Kmart Linen Shorts, Navy Tees and Printed Cover Ups

Pulled out my linen shorts for spring weekend days. Both these outfits feature the Kmart linen blend shorts I was lucky enough to stumble across in the opshop in two different colours, as well as different shades of blue and pink.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' printed kimono
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

Blue, pink and purple is a trio I love to wear and I liked the different shades of it in this outfit, with the fuchsia shorts, navy tee and the navy and purple printed cover up with the plum purple mini MAB tote bag.

I picked this to wear for a warm yet windy day at the beachfront with my friend. We hadn't caught up in a while so it was good to take advantage of the weather and let the kids play in the water. The wading pool is nice shallow water and the boys spent most of their time there so I wore the shorts as I could stand in the pool with them if needed. And I like this navy tee with pink. The purple printed cover up was a must have for some extra sun protection, and then I added more purple with the plum mini MAB tote bag. While I had the big beach bag with towels, water bottles and beach toys, the mini MAB let me keep my phone and essentials close by as I wasn't swimming.


Last worn: purple printed cover up, beaded necklace, navy tee, fuchsia linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple MAB.

Other ways to wear: purple printed cover up and denim, navy tee worn 30 ways, fuchsia linen shorts and stripes, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways..

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart blue and pink palm print cover up
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another navy tee and linen shorts outfit, with this turquoise pair. I still added some pink to this outfit with the fun tropical palm print cover up. Once again I wore it for a little extra sun protection, as we had a picnic down the coast with family. It was another really nice warm day so the kids had a blast playing in the water as I sat around enjoying the good food and conversation while keeping an eye on them.

As I didn't need to carry much and I had all the bright colours in my outfit with the pink and turquoise already, I kept the bag simple and wore my little black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.


Last worn: palm print cover up, beaded necklace, navy tee, turquoise shorts, braided sandals, Mimco crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: palm print cover up and skirt, navy tee and jeans, turquoise shorts and graphic tee, braided sandals and dress, Mimco crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

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).

Other ways to wear: navy embroidered tunic and cardigan, fuchsia pink linen shorts and stripes, Sketchers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and dress.

Blue Shorts and Tee Outfits With Pink MAB Crossbody Bag

Sticking with a colour combination I love for these shorts and tee outfits, wearing tonal blue with my little dusty pink Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag as a pop of colour.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

Felt like wearing a lot of blue on this day! I had the school run, a physio appointment, and working from home before school pickup in the afternoon. As it was another hot day, shorts and tee was a sensible choice! Wore my Sketchers sneakers for practicality with the physio appointment too.

I really liked the pastel blue of the tee with the navy striped belted linen shorts, but I felt this outfit was missing something, so I added the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag for a bit of extra colour. While it's a lighter pink, I really like this bag with blue and I feel this made the outfit a lot better. I loved it.


Last worn: pastel blue tee, Tiffany necklace, striped linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: pastel blue tee and skirt, striped linen shorts and cardigan, Sketchers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag with black outfit.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the first outfit above so much, I created a very similar outfit the next day! It was yet another humid day, so the linen shorts were good in the heat, and also a practical choice. We had a kid's DIY class at Bunnings in the morning and then in the afternoon we went to go get some puppy cuddles. Wanted something that would be comfortable for both these events and shorts and tee were perfect. It's a mum staple for a reason!

Again I wore the little MAB studded crossbody bag, it looks just as good with the turquoise and navy as it did in the pastel blue and navy outfit above. I added the pastel pink necklace for a little matchy-matchy, but the pink on the necklace is a lot lighter and doesn't show up in photos as well. I still liked wearing the accessories together.


Last worn: navy tee, statement necklace, linen shorts, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tee and skirt, linen shorts and graphic tee, tan slides and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag with floral dress.

Magnificent 8: Lunar New Year - Year Of The Dragon

For our first Magnificent 8 style post for 2024, we are doing Lunar New year! 2024 is the year of the dragon. And a fun way to theme our first collaboration post of the year.

While the luckiest colours to wear for Lunar new year depend on your Chinese zodiac sign, red and gold are common colours to wear to welcome in the new year, so I put together some red and gold outfits to meet the theme. Neither of these outfits I will be wearing to celebrate Lunar new year (we have a big traditional feast for Lunar new year, cooked by my Asian in-laws). While they are not the ones I am planning to wear, they would definitely both work for Lunar new year!

