Tiered Denim Dresses With Pink Scarves And Bags

Sticking with easily repeatable outfit formulas again, pairing my two tiered denim dresses with pink scarves and Rebecca Minkoff bags recently.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl zesty stripe tassel scarf in pink
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I really loved this outfit! It was perfect for winter as although my knees were bare the tall boots kept my legs warm, and with a slip under the denim dress and the pink striped scarf I was nice and cosy. The berry pink of the Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag doesn't match the colours in the scarf exactly, but I liked the two accessories together against the pale denim dress. Really need to wear this dress more, before it heats up too much for it!

This was a nice easy and colourful outfit for the school run and working from home.


Last worn: striped scarf, Target denim dress, knee high boots, Rebecca Minkoff berry MAC.

Other ways to wear: striped scarf and skirt, Target denim dress with red, knee high boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff berry MAC and jeans.

What I wore:

Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

First wearing of this denim tiered maxi dress my mum picked up for me when we were shopping at Kmart recently. It's a really thick and cosy denim, so I went bare armed for a morning in the sun taking part in a citizen science event with the kids. It warmed up quite a lot, after the fog of the morning lifted and I was considering removing the scarf. It was nice to have on in the air-conditioning in the afternoon though when we went to a kids birthday party.

I really like the ombre pink scarf with the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag I redyed, even though just like in the outfit above the pink in the scarf and bag don't match exactly.

With the long line of this denim maxi dress I thought I'd try just a simple crossover scarf and leave it long and loose - something a little different but I liked the long line the scarf created with this dress.


Last worn: pink ombre scarf, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent wardrobe addition.

Other ways to wear: pink ombre scarf and jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag with black and white outfit.

30 Ways To Wear: Asos Grey Skater Dress

It's been a while since I've shared a dress for a 30 ways to wear post! Last dress I hit 30 wears with was a colourful floral maxi dress. This month's post features a much more neutral piece, a cute two tone grey skater dress I picked up on sale at Asos.

30 Ways To Wear: Asos Grey Skater Dress

It won't come as a surprise that this neutral grey block colour skater dress is a really versatile piece to have in my wardrobe!  It has taken a little while to hit 30 wears with it though. I always seemed to pass it over for more "exciting" dresses in my wardrobe. The crew neck and the light grey are things I know don't work for me that well so it's not something I'd rebuy now. But I certainly made it work over the years and I'm glad I hit 30 wears with it!

Cost Per Wear

I picked up this dress on sale for $23.53 at Asos back in July 2014. After just over 7 years I've finally hit 30 wears on it. It is a really versatile dress you can easily dress up or dress down, and the neutral grey goes with everything, but I think the length of time it's taken it to hit 30 wears shows it hasn't really been a staple for my wardrobe. At 78 cents a wear though I've definitely gotten good value for money from this dress, and it's a piece I can easily pass on as it's still in perfect condition!

Skater Dress In The Office

Working in a business casual office environment (that's even more casual post-Covid) means I can easily take a knee length dress like this in a casual tee fabric and just add a blazer or tweed jacket on top to make it instantly office appropriate! I find adding a statement necklace and bold bag works well too, to easy layer up for a day at my desk.

Skater Dress and Boots

This is a dress that's light enough to wear on its own in summer, but also layers so beautifully for cooler weather. It's fantastic with ankle boots and bare legs in autumn, and with leggings and tights for winter. The grey lets you add a pop of colour with cosy winter scarves too as it goes with so many colours!

Grey Dress and Pink Accessories

Grey and pink is a colour combination I wear a lot! I like carrying pink bags with this grey dress, they really pop. A pink scarf works just as well though, as you can see in the middle there. Any amount of pink works well with a grey dress.

Skater Dress and Statement Pieces

While there is a bit of colour blocking with this dress with the light grey top and darker grey skirt, it's still such a good neutral block grey piece. It means you can wear it with other statement pieces without worrying about it making your outfit "too much". I love a nice statement accessory like a bright printed scarf, necklace, or bag, of you could keep it really simple like I have there in the bottom left and just add a bright belt for a bit of a statement touch against the dress.

Grey Dress and Red Accessories

As with the grey and pink above, grey and red is another combo I enjoy! Red scarves are a firm favourite with this dress, as you can see, but a red bag or red statement necklace work just as well! It's a great way to add colour to a neutral piece and make it work a bit better for me, as the pale grey isn't the best against my face on its own.

Grey Skater Dress And Winter Layers

I like getting wear from my dresses year round, and the great thing about this little grey skater dress is how easy it is to layer for cooler weather! The neutral grey goes with everything, allowing for bright scarves or even bright scarves and jackets to be layered on top. It works well with tights and leggings too.

