Navy Printed Dresses For The Office with Leather Jacket and Boots | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's weekday wear link up, I'm layering up two blue printed dresses for winter office days. I added leather jackets, fleece lined tights and boots to make these more suitable for the cold early morning commute.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
Dress: Shein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o) 
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

I love this cobalt leather jacket so much - can't believe this is the first time I've gotten it out this winter! I really like the brighter cobalt blue against the navy floral swing dress. The dress is quite light as it's just viscose, so I did debate adding a scarf with this, btu decided this pretty coral necklace was so similar to the colours in the print that it would be wrong to cover it up with a scarf. the jacket is roomy so I could zip it up for the cold morning thankfully.

The tall leather boots added a bit of extra warmth too, and with the cobalt jacket, dark navy Cupid bag and the tan boots, there was a lot of different colours of leather in this outfit, but I think they all work so nicely together.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, coral beaded necklace, navy floral swing dress, tan leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, navy floral swing dress and blazer, tan leather boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and pink jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Not quite as colourful as the outfit above, but this outfit featured exactly the same outfit formula, with a navy printed dress, fleece tights, boots, and this time around a black leather jacket. I love both of these leather jackets a lot, but I'm still amazed I scored this one at Gladrags Markets for just $30, considering the cobalt one was one I bought full price and it cost 10 times as much as that! I really enjoy finding preloved bargains!

While I do prefer this dress with bare legs in the warmer weather, I think with all of the black (and the very dark navy of the Rebecca Minkoff cupid bag) this dress layered up nicely.


Last worn: black leather jacket, Tiffany necklace, navy tile print dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and stripes, navy tile print dress with pink, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy print dress in second trimester, ankle boots in second trimester.

Kmart Floral Dresses, Boots, Leather Jacket and Studded MAB For The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

Early morning commutes in winter mean needing a cosy jacket to stay warm! I have been enjoying wearing this Witchery one I bought at Gladrags markets recently, it's so soft and thick, pairing it with these long sleeved floral dresses from Kmart and some tights and boots kept me warm!

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace layered with engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: embossed tan leather belt from my Mum's wardrobe
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

With the black leather jacket, the black background of this midi dress, the black fleece-lined tights and the black ankle boots, the little wisteria print wasn't really adding a lot of colour. So I wore this Rebecca Minkoff desert rose studded MAB crossbody bag again. I don't need to carry much to the office, and I have a work-issued bag for my laptop and things so I can put my water bottle in there and just have this crossbody bag for the essentials.

The desert rose shade of pink doesn't match the pinks in the wisteria print of the midi dress, but I still liked the combination together, and I'll definitely wear this bag and dress together again!


Last worn: black leather jacket, silver circle necklace, diamond necklace, tan leather belt, floral print midi dress, leather ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and stripes, tan leather belt and shorts, floral print midi dress and floral bag, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and skirt.

Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB Crossbody Reveal:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

Unlike the first outfit, I wasn't sure about this teal floral print dress with the little pink studded MAB crossbody bag. I'm pleased I gave this combination a try, but I didn't enjoy this as much as I did the colours in the first outfit.

This teal floral print dress was a bargain Kmart find and always gets me compliments - with the long sleeves it's perfectly suited for winter, especially with tights and these tall tan leather ankle boots, and the leather jacket. This dress is such a good dress for the office, while I have worn it casually too. I really should get it out more often!


Last worn: leather jacket (above), silver necklace (above), teal floral print midi dress, tan leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear:  leather jacket and maxi dress, teal floral print midi dress worn two ways, tall leather boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

2 Ways to Wear: Orange Sherbet Zoe Tiered Maxi Dress in Geranium Print Pink

I picked up this beautiful Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered maxi dress at Gladrags Markets recently. It's been on frequent repeat since! The trio of friends running a stall let me try on a few of the pretty dresses that they had for sale, and it was so hard picking just one, but I'm so pleased with this. I do love a floral print dress, and the pinks and red in this dress work so well together! As it is winter I have had to do a little layering with this short sleeved dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

I love pink and blue together, so a classic indigo wash denim jacket and cobalt Rebecca Minkoff jumbo love bag seemed like the perfect accessories to try out with this dress. I love the bright cobalt blue of the bag against the red and pink geranium print on the dress. And a classic denim jacket like this goes with everything! You can see 30 ways I've worn this denim jacket here.

