Orange and White Skirt and Tee Outfits With Olive Crossbody Bag

Sharing two very different tee and skirt outfits I wore recently, although both feature orange and white with my little olive mini Darren bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

I always like wearing thrifted pieces together! I picked up this rust linen skirt back in December, and I thrifted this chunky wooden bead statement necklace from the same opshop in March. While the white tee and rust button up skirt looked lovely together, I felt a necklace was really missing from this outfit, and the chunky navy and teal wooden beads were perfect against the white tee.

I really did not have to carry much, with nothing on the agenda other than a swimming lesson for my son as we'd had to move his regular lesson out to a different day. The little olive Darren bag was perfect for carrying the barest of essentials that I needed for the day.

I liked wearing the rust skirt to bring some autumn colour to my outfit, even if the weather here is still firmly set to summer!


Last worn: white speckle tee, rust linen skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: white speckle tee and blazer, rust linen skirt and stripes, Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren bag with mustard.

My Latest Purchases For March - Target Sale and Thrift Haul

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: Target classic denim skirt in white  (new purchase)

Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

Since I enjoyed the white, orange and olive combination in the first outfit, I repeated it again a couple days later for a very rare day off! I had a bunch of leave from work to use up, so took the kids to school, had an unproductive stop at the opshop where I came home empty handed, and a glorious massage before getting a few things done at home then picking the kids up from school. It was a nice relaxing day.

As I only had myself to worry about, again the little Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren bag was all I needed for the bare essentials. And I really do love the way the olive  works with this bright neon orange leopard print tee as well as it did with the rust skirt in the first outfit!

It was also a good excuse to wear this white denim skirt I picked up at Target in March. I figured that a day mostly to myself would mean it would stay clean, but of course I managed to cover it in chocolate, ha! Thankfully it washed out easy.


Last worn: orange Sass and Bide tee, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, Tiffany 5th Avenue heart necklace, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren (above). First time I've worn the denim skirt as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: orange Sass and Bide tee and maxi skirt, Converse and chambray dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Chloe Small Paraty, Denim, And Statement Cover Ups

Adding a little extra interest to a plain tee and denim outfit in both of these outfits with statement cover ups. A fun sequin piece and a long flowing duster help to make these outfits stand out a little more.

What I wore:

Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Had a bit of a trim for my hair. It's really not growing as fast as I'd like (I'm trying to donate it again) so I thought a little trim would speed up the process! Spent some time shopping afterwards, as well as all going out for lunch. I didn't buy anything for myself but we did have fun buying some birthday presents for the kids and taking advantage of some of the sales to do so!

This sequin kimono is so beautiful and statement-making, one of the sales assistants in the shops said I was "very Harry Styles", haha! I love seeing people's reactions when I wear this, even on just a standard day out shopping with the family. It always makes people smile, I love wearing it! As I said to my sister, it is definitely designed for dancing the night away, but it also just brings me so much joy wearing it with everyday outfits.

Without it this deep purple tee and distressed denim skirt was a bit plain, I really liked how it elevated the outfit a bit. And I loved how similar this purple Chloe Paraty bag is with the deep purple of the tee, they are the perfect pairing.


Last worn: sequin kimono, earrings, coin necklace, stone pendant necklace, purple tee, distressed denim skirt, Havaianas, Chloe purple small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: sequin kimono worn 2 ways, purple tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Chloe purple small Paraty bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple tee in third trimester.

What's In My Bag: Chloe Small Paraty

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Kmart Dnight navy textured v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty 

Why I wore it:

With the blue tee, blue necklace, distressed denim shorts, periwinkle Paraty, and navy Havaianas, this was a very monochromatic blue outfit! This statement duster was a nice way to add a little more colour to my outfit. I really like blue and green together!

Just like this outfit above, adding the extra duster layer on top helped me feel more pulled together. It was a quiet day, just having a playdate with one of my son's friends.


Last worn: green floral duster, blue necklace, navy tee, distressed denim shorts, Havaianas (above), Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and jeans, navy tee and fuchsia pink, distressed denim shorts and stripe tee, Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag and printed shorts.

