Dresses and Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Neverfull Tote Bag

Wearing two different dresses with my big Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull tote bag for a couple of recent weekend days.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress

Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

This was a really nice day! With Lunar New Year just a few days away, we met up with some friends for Yum Cha. As the kids were coming along as well I brought my big Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote so I could have some books inside for them. They were quite happy to sit and read while waiting for the food to arrive. Such good food and great company, it was a lovely lunch!

I picked this pretty geometric printed maxi dress to wear as I never feel over or under dressed in a maxi dress! With the busy print and the damier azur print on the Neverfull tote I kept it simple with the accessories, these braided sandals are a favourite and the gold glitter earrings and faux pearl necklace.


Last worn: glitter circle earrings, faux pearl necklace, Mimco bracelet, Hermes bracelet, geometric print maxi dress, braided sandals, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote.

Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

While not as colourful as the outfit above, I really liked this outfit too! We spent the day down the coast at my parents, cooling off by playing in the water. It's not the first time I've worn this navy tiered dress and Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag together, it's a great combination. The print on the tote is a nice pairing with the block colour navy tiered dress.

This dress is nice and comfortable, and a great bikini cover up, and the Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote is a practical choice for all the little extras I needed. it was another really fun day spending time with family.

Printed Maxi Dresses And Colourful Mini MAC Bags

Enjoying wearing two of my printed spaghetti strap maxi dresses for Summer days here in Brisbane, with colourful Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Sophia high-low maxi dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies blue and natural wooden bead bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

I felt this maxi dress was overdue another wear! It does seem a bit more dressed up sometimes so I pass over it in my wardrobe, but I got it out for a fun pool party and lunch down the coast, and really enjoyed wearing it. Although the pink in the print isn't the exact same shade as the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag, the two looked so good together. I am surprised I haven't worn the bag and dress together before actually.

I added some turquoise accessories also, as there is some turquoise in the print of the maxi dress. I liked the turquoise and gold necklace with this, and my recently thrifted wooden bracelet stack. Both easy accessories to remove when it was time to jump in the pool.


Last worn: high low ruffle hem maxi dress, turquoise beaded necklace, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: high low ruffle hem maxi dress and denim jacket, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini 5-zip bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: opal reindeer stud earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

This was a really relaxing day off! I had a couple of errands to run at the start of the day, but also treated myself to a massage. Didn't even have to cook dinner in the afternoon as we went to my favourite restaurant.

I wanted to be comfortable on such a hot day, so went with this colourful geometric print maxi dress. I like the yellow bag with it, although like in the first outfit, the yellow in the bag and yellow in the print are not an exact match. I added the bronze foil beaded necklace to this but reviewing the photos think the yellow necklace I considered instead may have been better.

This is such a nice dress to wear, and a bargain at just $1 from the opshop too. Definitely getting good value from this thrift find.


Last worn: opal stud earrings, foil beaded necklace, geometric printed maxi dress, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: geometric printed maxi dress layered 2 ways, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and shorts.

What I Wore For Christmas! Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day Outfits

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Getting around to sharing what I wore for Christmas, over multiple days of celebration with family, friends and food. 

We spend Christmas Eve together for family time and baking and crafting, and then Christmas Day is the main event with the massive lunch and all the presents, and then it's over to the in-laws on Boxing day to celebrate Christmas with them too.

What I wore:

Hat: Santa hat

Earrings: festive cockatoo and presents statement earrings (Christmas present)
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 

Why I wore it:

This is what I wore for Christmas day. I bought this preloved maxi dress at fashion markets back in 2023, although I hadn't worn it in 2024 at all. I went to wear it one day and then thought "this would be the perfect dress for Christmas" and I haven't worn it since, trying to "save" it for the occasion, which is a little silly. It was so good to give it a wear again and realise I've passed over wearing it for no real reason, as I love it.

After an extremely early 4am wakeup from the over-excited kids, it was present time then church and back home to cook Christmas lunch with the family. I was hosting again this year, and invited my friend along to join us for lunch as well so it was a little busier than most times I've hosted Christmas! It was so fun having more people at our table though.


Last worn: Santa hat, Orange Sherbet maxi dress, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Leo clutch. First time I've worn the festive cockatoo earrings as I got them for Christmas.

Other ways to wear: Santa hat and coral dress, Orange Sherbet maxi dress worn 2 ways, braided sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Leo clutch and navy dress.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Tee: festive glitter Santa tee
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt (new purchase)
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies green glitter resin bangle and Polka Luka resin bangles in red and teal
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This is what I wore for Christmas eve. I was particularly excited about wearing this Nobody Denim skirt. It's not the first wear, but first wear on the blog. I bought it at Salvos, new with tags, for a bargain $30, which I'm very pleased with. I wore it with my annual Christmas Eve tee, one my sister bought me back in 2012. It's a little less glitter than when it was new, but it's still going strong 12 years later!

