Pink and Navy Outfits With Small Chloe Paraty Bag

This has been the spring of pink and blue! Sharing another two more pink and blue outfits with my beautiful small Chloe Paraty bag in periwinkle being the perfect accessory for both outfits, despite the different shades in my clothes.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: Jeanswest 'Scarlette' printed shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day in the school holidays! We had a bunch of errands to run in the morning, and with the sudden warmth spring bought, Cooper had been very badly due for a trim. We dropped him at the groomers before crossing a few more things off the to-do list and buying some presents for upcoming birthday parties. Then we had to head home while I worked from home and the kids entertained themselves for a few hours - luckily they were quiet for most of my meetings that day.

This pink tee has been on frequent repeat lately. I haven't hit 30 wears with it yet but it might be my most worn tee this year, particularly in recent months. I've worn it with printed culotte shorts recently, but it's the first time I've paired it with these navy printed ones that I have hit 30 wears with. Because it was such a hot day, simple shorts, tee and Havaianas was all I needed, especially with all the running around we had to do.

Tried being a little matchy-matchy with the gold hardware on my small Chloe Paraty bag with the gold necklace and gold and black bracelet stack as well.


Last worn: pink tee, gold marble necklace, navy printed culotte shorts, Havaianas, Chloe small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and maxi skirt, navy printed culotte shorts worn 30 ways, Chloe small Paraty bag and dress.

Chloe Small Paraty Bag In Periwinkle: Review and What's In my Bag

---

What I wore:

Tee: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I often reach for these pink leopard print jeans in spring! There's something so spring-like about the bright pink leopard print, and they are incredibly fun jeans to wear. Blue has to be the colour I wear with them most often, so I thought I'd mix it up a little with this navy graphic tee that has a purple print on it so it was a little different from all the other times I've paired a navy top with these jeans! It was a quiet Sunday, we didn't have too much on, just an appointment for my son, so jeans and a tee was nice and comfortable. And the Chloe Paraty bag fits more than it looks like - had a little library book in there to read while waiting for our appointment.

Again I stuck with my Havaianas - the warm spring weather is making me want to take a break from my sneakers and Converse!

Last worn: graphic tee, pink leopard print jeans, Havaianas (above), periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: graphic tee and blazer, pink leopard print jeans and denim jacket, periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: graphic tee in third trimester, pink leopard print jeans and hidden bump.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Pink and blue is a winning combination! You can easily pair a printed piece in your outfit with a plain tee like I have in the first outfit. Or you can try something a little different and go for a muted graphic print tee with another print in your outfit like I have with the leopard print jeans.

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

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

What I wore:

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

Why I wore it:

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

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

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

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

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

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

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

Why I wore it:

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

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

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


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

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

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

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

Jeans, Jumpers, and Purple Scarves

Two very cosy outfits with some statement knits and skinny jeans on extra cold winter days recently here in Brisbane. Accessorised with pretty purple scarves for some more colour too!

What I wore:

Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Knit: thrifted vintage Haneli metallic gold knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

I loved how comfortable this outfit was! I had nothing terribly exciting planned, the school run, working from home and an appointment, so I just wanted to be cosy. This vintage metallic knit and the grey skinny jeans was a combination I wasn't too sure about, if it would be too like silver and gold together, but decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did! I think the purple leopard print scarf and the purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote really pulled the outfit together, they were a nice pop of colour and coordinate well.

Still ended up throwing a blanket over my legs while working from home though, it was a really cold day!


Last worn: metallic knit, purple leopard print scarf, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: metallic knit with red, purple leopard print scarf and maxi dress, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple leopard print scarf in third trimester, Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Scarf: thrifted checked purple pashmina scarf
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper  
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This outfit is exactly the same formula as the one above, but was even more colourful! It's not the first time I've worn this cobalt knit with the magenta jeans, I really like blue and pink together! Blue, pink and purple is an awesome combo so I decided to accessorise with this thrifted purple pashmina. I wasn't sure that the checked fabric would work with the marle on the knit, but again as with the outfit above I'm glad I tried it as I think it worked well! With the bright jeans, bright top and colourful purple scarf, I went with my neutral white Converse.

Couldn't decide on just the right bag for this outfit - I knew I needed a neutral one to balance out the colour a bit. Went with this little navy micro Bedford crossbody bag in the end - it does go with everything and I've worn it with these pink jeans and a blue leather jacket before so I knew it would be a good choice for this blue and pink outfit too!

Another quiet day - no working from home as it was the weekend, so just a couple of errands and a library trip with the boys. It was a little too chilly to stop in the playground, but perfect for snuggling up at home and reading the books we borrowed.


Last worn: purple pashmina, cobalt knit, magenta jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: purple pashmina in monochrome outfit, cobalt knit and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and floral kimono, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and chambray dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: cobalt marle knit in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A cosy knitted jumper is an easy way to stay warm on a cold winter day, especially when paired with jeans. A colourful scarf can help keep you cosier too, and add a little more colour to your outfit, like these purple scarves do.

