Printed Dresses and Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

Two different white printed dress outfits, both with my wine purple Chloe Paraty bag.


What I wore:





Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Iris Maxi The Label flora print blue and white mini dress
Belt: came with dress
ShoesNike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a slightly wet day, where we headed done the coast to spend time with my parents, and enjoyed pizza for dinner. Every time I wear this dress I manage to drop something on it and this occasion was no exception, luckily once again the food washed out! 

I really like how comfortable this blue and white printed mini dress is, and with the white Nike court Royale sneakers it was a practical choice for another rainy but still humid day. I couldn't decide on a necklace for this, so ended up wearing my statement silver filigree leaf earrings, they match my silver bracelet stack and make enough of an impact I felt I could skep a necklace.

While the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag is quite a dark purple, I like purple and blue together so the darker bag was a great accessory, and it holds a lot more things than you'd expect.


Last worn: silver leaf earrings, blue printed mini dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearblue printed mini dress for Christmas, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and jeans.





What I wore:






Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Again I wore my dark wine purple Chloe Paraty bag with a light summer dress. I like the purple and orange combination with the light peachy orange leaf print on this tiered sundress. I added the darker foil necklace to compliment the darker purple of the Chloe Paraty bag as well.

This dress is such a good choice for Brisbane's summer humidity! It was an easy instant outfit for a day with the school run and working from home.

Green and Grey Denim Skirt and Tee Outfits

Two green and grey casual outfits, both with printed cover ups and again my teal Mimco cocoon bag that's become a real go-to for me since I bought it late last year.


What I wore:






JacketSeed Heritage black printed poncho
Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Target embroidered khaki tank
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day despite the heat! The kids had an art class at the library in the morning that was really good, then we had lunch and headed into the city for a very busy Brisbane Bookfest. I really enjoyed the $2.50 book section, and the kids weren't too upset about the long wait to get into the comic section as they came home with so many new comic and gaming books, they were really pleased!

I wanted to cover up my shoulders as a physical barrier against the sun when we were walking around, but it was too hot to consider a tee so I picked this pretty embroidered tank that hasn't been worn in a while. With the black embroidery I thought this black cover up was a good matchy-matchy choice, as were the black sandals. The grey denim skirt of course goes with everything, it was a great Vinnies (opshop) find. 

While the teal Mimco cocoon bag doesn't match the khaki green of the tank, once again I enjoyed wearing this bag with other shades of green. And I had a few big reusable totes for us to our preloved book haul at bookfest, that our water bottles and some snacks fit inside so I just needed a crossbody bag for the essentials.


Last worn: pink clay earrings, black and white printed duster, Tiffany heart necklace, green embroidered tank, grey Nobody Denim skirt, black sandals, Mimco teal cocoon bag.

Other ways to wearblack and white printed duster and shorts, green embroidered tank and maxi skirt, grey Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, black sandals and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bag and blazer.






What I wore:






JacketWoven Heart gold floral kimono
NecklaceRoie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: Jeanswest light olive denim skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

Another cover up and another grey and green outfit. This time around I wore a pale green distressed denim skirt with a grey top. I wore this to work from home, with an appointment for the kids in the afternoon. I like simple tee outfits when working from home. 

I added a little more interest to this for video calls and a little physical sunblock with the floral print duster. I like the mix of colours it added to the neutral outfit, and with the blues and greens in the floral print I thought the Mimco teal cocoon bag was a pretty good pairing as well. I really liked this outfit.

Camis and Midi Skirts With Mimco Teal Cocoon Bag

Two simple midi skirt and cami outfits, with my Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag, for office days recently. I would usually cover up a spaghetti strap cami with a blazer for in the office, but these were such hot and humid summer days I didn't add a layer for the commute. I always have a cardigan at my desk at work though, that I used on both these days to cover up my shoulders when working.


What I wore:






Earrings: gold stud ball earrings
Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Cami: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirtno label cream and brown floral print midi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

This pretty brown floral print midi skirt looks so good with the plain mint cami! I liked the colour pairing together, and then I went a little more matchy-matchy, with the white Converse, and the wooden accessories matching the brown and white on the skirt. Even though the wooden necklace and wooden beaded bracelets are different shades I liked them together with this skirt. 

I added the teal Mimco cocoon bag, although it is completely different from the pale green of the cami I thought it was a nice accessory and I have been reaching for it a lot lately. Was a great outfit for a busy office day, and I appreciated the tiered maxi skirt and spaghetti strap cami keeping me cool when I was outdoors in the humidity on the way too and from the office. Great first wear for this pretty skirt I got for Christmas as well.


Last worn: wooden necklace, wooden bracelet set, mint cami, floral midi skirt, white Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bag

Other ways to wearmint cami and shorts, midi skirt and grey tee, white Converse and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bag and blazer.