Skater Dress and Kimonos

A pretty printed kimono is my favourite cover up for an outfit, and just with the winter layers above, again the neutral colours of this dress come in really helpful here to allow you to try any combo of prints or colours on top! It works equally well with the neutral striped duster in the bottom right, or the more colourful floral duster in the middle there. Adding a kimono like this over a neutral skater dress is a great way to brighten up your outfit.

Monochrome Flared Skirt Dresses And Chloe Ethel Bag

Two dress outfits with fitted waists and flared skirts! Both are monochromatic, but one is a lot brighter than the other. It's the first wear for one and the 30th wear for the other too.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

I adore this dress! Fellow Aussies probably recognise it as the fuchsia linen dress from Kmart back in summer 2020 that was all over Insta. I was absolutely thrilled to stumble across this in the opshop, and for just $1! Someone had cut out the size label, so I was really pleased to find it fit when I tried it on. The necklace was another thrift find at the same store too, for just $2. Combined with the $3 thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers from another opshop, this really is a bargain outfit. Even the bag itself was a second hand find on eBay, just $120 which isn't bad for something that retailed for over $1,249. I've had a lot of great luck opshopping and second hand shopping this year and this outfit shows that well!

Despite the rain falling down behind me it was a very humid day. It would rain and cool off slightly, then the humidity would crank up, then it would rain again. Perfect day for a bit of indoor shopping at the nearest shopping centre after school drop off  - although everyone else in Brisbane seemed to have the same idea to get out of the rain and enjoy the break in the humidity from the aircon! This was the best dress to wear, comfortable in the humidity but not too cool in the shops with my shoulders covered. We had a productive day, crossing a few more Christmas presents off our list and visiting the library as well before school pick up in the afternoon. Luckily the rain had stopped then.

Last worn: Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe light khaki Ethel bag. First time I've worn the necklace and dress as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: Adidas Superstar sneakers and denim skirt, Chloe light khaki Ethel bag and jeans.

November's Opshop Haul:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: thrifted orange bead statement necklace
Dress: Asos grey skater dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Just like the dress above, this has a fitted waist and a flared skirt, although this outfit was not as cheaply priced as the one above. This dress was a retail buy, although I did pick it up in the sale! The Converse were a full price buy before a trip and turned out to be a good investment - I've had them since my now husband and I were dating and we've been married over 10 years!

I find I like wearing this grey dress more when I add some colour to it, and this newly thrifted necklace was a perfect fit with the kimono, I like how it matched the orange in the print. The Chloe Ethel bag was a nice neutral choice with all the orange colour and I think it went well with the colours in the kimono too. It fits a lot as well so came in helpful for holding water bottles and a couple of distraction toys for the kids in church that morning.


Last worn: orange printed kimono, orange beaded necklace, grey skater dress, black Converse, Chloe small Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wear: orange printed kimono and chambray dress, grey skater dress and leather jacket, black Converse and jeans, Chloe small Ethel bag and midi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey skater dress in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A block colour dress with a flared skirt works perfectly for summer - rain or shine! It's easy to add a little extra colour with a beaded necklace or kimono, and a neutral bag is always a winner.

Layering Dresses For Winter With Printed Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff Avery Crossbody Bag

Feeling like I'd been wearing jeans a lot over winter, I took the opportunity to layer up some of my dresses instead! One slightly dressier outfit for an afternoon out with hubby and another more casual one for the school run.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Forever New skye foil feather scarf in berry / gold
Dress: Zaful floral print ruffle hem dress in ginger
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

This would be totally overdressed for a day at home with the kids! I didn't wear this when we were playing or baking, I just wore it when hubby and I went out in the afternoon to review the photos from our family photo shoot the week before. Took the opportunity to treat it like a mini date night as the hour away from the kids with complimentary drinks while we watched our photo presentation is the closest we will get to a proper date night for a while! 😂

Picked this black leather jacket to wear over the floral dress as it is not as slim fitting as my other one and has more space for the statement flared sleeves on this dress. The burgundy bag and scarf were just being matchy-matchy with the burgundy floral print on the dress. It's the first time I've tried this dress with burgundy (although I have worn the mustard dress with a red bag before) and I really liked this combination!

Since I wasn't going to be walking far I wore my pretty ankle boots - the tiny few centimetre high heel is too unmanageable for my injured knee to walk around in, but it can do a walk from the car to the studio and back again!