The Mimco bracelet stack was also a bargain find from Gladrags Markets, and I liked having a bracelet stack on each arm. Picked my comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers to wear as we had a kids birthday party at an indoor play area to enjoy that morning.


Last worn: denim jacket, Tiffany necklace, Mimco bracelet stack, Orange Sherbet maxi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag. 

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Orange Sherbet maxi dress with white jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag and jeans. 

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

This is actually the first time I wore this dress. It was a really cold morning, with the school run and then working from home, so the perfect opportunity to wear some of the new pieces I'd picked up at Gladrags Markets that weekend. I got this coral necklace for just $2! I like the colour with the floral print on the maxi dress, even if it isn't a perfect match to the red or pink. The leather jacket was a super cosy and super cheap buy from the markets too - beautifully preloved, it's so comfortable, and I was very grateful for it and the ankle boots on this chilly day. I had a slip on under the dress as well!


Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, coral necklace, Orange Sherbet maxi dress (above), black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and knit, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and band tee.

White Denim Jacket With Printed Dresses, Ankle Boots And Statement Necklaces

A sunny winter weekend gave me the chance to wear some pretty floral dresses. Both dresses only needed ankle boots and my white denim jacket to make them cosy enough for spending most of our time indoors.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Red multi strand beaded statement necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral

Why I wore it:

I love the way this Jaase floral and leaf print dress looks with ankle boots. It's such a pretty dress! I've worn it with denim jackets before, but this is the first time I've paired it with the white one, Given how it matches the white in the print so well, I'm surprised I haven't worn the dress and jacket together sooner!

We had a kids birthday party to attend, so I just needed my essentials which meant this little peach Rebecca Minkoff small love bag was the perfect accessory. Just like the red statement necklace, it doesn't exactly match the colours in the print of the dress, but I think the accessories complimented the print nicely. This was such a comfortable outfit for a loud and busy (but fun!) party.


Last worn: white denim jacket, red statement necklace, Jaase dress, tan leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and maxi dress, Jaase dress and leather jacket, ankle boots and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag and matching tee.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink (recent purchase)
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede

Why I wore it:

Copied the outfit formula above for a busy morning, and then getting to spend some time relaxing and chatting at book club in the afternoon. While it was a warm day, I knew the denim jacket and boots would be much appreciated in the evening. It did start getting a little chilly later in the evening as we were sitting outside for book club, but that was a good sign we should probably wrap up and head home!

Just like the last time I wore this statement gold beaded necklace, I wanted to pair it with the equally chunky chain on this Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie bag. I like the combination even though the metals are not a match.

It was my first time wearing this pretty floral print maxi dress I scored from the Gladrags markets, so it made sense to wear it with some of the accessories I picked up at that market too, with the gold necklace and the Mimco bracelet stack. It's a lot of big accessories, but it was fun wearing them all together.


Last worn: white denim jacket (above), gold bib necklace, tan leather boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie crossbody bag. First time I've worn the dress and bracelet stack as they were recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and jeans, tan leather boots and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie crossbody bag and stripes.

Floral Print Dresses With Boots and Cream Chloe Paddington Bags

Two floral dress outfits for autumn with ankle boots and little cream Chloe Paddington bags. One outfit for daytime, the other for a rare date night evening out.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus silver vintage charm bracelet
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Given that this dress is called the autumn leaves print I figured I should give it a wear in autumn! With the ankle boots it was perfect for lunch with my family down the coast. I thought that the cream beaded statement earrings were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the little Chloe Paddington bag too. The cream is a very different shade from the whites and peaches in the dress print, but I still really like this bag and dress together.

As we were just heading down the coast for lunch and I didn't need to carry much, this little bag was perfect.


Last worn: Jaase tiered dress, cream statement earrings, tan ankle boots, Chloe small Paddington bag.

Other ways to wear: Jaase tiered dress and leather jacket, tan ankle boots and midi dress, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.

