Pink and Blue Outfits With Linen Shorts and Julian Nylon Backpack

With my cousin visiting Brisbane, we took advantage of the lovely weather on the weekend to visit a couple of theme parks. Kept my outfits simple, with my thrifted Kmart linen shorts. They are great for the heat.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

Because it was going to be a hot day with a lot of walking I knew I wanted to wear these turquoise linen shorts. Wasn't sure what to wear them with though then I saw this kimono hanging up in my wardrobe. With the navy background and the pink and turquoise chevron prints it was so easy to go matchy-matchy and add a pink tee to this outfit. I really liked all of this together! The navy beaded necklace and navy Sketchers matched the cover up as well, and although the cobalt nylon Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack doesn't match any of the blues in this outfit I thought it complimented them nicely. Plus the backpack was such a practical choice for toting around snacks and water bottles for us all.


Last worn: chevron print cover up, navy beaded necklace, pink tee, turquoise linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Other ways to wear: chevron print cover up with black and white, pink tee and skirt, turquoise linen shorts and graphic tee, Sketchers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and green.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Caroline Morgan navy embroidered tunic
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

Another day, another theme park! We headed to movie world and again I went with my comfortable Sketchers sneakers for all the walking, and the Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack for carrying everything we needed. I stuck with the pink and blue colour scheme too! These fuchsia pink Kmart linen shorts were also an opshop find and I really love them with the navy tunic top. I thought the embroidery was a really pretty detail and didn't feel the need to add a cover up to this with the shoulder cover from the tunic and because I expected to be in the shade most of the day waiting on ride lines.

We got a lot of rides in over the day, and I even got to go on Green Lantern that I've never tried before!


Last worn: navy embroidered tunic, Tiffany necklace, fuchsia pink linen shorts, Sketchers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack (above).

Tiered Linen Dresses And Cobalt Jumbo Love Bag

Two colourful, tiered linen dresses worn with my cobalt Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag for a pop of colour.

What I wore:

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus silver and turquoise bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

This is such a comfortable dress! I love the bright papaya colour, it makes a beautiful statement on its own. I decided to add some blue with it this time when I wore it. The navy tassel necklace and silver and turquoise bracelet stacks are both different shades from the cobalt jumbo Love bag, but I think all the shades of blue worked well with the brightness of this dress.

The cobalt Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo love bag was a practical choice too! I had the school run, working from home, and then an appointment for my son in the afternoon. The jumbo Love bag meant I could easily bring a book along to read while waiting at the appointment.


Last worn: tiered linen dress, navy tassel necklace, turquoise and silver bracelet stack, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Jumbo Love bag.

Other ways to wear: tiered linen dress and pastel bag, tan slides and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Jumbo Love bag and jeans.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

More blue accessories with a bright citrus-y tiered dress! This orange linen dress is one my mum got me for Christmas and just like the more yellowish one above, I like wearing this orange dress with blue. Again, the necklace and bag are different shades of blue and not an exact match, but I liked the two together against the orange dress.

Unlike the first outfit, I wore this on a bit of a wet day so I wore my Adidas Superstar sneakers again. I liked the closed in shoes to keep my feet dry in the rain, although thankfully it did clear up a little later in the morning. I had the school run, working from home, and an appointment for my son so had a little bit of driving to do and comfortable sneakers were much needed for that.


Last worn: orange tiered linen dress, navy lozenge necklace, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Jumbo Love bag (above).

Other ways to wear: orange tiered linen dress and tote bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Jumbo Love bag and pencil skirt.

Blue and Green Midi Skirt Outfits With Floral Bag

Proving again that the rule "blue and green should never be seen" is definitely wrong, wearing two different shades of blue and green in these midi skirt outfits for days in the office recently. Accessorised both with my little hand painted Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag, statement necklaces, and comfortable converse.

What I wore:

Necklace: Eye Candy LA 'Sasha' statement necklace

Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

I thrifted this green tee and the blue button up linen midi skirt in the same opshop trip - I knew I'd have to pair them together! I really like the pale blue lienn skirt with the green of the tee, and couldn't resist adding a littl emore green and blue with my personalised mini MAB tote bag. It was so good in this outfit, and the bag was overdue a wear for sure.

Took advantage of the crew neck of the green tee to wear an old statement necklace that is also overdue another wear! It works best with high necklines like this, and as with the bag, I thought it was a great accessory for this outfit. Such an easy outfit for the office.