Last worn: black leather jacket, burgundy feather print scarf, mustard floral dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and maxi skirt, burgundy feather print scarf with navy, mustard floral dress in summer, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and matching jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

Unboxing Rebecca Minkoff Avery Crossbody Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Dress: Asos grey skater dress with leggings underneath
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

A much more neutral outfit with this little burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag, and a much more casual one! It was a really cold and windy day so I pulled out this navy mac that was just perfect for keeping me warm on the school run. It was a staple of my winter outfits back when I was still commuting to the office, but now I work from home this is it's first wearing this year!

Picked a blue scarf to compliment the navy jacket - this Stella McCartney heart print blanket scarf is so cosy and warm and makes me smile any time I wear it! It was a nice touch of colour and print with the grey skater dress, and it and the coat kept me cosy in the cold evening too when I took my son along to his sports session.

Wasn't sure if the grey leggings with this dress would be too much grey, but I think the colourful accessories and the darker grey of the leggings made this work.

Last worn: navy Macintosh, heart print scarf, grey skater dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody (above).

Other ways to wear: navy Macintosh and pencil skirt, heart print scarf and stripes, grey skater dress worn two ways, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and kimono.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey skater dress in second trimester, Converse in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

You can easily layer up some summer dresses for winter with extra layers - ankle boots, tights or leggings, a cosy jacket and a big printed scarf can help you stay warm. A colourful printed scarf adds an extra pop to your outfit as well - try something colourful with a neutral dress, or match the colour of your scarf to a colour in the print if it's a printed dress you're wearing.

The Magnificent 8: Hello Yellow!

For something different, sharing a Wednesday post again. I am not yet returning to the 3 posts a week I did before Coronavirus hit, this is a special post as I've joined the Magnificent Eight! The theme today is "Hello Yellow", one I had a lot of fun with as I have quite a few yellow pieces in my wardrobe now! 

So I'm sharing two outfits, one I wore on the weekend and the other during the week for the school run. Because even though it's a blog collaboration it wouldn't be my blog if I wasn't showing you what I actually wore, would it! Scroll down to see them and find out more about the Magnificent 8 ladies!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

I had this cardigan in mind for the Hello Yellow theme and was wondering what top to wear with it, as it was so warm I decided on a tank. This tank was also thrifted, just like the cardi, and the yellow in the mixed print works so well with the mustard cardigan! It was an extremely warm day so a scarf wasn't needed, I even rolled up the sleeves of my cardigan for a bit!

Kept the rest of my outfit neutral with the Converse and my black Nobody Denim skinny jeans, and the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. 

Simple but colourful for a warm winter day in the playground. Even though we hadn't had any COVID cases in our state for 8 days at the time I was still a little unsure about taking the kids to a playground for the first time since Iso! I seemed to be the only one worried, the playground was so busy! The kids had a blast playing there even though they had to wait their turn a few times. We used to visit playgrounds regularly before everything happened, so it was nice to get back to it, and easier on my injured knee than the exploring around local trails and empty parks that we have been doing instead the past few months.

Last worn: mustard cardigan, colourful mixed print tank, navy tassel necklace, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan worn two ways, colourful mixed print tank and shorts, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and duster kimono, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy Geo print tassel scarf (c/o)
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This outfit was pulled together from other outfits I've worn before! It's not the first time I've worn the scarf and cardigan together, and I really liked this yellow tee last time I wore it with olive green jeans so I wanted to try it with these green jeans as well. I added the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag as it matches so nicely with the navy scarf and cardigan, and again was a nice neutral with the bright top and jeans.

Was a quiet day - doing the school run and taking the little one out to hunt for more books at the opshops. With it being No Buy July I wasn't going to browse for clothes but thought we could go have a look for some books. The kids always like picking up a book or two whenever we stop at an opshop. And with getting back into reading over Iso after my neighbour started up a virtual book club, I wanted to have a browse of the books for myself as well! Was a fun way to spend a small part of the morning after school drop off.

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, navy mixed print scarf, yellow tee, green skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, navy mixed print scarf and shorts, yellow tee and maxi skirt, green skinny jeans and matching scarves, white Converse and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Yellow is such a cheerful colour to wear - and it pairs well with other brights too! Try it with green, blue, navy, or keep it simple and stick with neutral black skinny jeans.

Two Ways To Wear a Mustard Cardigan: With Green and Orange

This mustard cardigan was an awesome opshop find and just $2! It's a great way to add more colour to a winter outfit. I decided to be really colourful when I wore it recently and paired it with some other bright colours: green and orange.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

I really like green with yellow, and it's not the first time I've worn these green skinny jeans with yellow. I loved the bright combination, nice and cheerful for a wet day. It started raining on me as I took these pics!

