, although I'm a little sad it predates the blog as I haven't hit 30 recorded wears with it yet. Having owned it a few years before I started blogging though, I'm sure it's well over that number, just not all documented.

Added the navy blazer on top to try make it a little more formal as we had some higher-ups in the office, and I love the print mixing of the gingham cuffs with the paisley print of the dress. The little floral hand painted Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag was a bit more print mixing. I wasn't sure it worked well with the dress, but I wanted this little bag to give me something to smile at as I sat at my desk all day!

My office was on the casual side of business casual even before we switched to mostly working from home, so the Converse seemed like a good shoe choice - and I liked the matchy-matchy of the blues of the shoes, dress, and blazer together. Seeing all the other ladies in the office in Converse except one, I was happy I made the right shoe choice!


Last worn: navy blazer, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, Tiffany 5th Avenue heart necklace, French Connection Paisley print dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff floral hand painted MAB.

Other ways to wearnavy blazer and green dress, French Connection Paisley print dress and belted cardigan, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff floral hand painted MAB and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancyFrench Connection Paisley print dress in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose worn with navy white stripe dress | awayfromblue


EarringsMichael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Dress: Target navy and white striped shift dress with frill sleeves
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

This was a much more casual outfit! I did think about a blazer to make this more formal, but it would have covered up the cute frill sleeves on this dress. I added the statement necklace to dress it up a little, I really liked the pop of turquoise against the navy dress. Again I went with the comfortable Converse, although I changed up my bag and picked this desert rose Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag instead.

I only need small handbags for work as I carry a separate (work issued) bag for my work laptop too.

Unlike the day in the office above, this was a quiet one with just myself and another member of the team, working together to progress and plan out some of the new work, so I think this casual dress was perfect.


Last worn: earrings, frill sleeve navy stripe dress, turquoise statement necklace, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

Printed Dresses and Pink MAB Crossbody Bag

Sharing two very different printed dresses I wore recently, with sneakers and the little Rebecca Minkoff desert rose studded MAB crossbody bag I got for Christmas.


What I wore:




Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Even though I tried to make this more causal with the Converse, it's a lot dressier than I'd normally wear for a pool party! But we had lunch after our dip in the pool so I thought this was the best option, and I was looking forward to wearing this coral print midi dress again.

While it was another hot day, this dress was nice and light and a good cover up for my swimmers. Kept it simple with no necklace so I didn't have to worry about one in the pool, and the print is interesting enough I didn't feel I needed extra accessories. I'm pleased I gave the little studded MAB bag a go with this - I wasn't sure how the dusty pink would work with the coral floral print on the dress, but I liked the two together. And I just needed a little bag for my essentials as I had a big beach tote for all the swimmers and towels.


Last worn: coral floral print midi wrap dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and denim skirt

Reveal: Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB Crossbody






What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
DressAtmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

With a slightly cooler start to the morning and a few rain showers, I got overly excited and thought it was the perfect chance to wear this navy blazer for the first time. I got it at the opshop back in December in anticipation for going into the office more this year, but hadn't had a chance to wear it yet. We had a few errands to run in the morning, a quick stop by a friend's place to wish her happy birthday, and then I was working from home for a while before heading out to the library in the afternoon.

I quickly realised how silly I was to layer up this dress for summer though when we got to my friends house - the rain cleared up and it was so hot, I discarded the blazer for the rest of the day!

I did like the matchy-matchy of the navy blazer with the navy sneakers, and I always like wearing blue with this dress, just definitely too warm a day for such an outfit.

Just like the first outfit, I wasn't sure about this bag against the print of the dress. Again I'm glad I gave it a try. Like all the other times I've tired this floral print dress with pink bags, I really liked the result!


Last worn: floral print shift dress, Sketchers sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody (above). First time I've worn the blazer at it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: floral print shift dress worn as a top, Sketchers sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and denim.

Thrifted Camis, Floral Cover Ups, and Studded MAB Crossbody Bag

Another wear of these two camis I got from the opshop just before Christmas, in the awesome "Fill a bag for $10" sale, making them both less than $1 each.


What I wore:

navy floral duster with distressed denim skirt, pink cami and mab crossbody bag | awayfromblue

navy floral duster and pink Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose | awayfromblue


JacketJeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace (Christmas present)
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

When I thrifted this cami before Christmas I thought it might be a little tricky to style as I don't have any of this dusky pink in my wardrobe. But I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the little Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag works with it! They are very similar shades.