My Chloe Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: embossed tan leather belt from my Mum's wardrobe
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Paddington clutch in mastic

Why I wore it:

Date night outfit! I layered up with the tall leather boots and the leather jacket over this fun floral print dress. It is on its seventh wear, which is giving me great cost per wear as it was a $2 Kmart clearance find last year! I wanted to dress up a bit with a dress, but also wanted to be warm, so this was the perfect outfit.

We had a bit of an early date night for our wedding anniversary, enjoying dinner and a little stroll along the river (the leather jacket was definitely a good choice!) before enjoying a show at the Brisbane Comedy Festival. It was a lot of fun to go out kid free for a night. I dug out my old Chloe Paddington clutch bag - I wore this on my wedding day, and it has so much sentimental value, even if it's been a while since I last wore it.

It's definitely a date night only clutch - barely fits my phone, some cards and lipstick in it, as it's from pre-smart phone days, haha!


Last worn: spiral earrings, Jeanswest leather jacket, Kmart Wisteria print midi dress, belt, tall leather boots, Chloe Paddington clutch.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and jeans, Kmart Wisteria print midi dress and floral bag, belt and shorts, tall leather boots worn 30 ways, Chloe Paddington clutch and little red dress.

Tiered Sundresses and Colourful Cover Ups With Louis Vuitton Neverfull Tote | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing two outfits I wore in the Easter school holidays, adding some cute cover ups over these Kmart tiered printed sundresses.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono
Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings

Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Another fun school holiday day, we had a couple of errands to run but also a nature based art class that the kids really enjoyed. The Neverfull tote was perfect for carrying snacks and water bottles.

I really like the subtle Aztec print on this Kmart black tiered sundress, and I thought it would pair nicely with the digital print on this cover up. I really liked the combination together, and I appreciated the cover up when we were in the aircon and the sun protection it gave outside.

The orange in the print, the yellow tassel on the necklace and the mustard tassels on my earrings are very different shades, but I liked the three all together and really loved this outfit.

Last worn: digital print cover up, mustard tassel earrings, yellow tassel necklace, black sundress, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

Other ways to wear: digital print cover up and denim shorts, black sundress and denim jacket, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag in third trimester.

30 Ways to Wear: Louis Vuitton Neverfull

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly kimono in dusty pink
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

I loved the combination above so much that I repeated it again, another Kmart tiered sundress with another colourful cover up. While the blush print on the dress is a shade or two lighter than the pink of the cover up, the two looked so good together! I added another pastel shade with the blue and gold necklace too, which I thought went nicely with the Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull.

We had a really fun day with my mum down the coast, enjoying the beach in the morning and then the park in the afternoon. It was a little windy, but still pretty warm, so this cover up was the perfect light layer over the sundress for sun protection without overheating.


Last worn: blush cover up, pastel blue necklace, tiered printed sundress, Havaianas (above), Louis Vuitton Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: blush cover up and denim, tiered printed sundress in winter, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

30 Ways To Wear: Atmos&Here Green Tropical Floral Print Tee Dress

I'm thrilled I reached 30 wears with this cute tropical floral print shift dress. Tee dresses are such a staple for me in my wardrobe, and this one always gets compliments. It's such a lovely print!

30 Ways To Wear: Tropical Floral Print Tee Dress

This is a fun dress, and with all the different colours, from the green background to the colourful tropical floral print, it's really easy to find pieces to wear it with in my wardrobe. It has the added benefit of being a nice light tee dress, perfect for spring, autumn and summer in Brisbane, it's one of those pieces I find myself reaching for fairly often. I have layered it up a little for cooler weather too, but the warmer weather is definitely when this gets worn the most.

I like the grey contrast sleeves - it has a grey panel on the back too, which makes it really easy to wear as you just focus on pairing things with the fun bright print and the rest is a muted neutral.

Cost Per Wear

While I have reached 30 wears on this dress, it's not quite at a dollar per wear goal so many people aim for. I bought it online from The Iconic back in September 2014, and with a discount code and it being on sale I snapped it up for $39.98. They had the same print in a shirt and I deliberated between the dress and tee, rationalising the dress was the better buy as I could wear it as a top too, which I have done a few times. So versatile, and it's currently at $1.33 a wear, with a lot of life left in it and a permanent place in my wardrobe. It may have gotten very little wear in the breastfeeding years, but I've certainly made up for that now with how often I reach for it.