Thankfully we didn't get too wet at school pick up and drop off, and the rest of the day I was working from home so I was cosy and dry. Jeans and a tee is a perfect work from home outfit, and this cardigan was a much dressier alternative for keeping warm than my daggy old bathrobe when I had a zoom call 😂

With the turquoise tassel necklace adding a little more colour too I went with a neutral bag, this Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag is a classic that goes with so much.

Last worn: mustard cardigan, stripe tee, turquoise tassel necklace, green skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag. 

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and navy dress, stripe tee worn two ways, green skinny jeans with blue, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and floral dresses. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Whats In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

This was inspired by an outfit I saw on Instagram on theshoestringshopper. As soon as I saw her orange and yellow outfit I wanted to try it myself with this orange tee and my mustard yellow cardigan. She was inspired by someone else to try it too, it's good seeing how inspiration spreads on Instagram!

I really liked this combo! It was something very different for me and I did feel very visible for school pickup and drop off and sitting on the sidelines of the gym as my son returned to his regular sports sessions. Feels like life is getting so busy now that things are reopening, but it's good to return to regular routines.

Despite a busy evening, we still had plenty of time for a browse in Kmart after dropping my eldest son off at school. No luck getting more pantry containers I'd hoped for, the stock shortage is painfully clear in many aisles. My little one did help me pick out some more Little People, Big Dreams books for our collection though! Kmart has them for $8 each, half the price of everywhere else I've seen them.

Stuck with the Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag to balance out the brights, as well as my grey skinny jeans as black felt a bit too harsh.

Last worn: mustard cardigan (above), marigold tee, tortoiseshell necklace, grey skinny jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag (above). 

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and chambray skirt, marigold tee over a dress, grey skinny jeans and leopard print, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and maxi dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Mustard is a very versatile shade of yellow! You can use a mustard cardigan to bring some colour to darker or neutral winter layers. It works equally well paired with other bright things in your outfit too like the green skinny jeans or the orange tee.

2 Ways To Wear A Grey Skater Dress: Colourful and Simple | Weekday Wear Link Up

Well what a difference a few weeks makes in this crazy new world. I wore these outfits back in April, just 3 weeks ago. Life is so different now! Australia has a roadmap for lifting all the restrictions after Coronavirus, and we are currently in stage one that gives us a lot more freedom than when I wore this dress! This was my only time going out that week, but now I'm out of the house multiple times a week for the school run.

I added a lot of colour to wear this dress for staying at home, but then simplified it later in the day when we went out to the doctors to get all of our flu shots.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Dress: Asos grey skater dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas

Why I wore it:

I like this little grey skater dress but it really needs to be worn more! With a morning at home on a slightly cooler autumn day, I decided to dress it up a little with this duster kimono instead of my go-to  at home cover up, my cosy old bath robe! I really liked how this made me feel a little more pulled together and dressed up, and I liked the bright colours the floral print added. Kimonos are great for that.

I still felt the outfit was missing a little something though so I added in a bright necklace too. The kids enjoyed the necklace as well! They always play with my accessories whenever we have a cuddle.

This was an easy and comfortable outfit and simple to change afterwards when we headed out.


Last worn: floral duster kimono, statement necklace, grey skater dress, Havaianas.

Other ways to wear: floral duster kimono and shorts, grey skater dress worn two other ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey skater dress in second trimester.

What's In My Bag: Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere

---

What I wore:

Dress: Asos grey skater dress
Shoes: New Balance white and blue sneakers
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

This is the simplified version of the outfit above, that I wore out the house to head to the doctors. No extra cover up, as it was warmer by then and I just wanted an easy outfit I could wash as soon as I got home. I left the necklace at home too so it wouldn't get covered in germs - especially with holding the kids close for their flu vaccinations, I didn't want them playing with it and possibly transferring germs.

I've been using my Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag a lot recently, but this time around I went with my Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere. Just in case the kids needed their water bottles (both fit in here) and because I could wipe this down when we got home and sanitise it.

And of course my New Balance sneakers as they are the only shoes I am wearing out of the house at the moment!

Thankfully the vaccinations went well - both kids were really brave and we were in and out quite quickly. I was glad we could go as a family so hubby and I could take a kid each, even if it meant we took up the entire surgery as they can't have more than 4 people in the (small) waiting room at a time!


Last worn: grey skater dress (above), New Balance sneakers, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere.

Other ways to wear: grey skater dress and Converse, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey skater dress in second trimester, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere in third trimester.