For a hot day, the cami and distressed denim skirt were a great outfit for an afternoon at the beach with the kids. The floral duster was necessary for a bit of physical sunblock too, as the cami just has spaghetti straps.

This very pale denim skirt might look new - but it's still the same one I took from my sisters wardrobe clear out a while back! I went to wear it a few weeks ago and it had some kind of stain on it I hadn't noticed left behind from the wash, as I iron everything inside out. I tried various stain removers and multiple washes and it wasn't coming out, so I decided to bleach it! Quite like the resulting very pale blue colour, and now you can't see any stains!

Even for clothing I thrift from my local opshop for $1, or things I get free from my sister's wardrobe, I'm determined to make sure I make the most of them and get some wear from them - bleaching was an easy alternative to keep this skirt in my wardrobe.


Last worn: floral duster, dusty pink cami, distressed denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wearfloral duster over a dress, dusty pink cami and denim shorts, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and printed dress.

brown cover up and Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose | awayfromtheblue


JacketWoven Heart gold floral kimono
NecklaceRoie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Essentially the same outfit as the one above, just with a few changes! This chambray cami was another thrift find the same day I scored the cami above. Paired it with a pair of white Bermuda shorts I picked up in another opshop, a beautiful floral duster my mum got me one Christmas, and these comfy Sketchers sneakers I got from her last Christmas.

I really liked how this cover up matched the blues of the chambray cami and the pink of the MAB crossbody bag, although it's not too easy to see the pink florals in the print. A comfortable outfit was needed for a very early start to pick up some relatives from the airport, and then spending a little bit of time shopping with my mum on the coast later.


Last worn: floral cover up, chambray cami, feather necklace, white Bermuda shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody (above).

Other ways to wearfloral cover up and denim skirt, chambray cami and black denim, white Bermuda shorts and red tee, Sketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and navy dress.




How You Can Wear It:

Thin strap camis are great on a hot day, but for a little extra sun protection and shoulder coverage, you can add a floral print duster on top.

Blue Dresses and Pale Pink MAB Studded Crossbody Bag in Desert Rose | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing two simple outfits. Blue dresses from my wardrobe paired with the new-to-me Rebecca Minkoff Desert Rose studded MAB crossbody bag that I got for Christmas.


What I wore:

Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress worn with pink crossbody Rebecca Minkoff desert rose MAB bag | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose with printed dress | awayfromtheblue


NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoesslim gold Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose (Christmas present)


Why I wore it:

This is one of my favourite dresses! My sister got it for me last Christmas and I feel I don't wear it nearly often enough, so got it out again for a rare child free day with hubby. The kids spent the day at the in-laws and Hubby and I both had the day off.

Spent a little time with my sister too, travelled down the coast to have dinner with her. This dress was perfect for the whole day. I like the relaxed fit in the the heat and humidity, a storm hit as we were having dinner.

While there isn't any pink in the leaf print of this dress, I really liked the desert rose pink against the navy and with the autumnal colours in the print. I was pleased the two looked so good together, as I was eager to wear my new bag for the first time. The bag was a Christmas present I'd spotted on a random browse of the Real Real when I picked up a couple of other bags late last year, and told hubby I was getting it for Christmas! Shipping to Australia from the Real Real can be quite expensive, but spread over the cost of a few bags, it was a lot better. Just meant a bit of a wait until I could unwrap the bag from under the Christmas tree and start enjoying it!


Last worn: Jaase Celine navy dress, Tiffany heart necklace, gold Havaianas. First time I've worn the bag as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: Jaase Celine navy dress and denim jacket.

NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoesslim gold Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

This was another hot summer day, so again the day called for a nice simple dress! My sister and I had a couple of errands, a trip to the dentist, and a little browse in the opshop. I got a Lego set for the boys for $1 which was awesome! We had lunch together before I headed home as well.

Again I really liked the navy print of this dress with the little pink MAB crossbody bag. Pink and blue just look so good together!

Just like the outfit above, the silver necklace matched the silver hardware on the bag, and then I went with gold Havaianas as it was much too hot to consider any other footwear.


Last worn: tile print dress, Tiffany heart necklace (above), gold Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff desert rose MAB crossbody (above).

Other ways to weartile print dress and ankle boots.

Perfect for pregnancytile print dress in second trimester.



How You Can Wear It:


Pink and blue look great together! Try a little pink bag against a blue printed dress - even if there are other colours in the print, like in the first outfit, you might love the combination as I did!
