Tiered Dresses And Chloe Periwinkle Paraty

Simple summer outfits is the theme for my daily dressing and susequently my blog posts lately, with the heat and humidity we have been experiencing in Brisbane! Both these tiered dresses are perfect for hot days. And despite the very different colours of the dresses, they both work with the little periwinkle small Chloe Paraty bag so well.

What I wore:

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya (Christmas present)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

Wearing a few new pieces here! I got a lot of amazing things for Christmas. This mango coloured tiered dress was from my mum, it is so nice and light in both colour and because it's a linen blend. Beautiful for a day with a bunch of errands to run. 

The shoes were a practical choice for a bit of walking and driving around. I thrifted a pair of Adidas Superstar sneakers at the end of 2020. They were very comfortable and also pretty broken in, so I wasn't too surprised when they eventually fell apart as the stitching finally came undone. Thankfully my mum was happy to buy me a replacement pair. These are a lot whiter and brighter than my previous preloved pair, but still just as comfortable to wear. I know I'll get a lot of wear from both the dress and the shoes, lovely gifts! The old pair of Superstars I thrifted were in 94 posts on the blog so I got at least that many wears from them, probably nearly 100 when you consider I double up the outfits in my posts. Not bad for a $3 opshop find!

Paired these new pieces with some old favourites from my wardrobe. This suede navy tassel necklace goes with everything, and I really like the periwinkle Paraty bag and handmade strap against the yellow dress.


Last worn: navy tassel necklace, Adidas Superstar (previous pair), Chloe Paraty.

Other ways to wear: Adidas Superstar and jeans, Chloe Paraty and shorts.

Chloe Small Paraty Bag Review & What's In My Bag:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: opal reindeer stud earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, this is all old favourites from my wardrobe, with no new pieces except the little opal stud earrings my sister gave me. We took advantage of both having some time off for the Christmas holidays to visit a few local opshops, where my sister found me some amazing pressies for Christmas and scored an incredible bargain NWT dress find for herself. Afterwards we had lunch by the bay, with the kids playing in the water play area at the Whale Park. It was a really good day!

This Kmart tiered dress is a cotton dress, so not as light as the one above, but it does also have pockets which is very helpful, and it was still good to wear on a hot day. Although a very different colour, the periwinkle blue of the Chloe Paraty bag works well with the navy of this dress just as well as the yellow above.

Last worn: gold circle necklace, navy tiered dress, Havaianas, Chloe small Paraty bag (above). first time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent gift.

Other ways to wear: navy tiered dress and duster, Chloe small Paraty bag and denim skirt.

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
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: Rebecca 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
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mulberry 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 wear: festive Santa tee and shorts, striped maxi skirt and denim jacket, Mulberry leopard print Lily bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: festive Santa tee in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: DIY green clay Christmas tree earrings
Necklace: Starfish 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
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: tiered 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 Tops, Orange Skirts and Red Bag Outfits

Two different orange skirt outfits, both featuring a little red bag and a navy tank.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Tank: Kmart navy ribbed tank
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the first official day of my summer leave. Celebrated by taking the kids along to a cookie decorating class - they had a bunch of fun, and I had a good time chatting to my friend as our kids enjoyed their cookie playdate! Also ran a few errands picking up a couple last minute gifts, as this was back earlier in December.

I really like navy and orange together, so was eager to try this navy tank with the rust button up skirt. I really liked the combination! The Converse were a practical choice for a bit of driving around, and I thought the little red bag would be a fun pop against the rust skirt. I have been wearing this bag a lot lately! I really liked this outfit.


Last worn: navy tank, statement necklace, rust skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.
 
Other ways to wear: navy tank and printed shorts, rust skirt with stripes, white Converse and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways..

My Red Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Oxfam Noah's Ark green red beaded necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

This outfit is very similar to the one above, but I didn't love it quite as much. Still a fun combination of that navy, orange and red trio though.

Again it was a simple navy tank with an orange skirt, this lovely thrifted maxi skirt that is super light for hot days, which this day certainly was! I had the little red bag from the night before, when we had gone out to White Christmas event at MovieWorld, as we stayed overnight at my parents on the coast instead of driving back home. I thought it would be fun with the little red bag and orange skirt, and since we had been at a Christmas event the night before, a little red and green necklace for a festive touch. The neutral studded sandals were what I'd worn the night before too, to keep packing light.

We unfortunately had to leave early in the morning, having to get back home for a playdate, so we didn't stay at my parents long.