Last worn: green tee, statement necklace, blue linen skirt, white Converse, hand painted Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: green tee and pencil skirt, blue linen skirt, white Converse and dress, hand painted Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

Another office day and another green and blue midi skirt outfit! I got this pretty broderie midi skirt from mum for Christmas, and while I loved wearing it in December I find it's easy to wear outside the festive season too! This navy tee was an obvious choice as navy goes with eveything! I liked these two shades of blue and green together just as much as in the outfit above, even those the green is a bit bolder and the blue a lot deeper with the navy. This tee is also an opshop find, and covered in some sparkle thread that sadly never shows up in photos!

Added a little more blue with the blue Converse and this multi strand tassel necklace that added a touch more colour against the navy backdrop of the tee. Couldn't resist wearing this mini MAB tote bag again, with the blue florals and green leaves in the illustration Sheila made it works perfectly with green and blue outfits like this!


Last worn: navy tee, statement tassel necklace, green broderie midi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tee and maxi skirt, green broderie midi skirt and festive outfit, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and stripes.

Office Outfits With Newly Opshopped Pieces

Making the most of my recently thrifted pieces I picked up at the opshop earlier this month, and wearing them into the office.

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka teal resin bangle
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

This green tee is so soft! Knew it was a must-buy when I stumbled across it in the opshop. I have a lot of Cotton On tees, although this is my first green one, and I really like them! I kept it simple for its first wear, wearing it with this grey textured pencil skirt mum got me for Christmas and my thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag. It's such a great skirt for an office day.

Couldn't decide what necklace to wear with this. The chains on the Falabella make enough of a statement, so I decided to go with a couple chunky bangles on my arm, and I added this teal resin bracelet to the cream resin bangle duo I thrifted. Even though the shade of green on the bangle is different from the green tee, I really liked these together. Wore my comfortable Converse for the commute and because I had a couple of errands to run after picking up the kids from school.

Last worn: textured pencil skirt, teal resin bangle, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag. First time I've worn the white resin bracelets and the green tee as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: textured pencil skirt with black, black Converse and shorts, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace (new purchase)
Tank: Jeanswest Florence print long line tank
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets (new purchase)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This is an outfit I had an idea would work and then I was in a rush to get to the office so threw all the pieces on without really thinking. Not sure it worked as well as I liked, but it did certainly keep me cool and comfortable for a very humid day at work with a delicious team lunch outdoors.

With this blue linen button up midi skirt I thought the brown printed tank would be a great pairing, both featuring button detail and the criss-cross print on the tank being similar to the linen pattern on the skirt. The burgundy and cream beaded necklace could have been swapped out for something smaller and I think I would have liked it more, it was just a very busy outfit with this all together. I liked the way the darker burgundy beads worked with the deep purple small Chloe Paraty bag though, that was a nice pairing.


Last worn: brown printed tank, blue Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag. First time I've worn the necklace and linen midi skirt as they are recent opshop purchases.

Other ways to wear: brown printed tank and blazer, blue Converse and dress, Chloe purple Paraty bag and jeans. 

Perfect for pregnancy: printed tank in third trimester.

Office Outfits: Textured Pencil Skirts And Black Tops

With the summer holidays ending, it's back to the office for me. Still sticking with my mix of working from home some days and working in the office on others. Kept things easy for the return to work life with black tops and textured pencil skirts. And added a little colour with my Polene numero neuf mini bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: silver twisted chain necklace
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Skirt: Cotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I love this twisted metal necklace against the v-neckline of this linen blend tank. I wasn't sure it would look so good when I added the bag, which has gold hardware, with the silver necklace making such a statement. But I think they were enough of a distance away in my outfit that they worked.

And the lilac bag works well with the pastel pink of this textured polka dot pencil skirt. I've had it for years and I'm always surprised I haven't yet hit 30 wears with it!

Added comfortable Converse for the commute and I did consider a blazer with this, but it was much too hot to want to add the additional layer.