Here are the 30 different ways I've worn this dress so far:

Floral Dress with Matching Colourful Handbags

Such an easy way to wear a colourful handbag with a bright dress - just pick a bag that is a similar colour to one of the colours in the print! Even if (like the burgundy crossbody bag in the middle) it's not an exact shade match.

Floral Print Dress With Blue Bags

Blue is my favourite colour and I have a lot of blue handbags! When I'm not sure what colour to wear with something, any shade of blue is an easy go-to.

Green Floral Print Dress With Pink Accessories

Pink and green is not a colour combination I wear a lot, but it's fun to try now and then. From a very subtle look with the blush pink sandals, or something a little bolder with the pink crossbody bag, pink accessories look great with this green printed dress.

Green Shift Dress Worn With Yellow

This is another example of matching something colourful to the colour in the print of the dress - the mustard cardigan and scarf, and little yellow crossbody bag look so good with the yellow in the floral print.

Floral Shift Dress Layered To Wear As A Top

I am so glad I bought the dress rather than the tee, as this dress can be worn as a tee so easily! I really like tucking it into skirts as it's a bit bulky trying to tuck it into shorts. It makes this shift dress office suitable if you tuck it into a pencil skirt, especially if you throw a blazer on top.

Layering A Printed Shift Dress

It's not just skirts you can layer this dress with - in the cooler weather I like cardigans, blazers, and of course the ever classic leather jacket to add some warmth to the short sleeved shift dress.

Wearing a Floral Shift Dress With Sneakers

Dresses and sneakers are a fashion staple and something I wear a lot of with my knee injury. I feel I default to sneakers a lot - and luckily this dress looks great with every style I have tried!

Floral Dress and Ankle Boots

Spring means the dresses, bare legs and ankle boots outfit combination is often on repeat! While I don't have a large collection of ankle boots, the different colours of the ones I do have all work well as neutrals with this colourful dress.

Kmart Floral Dresses and Blue Crossbody Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing some pretty Kmart floral dresses I wore for the school run, working from home, and a little time with friends.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress (worn 30+ times)
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Hadn't worn this floral print tiered maxi dress for a while - it was definitely overdue another wear! A Kmart impulse buy a few years back after seeing it on a few local Instagrammers, I still have and love this dress. It's passed 30 wears and still going strong!

I liked the cute little blue crossbody bag and the yellow tassel necklace with this dress, even though neither of the colours match those in the print exactly, I liked how this all looked together.

Spent some time in the morning after the school drop off with my friend and her adorable daughter, before getting in a few hours of work and then picking the kids up from school in the afternoon. It was another hot autumn day so this light tiered dress was perfect in the heat.


Last worn: blue earrings, yellow tassel necklace, floral tiered maxi dress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC.

Other ways to wear:  floral tiered maxi dress worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC and shorts.

My Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string (new purchase)
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Unlike the Kmart floral dress in the first outfit that I paid full price for, this one I scored on clearance and it was just $2. Much like the dress above, I'm definitely getting my money's worth from it! Picked this to wear as after the school run, working from home, and then a quick errand in the afternoon after school pick up, we went to a movie night in the park with friends. It was a warm day but I knew the long sleeves and longer length of this dress would come in helpful in the evening so that I wasn't bitten by mozzies!

This was such a good outfit - I wasn't too hot during the day and I was nicely bug bite free in the evening. The kids really enjoyed the movie and getting to eat all the snacks and sit with their friends as they watched too!

Again, the blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag doesn't match with the blue floral print on the dress, neither does the pastel blue of the necklace. I still thought all the different shades of blue looked good together though, and I didn't need to carry much with me, I had a big tote bag for our picnic rug and movie snacks!


Last worn: heart earrings, wisteria print midi dress, rose gold sandals, blue mini MAC (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: wisteria print midi dress and floral bag, rose gold sandals and shorts, blue mini MAC and printed jeans.
