Navy Printed Dresses With Blazers and Purple Bags

Two navy and white printed tiered dresses for the office, with blue jackets and purple bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

It was a really foggy morning on this day so I was glad I had this long maxi skirt, thankfully the fog dissipated by the time I was in the office and it turned into a warm and sunny day, so this denim jacket was the perfect layer. it kept me cosy on the cooler commute over this long sleeved printed maxi dress, and also for the afternoon, as I left the office early to take Cooper to a vet's appointment in the evening.

I really like the navy and white print on this dress, but felt like adding a little more colour to it. The fuchsia statement earrings and the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag don't match each other at all, but I like both purple and pink with blue so I really liked this combination.

it's the first time I've shared this dress on the blog - i picked it up at the Salty Crush online warehouse sale and it was a bargain. I really liked wearing it. It has pockets and while it's a light viscose the long sleeves mean I'm hoping to wear it a few more times in winter.


Last worn: fuchsia statement earrings, denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag. First time I've posted the dress as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer

Earrings: Colette Tropadelic purple beaded tassel statement earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: Anko Kmart Navy white print tiered dress from my sister's wardrobe
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

I wore this back at the end of autumn, when bare legs was possible! It's a lot cooler now it's winter in Brisbane. I really liked this outfit though. The navy and white tiered printed dress is from my sister's wardrobe, and just like the outfit above I added more colour with pink and purple accessories. The plum purple mini MAB tote bag is not the exact same shade of purple as the earrings, but I like the two together, and I added a little pink as well with the pastel pink Converse. The bright blue blazer was all the light layer I needed for this outfit on the commute to and from work. It helped make the dress a little more formal for in the office too.

This was another day I left the office early, to pickup the kids and go to an evening high school tour. They provided lots of food which was great, saved me having to cook late in the evening!


Last worn: purple tassel earrings, beaded necklace, blue blazer, navy and white tiered dress, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple MAB.

Other ways to wear: blue blazer and skirt, navy and white tiered dress with another blazer, pink Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

Red Maxi Dresses, Denim Jackets and Blue Bags

Red maxi dresses with denim jackets, sneakers and blue bags for some rainy autumn days in Brisbane recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Colette blue mixed shape faux crustal drop earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

Wore this out to church on Mother's Day. They had a photo booth setup so I could get a cute family pic, and so I picked this pretty printed dress to wear and added the new crystal statement earrings I'd picked up on sale a day earlier. The denim jacket was much needed to keep me warm and dry in this spaghetti strap maxi dress. Then with the blue statement earrings and the pale blue denim jacket, the blue beaded necklace seemed like an obvious matchy-matchy choice. The navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag isn't a match to any of the shades of blue in this outfit, but I felt it was a good neutral and continued the blue theme well.

I had a lovely Mother's day, and I enjoyed the things the kids made and bought me, I was very spoiled.


Last worn: denim jacket, blue beaded necklace, geometric print maxi dress, Nike sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford. First time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket, geometric print maxi dress and tote bag, Nike sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a much busier day, with a day out in the city with family, finally getting on the Brisbane wheel. I've never been on it before, I'm not really a fan of heights, but at least I can say I've done it now! It was another rainy day which explains my hair, and meant I needed to carry an umbrella around, although thankfully the rain dried up for a few hours in the afternoon so we could enjoy our time in the city. We even got a bit of shopping in!

Again I went with a denim jacket over this red dress to keep me warm, it was just right, especially when the sun came out later in the afternoon. I went with the faux pearl necklace to match the pearl earrings, and yet another blue bag, my periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty. It's a good bag for the essentials plus an extra like an umbrella, it fits a lot!

I wore sneakers again, my comfortable Sketchers, as we had a lot of walking planned. It was such a good day.


Last worn: denim jacket, pearl earrings, faux pearl necklace, red tiered midi dress, Sketchers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket, red tiered midi dress and leather jacket, Sketchers, Chloe Paraty bag with yellow.

Denim Dresses, Converse and Statement Bags

Two different tiered denim dress outfits I wore recently for Brisbane's autumn weather.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

It was the perfect autumn weather to give this dress another wear! Got it out again of wear to church, when it was a cooler morning but warmer in the afternoon when I had a few errands to run after church.

Again I wore my Chloe Paddington bag, it's been getting a lot of love lately and I really like wearing it with this little tiered denim dress. I went a bit matchy-matchy with the gold necklace, and the brown Converse, even though the browns are very different shades.


Last worn: charm necklace, tiered denim dress, brown Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wear: tiered denim dress and leather jacket, brown Converse and skirt, Chloe Paddington bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Chloe Paddington bag in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH

Why I wore it:

I wore the same brown Converse again with another denim dress, this tiered Kmart midi one. It's a much thicker denim and being a long maxi length on my petite self it was perfect for a milder autumn night. Hubby and I had a rare date night, dinner and a show at the Brisbane Comedy Festival. I didn't have to carry much, just my phone really, so took the excuse to take this pretty clutch out again.

Not the most practical choice for mum life, but it was a great clutch for our night out, even though I didn't have to carry more than my phone or wallet.