Tiered Midi Dresses With Denim Jackets And Scarves | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two incredibly similar outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, both worn in the last weeks of the school term back in June, before the winter holidays. It had been a tough few weeks at the end of term and I wanted to be warm, comfortable, and try to use some colour to boost my mood a bit. These tiered Kmart midi dresses are perfect for that, they are so bright and cheerful and layer well with scarves and denim jackets.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and pink cheetah print scarf
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Another sneaky weekend outfit making it into the Weekday Wear Link Up! I've shared before that my son has taken an interest in bugs (particularly mantises) recently, and there was a "Bug Day Out" event up on the Sunshine Coast that I knew he would love. It was a bit of a drive and it had been a long week, but I was excited for him to spend some time there so we had a mini road trip. Wore my Converse and my knee brace fit perfectly under this tiered midi dress, for all the driving. Took quite a while to get there due to traffic, but was so worth it. We had a great time talking to all the entomologists, having lunch, a little bit of bug-related shopping, and we even had the chance to adopt a little stick insect on the day which the boys were very excited about!

I didn't need my denim jacket in the car but appreciated having it in the afternoon when it got a bit chilly - the scarf alone wasn't enough with the dress. I really like the leopard print scarf with the fuchsia pink of the dress, even though the pink in the scarf is more of a magenta shade I thought they worked well together.

We had a big reusable Woolies tote in the car with snacks and books for the long ride (over 2 hours of driving!) but this black tote bag was perfect for our water bottles and purchases when we got to the event. Such a nice day out, and I'm pleased I layered up so I could adjust the layers through the day.


Last worn: moto denim jacket, leopard print scarf, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket and striped dress, leopard print scarf and purple cardigan, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress and gold clutch, Converse and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote Review:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy diamond print scarf
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a fake it till you make it outfit! I needed a big bold burst of colour for two reasons: I wasn't feeling the best (not Covid) and my sons had their sports day at school so I had to be bright and noticeable from the side lines. Like the first outfit, I went with the tiered midi dress, printed scarf and denim jacket combo. Standing on the side lines at the sports day though I ended up taking the denim jacket off - it was such a warm and sunny day sitting there on the oval!

Again like the outfit above, the print in the scarf doesn't match the colour in the dress, but I thought the multi coloured diamond print was nice with the dark denim jacket, and the navy looks so good with the orange. Again comfortable sneakers, more for standing around, as I didn't have to do a lot of driving. Thankfully my friend brought a rug for us to sit down on as well, it was nice getting out and sitting relaxing in the sun cheering on the kids even though I wasn't feeling great.

Wore the Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag again - it fit my water bottle and my camera as well as all my essentials for the day nicely.


Last worn: denim jacket, amber tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote (above). First time I've worn the diamond scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, amber tiered midi dress worn two ways, Adidas Superstar and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and midi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Midi dresses can work in winter too, with a pair of comfy sneakers, a big cosy scarf and a denim jacket.

Printed Tees and Colourful Jeans With Navy Micro Regan Crossbody Bag

I wore these two jeans and tee outfits back on warmer autumn days a few weeks ago, when I didn't need any extra layers. Although very different they both follow the same simple formula of colourful jeans and a printed tee, and my Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I wanted to try wear these jeans with something a bit different, so went with this neon orange leopard print tee. I've worn orange with these olive jeans only a few times, but I really like the combination! I think the neutral denim is a good match with the bright statement tee.

Kept everything else neutral in this outfit too, to let the tee shine. With the navy necklace, navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag, and the white Converse. Was a nice and comfortable outfit for working from home, with the school run, a quick stop at the shops in the afternoon and sports in the evening. 

My son discovered a mantis in our garden which laid eggs before it went away so he was very excited to go to Petbarn to stock up on everything the baby mantids will need when they hatch. And I have to give credit to the wonderful employee who was very understanding and who gave me multiple options and price points for everything, so I wasn't spending hundreds on housing a little mantis egg pouch 😂 We have since added two mantids to our "collection" but the babies haven't hatched just yet!


Last worn: neon leopard print tee, navy beaded tassel necklace, olive skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: neon leopard print tee and denim skirt, olive skinny jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag with green.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford Bag Review:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This was another working from home day with the school run, although when I went to pick the kids up in the afternoon I did wish I'd added an extra layer with this, it wasn't as warm a day as the one above! I liked the simplicity of this outfit, with the matchy-matchy of the navy striped tee and navy Micro Bedford bag together. I like wearing blue and red together, and these pants work well with both the navy and the brighter blue of the Converse sneakers.

I thought the silver circle necklace was a nice matchy-matchy choice with the circle zipper pull on the Micro Bedford bag too.


Last worn: navy stripe tee, silver circle necklace, burgundy jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, burgundy jeans and floral duster, blue Converse and navy dress, Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a staple outfit formula! You can change it up a little each time you wear it with other colours of denim and not just classic blue, and try a printed tee to make it seem even more different too.

