Graphic Tees and Printed Shorts With Lilac Numero Neuf Mini Bag

An easy solution for the summer heat and humidity in Brisbane - shorts and tee outfits! Wearing some graphic tees with these soft printed shorts to try keep cool for working from home days.

What I wore:

Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
Tee: teal Strange Planet 'wildly unprepared for the day' graphic tee
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Could not resist wearing this Strange Planet graphic tee again. "Wildly unprepared for the day" being a perfect slogan for the return to school after summer break! It was such a hot day in the heatwave, I was glad when the kids were happily in their classrooms and I could head home to work in the air conditioning! Sadly the humidity hadn't dropped much in the afternoon for school pickup when we had a quick errand to run.

Although there is no teal in the print on these soft culotte shorts I really liked the navy background with the teal tee, such a good combination. The lilac Polene numero neuf mini bag also didn't match anything, but I thought it was a good accessory with the pastel in the graphic print on the tee and on the shorts.


Last worn: star earrings, Strange Planet graphic tee, navy printed culotte shorts, tan slides, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: Strange Planet graphic tee and denim skirt, navy printed culotte shorts and cardigan, tan slides and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and dress.

Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag Unboxing:

---

What I wore:

Tee: Kisschasy The Final Roar band tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: black matte slim Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

This outfit was a little more matchy-matchy than the one above, with the black and white printed shorts, black Havaianas, and the black and white band tee. This Kisschasy tee is such a favourite of mine, and while it has a busy print I think it worked well with the print on the shorts as they are both black and white. With the monochromatic black and white colour scheme, the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag was a fun touch of colour.

Had a lot of errands to try cram into the morning before working from home, and then luckily a more relaxed evening.


Last worn: Kisschasy band tee, printed shorts, black Havaianas, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Kisschasy band tee and maxi skirt, printed shorts in monochrome outfit, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag with pink.

Perfect for pregnancy: Kisschasy band tee in second trimester.

Graphic Tees, Linen Shorts and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

More photos from our Sea World Resort staycation for today's Weekday Wear Link Up! I kept things simple and comfortable for our days exploring the theme parks, with linen shorts and graphic tees. the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was a good size for carrying everything we needed, yet small enough to leave in the lockers at the side of the rides when we rode.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono
Tee: Canada bear graphic tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Grabbed this opportunity to get an outfit pic after just coming off the Wild West Falls ride you see behind me, so I was a little drenched from the splashdown! It was lots of fun though, although not one of my son's favourite rides. Maybe when he's a bit older!

Although the blue in the graphic print on the tee doesn't match the turquoise of the linen shorts, I really liked the two together! And I added the printed cover up on top mostly for the extra sun protection, as we walked around the theme park all day. I liked those the little mustard triangles in the print complimented the yellows and oranges in the graphic of the tee.

Last worn: printed cover up, graphic tee, linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and dress, graphic tee and jeans, linen shorts and white tee, Sketchers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and denim.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee 
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this for our trip down to the resort, and quickly realised once we were checked in and exploring the theme park that the denim jacket was a really silly idea for such a hot day! It had been a cooler morning when we had driven down the coast, but warmed up quickly, and the jacket spent most of the day in my bag as we jumped around between rides. I was thankful for it when we went out for dinner in the evening though and it had gotten cooler.

Again, the graphic print on this Kisschasy band tee doesn't really match the rust orange of the linen shorts, but I felt they were close enough together that this outfit worked. Especially with the dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag matching the black background on the tee nicely!


Last worn: denim jacket, Kisschasy band tee, orange linen shorts, Sketchers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Kisschasy band tee and jeans, orange linen shorts and floral print, Sketchers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

Turquoise and Band Tees

Adding some turquoise cover ups over band tees for some bright and colourful casual outfits lately.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Tee: The Getaway Plan yellow paint splatter band tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Just a nice simple jeans and tee outfit for a playdate. I wanted to add a little extra cover with this fun tropical print cover up, and I thought all the colours helped break up the bee-like yellow tee and black jeans nicely, especially when paired with the turquoise and silver bracelet stack.

The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag of course goes with everything and has been a staple go-to for me!