Stuck with the festive theme with my big glittery gingerbread man earrings, red and green resin bracelets, and red Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.


Last worn: glitter gingerbread earrings, festive Santa tee, Havaianas, red and green resin bracelets, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag. It's the first time I've worn the green glitter resin bracelet and Nobody Denim skirt as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: festive Santa tee and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: festive Santa tee in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: festive cockatoo and presents statement earrings
Dress: Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 

Why I wore it:

I wore this for celebrating Christmas on boxing day with the in-laws. It's a much more casual Christmas celebration but I still like to wear a pretty dress. And it was another excuse for me to wear these amazing cockatoo sitting on presents earrings that I got in my stocking! I liked the native floral illustration in the earrings complimenting the floral print of the teal maxi dress.

The tie around the waist for the dress seemed like a nice idea at first, but I ended up taking it off so the dress hung loose. Better on the hot day, and for all the delicious food I was anticipating! The kids had a great time and this dress was perfect, especially as I spent some time on the floor with the dogs. When we adopted Bonnie earlier this year we increased the total number of dogs at the in-laws Christmas celebration to 5, so there were a lot of very good dogs to pat and play with.

Last worn: cockatoo earrings (above), teal floral maxi dress, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch (above).

Other ways to wear: teal floral maxi dress on Christmas day, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and red dress.

Printed Dresses, Bright Blazers and Mimco Teal Cocoon Bucket Bag

Wearing two pretty floral print dresses that I tried to make a little more formal for office days by adding bright blazers on top.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

I've worn this Jaase Celine dress into the office before. It's my go-to dress for special events, but I think with a blazer it looks a little more formal for a day at work. We had a lunch event on so I ended up taking the blazer off, the long sleeves on this dress kept me warm enough.

I really liked the orange blazer with the autumn leaves print on the dress, it was a great combination. I added the teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag as I've been loving wearing it lately, even though it doesn't match any of the colours in this print I liked the teal with the orange blazer and navy dress. The orange blazer just pops with everything I've worn it with.

Last worn: Tiffany necklace, orange blazer, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress, white Converse, Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and jeans, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress and leather jacket, white Converse and skirt, Mimco cocoon bucket bag with pink.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: gold Christmas present bow hoops
Necklace: Silhoupette gold plated Shih Tzu necklace
Dress: Boho Luxe floral print maxi dress (from my sister's wardrobe)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

My sister recently brought over a bunch of pieces she didn't want any more, and when I saw this dress I knew I had to have it! I always love a maxi dress. Wore it for another wet but humid day, again as I did with the dress above by adding the blazer to make it a little more office appropriate.

There were a few of us in the office on this day and we smiled when we realised most of us were wearing maxi dresses - I love unexpected coordinating like that! It was a day full of meetings so I kept the blazer on as we rushed between meeting rooms, but at least I was colourful and comfortable. The teal Mimco bag was a good match to the blues and turquoises in the print of the dress too I thought.


Last worn: gold silhouette necklace, cobalt blazer, blue Converse, Mimco cocoon bag (above). First time I've worn this dress as it's from my sister's wardrobe, and first time I've worn the earrings as they were a gift last Christmas.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and jeans, blue Converse and shorts, Mimco cocoon bag and skirt.

Tiered Maxi Dresses and Leopard Print Scarves

Adding a little extra colour and print to two Kmart tiered maxi dress outfits for Brisbane's winter with leather jackets and leopard print scarves.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Supre neon pink leopard print scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Felt this scarf was overdue a wear - an impulse $5 sale buy when I walked past a store years ago, I still love it today! With the denim tiered maxi dress, I felt it added a nice pop of colour and print, and with the black leather jacket, kept me cosy for a cold winter day. I had the school run, an appointment for my youngest, then dropping him off at school for the rest of the day and running a few errands myself before school pick up.

The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was a practical choice to carry all the little extras I needed over the day. The navy Sketchers sneakers were a practical choice too as the appointment was at a specialist a bit of a drive away and I needed something comfortable to wear on my knee with all that driving, as I aggravated my old knee injury again when walking the dogs.

Last worn: black leather jacket, leopard print scarf, denim dress, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and printed jeans, leopard print scarf and knit, denim dress without jacket, Sketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and band tee.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: ASOS crinkle oversized leopard print scarf
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Surprised to see I haven't worn this orange tiered midi dress with this cobalt jacket before, it's such a fun and colourful winter combination! I needed a little extra warmth for an early morning appointment for myself, and yet more errands. I added the leopard print scarf just like in the outfit above for a little extra print. I liked this outfit formula in both of these resulting outfits, it was good to wear it again!