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

This was another wet and humid summer day! We'd thought about going to the beach but the weather put an end to that when the rain set in for the morning. In the end we headed to a local indoor pool to splash around a bit instead. This Kmart coral tiered maxi dress is a nice shade of red and a great cover up for my swimmers. I had the big swim bag with everyone's change of clothes and towels, so just needed a little crossbody bag for my essentials like keys and phone. This micro Regan bag was perfect for it, and worked well when I ran a few errands before our swim too.

I like the mustard yellow with the coral red of the dress, and the official name for the colour is 'harvest gold' so I felt it met our theme well. The gold circle necklace added a little more gold as well.


Last worn: tiered midi dress, gold circle necklace, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

Other ways to wear: tiered midi dress for Christmas, tan slides and printed dress, mustard micro Regan bag worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Jacket: Local Women's Handicrafts gold and burgundy silk kimono
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One sangria v-neck tee (Christmas present)
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

I actually considered wearing this tee to celebrate Lunar new year with the family! I got it for Christmas and it's the perfect deep shade of red, and with the red and gold cover up it seemed perfectly themed for the occasion. I've decided on another outfit, but figured I'd still give this one a wear. Rather than black or white denim shorts I went with these turquoise linen ones, just because black and white aren't as good colours to wear to usher in the new year.

I added my little blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag for the same reason - more blue! And my comfortable Kmart tan slides which have almost never been off my feet since I unwrapped them on Christmas day!

This was a nice and comfortable shorts and tee outfit for a playdate. I added the gold necklace for a bit of matchy-matchy with the print on the cover up, and because it meets the Lunar new year theme.

Last worn: silk cover up, double pendant necklace, turquoise shorts, tan slides (above), Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag. First time I've worn the red tee as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: silk cover up and white shorts, turquoise shorts and band tee, tan slides and dress, Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag and denim.

Navy Tees, Shorts, Prints and Pink Jean MAC Bag

Two simple navy tees and shorts outfits, again with my Rebecca Minkoff fig pink Jean MAC bag. I've really been loving it lately, and the pretty pink shade goes so nicely with navy.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace

Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

Needed a nice simple shorts and tee outfit for the school run, working from home, and a physio appointment. This shorts and tee combination was perfect. With the navy blue tee and the pastel blue of the shorts the tri-colour necklace that had similar shades of blue was a great accessory! And I wore this Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag again because I love it with navy. Comfortable Sketchers sneakers for the drive to the physio and for doing all the exercises.


Last worn: navy tee, wooden necklace, pastel print culottes, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC.

Other ways to wear: navy tee and denim skirt, pastel print culottes and cardigan, Sketchers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC and dress.

Tee: Kmart Dnight navy textured v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

Again, needed a comfortable and simple outfit so wen with shorts and a tee. These turquoise thrifted linen shorts were great in the heat! With the navy tee and turquoise shorts I wanted to add a little extra colour as well, the fig pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag was again good for this.  When I saw this cover up in my wardrobe and knew it would be perfect, with the different shades or pink and blue in the print. I liked how well coordinated this outfit was!

Had a couple errands to run in the morning, then had my parents come over for lunch.


Last worn: printed cover up, tassel necklace, navy tee, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC (above).

Graphic Tees, Linen Shorts and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

More photos from our Sea World Resort staycation for today's Weekday Wear Link Up! I kept things simple and comfortable for our days exploring the theme parks, with linen shorts and graphic tees. the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was a good size for carrying everything we needed, yet small enough to leave in the lockers at the side of the rides when we rode.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono
Tee: Canada bear graphic tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Grabbed this opportunity to get an outfit pic after just coming off the Wild West Falls ride you see behind me, so I was a little drenched from the splashdown! It was lots of fun though, although not one of my son's favourite rides. Maybe when he's a bit older!

Although the blue in the graphic print on the tee doesn't match the turquoise of the linen shorts, I really liked the two together! And I added the printed cover up on top mostly for the extra sun protection, as we walked around the theme park all day. I liked those the little mustard triangles in the print complimented the yellows and oranges in the graphic of the tee.

Last worn: printed cover up, graphic tee, linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and dress, graphic tee and jeans, linen shorts and white tee, Sketchers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and denim.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee 
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this for our trip down to the resort, and quickly realised once we were checked in and exploring the theme park that the denim jacket was a really silly idea for such a hot day! It had been a cooler morning when we had driven down the coast, but warmed up quickly, and the jacket spent most of the day in my bag as we jumped around between rides. I was thankful for it when we went out for dinner in the evening though and it had gotten cooler.

