Yellow Bag with Pink and Floral Print Outfits

Two outfits featuring pink and floral print with my mustard yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.


What I wore:






NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

This was a really hot spring day that felt like summer, so this pastel floral print babydoll dress was the perfect outfit to wear. I added the simple braided sandals as it was much too hot for closed in shoes!

Had to take my son to a birthday party, and had a couple of errands to run and groceries to buy. I liked the simplicity of this dress for such a hot day.

With the yellow in the print of the dress, this mustard Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag was a nice matchy-matchy accessory.



Last worn: Tiffany heart necklace, floral babydoll dress, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

What I wore:







Jacket: Jeanswest Polly printed kimono in white base ditsy floral 
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

This was a cooler spring day, but still with floral print and some pink, with these pink frayed hem jeans. I thought the yellow bag would be a fun accessory with this, although it doesn't quite match the outfit like it did when I wore it with the dress. There is yellow in the floral print of my cover up, and I added more yellow with the yellow necklace, although they are different shades I thought the colours in this all worked nicely together.

I wore this simple navy tee that's been getting a lot of wear lately as I wanted a nice neutral piece to wear with all the pink and yellow. I really liked this outfit and I'm glad I was inspired to give the yellow and pink colour combination another try thanks to the dress above.

Blue Printed Dresses and Pink Crossbody Bags

Enjoying warmer spring weekends in two different blue printed dresses, both accessorised with little pink crossbody bags.


What I wore:






Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Iris Maxi The Label flora print blue and white mini dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus silver and turquoise bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Wore this for lunch at my parent's place down the coast. My sister got me this dress for Christmas and it's so beautiful! First time I've worn it with this Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag, but I liked the muted pink with the pale blue print of the dress. Sadly did manage to spill food on this dress, but thankfully it washed off! And given that this is the fourth time I've worn this dress I'm surprised it hasn't been spilled on more often already, ha!

Added silver statement earrings with this rather than a necklace, although unfortunately they are a little hard to see in the photos. And just a pair of simple sandals for the heat. These ones I picked up at the opshop in winter, knowing they'd be great in the warmer weather.


Last worn: silver earrings, blue printed mini dress, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearblue printed mini dress and gold clutch, braided sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB crossbody bag and skirt.








What I wore:







Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: thrifted Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual and pearl bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 


Why I wore it:

Another very warm weekend day had me pulling out another blue printed dress. This one was a $2 clearance sale find a couple of years ago and I love wearing it every spring and summer! It was too hot to consider wearing anything other than this light sundress and simple sandals. We had an appointment in the afternoon, but the rest of the day was spent just enjoying the warm weather.

I really liked the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag with this outfit, even though it's a different shade from the blush pink in the print of the dress and the blush pink beads on my necklace.

Navy Dresses, Colourful Blazers and Pink Jean MAC Crossbody Bag

Adding a little more colour to neutral navy dresses for the office with these colourful blazers, and pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

There is a lot of blue in this outfit with the navy tiered dress, cobalt blue blazer and the blue Converse Chucks, but I loved the different shades together. I wanted to introduce a little more colour with accessories so I went with this multi coloured tassel necklace. It's really fun against the plain navy backdrop of the dress.

Because I always carry a separate work-issued laptop bag to the office, I just need a little bag for my own essentials and this Jean MAC crossbody bag hadn't been worn in a while so was overdue a wear. I really like pink bags with navy dresses like this. And the bag is the perfect size for my wallet, keys and phone.


Last worn: blue blazer, tassel necklace, navy tiered dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearblue blazer and skirt, navy tiered dress and tote bag, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag and shorts.

EarringsMimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
DressAtmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

Another navy dress outfit for work - I've finally hit 30 wears with this navy and black striped shift dress, which is a staple in the cooler weather with the thicker fabric and long sleeves. It was great for this cooler spring day with just the light blush blazer as a topper. And even though the blush blazer is a different shade of pink from the deeper pink on the Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag, I like the two together. It's not the first time I've worn this combination of pinks, I always enjoy it.

I went with black Converse this time, and the black and silver necklace, as they matched the black stripes in the dress nicely.


Last worn: Mimco studded earrings, blush blazer, black statement necklace, navy striped dress, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag (above).