I did end up taking the jacket off when it warmed up a little later that morning though, wasn't a necessity for a little opshop browsing I did before I headed home. Just like the outfit above, I'd picked the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag to wear as I had a few things and some paperwork to carry around.

Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, silver earrings, leopard print scarf, orange tiered maxi dress, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, leopard print scarf and ombre knit, orange tiered maxi dress and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Maxi Dresses, Denim Jackets, Scarves and Boots

June is the start of winter in Brisbane, and it's definitely brought some scarf weather along with it! It was good to get both of these heart print scarves out again, worn with denim jackets and my Kmart tiered midi dresses for some weekend birthday parties.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day, with a birthday party in the morning and then Bonnie's puppy training class in the afternoon. While we were mostly indoors I wanted to be warm and cosy, so layered up this coral dress with the fun heart print tassel scarf. I really liked the scarf and dress together, even if the red in the scarf is a slightly different shade from the coral of the dress. I was sure I'd worn this scarf before but can't find it on the blog - it was one mum got me for Christmas, so surprised this is its first wear!

With the denim jacket and black ankle boots, this was nice and cosy for the day. I could fit a little extra than usual in the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag too, perfect for extra training treats for Bonnie at the class, and I liked the matchy-matchy of it with the black ankle boots.


Last worn: heart earrings, denim jacket, coral midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, coral midi dress for Christmas, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven

Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Took another opportunity to wear the dress, denim jacket, heart scarf and boots combination I liked so much above, with this fuchsia pink tiered midi dress. We had another birthday party to attend and I probably overdressed for it - it was at the arcade so when I tried to jump on one of the arcade games with my son's friend I realised a midi dress was not the most practical for a motorbike race, ha!

I did really like this outfit though, the Stella McCartney scarf is a firm favourite of mine, I love big blanket scarves! And it was so cosy, especially with the tall tan boots. The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag didn't match my boots like it did in the outfit above, but I did appreciate the way it matched the navy in the scarf and it easily held all the essentials plus water bottles for the party.


Last worn: star earrings, white denim jacket, Stella McCartney scarf, fuchsia pink midi dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and skirt, Stella McCartney scarf and jeans, fuchsia pink midi dress with yellow, tan boots and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and jeans.

Maxi Dresses and Denim Jackets With Chloe Purple Paraty Bag

Denim jackets again! I've been making the most of wearing them in the early days of winter before it gets cold enough to need my winter knits and leather jackets! Using my classic blue denim jacket as a topper over both of these maxi dresses, which were opshop finds.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Dress: thrifted black Jeanswest halterneck maxi dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

It's been far too long since I last wore this black halter maxi dress, so I took the opportunity to wear it out for lunch and a bit of shopping with my mum and sister. Making the most of the warmer day, I got to wear my sandals again, although I did have to cover up my shoulders with the denim jacket so I wasn't too cold.

The black jersey fabric looks great with everything being a neutral, but I liked the idea of the dark purple Chloe Paraty bag with this. The gold marble necklace doesn't have the exact same shade of purple in it, but I still really liked the accessory combination.


Last worn: heart studs, denim jacket, marble necklace, black maxi dress, wrap bracelet, crossover slides, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, black maxi dress and kimono, crossover slides and printed dress, Chloe purple Paraty bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, black maxi dress in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Wore the exact same combination with the denim jacket and another maxi dress again the next weekend. This was a much more colourful outfit with the bright geometric print on this thrifted maxi dress, but again I thought the darker purple Chloe Paraty bag was a good accompaniment with the dress.

It was a good size for containing my book to pass the time sitting on the sidelines at the kids sport, and also fit all my essentials plus a little bag of treats for when we took Bonnie to her first training class. When we adopted Cooper over 12 years ago, he was too old for the only classes I could find around which were all puppy classes. It was nice to be able to find a local class for Bonnie after we adopted her - she was surrendered to the shelter twice so definitely needed some help learning manners, 2 homes is a lot for a 1 year old pup! She's doing great with them and of course Cooper is loving the easy treats he gets when we practice at home as he knows all the basics already!