Last worn: tropical print cover up, yellow band tee, bracelet stack, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: tropical print cover up and denim skirt, yellow band tee with grey, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted pastel Paisley print cape (new purchase)
Tee: Kisschasy The Final Roar band tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts (new purchase)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

Finally making the most of warmer weather and wearing some of the things I bought at the opshop last month. I will always thrift pieces I like, even if it means I need to wait for the weather to change before I can wear them. I thought this pastel print cover up worked so well with the turquoise linen shorts. The shorts were a hit at school drop off, they are such a nice colour! I have the same pair in fuchsia that I thrifted last year, and really enjoyed wearing them last summer so I'm confident these turquoise ones will get just as much wear.

Wasn't too sure if the black and white print of this band tee would work with the printed cover up, but I'm glad I gave it a go for something different! With the turquoise in the print, the matching turquoise shorts, and the matching pastel bag, that the print clash was the only standout of the outfit. It was nice to try something different too!


Last worn: white band tee, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody. First time I've worn the cover up and the linen shorts as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: white band tee and maxi skirt, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: white band tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Black Tops, Red Jeans, and Cardigans

Wearing some red jeans with black tops and cardigans recently. Again, just like Monday's post, I accessorised with my Converse Chucks and my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag that is certainly getting a workout after I found it at the opshop!

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee 
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! The kids had to hand in their science projects at school, and we got to tour the displays and see what everyone had done. There are some really creative kids! I wore this simple band tee and jeans outfit, as I had to cart around all the project stuff for the school run, and then I was working from home before picking the kids up from school in the afternoon.

Although the red in the band tee is a lighter red than the jeans, I thought they worked well together. And I added a third shade of red with the dinosaur skeleton earrings.


Last worn: grey cardigan, dinosaur earrings, Kisschasy band tee, burgundy jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: grey cardigan and dress, Kisschasy band tee and maxi skirt, burgundy jeans and stripes, Converse and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Tank: lace bib black swing tank from mum's wardrobe
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a busy but also fun day. My son and I had a couple errands to run and a lot of items to drop off at the workshop, as our clear out and reorganisation at home continues. Although he was a little upset there were no toys he wanted at the opshop, we did get him some cute clothes and I picked up a pair of shorts and a cute dress for myself too!

This is the first time I've worn the lace trim tank on the blog - it's from my mum's wardrobe, she had given me a few things she no longer wanted and let me try on a few things before donating, and I couldn't let this cute tank go. The red jeans really pop against the tank and the leopard print cardigan adds a little extra interest too, although I did take it off between errands in the morning as the day warmed up a lot. We had my parents over in the evening too.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, red jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above). First time I've worn the tank as it's a recent addition to my wardrobe, from my mum's wardrobe.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and white jeans, red jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and denim dress.
 
Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Band Tees and Maxi Skirts With Turquoise Balenciaga First Bag

While I have been favouring my jeans so far this winter, I do enjoy wearing my maxi skirts in the cold weather too! Layered up these two maxi skirts recently with some band tees, and a pop of colour with my Balenciaga first bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee (new purchase)
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

This band tee is a new wardrobe addition! I was so sad when Kisschasy did their final tour a few years ago, but they reunited for a series of gigs this year and I unfortunately couldn't make it. When they put the merch online though I knew I had to grab a tee to add to my Kisschasy band tee collection!

With the double denim of this chambray maxi skirt and white denim jacket outfit, I think the bright red and yellow in the graphic print really popped. Wore the Balenciaga Blue India first bag for a little extra colour, even though the outfit didn't really need it. Comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers too for the school run, working from home and a little driving around after school pick up to run errands.


Last worn: white denim jacket, chambray maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga first bag. First time I've worn the tee as it is a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and sundress, chambray maxi skirt worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and stripe dress, Balenciaga first bag and shorts.

What's In My Bag: Balenciaga First

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Tee: Kisschasy The Final Roar band tee
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

This was a much colder winter day than the one above! Similar routine, with the school run and working from home, and also a little trip to the vets for Cooper. As it was a bit chillier than I had expected, but I'd already planned out this outfit to wear, I just added this cosy leather jacket on top instead of the denim jacket I had planned. It made for a very neutral outfit, with the black and white printed band tee and the black leather jacket, black maxi skirt, and black ankle boots. I think that the Balenciaga first bag really shines here as a great pop of colour!


Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, Kisschasy Final Roar band tee, black maxi skirt, black ankle boots, Balenciaga first bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and leopard print, Kisschasy Final Roar band tee and jeans, black maxi skirt at Disney, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Balenciaga first bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Kisschasy Final Roar band tee in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

Blue Tees, Pink Jeans, Grey Cardigans and Luna Blue Edie Bag

Another fun set of colourful and comfortable jeans and tee outfits. Both following the simple outfit formula of blue tee, pink jeans, converse and a grey cardigan with my Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

These pink leopard print jeans were definitely overdue another wear! I really like wearing them with blue, so it was an easy choice to wear the blue Converse Chucks and blue tee with them. While it was a warmer winter day and a scarf wasn't needed, I did add this grey cardi. 

Although the pink and rose gold necklace isn't an exact match to the pink of the leopard print, I thought that was a nice combination. My Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag is a great blue that goes with everything, so again while it didn't match I liked it in this outfit. It fit a library book inside my bag too as we took advantage of the public holiday and took the kids to an indoor play place. It was a beautiful day and all the other businesses in the area were shut for the holiday, so I was happy this place was open as it meant it was a little quieter than it usually is on a weekend. Perfect time to take the kids, they had a blast, and I got some reading time in as they jumped around on the play equipment!

Last worn: grey belted cardigan, blue tee, pink and gold beaded necklace, pink leopard print jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: grey belted cardigan and maxi dress, blue tee and culottes, pink leopard print jeans with black, blue Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and orange skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink leopard print jeans and hidden baby bump.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Jacket: Jeanswest Alice longline Australian wool cardigan
Dress: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

A very different shade of pink here, but again following the same formula as the outfit above. Pink jeans, blue tee and grey cardigan! I went with the magenta Sass and Bide jeans and the blue graphic print tee instead, to switch it up a little. No necklace this time as the design on the tee felt like enough interest for my outfit. The grey wool cardigan is a super cosy one, I needed it as it was a really cold August winter day, and I wanted the extra warmth! Did regret my choice a little though. We were heading out for a bit of shopping and to grab lunch with my mum - the shopping centre had the heaters on blast for the cold day and I was definitely sweating in this, much too warm! Needed it when we stepped back outside though.

As with the first outfit, again the Luna blue of the Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag didn't match any of the shades in the outfit, but I thought it went nicely with the blue and grey still. Nice and comfortable for a quiet weekend day, just a little too warm in the shops.

Just realised when writing up this post that this is the first time I've worn this cardigan since I rescued it from my desk when I went back into the office in 2021, it had been locked away in a closed down office since 2020. 😂


Last worn: grey maxi cardigan, heart studs, Kisschasy band tee, magenta jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: grey maxi cardigan worn 30 ways, Kisschasy band tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and floral kimono, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and culottes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and pink are a winning combination, and a statement pair of pink jeans can really brighten up a jeans and tee outfit.

Printed Skirts and Band Tees With Converse and Edie Bag

Getting some of my band tees out again, and pairing them with printed skirts and Converse back at the end of summer. The Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag in Luna blue was a great accessory with both outfits, it's a shade that goes with so many other blues!

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Top: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a relaxing weekend day. We had a couple of errands to run, a trip to the library, and then some time at the bike track with the kids. I was inspired by the model on the Ghanda site wearing the red version of this skirt with a band tee and Converse to wear this outfit with my Kisschasy band tee. I wasn't too sure it worked - still getting used to this skirt! I think if I had tucked in the tee like I did the first time I wore this skirt with a tee, I would have liked this outfit just a little more. This skirt is a fun challenge to have in my wardrobe, encouraging me to try new things!

With the blue tee, blue bag and blue Converse I added a little more blue with this turquoise and silver bracelet stack I got for Christmas. All shades go so nicely with the green of this skirt, I really like blue and green together!