Kmart Fuchsia Pink Dresses, Converse And Rebecca Minkoff Love Too Bag

Enjoying spring office dressing, wearing these two Kmart fuchsia pink dresses that are perfect for my very casual business casual office. I accessorised both these pink dresses with my little Rebecca Minkoff deep teal croc embossed Love Too bag.


What I wore:


Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dressthrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

This linen dress is such a firm favourite, and such a lucky opshop find. Every time I wear it it makes me happy! I love the colour and on this particularly warm spring day the linen was perfect for the heat on the commute and kept me cool rushing to school drop off and pick up too. I liked the bright tassel necklace against the fuchsia backdrop of this dress, and added more colour with the deep teal Love Too bag. Wearing Converse again, they are so practical for the commute and supportive for my weakened knee.


Last worn: pink linen dress, tassel necklace, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearpink linen dress in winter, white Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.






What I wore:






Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
Earrings: thrifted Colette gold metal flower stud statement earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

After a run of very summer like temps, it actually cooled off a little to be more spring-like so I took the opportunity to wear a scarf with this dress. This navy grid print scarf is an opshop find and although it's a very different shade of blue from the Love Too bag I liked both accessories together against the pink dress.

The only downside to this outfit was that I wished I'd layered a little more. I'd planned this outfit the night before and on waking up to a cooler morning though the scarf would be enough of an addition to keep me warm. It was much colder than I expected after all those warm days and I wished I'd added a jacket to this. Thankfully was nice and warm in the office, and wasn't too cold on the commute home.


Last worn: pink midi dress, gold statement earrings, grid print scarf, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Navy Striped Shift Dresses With Little Red Bag

Two similar striped shift dresses I wore to the office recently, with a little extra colour from my red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag.


What I wore:






Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
DressAtmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag


Why I wore it:

It was a foggy start to the morning as you can see in the background, but after I got into the office the fog was lifting and it turned into a really warm day. I was able to take the scarf off in the afternoon as I didn't need it for school pick up.

With the red heart print scarf I wanted to be a little matchy-matchy, and this little red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag was a great match. With the gold hardware on the bag I added the gold glitter earrings for more matching too. I really liked this outfit, this navy and black striped dress is a great neutral that always works with any accessories.


Last worn: resin glitter earrings, heart print scarf, navy striped shift dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag.

What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag


Why I wore it:

Another day in the office, another striped shift dress! This one was a $1 opshop find and I'm certainly getting great value from that spend! It's surprisingly the first time I've worn this dress and the little red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag together before, it seems like such an obvious combo as red looks so good with navy and white.

Added my white leather Converse (also an opshop find!) as they are a great matchy-matchy choice, and added the blue toned necklace. I really like statement necklaces with this dress, it's such a good backdrop to wear them against with the navy and white stripes. I also felt it made the dress a little less casual, as we had an event on in the office so there were a lot of people in.

Thrifted Printed Dresses And Purple Paraty Bag

Two more summer-ish outfits, with these thrifted printed dresses. I wore these at the end of winter, when Brisbane forgot about spring and swapped to hot and humid summer temps. It was nice to get these dresses out without all the layers!


What I wore:





Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: thrifted Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals (recent purchase)
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Wore this for working from home with the school run, and watching my son get some awards at school. It was such a got day so this light floral dress was ideal for the humidity. It was a good chance to wear these sandals for the first time too. I thrifted them back in July, when it was firmly winter in Brisbane, and I've been waiting for a chance to the weather to warm up to wear them. They are very cute and comfortable.

With the light floral dress, wooden beaded necklace and bracelets, the purple Paraty seemed a bit dark with all the lighter colours and neutrals, but I'm so glad I picked this bag. It works well with the colours in the floral print of the dress and it fit all the essentials plus my camera for taking photos at the award ceremony.

Also, with the Chloe Paraty bag being a preloved buy, everything I'm wearing in this outfit except the bracelets is a second hand purchase!


Last worn: floral dress, neutral beaded necklace, wooden bracelets, Chloe purple Paraty bag. First time I've worn the sandals as they were a winter opshop find.

Other ways to wear: floral dress and blazer, Chloe purple Paraty bag and jeans.