Last worn: denim jacket (above), double circle necklace, black beaded bracelet stack, printed maxi dress, white Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, printed maxi dress worn 2 ways, white Converse and jeans, Chloe purple Paraty bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

4 Simple Dress Outfits For Beach Life At Tangalooma

This is an overdue post! Over Lunar New Year we stayed at Tangalooma with the in-laws, on the beautiful Mulgumpin Island. Last time hubby and I were there was for our honeymoon and I have no idea why it took us so long to visit again, it's the best place. Most of the time I was in a bikini, but I did also wear a few dresses for dinner and sometimes as a cover up over my bikinis. I packed light, with one bag, my big Neverfull tote, and just a few dresses. Didn't even take my camera so just Instagram pics from my phone.

What I wore:

Hat: Big W bow detail sunhat
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

This dress makes such a good cover up! Perfect for a lazy day by the pool. It was suitable for going out for lunch as well. We did have a little rain shower, which didn't bother the kids as they were already in the pool! And thankfully this dress dried quickly when the sun came back out.


Last worn: sunhat, tiered sundress, Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: tiered sundress and denim jacket, Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Another great cover up, I've worn this dress to a pool party before as it's nice and light. It's a quick drying viscose and such a lovely print. As you can see in the photo, it was a bit of a rainy start to the day! We headed out to the pool anyway and thankfully the sun came out before we went scuba diving round the Tangalooma wrecks. It was a little scary as with the wind and the earlier rain the waves were really high, but under the water around the wrecks was just stunning, so many fish! We had the best time.

It stayed dry all afternoon, and hubby and the kids enjoyed the pool while I had a very indulgent beachside massage. Absolute bliss.


Last worn: floral babydoll dress, gold and blue beaded necklace, Louis Vuitton Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: floral babydoll dress and blazer, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

While we missed the evening's kookaburra feeding there were still some of the birds hanging around after the event, so I tried to take a pic with them. This kookaburra quickly figured no more food was coming and flew off though!

I wore this fun geometric print maxi dress with my Louis Vuitton Neverfull and the gold statement necklace when we all went out for dinner. The barman even managed to knock up a mocktail for the kids that was similar to the 'welcome drinks' I enjoyed when I came to Tangalooma as a kid.


Last worn: hammered gold necklace, geometric print maxi dress, Louis Vuitton Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: geometric print maxi dress worn 2 ways, Louis Vuitton Neverfull and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull in third trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Another simple tiered dress for dinner. I picked this one, also another great bikini cover up, to wear out for dinner and for our dolphin feeding. The waves were pretty high and we had to go waist deep into the water so I figured a light dress like this one would be best as it would dry quickly afterwards.

Did get a little difficult walking into the surf trying to hold onto my son, a fish for the dolphin, and the dress that was floating up around me! But once we got further into the water the wetness held it down. It was so fun feeding the dolphins again. There's a pod of local wild dolphins that come up to Tangalooma pier every night for food and the dolphin we fed was the son of the dolphin that my sister and I fed a couple times as kids, and that my husband and I fed on our honeymoon! Such a special thing to share with our boys.


Last worn: hammered necklace (above), blue printed tiered dress, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: blue printed tiered dress under a tee, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull at 38 weeks.

Pink Tiered Dresses And Stella McCartney Falabella Bag

Wearing two pretty pink tiered midi dresses, for two different events lately. One more formal the other more casual. Wearing my recently thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag with both dresses too, black and pink always work!

What I wore:

Earrings: silver spiral earrings
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage charm bracelet
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

It was a day threatening to storm and rain so I added little black ankle boots to this pink and red floral print Orange Sherbet tiered midi dress. I picked it up at the preloved fashion markets this year and I'm so glad I did, I love it! With the black boots, the black Stella McCartney Falabella seemed like a good matchy-matchy choice, and it also had plenty of room for my essentials, some snacks, and my camera. We had an awards ceremony to attend for my son. I'm being vague for privacy reasons, but it was a very fancy ceremony and I'm very proud of him! It was so good to see his joy as he was celebrated in front of so many people.


Last worn: silver necklace, Orange Sherbet dress, black ankle boots, Stella McCartney Falabella.

Other ways to wear: Orange Sherbet dress worn two ways, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Stella McCartney Falabella and jeans.

Thrift Find: Stella McCartney Falabella

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

Another pink tiered midi dress, again with my Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I love this bag as it works with everything! Wore this for a much more casual event, a kids birthday party. It was a lot of fun, but such a hot day. I was very thankful for this dress which catches the breeze so nicely, and the tiered loose style makes it comfortable in the heat. I did try dress it up a little with the matchy-matchy purple necklace and statement earrings, but still wore my comfortable Havaianas as it was just a nice relaxed party with friends. My kids kept talking about how it was the best party ever, they had a blast!


Last worn: lilac earrings, pastel necklace, pink tiered dress, Havaianas, Stella McCartney Falabella bag (above).
