Green and Blue Shorts Outfits With Black Bags

On warmer autumn days I took advantage of the milder temperatures to wear shorts one more time. I wore some green tops with two pairs of blue shorts. Although both outfits are different shades of blue and green, I liked these combinations.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer weekend day than I expected for autumn, so a simple light tank and these turquoise linen shorts seemed like a good choice to beat the heat. I wasn't too sure about the darker olive green embroidered tank with the bright turquoise linen shorts, but I'm glad I gave this outfit a try, i really liked it! I had a couple of errands to run and a trip to the opshop - after sorting through the boys winter wardrobes I had a few things to donate that they had outgrown! I picked myself up a couple of new things I couldn't resist, and some new winter pieces for them along with a bunch of books.

The only downside to this day was that the pretty necklace I'd worn, this long freshwater pearl one with the tassel, got damaged. I frequently play with the tassel on this necklace and at the end of the day I realised it wasn't on the necklace any more. I'd run so many errands I'm not sure where I lost it, such a shame as I really like wearing this!


Last worn: embroidered tank, tassel necklace, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: embroidered tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts with pink, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day in the school holidays! My sister had arranged for the boys to be wildlife carers for the day, and I was able to take the day off so my mum, sister and I could relax and have some lunch while the boys spent time with the animals. We ended up at the outlets where we had a lot of fun shopping as we waited for the boys, and mum got me some new Converse as there was an extra sale on the already discounted pieces.

As I wasn't sure what we'd ned up doing while the kids were busy, I picked a practical shorts and tee outfit, with these comfortable Adidas superstar sneakers for all the driving around, and my big black Mimco button bag for water bottles and hats. With the crew neck on this green tee, I wore one of the necklaces I thrifted on the day above. I feel the rose gold necklace is such a nice statement with the block colour tee.

Last worn: heart stud earrings, green tee, navy stripe shorts, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco black button bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent opshop purchase.

Other ways to wear: green tee and jeans, navy stripe shorts and cardigan, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Mimco black button bag and skirt.

Kmart Linen Shorts and Blue Printed Cover Ups With Upcycled Denim Tote Bag

Two colourful linen shorts outfits I wore recently, with blue printed cover ups and my awesome upcycled denim tote bag.

What I wore:

Duster: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in chartreuse
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag

Why I wore it:

Bright and colourful for working from home and doing the school run. With the turquoise linen shorts, and the navy tie dye duster I added even more blue with this upcycled blue jeans turned into a tote bag. I didn't really need to carry that much to need such a big bag, but it was nice to have even more blue in this outfit. Even the blue beaded necklace and the navy Havaianas meet that theme. It's just the mustard yellow tank for a bit of contrasting colour. I like the way the yellow pops against the navy and the turquoise linen shorts.

Last worn: tie dye duster, blue beaded necklace, mustard tank, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas. First time I've worn the upcycled denim tote bag as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: tie dye duster and jeans, mustard tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts and graphic tee.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
Earrings: Mimco circle stud
Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag

Why I wore it:

Another hot and humid summer day in Brisbane, another pair of linen shorts! Like the turquoise pair above, these were also a lucky opshop find and are perfect on warm days. I went with a simple white tee as the shorts are colourful enough, and then added the floral print cover up for a bit of additional physical sunblock.

Unlike the first outfit, I needed all the capacity of the denim tote bag on this day as we had snacks and water bottles as we spent the day down the coast at Movie World, checking out the new Wizard of Oz rides. They were so much fun! All of the walking meant I picked my extra comfortable Sketchers sneakers for the extra support for my knee as well.


Last worn: blue printed cover up, blue beaded necklace, white tee, fuchsia pink linen shorts, Sketchers, Re-UP upcycled denim tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue printed cover up and skirt, white tee and jeans, fuchsia pink linen shorts and stripes, Sketchers and dress.

Metallic Tops and Shorts With Green Mini 5-Zip Bag

Adding a little interest to simple shorts outfits with metallic tops this summer.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Singlet: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Shorts:  thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

This was another hot and humid Brisbane day and I had to go out for a couple of appointments. I went with this metallic tank and my comfortable linen shorts. They are great in the heat. I added the cover up for a little sun coverage on my bare shoulders, and I really liked the colours of the print with the turquoise shorts. The blue was a nice pairing with the turquoise linen shorts, with the green in the print as well I decided to go for green accessories. This Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and the geometric beaded necklace have been worn together frequently, it's a combination I really enjoy accessorising with.

Last worn: tropical palm print cover up, metallic tank, beaded necklace, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical palm print cover up and jeans, metallic tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts with pink, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Tee: Just Jeans Jamie shirt tail v neck tee in coated champagne gold
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

Another metallic top and tee outfit! We decided to put one of the gift vouchers the kids got for Christmas to use and headed out to an indoor play area for an extended session. The boys loved it! I had my latest book in the reusable tote filled with their water bottles as well, as I got to sit and read and relax as they played and had a great time.

I thought this metallic gold tee was a nice choice, a little more dressy than a plain tee, and I liked it with the black printed shorts. Again I added green accessories, with the same Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and a different green beaded necklace. The sneakers were comfortable as well, and good for driving around a little after before heading home for lunch.


Last worn: metallic linen tee, green beaded necklace, black printed shorts, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: metallic linen tee worn 2 ways, black printed shorts and graphic tee, Nike Court Royale sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and jeans.

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

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.