Again, the graphic print on this Kisschasy band tee doesn't really match the rust orange of the linen shorts, but I felt they were close enough together that this outfit worked. Especially with the dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag matching the black background on the tee nicely!


Last worn: denim jacket, Kisschasy band tee, orange linen shorts, Sketchers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Kisschasy band tee and jeans, orange linen shorts and floral print, Sketchers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

Linen Shorts With Embroidered Tanks and White Cover Ups

Loving the Brisbane weather that meant I could still get some wear from these linen shorts I thrifted last year well into autumn! This time around I wore them with embroidered tanks and white cover ups, for a couple of days back in the Easter school holidays.

What I wore:

Jacket:  Shein lace trimmed crochet inset white kimono c/o
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Sometimes I like showing off the cuter paper bag waist on these linen shorts, like I did last time I wore them. Other times I like pairing them with voluminous tops and hiding the waistband for a completely different look. I thought I'd be brave and try orange and green together - this olive embroidered tank was perfect with the orange linen shorts, I liked the way it draped. I did have to add a cover up on top as it was a little cold for bare arms and legs, so I went with this neutral white one.

Stuck with a big neutral bag too, this black Rebecca Minkoff tote had snacks and water bottles for a family fun day event with the kids, which we all really enjoyed.

Last worn: white crochet trim kimono, embroidered tank, orange linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: white crochet trim kimono and dress, embroidered tank and jeans, orange linen shorts and navy, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and pink dress.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace 
Tank: Sass and Bide 'Musical Genius' tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This followed the same outfit formula as the one above, with this neon embroidered Sass and Bide tank paired with these fuchsia pink linen shorts. I thought the matching pinks were a fun combination, although when I looked back at the photos I wasn't too sure the embroidery on the white cover yup worked as well as I hoped with the print on the tank.

It was a much needed practical choice though. We had booked the kids in for a messy play morning but just as we were about to leave we got a call that it had been cancelled, and we decided to head out to the park instead, and treat ourselves to some lunch. Not quite the fun day we had planned, but a pretty good alternative. It was a really sunny day so I was very glad for this cover up over my shoulders!


Last worn: embroidered cover up, Tiffany necklace, Sass and Bide tank, fuchsia linen shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote (above).

Other ways to wear: embroidered cover up and denim shorts, Sass and Bide tank and maxi skirt, fuchsia linen shorts and stripes, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: Sass and Bide tank in second trimester.

Kmart Linen Shorts Outfits With Plain Tees and Colourful Cover Ups

Wearing these Kmart linen shorts I thrifted back in December into autumn by adding some longer printed cover ups on top.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

While the kids were with the in-laws, I took advantage of some rare time to myself and went opshopping with a friend. I got some really cute things, I'll do a post on Friday about what I got. As always while I didn't get too much fashion related for myself I did spend an awful lot - books were $1 each so I stocked up on some for me and some for the kids too. After my relaxing morning browsing the opshops, I had to do a few less exciting things around the house in the afternoon.

I really like pink and blue together so the light blue tee seemed like such an easy choice with the hot pink linen shorts. And I think wearing the shorts and necklace I thrifted on my last trip brought me good thrifting luck again this time! The navy tie dye cover up was nice in the morning, it was a littler cooler and this is a comfortable piece that didn't overheat me later in the day when it did warm up. 

The aqua bag was a fun pop with the different shades of blue and the fuchsia pink too. I rarely match this bag to anything in my outfit, it is just such a good pop of colour on its own.

Last worn: tie dye cover up, light blue tee, chunky necklace, fuchsia linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tie dye cover up and denim skirt, light blue tee and shorts, fuchsia linen shorts with yellow, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC at 39 weeks.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Eliza summer poncho in yellow floral
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

This is a very bright outfit with the yellow and orange and aquamarine together! I saw this yellow printed cover up when I was wondering which one would go best with this white tee and orange shorts outfit, and while it is a very bright combination I think it was so fun to wear!

This was a fun but busy day, as I had the day off to spend with the kids and we tried to cram a lot in! The kids had a school holiday cooking class in the morning, we toured an environmental centre in the afternoon (and gave them some of our stick insect eggs because our girls have been laying a LOT of eggs!) and then my mum came over, and the kids had a haircut in the evening. These Sketchers sneakers were a must have for all the driving around.


Last worn: yellow cover up, Tiffany heart necklace, white tee, orange linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: yellow cover up with olive green, white tee and printed jeans, orange linen shorts with navy, Sketchers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and blue dress.

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