Kmart Floral Print Dresses and Turquoise Mini MAC

Two very different Kmart printed dresses I wore for a weekend a couple of weeks ago when it was a little warmer! Both bags accessorised with my little Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC that goes with everything.

What I wore:

Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

I did feel a little overdressed for this in the morning when we had a couple of playdates, but that evening we were going out for a birthday dinner and one outfit felt easier for the day! This coral print wrap dress is one mum got me for Christmas, I love how colourful it is. Although this is the first time I've tried the aqua mini MAC bag with it, I really liked the combination. It was the perfect size too as I didn't need to carry much for the playdates or for dinner.


Last worn: spiral earrings, Tiffany heart necklace, coral print wrap dress, Kmart slides, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: coral print wrap dress with yellow, Kmart slides and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag and maternity shorts.

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

I had planned to wear a denim jacket over this, but it was a nice warm morning so I went without one. I definitely needed it in the afternoon though when it started to cool down, with winter just over a week away here in Brisbane it's getting chilly!

It was a nice sunny day for a couple of errands and then a little browse in the opshop - donating a few more things and taking advantage of the 'fill a bag of books for $5' sale to pick up some more books for myself and for the kids. I'm keeping up with my 100 books a year reading goal, the extra commutes into the office now I'm working in there more often help! I'm at 63 books read so far this year, and I'm always picking up books in the opshops in case I don't have any hold requests available when we are on our weekly library trip.


Last worn: beaded necklace, tiered sundress, leather Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: tiered sundress and denim jacket, leather Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in third trimester.

Printed Dresses and Polene Bag

Two easy outfits for working from home days, just throwing on printed dresses and adding a little extra colour with my lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

It was a busy day with a couple of errands and the school run to be fit in alongside working from home. I just wanted a simple outfit so reached for this dress I thrifted a while back for $1. Definitely getting good value from it! A pretty floral print dress like this is an easy instant outfit. I just added the slides I got for Christmas that I've been wearing on repeat, a couple of layered Tiffany necklaces to match the silver bracelets on my wrist, and then the lilac Polene bag for a little extra colour and because I didn't need to carry much. I really like the lilac numero neuf mini bag against the pinks and pastel floral print of the dress.


Last worn: floral print dress, Tiffany notes necklace, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, tan slides, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: floral print dress and blazer, tan slides and denim skirt, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and leopard print.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

The first days of autumn in Brisbane are still pretty hot, so I wanted something light to wear. This Kmart little black tiered sundress is a favourite for hot days like this was. It was perfect for staying cool and comfortable while working from home, and taking the kids for a haircut after school pickup in the afternoon.

Navy Havaianas as I needed something easy and we weren't walking far. With the black dress though, even adding the little magenta and gold marble necklace didn't quite brighten this outfit up enough, so I wore my Polene Numero Neuf mini bag again. I loved the way the lilac stood out against the black printed background of the dress. It's not the first time I've worn a pastel bag with this little black dress, I really like the combination!


Last worn: marble necklace, Kmart tiered sundress, Havaianas, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Kmart tiered sundress and sequins, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and shorts.