Striped Tees and Denim Skirts

Hot days at the end of summer recently called for a simple striped tee and skirt combo! Both of these outfits are the same basic pieces but the different striped tees, denim colour, and accessories changed up these looks a bit.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: thrifted Cotton On orange and white stripe The One crew neck tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty 

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a really fun day with the kids - we went to Sea World theme park for the day. It was such a hot and sticky day, it was no surprise when it started raining. I'd packed the kids waterproof jackets, although I'd hoped I wouldn't need an umbrella so foolishly didn't bring one. It was a warm enough day that we weren't cold getting wet in the rain, and we were able to go on a lot more rides when the rain started as it got quieter in the park.

The printed cover up was a fun bit of print mixing with the orange striped tee, I liked the matching colours in the print. While it was a nice physical sunblock in the morning, it wasn't the best to wear in the rain as it just got wet and stuck to me, ha! But I kept it on as it did dry quickly in between the rain showers.

Despite the rain we had a wonderful day, saw some shows, lots of cute animals, and of course went on so many rides. I was glad I'd worn my Sketchers sneakers. While they are fabric and were not the best in the rain, they were comfortable and supportive for my knee with all the walking around we did.


Last worn: printed cover up, orange stripe tee, stone pendant necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, Sketchers, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and dress, orange stripe tee and button up skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and leopard print, Sketchers and shorts, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag and printed shorts.

My Chloe Handbag Collection

*************

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was a pretty quiet day with the school run and working from home. Surprisinly I hadn't worn this denim skirt and striped tee toeghet before, seems like such an obvious combo! I wasn't sure if it seemed a bit too monochromatic white after I beleached this skirt - but it felt just blue enough that there was a difference between the white stripes and the bleached denim so I gave it a wear. I felt that the purple Chloe paraty bag added a big enough pop of colour with those light colours in my outfit too, and the big red logo on the tee.

This was super comfortable for a day with the school run, and working from home while the kids were at school.

Last worn: striped Coca-Cola tee, denim mini skirt, Havaianas, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: striped Coca-Cola tee and jeans, denim mini skirt and leopard print, Chloe purple Paraty bag and dress.

Black, White and Grey Outfits With Pink Crossbody Bag

Adding a little pop of pink to neutral black, white and grey outfits with my Rebecca Minkoff iris pink mini 5-zip bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Vienna Awaits' floral print kimono
Necklace: Kmart pink multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Felt like I hadn't worn this pretty printed black and white cover up in a while, it was definitely overdue a wear! Kept the rest of my outfit neutral with the black Nobody denim skirt, and the grey tee, although the tee is a little deceptive. It's got a pink panel on the back, which although you can't see it in the photos, was visible through the sheer fabric on the back of the cover up. With that I added a pink beaded necklace and my little pink iris Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag too, for a little matchy-matchy pink even though the shades differ.

It was a very hot day, but we had a nice relaxing one, dropping my eldest off with his friends for a playdate, a trip to the library with the little one, and then catching up with friends in the afternoon before picking up my eldest from his playdate.


Last worn: black and white cover up, wooden bead necklace, grey tee, Nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip.

Other ways to wear: black and white cover up and maxi dress, grey tee knotted over a dress, Nobody Denim skirt and leopard print, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee in second trimester.

What Fits Inside: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Again with another black and white cover up! I like the black embellishment on this one, so paired it with the black printed shorts. I felt they hadn't been worn in a while either! They were perfect for a hot day as they are nice and light. It was a little busy with the school run, some errands, and working from home before school pick up in the afternoon and then a little last minute shopping for a present for a birthday party that weekend.

I wore another grey tee. I like the darker colour of this one, and although I did add a little pink to it as well with the blush and gold necklace, the pink mini 5-zip bag was the main touch of colour in this outfit.


Last worn: embellished cover up, grey tunic, gold and blush necklace, black printed shorts, sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff pink Iris mini 5-zip (above).

Other ways to wear: embellished cover up and denim, grey tunic and green midi skirt, black printed shorts and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris mini 5-zip and floral dress.

Thrifted Camis, Floral Cover Ups, and Studded MAB Crossbody Bag

Another wear of these two camis I got from the opshop just before Christmas, in the awesome "Fill a bag for $10" sale, making them both less than $1 each.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace (Christmas present)
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

When I thrifted this cami before Christmas I thought it might be a little tricky to style as I don't have any of this dusky pink in my wardrobe. But I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the little Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag works with it! They are very similar shades.

