Denim Dresses With Yellow Mini 5 Zip Bag and Yellow Necklaces

Two denim dress outfits for spring, both accessorised with this adorable little yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. It works well with the different denim washes.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

Got this denim maxi dress out again for another kids' birthday party. It's quite a thick denim and warm dress so I'm not sure I'll be able to wear it much over summer, but I love the darker wash and the long maxi length. Because it buttons fully I'd be able to wear it as a duster as well, although I have only worn it as a dress so far.

Despite being a warmer dress it was perfect on this day, and I liked the simple braided sandals with it. I wanted to add a little extra colour with all that darker blue denim, so I added the chartreuse necklace and then the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini5 zip bag. Even though they are not the same shades of yellow I liked the two pieces together against the blue denim.


Last worn: denim maxi dress, chartreuse necklace, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: denim maxi dress and leather jacket, braided sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

Another denim dress for another spring day! I needed something nice and simple for a busy day, with an appointment for my son in the morning and then working from home for the rest of the day. This tiered denim dress is so comfortable and I liked the extra blue with the Converse sneakers. Like the outfit above, again I chose the little yellow mini 5 zip bag to add some colour.

And I chose this silver and yellow pendant necklace to follow the same outfit formula as the outfit above. It pairs so well with the bag too. I like a little bit of matchy-matchy with my accessories sometimes!


Last worn: tiered denim dress, yellow necklace, blue Converse sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: tiered denim dress with red, blue Converse sneakers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and skirt.

Tiered Maxi Dresses and Leopard Print Scarves

Adding a little extra colour and print to two Kmart tiered maxi dress outfits for Brisbane's winter with leather jackets and leopard print scarves.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Supre neon pink leopard print scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Felt this scarf was overdue a wear - an impulse $5 sale buy when I walked past a store years ago, I still love it today! With the denim tiered maxi dress, I felt it added a nice pop of colour and print, and with the black leather jacket, kept me cosy for a cold winter day. I had the school run, an appointment for my youngest, then dropping him off at school for the rest of the day and running a few errands myself before school pick up.

The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was a practical choice to carry all the little extras I needed over the day. The navy Sketchers sneakers were a practical choice too as the appointment was at a specialist a bit of a drive away and I needed something comfortable to wear on my knee with all that driving, as I aggravated my old knee injury again when walking the dogs.

Last worn: black leather jacket, leopard print scarf, denim dress, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and printed jeans, leopard print scarf and knit, denim dress without jacket, Sketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and band tee.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: ASOS crinkle oversized leopard print scarf
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Surprised to see I haven't worn this orange tiered midi dress with this cobalt jacket before, it's such a fun and colourful winter combination! I needed a little extra warmth for an early morning appointment for myself, and yet more errands. I added the leopard print scarf just like in the outfit above for a little extra print. I liked this outfit formula in both of these resulting outfits, it was good to wear it again!

I did end up taking the jacket off when it warmed up a little later that morning though, wasn't a necessity for a little opshop browsing I did before I headed home. Just like the outfit above, I'd picked the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag to wear as I had a few things and some paperwork to carry around.

Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, silver earrings, leopard print scarf, orange tiered maxi dress, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, leopard print scarf and ombre knit, orange tiered maxi dress and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

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.

Blue Long Sleeved Dresses With Pink Mini MAC Bag

Making the most of warmer weekends back in Autumn and wearing two pretty blue dresses with a little pink bag for some birthday parties!

What I wore:

Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! We had a family birthday to celebrate, so I wanted to wear this pretty Jaase autumn leaves print dress again. While it was a cooler morning, with the ankle boots and the longer sleeves on the dress I felt fine wearing this and going bare-legged. It was so good to spend time with family!

We also took the opportunity to stop by the shelter we adopted Cooper from to do a meet and greet with a little puppy we'd fallen in love with online. She and Cooper seemed friendly, so this is what I was wearing when we adopted Bonnie. The ankle boots were a good choice and very practical for running around in the meet and greet yard with the dogs.