What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
TopKmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes:  Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

Another cami and skirt combination, this time with a printed cami and a linen button up midi skirt. Last time I tried this midi skirt with a printed top I wasn't too sure about the resulting outfit, but I really liked this one! This cheetah print cami, like most animal print, really goes with everything! I added a little more blue to this with the blue Converse and navy beaded necklace. Although unlike the accessories in the first outfit they don't really match, I like wearing different shades of blues with this skirt.

And again I wore my teal Mimco cocoon bag, it's just such a great crossbody bag for all my essentials as I carry my laptop in a work-issued laptop bag.


Last worn: cheetah print cami, navy beaded necklace, blue linen midi skirt, blue Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bag (above).

Dresses and Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Neverfull Tote Bag

Wearing two different dresses with my big Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull tote bag for a couple of recent weekend days.

Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace

Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis and Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

This was a really nice day! With Lunar New Year just a few days away, we met up with some friends for Yum Cha. As the kids were coming along as well I brought my big Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote so I could have some books inside for them. They were quite happy to sit and read while waiting for the food to arrive. Such good food and great company, it was a lovely lunch!

I picked this pretty geometric printed maxi dress to wear as I never feel over or under dressed in a maxi dress! With the busy print and the damier azur print on the Neverfull tote I kept it simple with the accessories, these braided sandals are a favourite and the gold glitter earrings and faux pearl necklace.

It's not the first time I've worn this navy tiered dress and Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag together, it's a great combination. The print on the tote is a nice pairing with the block colour navy tiered dress.

This dress is nice and comfortable, and a great bikini cover up, and the Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote is a practical choice for all the little extras I needed. it was another really fun day spending time with family.

Black and Grey Tee and Denim Skirt Outfits With Teal Bag And Navy Cover Ups

Two very similar outfits, both with black and grey, navy cover ups and my teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag. A soft tee, colourful cover up and denim skirt is a great working from home outfit over summer in Brisbane. The printed cover ups add a little extra interest and colour in video meetings and stop the tees looking too casual.


What I wore:






JacketJeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Once I got working from home out of the way, I took the kids to an afternoon event at the library that they really enjoyed, getting a chance to make some comics. 

As I was working from home I wanted to be comfortable more than anything, and this black tee is nice and soft and the grey denim skirt kept me cool. I added the navy tie dye cover up to help with sun cover while we were out in the afternoon and while dog walking. I couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with the blue beaded necklace. Even though the teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag doesn't match any of the blue shades in this outfit I really like wearing it against blues.


Last worn: tie dye duster, tri colour beaded necklace, black tee, Nobody Denim skirt, strappy sandals, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to weartie dye duster and shorts, black tee and midi skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, strappy sandals and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and shorts.







What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
SkirtNobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

Another tee and denim skirt outfit for working from home, although this time I went with a black skirt and a grey tee, an inverse of the outfit above. Although I did wear the same sandals. It's been a while since I last wore this tee, it was definitely overdue another wear. And with the pink panel on the back I knew this navy zig zag printed cover up would be a nice pairing, with the pink in the print, although it doesn't jump out much in the photos. I liked that subtle bit of matchy-matchy even though the pink panel on the back of the tee was covered up as I never took the kimono off all day.

Just like the day above, I worked from home in the morning before heading out in the late afternoon as I had a few errands to run and an appointment to get to.

I like that this teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag can fit all the essentials plus a book in it, but I didn't have much time to read before my appointment as I was running a little late and they saw me almost immediately.


Last worn: dangly earrings, beaded necklacechevron print cover up, grey tee, black distressed denim skirt, strappy sandals (above), Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag (above).

Other ways to wear chevron print cover up and shorts, grey tee over a dress, black distressed denim skirt and leopard, strappy sandals and jeans, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee in third trimester.

Linen Tiered Dresses and Falabella Bag

Converse, linen tiered dresses and my thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag for office wear recently.


What I wore:




Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Dress: Anko Kmart short sleeved tiered linen dress in coco brown
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle, Vinnies green glitter resin bangle and Polka Luka teal resin bangle
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

It was a very hot and humid day with an afternoon storm predicted, so I wore this brown linen tiered dress to the office. It's so nice on hot and humid days like this was. With the neutral brown, I added more colour with the teal tassel earrings, and then continued on with green accessories with the wooden beaded necklace and the fun resin bracelets.

I went matchy-matchy with the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag and the black Converse too. A nice and practical outfit. I managed to miss the worst of the storm in the afternoon, as we watched it blow through the city and into the suburbs from the office. And thankfully I was able to take another route home after the storm hit our suburb and caused significant damage. There was just some plant damage in our garden from the hail for us, we got off lucky!

Why I wore it:

Another day in the office and another linen tiered dress. This was back at the end of January before school went back, so after wrapping up my work day the kids and I spent some time at the museum and they had fun looking at insects. Although not as humid as the day above, I still appreciated this cool linen dress on the hot day. It's such a cheerful colour too. 