Last worn: linen blend tank, pink polka dot pencil skirt, Converse, Polene numero neuf mini bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: linen blend tank and jeans, pink polka dot pencil skirt and peplum top, Converse and dress, Polene numero neuf mini bag and linen dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink polka dot pencil skirt in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse (Christmas present)
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt (Christmas present)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Both the top and the skirt are pieces mum picked up for me on our opshopping day before Christmas. The texture on the skirt is such a nice detail to differentiate it from my other grey pencil skirts, and it's very cosy in the cool aircon at work. I wasn't sure the shape of the outfit would work with the batwing blouse over the pencil skirt but I'm pleased I gave it a go. It was so comfortable and it got a few compliments in the office!

Added some layered Tiffany necklaces for a little detail near the neckline and again my little lilac Polene bag. With the black and grey outfit, some colour was definitely needed, and as I was working near the colleague who had let me try on her numero neuf mini before making the decision to get it, I was excited to show her what one I'd picked for Christmas!

Again went with practical sneakers - the Adidas Superstar sneakers are good for a rainy commute.


Last worn: Tiffany heart necklace, Tiffany notes necklace, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Polene numero neuf mini bag (above). First time I've worn the top and the pencil skirt as they are Christmas gifts.

Other ways to wear: Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Polene numero neuf mini bag with pink.

Bright Tiered Linen Dresses and Tote Bags

Wearing my two new linen dresses I got for Christmas with practical tote bags for some summer holidays days out with the kids recently. I really like this new mixed metal necklace I got - so much that I've worn it in both outfits!

What I wore:

Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange (Christmas present)
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

It had been a very wet and stormy summer holidays, but luckily after a few big storms earlier in the week, the weather cleared for a glorious day up north at the beach. It was still pretty hot and humid, and it was a relief when we got home to the aircon! As I had to carry snacks and water bottles for the kids I took this big Louis Vuitton damier Azur Neverfull tote bag. Perfect for the beach! The orange tiered Jeanswest linen dress was nice and cheerful, and a good swimwear cover up. I appreciated the linen in the heat as well!

These Kmart slides were nice and comfortable and practical for a beach day too.

After a dip in the sea to cool off we had lunch with family before heading home before another round of predicted storms that afternoon.


Last worn: tan slides, Louis Vuitton damier azur neverfull. First time I've worn the dress and the necklace as they were Christmas presents.

Other ways to wear: tan slides and printed dress, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings

Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya (Christmas present)
Shoes: 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 another humid day, unfortunately a very rainy one! Our plan for the day lined up though as we made good use of the exhibition tickets my friend got us for Christmas to go see the Lego Jurassic World Brickman exhibition at the Queensland museum. Being the summer school holidays, and it having been a very wet week, it took us a while to get through the traffic and find a park! But thankfully once we eventually got there the kids had a blast. It was one of their favourite exhibitions at the museum we've ever seen.

Lots of Lego and interactive things made for some very happy kids. I wore the little dinosaur skeleton earrings as a nod to the event but they are a little hard to spot in the photo!

I didn't carry any snacks as you can't eat in the museum but I did take my large Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag to make sure I had plenty of space for all our water bottles. I really liked the neutral black against this mango tiered linen dress. The Adidas Superstar sneakers were a practical choice for the wet day as well.


Last worn: Kmart papaya tiered linen dress, dino earrings, mixed metal necklace (above), Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart papaya tiered linen dress and blue dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and shorts.

Navy Tops, Orange Skirts and Red Bag Outfits

Two different orange skirt outfits, both featuring a little red bag and a navy tank.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Tank: Kmart navy ribbed tank
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the first official day of my summer leave. Celebrated by taking the kids along to a cookie decorating class - they had a bunch of fun, and I had a good time chatting to my friend as our kids enjoyed their cookie playdate! Also ran a few errands picking up a couple last minute gifts, as this was back earlier in December.

I really like navy and orange together, so was eager to try this navy tank with the rust button up skirt. I really liked the combination! The Converse were a practical choice for a bit of driving around, and I thought the little red bag would be a fun pop against the rust skirt. I have been wearing this bag a lot lately! I really liked this outfit.


Last worn: navy tank, statement necklace, rust skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.
 
Other ways to wear: navy tank and printed shorts, rust skirt with stripes, white Converse and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways..

My Red Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Oxfam Noah's Ark green red beaded necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

This outfit is very similar to the one above, but I didn't love it quite as much. Still a fun combination of that navy, orange and red trio though.