Last worn: Kisschasy cassette tape tee, Tiffany diamond necklace, green daisy print midi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: Kisschasy cassette tape tee and striped skirt, green daisy print midi skirt and white tee, blue Converse and navy printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and denim skirt.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Tee: The Getaway Plan yellow paint splatter band tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Another colourful outfit! Nice and comfortable for what was supposed to be a quiet day working from home with an appointment in the afternoon. Ended up cancelling my appointment as bad weather was predicted. The weather ended up being really bad when it did arrive, although this day was still sunny. As I'd planned this outfit out before I cancelled my appointment I decided to still wear it anyway. Colourful for the school run, but then not really seen for the rest of the day as I worked from home, ha!

Despite the blues in this tie dye skirt being different from the blues in the first outfit, again I think this Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag really works. I didn't need such a big bag as I only left the house for the school run but it saved the hassle of changing to another smaller bag. Was good to give this yellow band tee another wear too, definitely should wear it more often, yellow is so cheerful!


Last worn: The Getaway Plan yellow band tee, tie dye maxi skirt, blue Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: The Getaway Plan yellow band tee and skirt, tie dye maxi skirt with pink, blue Converse and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and navy dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Printed band tees pair equally well with printed skirts, and of course Converse will always be a staple shoe choice with a band tee!

Thrifted Orange Skirts and Kisschasy Band Tees

Easy outfits for warmer Spring days a few weeks ago. Featuring two very similarly coloured orange maxi skirts that are both lucky opshop finds! Wearing them with sneakers and some old Kisschasy band tees.

What I wore:

Tee: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

This was a causal outfit for a fun playdate at the park. Took my youngest along so he could meet some of his future classmates, as he starts school next year! Time is flying by. It was really nice that there were some other Kindy mums and a few of his Kindy friends there, hopefully they will all be in the same class at school for Prep. Wanted to be comfortable so I went with this long ochre maxi skirt. The kind of piece that was perfect for chatting with the other parents while also running around in the playground at times with my son.

Because I love orange and blue together, decided to give this old Kisschasy band tee another wear. It made me feel a little old though, when my son pointed out that what is rather obvious to me cassette tape wheels looked like car tires. 😂 Just obsolete technology! Unfortunately his interest in the tee and a little bit of shyness at all the new friends meant I ended up covered in strawberry stains and ended up having to get changed before our BBQ that evening.

Couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with the blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag with this too, and I was pleased I'd picked the Adidas Superstar sneakers to wear as they were really comfortable.

Last worn: Kisschasy cassette tape band tee, ochre maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: Kisschasy cassette tape band tee and printed skirt, ochre maxi skirt and winter layers, Adidas Superstar sneakers and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and blue dress.

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection

---

What I wore:

Tee: band tee from KissChasy "Bones and skin" tour
Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

How cute is this skirt? It was just $1 at the opshop so I couldn't say no, even though it's such a similar colour to the maxi skirt above. Such a good thrift find. Paired with a little crossbody bag, Converse and another Kisschasy band tee, it did feel a little like an outfit teenage me would have worn. But I loved it! The ruffles on this skirt made me happy for a quiet day with the school run, a couple errands, and a trip to the library.

This Kisschasy band tee was from their 2008 Bones and Skin tour, when my sister got injured during the gig and we ended up watching the rest from the TVs at the side of the bar getting basic first aid and then spending the night at hospital. Definitely an eventful show! I'd bought the tee before the show started and was wearing it in the hospital where the doctor already figured out where we had been from my tee as she loved the song too! It definitely fits a little tighter now 13 years later than it did pre-babies and in my teen years so I'm not sure I'll wear this again. It's gone back into my big box of various band tees (I used to buy one from every gig) as a memento instead, as that was definitely a night to remember!

The skirt is definitely staying in my regular wardrobe rotation though - adorable with Converse and I like the burnt orange with the burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.

Last worn: Kisschasy Bones and Skin band tee, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody. First time I've worn the rust ruffle skirt as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Kisschasy Bones and Skin band tee and gold jeans, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and little black dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Band tees are a wardrobe essential for many - they look great with jeans, but it's easy to mix it up a little and try them with a skirt instead - maxi or mini.