For a hot day, the cami and distressed denim skirt were a great outfit for an afternoon at the beach with the kids. The floral duster was necessary for a bit of physical sunblock too, as the cami just has spaghetti straps.

This very pale denim skirt might look new - but it's still the same one I took from my sisters wardrobe clear out a while back! I went to wear it a few weeks ago and it had some kind of stain on it I hadn't noticed left behind from the wash, as I iron everything inside out. I tried various stain removers and multiple washes and it wasn't coming out, so I decided to bleach it! Quite like the resulting very pale blue colour, and now you can't see any stains!

Even for clothing I thrift from my local opshop for $1, or things I get free from my sister's wardrobe, I'm determined to make sure I make the most of them and get some wear from them - bleaching was an easy alternative to keep this skirt in my wardrobe.


Last worn: floral duster, dusty pink cami, distressed denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: floral duster over a dress, dusty pink cami and denim shorts, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and printed dress.

Revealing the Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB Crossbody Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Woven Heart gold floral kimono
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

Essentially the same outfit as the one above, just with a few changes! This chambray cami was another thrift find the same day I scored the cami above. Paired it with a pair of white Bermuda shorts I picked up in another opshop, a beautiful floral duster my mum got me one Christmas, and these comfy Sketchers sneakers I got from her last Christmas.

I really liked how this cover up matched the blues of the chambray cami and the pink of the MAB crossbody bag, although it's not too easy to see the pink florals in the print. A comfortable outfit was needed for a very early start to pick up some relatives from the airport, and then spending a little bit of time shopping with my mum on the coast later.


Last worn: floral cover up, chambray cami, feather necklace, white Bermuda shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody (above).

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and denim skirt, chambray cami and black denim, white Bermuda shorts and red tee, Sketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and navy dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Thin strap camis are great on a hot day, but for a little extra sun protection and shoulder coverage, you can add a floral print duster on top.

Two Ways to Wear: The Haus of Queenie Sequin Kimono

A very fun and sparkly post sharing the most beautiful present I got for Christmas, my very own sequin kimono from The Haus of Queenie!

My sister is friends with Queenie and so was able to request this kimono be made for me for Christmas! I'm so lucky! While Queenie designs and makes these beautiful kimonos, they provide styling advice too. You can even hire outfits for special events. My sister has hired a gorgeous sequin duster from Queenie for an event in the past. The styling in these outfits is all mine so I hope I do Queenie's artwork justice! Both of these outfits made me smile, and those around me smile too, so I feel they were successes!

What I wore:

Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono (Christmas gift)
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

A beautiful kimono like this is made for dancing really, not for errands, a trip to the library, and new year's eve sparklers in the back yard. But NYE was the perfect excuse for me to wear this for the first time, and I got so many compliments on it when running errands. It's beautiful!

Kept it really simple with a black and white outfit to let the kimono shine. It's such a good topper over a white tee and distressed denim skirt. Added a little more colour with the Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, although a black bag would have been perfect with this too.


Last worn: white tee, Tiffany heart necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, studded sandals, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. First time I've worn the kimono as it was a Christmas present from my sister.

Other ways to wear: white tee and midi skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and floral duster, studded sandals and maxi dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and matching scarf.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

My Kimono Jacket Collection:

What I wore:

Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono (Christmas gift)
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: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Wearing this sequin kimono again, with a monochrome black outfit.

This day was another that didn't really call for a sequin kimono, but I wanted to wear it anyway, it just makes me feel so happy! We had a pool party in the morning then a school holiday event at the library in the afternoon. The light sundress was perfect as a bikini cover up. The kimono felt a little extra, but I loved the way it sparkled in the sun and it really stood out against the monochrome black outfit with the little black dress and black Rebecca Minkoff tote bag. 

Something this pretty and sparkly deserves to be worn a lot!


Last worn: The Haus of Queenie Sequin kimono (above), marble necklace, black tiered sundress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff black tote bag.

Other ways to wear: black tiered sundress with yellow accessories, Rebecca Minkoff black tote bag and pink midi dress.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Some days just call for a little extra sparkle! Keeping your outfit to classic neutrals of black and white lets a sequin kimono - or any other colourful cover up - really shine!