Last worn: navy tank, red and green bib necklace, orange maxi skirt, studded sandals, red micro Avery bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tank and shorts, orange maxi skirt and denim jacket, studded sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

Black Tees and Printed Culotte Shorts With Green Mini 5-Zip Bag

The best thing about printed shorts is that they are so easy to wear with a plain black tee! So good I wore the combination twice, just with different tees and shorts each time.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Jeanswest black scoop neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

Such an easy outfit for a summer school run and working from home day with this plain black tee and the cute pastel print thrifted culotte shorts. They are so comfortable in the humidity! Stuck with my Havaianas as it was too hot for closed in shoes, and this cute little green crossbody bag as I didn't need to carry much with me.

Although the green in the print of the shorts is more of a pastel green, I really liked the darker green of the mini 5-zip bag with this.

Last worn: black tee, neutral necklace, pastel print culotte shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip.

Other ways to wear: black tee and maxi skirt, pastel print culotte shorts and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip with orange.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kelly's Kloset rainbow layered necklace
Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! After the school run and working from home, we had a playdate at the park after school and a bunch of errands to run as well as sports in the afternoon. Again I went for the failsafe shorts and tee outfit, just like the one above with this black tee and navy printed culotte shorts. I added a couple different shades of green to this with the beaded necklace and the dark green mini 5-zip bag, even though there is no green in the print of the shorts I think the accessories worked well with this. Black and navy always work together, as does blue and green.

Last worn: black tee, beaded necklace, navy culotte shorts, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black tee and leopard print, navy culotte shorts and knit, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag and maxi skirt.

Tiered Sundresses and Red Rebecca Minkoff Studded Saddle Bag

Hope you had a lovely Christmas! We thankfully were safe from any major damage from the storms.

Today, sharing more of my tiered printed sundress outfits again. for some very hot summer days in Brisbane! I added a little red to both of these with my Rebecca Minkoff Studded Saddle bag, that I have been wearing so much recently.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus plus Roie Designs beaded bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

I really like this navy and blush print Kmart sundress, it was a Kmart clearance find years ago, for just $2! I decided to try it with a little bit of red to brighten it up even more, for a day with the school run, working from home, and errands after school pick up. I matched the red saddle bag with my little red dino skeleton earrings and a little red beaded bracelet. Even though they are all different shades of red, I liked the additions, especially with the blue background of the dress.

My navy and pink Havaianas match the print of this dress so well, and they were the best choice for such a hot and humid day!


Last worn: dino earrings, circle necklace, navy tiered sundress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tiered sundress layered with a tee, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag worn 30 ways.

30 Ways to Wear: Red Studded Saddle Bag

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Ciao Bella glitter ball drop earrings
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This was a very, very humid day! My sister was over and we spent the morning finishing off our Christmas shopping, before heading out to the church Christmas festival and carols in the afternoon. This relaxed tiered sundress was the perfect light dress to wear, although I did get a little sunburnt from lack of shoulder coverage at the festival in the afternoon.

With the pretty orange pastel palm print on the dress, I thought this red saddle bag would be a good combination. And as it was a Christmas event I added the gold bauble earrings and a tiny amount of green with this fun multi coloured beaded necklace.

Picked my comfortable sneakers as there was a lot of walking around to do at the shops and then later at the event, checking out all the stalls and going on a few of the rides with the kids.

Last worn: tiered palm print sundress, gold bauble earrings, multi coloured beaded necklace, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag (above).

Other ways to wear: tiered palm print sundress and denim jacket, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Printed Dresses and Red Saddle Bag

For my last blog post until after Christmas day, two pretty printed dresses with my little red Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag, that's gotten a lot of wear recently. It's a little nod to the Christmas season!

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Ciao Bella glitter ball drop earrings
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This is what I wore for our annual family Christmas photo. I try get one to put in our Christmas cards every year, although finding somewhere that accepts dogs every year isn't easy. We can't leave Cooper out of the family photo though!

Went with this pretty dress that I wore for a belated Christmas celebration at the in-laws last year. It feels festive, with the bright coral floral print. It's not the first time I've worn these gold bauble earrings or the nude gladiator sandals with this dress, they are great accessories with it.

It's the first time I've worn this little red saddle bag with the dress though - I was worried about the coral print and the red of the bag not looking good together, but I really liked the combination and I'm glad I gave it a try.


Last worn: coral floral wrap dress, gold bauble earrings, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: coral floral wrap dress for Christmas, studded sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag and denim skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Polka Luka resin bangles in red and teal
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

I wore this back at the end of November, to go down the coast and finish off my Christmas shopping. Just like the family Christmas photo above, it's an annual tradition! My mum and sister and I hit the shops for a full day of shopping to finish buying all our presents. It was a very productive day, we were there at the shops until we heard the closing messages again, and I got a lot of presents bought!