Printed Dresses and Prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC Bag

Sharing two navy dresses and ankle boots outfits I wore back in May, accessorised with this adorable prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC that I got for Mother's Day.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus pearl and rose gold bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

Wore this to spend Mother's Day down the coast with my family. It was such a fun day and thankfully the middle of the day was rain free so we got to spend a little time outdoors too. I had to wear this new Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag that the boys got me for Mother's Day - I couldn't believe it when I found this discontinued style on eBay, brand new with tags! Convinced hubby I needed it for Mother's Day 😂 The little pom pom tassel charm on it is a cute keyring that the kids got me from the Mother's Day shopping stall at school too.

Although the bag doesn't match the print in this dress I thought it complimented the oranges and reds in the autumn leaf print nicely. And the tan ankle boots were a perfect bit of matchy-matchy with the dress print!


Last worn: Jasse autumn leaves dress, gold necklace, bracelet stack, tan ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC.

Other ways to wear: Jasse autumn leaves dress and sneakers, tan ankle boots and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and double denim.

Rebecca Minkoff Reveal:

---

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl black and white cheetah print scarf
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus old beaded black bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

This was a much quieter weekend day, but again I went with a navy printed dress and the prune MAC for a pop of colour. As it was a very cold and wet day I added this leopard print scarf too. I like wearing leopard print scarves with this navy striped shift dress, it's a fun way to introduce a little print mixing. With the neutral colours in the scarf and the navy and black stripes on the dress and black ankle boots, this was a very muted outfit. Again the Rebecca Minkoff MAC was the perfect accessory to brighten up my outfit.

Had some books due back at the library and more to pick up - sadly no opportunity for the park or playground as it was such a wet day, but the kids are never bored at the library and we brought home lots of books to read through the wet weekend!


Last worn: navy striped shift dress, black beaded bracelets, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC (above). First time I've worn the leopard print scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: navy striped shift dress and denim jacket, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy striped shift dress in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A colourful crossbody bag like this Rebecca Minkoff MAC is a fun pop against a navy dress. Even if your navy dress has a more colourful print on it like in the first outfit, a bright bag can still work with your outfit - it doesn't have to match!

Leopard Print Tees and Distressed Denim Skirts With Aqua Mini MAC Crossbody Bag

Demonstrating my love of outfit formulas again by wearing two incredibly similar outfits with distressed denim skirts, sneakers and leopard print tees, a few days apart. One more colourful outfit and another more neutral one, but both with an extra pop of colour from my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in aquamarine.

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Top: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

This was an easy outfit for a hot day! I like the boxy cut of this tee, although I do think that maybe I should have tucked it into this distressed denim skirt. I really loved it last time I wore it that way with another denim skirt. I felt comfortable and colourful in this all day though, it was only looking at the pics I thought I should have tucked the tee in.

I like orange and blue together so the cobalt beaded necklace and House of Harlow wrap bracelet were easy accessory options with this, and the little aqua mini MAC really pops with the neon orange leopard print. It's not the first time I've worn this bag and tee together, I really like the pairing!

I'd planned a relaxed day for some child-free time after dropping both kids off at school. I did have a couple of errands to run, but I managed to make it to my favourite opshop for a very long and leisurely browse too. I didn't get much for myself but I did fill a bag of clothes for the kids that was just $5! Pretty good deals! The Adidas Superstar sneakers were nice and comfortable for the little bit of running around I did in the morning before school pick up in the afternoon.


Last worn: orange leopard print tee, blue beaded necklace, cobalt wrap bracelet, distressed denim skirt, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: orange leopard print tee and skinny jeans, distressed denim skirt and duster, Adidas Superstar and dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag in second trimester.

Ways To Wear a Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Kmart grey leopard print tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

Our usual Friday library visits have been pushed to the weekend now both kids are in school! After a great week at school I took the kids out to the library to pick up some new books, and then to the bike track for a little ride around. It was threatening to rain all morning but thankfully we were in the car on the way home before the rain started, perfect timing!

This necklace is one of my recent opshop finds - it's the same as the turquoise one I thrifted at a different opshop back in December, what are the chances! I thought I'd keep it simple and use it with a monochromatic outfit with this grey leopard print tee and the black Nobody Denim distressed skirt, and black New Balance sneakers. The grey tee was a bargain Kmart clearance find a couple of years ago and as this is it's 6th wear I'm definitely getting good value from the $2 I spent on it!

Of course I couldn't have a completely neutral outfit - I always want to add some colour - and much like it was in the first outfit above, the little aquamarine mini MAC bag was a great pop with this leopard print tee. It looks so good with black and grey.


Last worn: grey leopard print tee, distressed denim skirt, black and white bangle, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: grey leopard print tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and floral kimono, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It

Tess and denim are a summer staple! A printed tee, like these two leopard print ones, can add a little more interest to a simple tee and denim skirt outfit.