Thrifted Camis, Cover Ups and Black Denim with Mini 5-Zip Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Just before Christmas, my local opshop had a "fill a bag for $10" sale that I made the most of! For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing a couple of outfits where I wore a few of the pieces for the first time. The camis and cover ups in each of these outfits are thrifted.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Top: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Shorts: Jeanswest Sara distressed hot short
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

This looked like a nice basic cami when I was in the opshop, so I added it to my bag. It proved a little tricky to style when I got it home though - I don't have a lot of this dusty rose pink in my wardrobe, so I went with simple black and white clothing pieces to wear with it. The black denim shorts and necklace were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the black embroidery on the coverup.

Then just to try something different I wore my little green mini 5-zip bag. We went to the playground in the morning, to tire the kids out a little before we had some electricians over working on the house in the afternoon. My friend stopped by in the evening too so we could exchange Christmas presents - it was nice to catch up in person again! Even if it was too warm to chat for long.

For a super hot day this was a really good outfit. Even though we were out of the sun during the heat of the day as we had to be home for the electricians, I couldn't turn the AC on because of the work they were doing.


Last worn: black multi strand necklace, black denim shorts, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag. First time I've worn the embroidered cover up and the cami as they are recent thrift finds.

Other ways to wear: black denim shorts and stripes, studded sandals and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

What's Inside My Bag : Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This was another busy day! I was looking forward to wearing this chambray cami - a last minute addition to my $10 opshop sale bag. I saw it hanging on the end of a rack as I was trying to go through everything I had picked up to fit into the bag and threw it in when I realised it had space. I'll need to wear it without the cover up next time, as it has really cute tie straps! The cover up was needed for a little sun protection though.

We had a playdate with friends in the morning, and then a trip to the library in the afternoon before making a start on baking some treats for the upcoming Christmas eve celebrations (as I wore this back in December!).

With the pink in the marble necklace, magenta on the cover up and vivid pink of the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag don't all match, I thought they were close enough together to make my matchy-matchy self happy. I'll definitely have to wear these accessories together again!

Last worn: digital print cover up, marble necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff iris pink mini 5-zip bag. First time I've won the chambray cami as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: digital print cover up over a dress, Nobody Denim skirt and leopard print, Rebecca Minkoff iris pink mini 5-zip bag and magenta jeans.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A simple cami is an easy choice on a hot summer day with denim. A light printed or embroidered cover up can add a little sun protection without overheating you too.

Red Tees and Red Bag Outfits With Denim Skirts And Sneakers

Trying something a little different with these denim shorts and tees outfits! Wearing red Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bags with red tees. It was fun to wear these different shades of red together.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This clay colour tee is one that's not quite a true brown, not quite a true red, so I struggle a little thinking of what to wear it with. I thought I'd try it with a red bag, and needing a cover up as we would be inside in the aircon most of the day, picked this printed one with the red bits in the print that perfectly coordinated with the bag.

I think that the print helped tie together the two different shades of red really nicely, and of course this black distressed denim skirt goes with everything. As do the Converse!

It was a quiet day, we had a few errands to run in the morning as well as getting the kids a much needed hair cut.


Last worn: printed cape, clay tee, terrazzo necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: printed cape over dress, clay tee and printed shorts, Nobody Denim skirt and leopard print, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

More Red Bag Outfits - YouTube Shorts

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt 
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Had a bit of driving to do on this day, so comfortable sneakers were a necessity. Had an early morning start to drive the kids down the coast to the Animal Welfare League shelter where we adopted Cooper. They had a school holiday program where you could spend a day at the shelter learning all about it, and getting to play with all the different animals and teach the dogs some tricks. As it was over an hour's drive from home I stayed down the coast for the time the kids were at the shelter, at my parent's house which was a lot closer.

Since most of the day was lounging around at my parent's and driving, I needed to be comfortable. Denim and a tee were an easy choice, and I liked how similar the shades of red were on this coral tee and micro Avery bag. The navy tie dye cape was a good cover up and it added a little extra colour too so it didn't feel like too much red.


Last worn: navy tie dye cape, coral tee, pearl and heart charm necklace, Target denim skirt, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tie dye cape with yellow, coral tee and maxi skirt, Target denim skirt with striped tee, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

---

How You Can Wear It:

If you have a colourful bag in your wardrobe it can be fun matching it to a similar tee. If the shades are different, like in the first outfit, or closer together, like in the second outfit, a printed cover up is a nice way to add a colourful printed buffer.