As I knew it would be a long day with a lot of walking and some driving, wore my comfortable Sketchers to support my knee. With the resin bracelet stack, the gold glitter earrings and the little red bag, this felt a bit Christmas-y, without being too festive as it was still November. I really liked this outfit! The red saddle bag looks so good with the autumn leaves print of the dress.


Last worn: resin glitter earrings, engraved gold necklace, resin bracelets, Jaase Celine dress, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Jaase Celine dress and denim jacket, Sketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag and maxi skirt.

Tiered Dresses and Burgundy Bag With Converse

Sticking with simple outfits for hot summer days, accessorising these two tiered sundresses with my little burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and white Converse.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

Just needed an easy outfit for a weekend playdate - this little black tiered sundress was perfect! With the neutral necklace and white Converse, I wanted to add a little more colour, and the burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody was a nice way to do that without being too bright.

I've worn the bag and dress together before, I really like the combination.


Last worn: neutral necklace, black tiered sundress, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: black tiered sundress and knotted tee, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, this is trying a few new things, with the print mixing with the palm print dress and tie dye cover up, and burgundy and orange combination with the Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag. Again went with the classic neutral white Converse sneakers.

I had the school run as well as working from home, and then a playdate in the park in the afternoon. I knew I'd need a cover up to protect my shoulders from the sun and this one is nice and light. I thought it was an interesting combination with the orange palm print dress and although I don't think I'll be rushing to try this pairing again it was good to try something different.


Last worn: tie dye cape, tassel necklace, tiered printed sundress, white Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: tie dye cape and denim skirt, tiered printed sundress and denim jacket, white Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

Colourful Shorts and Cover Ups With White Tees and Converse

Two outfits using the same tried and true outfit formula, with some new pieces I recently scored at the opshop. Colourful shorts, white tees and little crossbody bags with these printed cover ups I thrifted for just $1 each!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted pastel pink cotton shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

I like pink and leopard print together, so I added a couple different shades of pink in this outfit to complement the printed cover up! These pastel pink shorts haven't been worn in a while, and with the white tee and neutral leopard print cover up it needed just a little extra colour. The Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag in fig pink was a good way to add more colour. even thought the shades of pink are different, blush goes with everything really!

Wore this for a simple working from home day, with the school run and a playdate in the park after school.


Last worn: leopard print cover up, statement necklace, white tee, blush shorts, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff jean MAC.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cover up with teal, white tee and midi skirt, blush shorts and navy, white Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff jean MAC and floral dress.

Another comfortable shorts and tee outfit with a pretty cover up.

And of course plain white tees go with everything! Even added a black chain necklace to match the black background of the floral cover up.

Wore my white Converse again - it was another hot weekend and we had a bunch of errands to run. Converse are good for a lot of driving around.


Last worn: floral cover up, black necklace, white tee, red denim shorts, white Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.

Black Tees, Jeans and Colourful cover Ups | Weekday Wear Link Up

We had some very stormy, wet weather at the end of spring in Brisbane, so it gave me an opportunity to wear my jeans again. I don't get to wear them much over summer as it's too hot for jeans, so it was nice to give them another wear while it was cooler. Keeping it simple, I wore both of these colourful sets of denim with black tees, my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, and some bright cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in black
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

The fun colours in this tropical palm print cover up go with so much. On this day I decided to wear it with some green to play up the green in the print. I liked the forest green jeans with this, even if it's a deeper green than the print. The geometric necklace went well with it too.

With all that green, a simple black tee, my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and white Converse were good neutrals.

This was a colourful and comfortable jeans and tee outfit for the school run, working from home, and then a quick errand in the afternoon after picking the kids up from school.


Last worn: palm print cover up, geometric necklace, black tee, green jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: palm print cover up and band tee, black tee and shorts, green jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Reveal

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On maroon wanderlust floral border cover up
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here black essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Just like the outfit above, again I went with a plain black tee and then added a printed topper in a similar shade to my jeans. I think this floral print cover up pairs perfectly with the burgundy jeans! While it had been raining overnight it brightened up during the day, so I just wore my Havaianas, not needing to worry about it raining. I had the school run, working from home, and then the dentist in the evening.

I picked this big statement necklace as it's a fun mix of metallic neutrals and it brightened up the darker outfit a little. 

Last worn: floral cover up, metallic necklace, black v-neck tee, burgundy jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and skirt, black v-neck tee over a dress, burgundy jeans and stripes, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.