Added the statement earrings to try dress this outfit up a little, I really liked them with this dress, the statement earrings and bright studded clutch stopped it looking a little too casual I felt. And although I did consider taking a scarf for when it got dark later I'm glad I didn't as I didn't really need it, it was a nice warm night and the thick denim kept me warm enough.

Last worn: beaded statement earrings, tiered denim maxi dress, brown Converse (above), mangue Balenciaga envelope clutch.

Other ways to wear: tiered denim maxi dress and scarf, brown Converse and jeans, mangue Balenciaga envelope clutch and florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: mangue Balenciaga envelope clutch in third trimester.

Printed Maxi Dresses and Cream Chloe Small Paddington Bag

Being a bit behind with sharing what I wore on the blog, these are the outfits I wore for Easter with the family. We spent the day before Easter with my family down the coast, and then Easter Sunday at church in the morning and the in-laws in the afternoon.

What I wore:

Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Earrings: thrifted Lovisa red tassel earrings

Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus red Polka Luka resin bangle and thrifted cream resin bangle duo set
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Another wearing of this beautiful floral tiered maxi dress, for Easter Sunday morning at church, an egg hunt for the kids, and then over to the in-laws for Easter lunch.

It was a warmer day than I expected so I was able to go without a jacket which was nice, and wore these thrifted sandals. The red tassel earrings are a new with tags opshop find, and they are so perfect with the red floral print in this dress. I tried to be a little more matchy-matchy with the bangles too, the red resin one was a gift from a friend but the cream resin ones were also an opshop find.

While the Chloe small Paddington bag is more of a darker creamier almost beige colour, I still thought it went nicely with all the white in this outfit, and as I've been inspired to wear my Chloe Paddington bags again this was definitely overdue a spin. It's such a cute bag.

The only think I didn't like about this outfit was that my necklace snapped! Thankfully I caught the charm as well as the chain, and have already been to the jeweller to fix it. It's a super old necklace I've had for decades so I'm pleased it was able to be fixed.

Last worn: vintage initial necklace, cream resin bracelets, red resin bangle, Orange Sherbet floral tiered maxi dress, leopard print sandals, Chloe small Paddington bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Orange Sherbet floral tiered maxi dress for Christmas, leopard print sandals and skirt, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted Lovisa red tassel earrings
Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Again I couldn't resist going matchy-matchy with the print in this dress and the red tassel earrings! This was another Easter celebration, a day earlier down the coast with my family. I wanted to be comfortable and pulled together but also be able to run around with the kids as my mum always plans the most epic Easter egg hunts. And there is so much good food, I didn't want anything restrictive to wear. This geometric print maxi dress is a firm favourite, and was also, like the braided sandals, an opshop find.

Just like in the outfit above, the cream-toned small Chloe Paddington bag doesn't match anything in this outfit, but I liked it all the same. It's such a cute accessory. I did try match it a little with the rose gold necklace, I figured the gold hardware was far away enough from the necklace that you couldn't see the mismatch in the gold tones too much.


Last worn: red tassel earrings (above), rose gold filigree heart necklace, geometric print maxi dress, braided sandals, Chloe small Paddington bag (above).

Other ways to wear: geometric print maxi dress worn 2 ways, braided sandals and skirt, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.

Red Printed Dresses With Chloe Marcie Shoulder Bag

Two long and colourful red printed dresses for a weekend of kids birthday parties recently. With both red dresses I wore my medium Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a birthday party at our local indoor play place. It was very loud, as it was a wet day so the entire area had been booked out and there were a lot of kids running around! But the kids had fun and that was the main thing.

Wore this pretty Kmart coral printed wrap dress as it was overdue another wear - I like the cheerful coral shade and dresses are an easy go to for me for any event as I don't have to think too hard about my outfit, one and done!

I had the kids water bottles as well so the Chloe Marcie bag was perfect as it fits all my essentials and more.


Last worn: initial necklace, coral red print wrap dress, tan slides, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: coral red print wrap dress for Christmas, tan slides and jeans, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and skirt.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage charm bracelet
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Another weekend day, another birthday party! It was a really hot and humid day so I went for this pretty tiered maxi dress, it's nice on warm days. And after I wore it for Christmas I'm challenging myself to wear it more often, I love it every time I do wear it so it doesn't make sense to "save" it for special occasions. We had a birthday party in the morning and then I attended an event at church. This floral dress met the garden event theme perfectly!

Again I wore the Chloe Marcie shoulder bag, and went a little matchy-matchy with the tan sandals. As in the first outfit, they don't match the bag exactly, but I like the different shades of brown together with the red printed dress.


Last worn: floral earrings, Tiffany heart necklace, Orange Sherbet floral maxi dress, braided sandals, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Orange Sherbet floral maxi dress worn 2 ways, braided sandals and skirt, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and jeans.

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
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis and Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
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.

Other ways to wear: geometric print maxi dress at the beach, braided sandals and skirt, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
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.


Last worn: navy tiered dress, mint silicone necklace, Kmart slides, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote (above).

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.