Again it was a simple navy tank with an orange skirt, this lovely thrifted maxi skirt that is super light for hot days, which this day certainly was! I had the little red bag from the night before, when we had gone out to White Christmas event at MovieWorld, as we stayed overnight at my parents on the coast instead of driving back home. I thought it would be fun with the little red bag and orange skirt, and since we had been at a Christmas event the night before, a little red and green necklace for a festive touch. The neutral studded sandals were what I'd worn the night before too, to keep packing light.

We unfortunately had to leave early in the morning, having to get back home for a playdate, so we didn't stay at my parents long.


Last worn: navy tank, red and green bib necklace, orange maxi skirt, studded sandals, red micro Avery bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tank and shorts, orange maxi skirt and denim jacket, studded sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

Pink Dresses, Ballet Flats and Pink Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Have been really enjoying pink at the moment! My Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag in fig pink has been on frequent repeat lately, and in these outfits I wore it with some pink dresses to create these two tonal pink outfits with different shades of pink.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

Wore this to the office. I had planned the blazer and dress and bag as I thought all the different shades of pink would look nice with the peachy pink pastel print of the floral dress. I really loved them together, and got a few compliments on this outfit in the office. The blazer and dress are such a good pairing.

I hadn't decided what shoes to wear though and went with the black ballet flats at the last minute. I really wish I'd went with my tan or silver ones instead, I think the black is a little harsh with the pinks in the outfit. But overall, I really liked this outfit, would just try different shoes next time!


Last worn: blush blazer, pastel print floral dress, black ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer and jeans, pastel print floral dress and leather jacket, black ballet flats and midi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC and stripes.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester, ballet flats in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

For a hot spring day, with the school run and working from home on the agenda,. it seemed like the perfect time to get this Kmart fuchsia pink linen dress out again that I thrifted a while back. And just like when I wore the floral dress above, I decided to try the little Rebecca Minkoff fig pink jean MAC crossbody bag with this. I did break away from being completely pink with the blue necklace. And I went with silver ballet flats this time, which I do love a lot more than the black ones I wore in the outfit above, with this dress.

I haven't worn this dress much over the cooler months, although I have tried it in winter before, Now that the weather has warmed up I'm hoping to wear it a lot more often, one of my favourite thrift finds!


Last worn: Kmart fuchsia pink linen dress, blue beaded necklace, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: Kmart fuchsia pink linen dress in winter, silver ballet flats and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC and shorts

Striped Tees, Kmart Linen Shorts and Aqua Mini MAC Bag

Both of these colourful Kmart linen shorts have come in so helpful this summer. I was happy to stumble across them in the opshop back in December, they have been getting a lot of wear since I thrifted them. This time around I'm just pairing them with basic striped tees, and a fun aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag that does with everything.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts 
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! Before dropping the kids off at school, the little one had an appointment in the city, and then it was off to school for him, and working from home for me before I picked them both up in the afternoon.

Wore my comfortable Sketchers sneakers for the driving in peak hour traffic! And I did like how they matched with the navy stripes on this tee. With the loose, slightly oversized style it didn't look quite right fully tucked into the shorts, I liked the little blouson effect here from not fully tucking it in all the way, although the tee did ride up a little through the day.

The magenta and gold marble necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the bright fuchsia of the shorts. And I really liked the pop of colour from the aqua mini MAC bag, even though it doesn't match anything in the outfit, turquoise and magenta always look great together!


Last worn: navy stripe tee, marble and gold necklace, Kmart fuchsia linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, Kmart fuchsia linen shorts and printed cover up, Sketchers and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and floral dress.

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

5 Different Ways To wear The Chain Strap On The Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

Stripes and shorts yet again! After a big day the day at the theme park, it was a very quiet weekend day, with not much to do but a trip to the playground and library.

Just as with the outfit above, I again went with the bright Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and bright linen shorts. These orange ones have a paper bag waist which I've hidden under the fabric of the striped tee - you can see the waist detail better this previous time I wore them. This tee is a little more fitted than the first one so it stayed in place all day which was good, and I liked how the very neutral grey and white stripes let the bag and shorts be the focus of the outfit.

Did add a little matchy-matchy with the navy tassel necklace and my navy Havaianas.


Last worn: grey and white stripe tee, navy tassel necklace, Kmart orange linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: grey and white stripe tee and jeans, Kmart orange linen shorts with tucked in tee, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey and white stripe tee in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in third trimester.