With the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag against the orange dress, I added white accessories to stop it looking too Halloween-ish, with the white threaded faux pearl necklace and the white Converse.

Grey Skirt Outfits With Purple

Brightening up some grey skirt outfits by adding a little bit of purple.


What I wore:





EarringsMIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
ShoesNike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable and practical outfit for my son's surgery. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag fits everything with both needed to keep us happy and distracted with all the waiting around, it's such a good tote bag.

Kept my outfit simple with this little beaded necklace I made, good for my son to fidget with if needed. And I was cosy and comfortable in the grey pinstripe jersey maxi skirt, and sneakers. I thought the purple tee was a nice way to add some colour and lightness to the outfit that would have been a bit too neutral without the block colour tee.

Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:


Just like the outfit above, this felt a bit plain and neutral with the grey denim skirt, and the grey tee. I added a little more colour with purple again, although lighter shades this time. I really liked the resulting outfit though! The purple floral cover up is something I've worn with the lilac Polene Numero neuf mini bag before, I really like the pairing! And I added another beaded necklace, this one was an opshop find.

I had a couple of errands to run and a few things to donate to the opshop that I hadn't managed to drop off before Christmas. of course I had a bit of a browse as well, and ended up with a few more books to replace the ones the kids had grown out of that I'd just donated!


Last worn: earrings (above), floral cover up, grey tee, beaded necklace, Havaianas, grey Nobody Denim skirt, Polene Numero neuf mini bag.

Midi Skirts, Grey Tees and Aqua Mini MAC Bag

The first few weeks back in the office in January before school went back were pretty quiet, so I took the opportunity to wear some casual grey tees to work.


What I wore:







EarringMIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: no label cream and brown floral print midi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco urban bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 


Why I wore it:

I got this pretty midi skirt for Christmas from one of our pre-Christmas shopping trips, this one is from the opshop shopping day before Christmas. I found it online and so I'm pretty sure it's from Kmart. It's a lovely neutral brown print, so I wore it with more neutrals with the grey tee. To try dress it up a little more for a day in the office I added this statement necklace, it's so fun with all the faux pearl beads. I could have added a blazer to this to make it even more formal, but the day was too hot to want to layer.

I wore my white Converse to be a little matchy-matchy with the skirt, but decided to wear my little aquamarine mini MAC bag for a pop of colour. It's so nice against greys, and other neutrals like I'm wearing in this outfit, and carries all the essentials I need for work as I carry my laptop in my company issued laptop bag.


Last worn: Mimco silver earrings, beaded statement necklace, white Converse, aquamarine mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the tee and the skirt as they were a Christmas present.

Other ways to wearwhite Converse and shorts, aquamarine mini MAC bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancyaquamarine mini MAC bag in second trimester.





What I wore:



Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
TeeAtmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco urban bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 


Why I wore it:

Even though this is the same outfit formula as the one above, this outfit felt much more casual. Not sure it it was the softer tee or the linen skirt, or a combination. I still loved this outfit for a quiet day in the office though. There were so few people there, most working from home or still on leave, so I smashed through a lot of work and so many meetings at my desk.

It's the first time I've worn this aquamarine mini MAC bag with this silicone necklace and it definitely won't be the last, they pair so nicely together. I wore my blue Converse as well for more matchy-matchy with the blue linen midi skirt.

Printed Dresses, Redyed Pink Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag

Two simple printed dress outfits to try and beat the heat, both accessorised with my little pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag that I redyed.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
DressAll About Eve striped black tee dress 
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! We had a playdate down by the water with some friends. This black and white striped tee dress is super comfortable on a hot day, and it works well for a day at the beach with the kids as a bikini cover up. I didn't need to go far enough into the water to have to take this dress off in the end, which was nice! It helped keep the sun off my shoulders all day.

We had a few people joining us through the day, so we got there early to get a shaded table and I had my little pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag so I could keep my phone close to respond to messages from everyone and share where we were. Lunch was amazing, although cut a little short as the kids were so eager to get back to playing in the water.


Last worn: black and white striped tee dress, blush bead necklace, Havaianas, redyed pink mini MAC.

Other ways to wearblack and white striped tee dress and leather jacket, redyed pink mini MAC and jeans.





What I wore:







EarringsMIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
ShoesNike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another comfortable dress outfit, for a slightly different day. I was picking up some family members at the airport, before heading home to WFH. I needed the sneakers for all the driving around, and decided to wear my new Nike that the kids got me. I really like them with this cute tiered sundress.

While the print on this dress is a light blush, I've enjoyed wearing it with other shades of pink in the past and I liked the darker pink mini MAC bag with this. While working from home wasn't as fun as the day above, it was good getting to spend time with family after collecting them from the airport before doing some work for the day.