Last worn: Mimco earrings, silhouette necklace, tan ankle boots, Jaase dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tan ankle boots and jeans, Jaase dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and stripes.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: Colette crescent purple and gold necklace
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another birthday party day, this one was a little cooler so I was grateful for the thicker denim fabric on this tiered dress. It kept me nice and cosy as I caught up with my friends at a bowling party, the kids were very entertained with playing a couple rounds of bowling and then enjoying the arcade before having some delicious cake!

Because the denim fabric on this dress kept me warm and we were indoors for the party anyway, I just went with comfortable Converse sneakers. not as cosy as ankle boots, but perfect for this day.

I added a little more colour with the magenta crescent necklace and again my little redyed pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. I really like this pink bag with different shades of blue!


Last worn: earrings, crescent necklace, tiered denim dress, leather Converse sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC (above)

Other ways to wear: tiered denim dress and red, leather Converse sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC and jeans.

Tiered Dresses, Denim Jacket and Red Saddle Bag

Getting my tiered dresses out again with denim jackets for spring. I wore my little Rebecca Minkoff red studded saddle bag with both outfits, despite the different colours of each dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Ana Luisa 'Olivia' tassel earrings in pink
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs suede flats in red
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a family night out at church, and dinner afterwards. It was a little chilly so the denim jacket was a definitely must over this cap sleeve maxi dress. With the red and pink in the floral print, I decided to go with both pink and red accessories. Its been far too long since I last wore these red suede ballet flats, I loved wearing them again. And I thought the pink tassel earrings, although not the same shade of pink as in the print, was a nice nod to both colours in the print. With the statement earrings I felt fine without adding a necklace to this as well.

With the red shoes the red bag was a nice matchy-matchy choice. Like the shoes, its felt like its been a while since I last wore this saddle bag, and it was overdue a wear. Perfect for a family night out.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, pink tassel earrings, floral print tiered maxi dress, red suede flats, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and leopard skirt, floral print tiered maxi dress worn two ways, red suede flats and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: red suede flats in second trimester

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket

Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Another tiered dress and denim jacket outfit for spring! I had the school run, working from home, and then I went to the kids award ceremony in the afternoon. This Kmart amber tiered midi dress was perfect for all those activities, it's so comfortable to wear, especially paired with sneakers like these Adidas Superstars.

Like the first outfit, I felt like wearing some pretty earrings, so went with these cute daisy ones. They aren't as statement making as the pink tassel ones I wore in the first outfit, so I felt like adding a necklace too. I've been embracing orange and red a lot so this coral necklace seemed like a good choice, especially when I went matchy-matchy with the little red saddle bag. I need to wear this rust dress with red accessories more often!


Last worn: denim jacket, daisy earrings, coral necklace, amber midi dress, Adidas Superstar, red saddle bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, amber midi dress worn 2 ways, Adidas Superstar and stripe dress, red saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Leather Jackets And Dresses

Making these two dresses suitable for winter temperatures with the black leather jacket I recently bought at Gladrags Markets. The first outfit, I wore this month and could go bare legged, the second I wore back in July when it was a lot colder and fleece lined tights were a must!

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen magenta skull scarf in roses print
Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Spent some time with my mum and sister in the morning, getting haircuts (just a trim for me, as I'm still desperately trying to grow my hair out to donate again) and doing some dress shopping for an upcoming event.

Unfortunately the traffic coming back from up the coast made me a little late for dinner with some mum friends in the evening. I wasn't sure how long I'd be down the coast for so dressed for both things in case I didn't have time to change, thankfully. I didn't need the leather jacket for most of the day but I was so grateful for it at night, as it and the skull scarf kept me warm. 


Last worn: black leather jacket, skull scarf, earrings, tiered denim dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and skirt, skull scarf and stripes, tiered denim dress and red, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: skull scarf in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

A super cold morning meant layering up this little light pastel floral print viscose babydoll dress a bit for the school run and some errands. With the black fleece lined tights, black ankle boots and the black leather jacket and dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, I feel the pretty pastel floral print on this dress stands out really well. I added a little bit of matching with the floral print with my daisy earrings, although the colours are completely different I liked the additional florals against all the dark black.


Last worn: daisy earrings (above), leather jacket (above), Tiffany necklace, pastel floral dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and maxi skirt, pastel floral dress and blazer, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and jeans.