What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Dressthrifted no label blue checked smock sundress
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Like the sandals above, this dress was also a winter opshop find. I did try layer it up for the colder weather but it didn't really work. I much more enjoyed this way of wearing it. It was a super hot day and we headed out to a local festival. Lots of walking and time in the sunshine, so this light and floaty smock dress was perfect. I added the Sketchers sneakers for comfort for my knee injury when walking, and I have to confess I liked the matchy-matchy with the blues in the grid print of the dress and the blue beaded necklace.

Again I wore my Chloe purple Paraty bag. I like it with blues and just like in the first outfit, it fits all the essentials and then a little extra so I had space for water bottles as well.


Last worn: blue beaded necklace, checked smock dress, navy Sketchers, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wearchecked smock dress and winter layers, navy Sketchers and shorts, Chloe purple Paraty bag and skirt.

Orange Tiered Dresses, Denim Jackets and Chloe Periwinkle Paraty Bag

A surprising burst of summer-like weather at the end of winter in Brisbane had me reaching for dresses and lighter jackets. Both these orange tiered dresses were perfect for the surprisingly hot winter days I wore them on.


What I wore:







Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
DressJeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This was the first day of summer-like heat in winter, so I knew a linen dress would be a good choice but thought I might be a little cold without the denim jacket. It ended up warming up so much that I had the denim jacket off for most of the day! The linen dress was a good choice.

I liked the bright orange background of the dress as the blue toned beaded necklace looked really good with it, it's one of the necklaces I thrifted recently. And with the pale blue denim moto jacket the Chloe Paraty seemed like a nice choice. Even though the shades of blue are different they are close enough together that I really like the pairing. And this Chloe Paraty bag is just the right size for the essentials plus my latest library book that I took along to sit on the side lines of my son's sport sessions. Thankfully that was in the morning, before the day heated up too much.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, orange linen dress, leather Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag. First time I've worn this necklace as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to weardenim moto jacket and printed skirt, orange linen dress and tote bag, leather Converse and striped dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and shorts.





What I wore:






Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

I've been wearing a lot of orange and blue again lately, and as I liked it in the first outfit I wore the combination again a few days later! This tiered midi dress is a firm favourite, especially with blue! The periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty and the darker wash denim jacket both look really good with this shade of orange.

I added this recently thrifted necklace too, I like the little mint beads against the orange dress more than I thought I would. Nice and simple outfit, where I again ended up discarding the denim jacket later in the day as it was so warm! I was working from home and then taking Coops to a vet appointment over lunchtime.


Last worn: denim jacket, thrifted necklace, amber tiered midi dress, white Converse (above), Chloe Periwinkle Paraty bag (above).

Tiered Midi Dresses, Blue Scarves and Superstar Sneakers

Adding a touch of navy to these colourful Kmart tiered midi dresses with printed scarves for winter office days.


What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and white geo print tassel scarf
Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

While the faded electric blue 5 zip bag, dark navy suede moto jacket and tile print scarf are all different shades I though they looked nice with the orange tiered midi dress. I wear this dress with blue a lot, I always like blue and orange together. I did have a little matchy-matchy with the navy tassel earrings matching the tassels on the scarf, and that made me happy.

I find I'm reaching for this dress and similar ones quite a lot recently, as we get closer and closer to spring in Brisbane it isn't too cold to be going out with bare ankles, even on the early morning commute to the office as I had on this day.


Last worn: suede moto jacket, navy tassel earrings, geo print scarf, amber tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip bag.

What I wore:

Scarf: navy bird print scarf
Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

I wish it had been a drier day so it wasn't so dark and cloudy when I took outfit photos in the morning, as I loved the colours in this outfit but it was hard to capture before rushing off into the city. It's not the first time I've worn this little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag with a pink dress, the colour looks so good with a bright fuchsia. And while it is the first time I've worn the cobalt leather jacket with the fuchsia pink dress I do love wearing this dress with shades of blue.

I couldn't resist adding a few more shades of blue like I did in the outfit above, with the turquoise earrings and the navy bird print scarf. This was so cheerful and colourful, I loved this outfit. Perfect for a day in the office with some colleagues from outside Brisbane.

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:






JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
ScarfSupre neon pink leopard print scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bagthrifted 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 dressSketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and printed jeansleopard print scarf and knit, denim dress without jacketSketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and band tee.






What I wore:




JacketWittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
ScarfASOS crinkle oversized leopard print scarf
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bagthrifted 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.
