Maxi Skirts and Denim Jackets

Blue tees, denim jackets and maxi skirts for Brisbane winter days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in blu marine
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful with this blue tee, ochre orange maxi skirt, and more blue with the denim jacket and deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. I really liked the accessories with this outfit, the twist hoop earrings go so nicely with the mixed metal pendant necklace.

It was a little chilly for the school run so this denim jacket was a great layer over this maxi skirt and tee outfit. I wear blue with this maxi skirt often, I really like the colour combination! And it was nice and comfortable for working from home, and doing the school run. I picked up some of my sons friends from school the afternoon for a playdate too.


Last worn: denim jacket, silver earrings, blue tee, mixed metal necklace, ochre maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: no label cream and brown floral print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Another maxi skirt, blue tee and denim jacket outfit for another day of working from home. As well as also doing the school run, I took the kids to sports in the evening. I did kind of wish I'd worn a scarf with this as well in the evening! The denim jacket is great and usually keeps me warm, but it was quite a chilly night.

This was perfect for during the day though, my oldest had a special excursion so I had to drop him off for that in the morning. He had such a good day and did really well in the presentation in the afternoon - I'm proud of him! I needed a bag for all my essentials plus my camera for taking photos at his presentation, so I went with this purple Chloe Paraty. Like the orange maxi skirt, I like purple and blue together so I often wear this with blue. It's the first time I've worn it with this brown floral print maxi skirt and I really liked the deep purple with the brown and cream. I'm definitely going to have to wear them together again.

I skipped a necklace and just wore a statement pair of earrings with this outfit as I felt the subtle sparkle on the tee was enough interest that I didn't need to add a necklace. It never shows up too well in photos though!


Last worn: gold leaf earrings, moto denim jacket, navy sparkle tee, brown floral print maxi skirt, white Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket and dress, navy sparkle tee and jeans, brown floral print maxi skirt and grey tee, white Converse and shorts, Chloe purple Paraty bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Maxi Skirts, Grey Tees and Denim Jackets

Maxi skirts, grey tees and denim jackets with my Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag for some work from home days with the school run and a few errands.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I got this red printed maxi skirt out! An opshop find from years ago, I hit 30 wears with it pretty quickly and since then often pass it up in favour of those I haven't gotten so many wears with. It was definitely overdue another wear, and good to get it out to ass some colour to this dark grey tee.

It was nice and comfortable for working from home too, and the statement necklace I felt dressed up the grey tee a little for video calls. I added the denim jacket for the morning dog walk, and also needed it for the school run. I had to pick my son up early from school to take him to an appointment in the city. The Converse were good for all that driving, and my Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag fits the essentials plus my latest small library read for sitting in the waiting room.


Last worn: denim jacket, wooden statement necklace, grey tee, red printed maxi skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and orange skirt, grey tee and shorts, red printed maxi skirt worn 30 ways, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

Another grey tee and maxi skirt outfit for working from home, with the same denim jacket and Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag. Did swap out my black Converse for some pink ones though for the school run and a quick errand in the afternoon.

When I put this outfit together I felt it was a bit pink. With the pink Converse, the pink floral print in the skirt, and the pink back panel on this tee, I went with a blue beaded necklace to try bring some blue into this outfit. It's so funny as looking at the photos I definitely feel it's more a blue than a pink outfit! The pink panel on the back of the tee is hidden, but even so I thought a pink bag with this would have been too much so I went with the blue 5-zip again. It's funny sometimes how different outfits seem when I'm wearing them compared to the photographs I take of them! Either way, I liked this outfit, I was just surprised I remembered it being so pink heavy when it's clearly not in the photo!


Last worn: denim jacket (above), grey tee, blue beaded necklace, floral print maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and plain skirt, grey tee and shorts, floral print maxi skirt and winter knit, pink Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and dress.

Maxi Skirts, Denim Jackets and Chloe Bags

Two plain tee and maxi skirt outfits, topped with denim jackets and accessorised with Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper 
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful for working from home, with sports for the kids in the evenings. I like wearing maxi skirts as it is an extra cover on my legs from the inevitable mossie attack - no matter how much bug spray I cover myself in, ha!

This copper toned tee is really autumnal with the ochre orange maxi skirt. I like wearing this skirt with rust and red and burgundy shades, so I really loved this outfit. Especially with the brown Converse, gold statement necklace and the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag. It all felt perfect for a cooler autumn day.

Surprisingly it's the first time I've shared this denim jacket on the blog, a Christmas gift from the annual pre-Christmas opshopping day. It's a nice relaxed fit and will be perfect for layering under when the winter weather arrives here shortly in Brisbane.


Last worn: clay earrings, copper tee, circle necklace, ochre maxi skirt, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the denim jacket as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: copper tee and skirt, ochre maxi skirt and knit, brown Converse and animal print, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a mixed day, with the Anzac parade and ceremony in the morning (my boys were marching in the parade) and then a playdate for my son in the afternoon. Despite the rainy weather it wasn't too cold so I went for this maxi skirt to be neither over or underdressed for either occasion. I like the tie dye print on the skirt, although it's the first time I've worn this grey tee with it! I like pairing it with greys and neutrals so it was nice to give this combination a try.

I went with my Chloe Marcie bag to store all our water bottles plus the essentials, and then I chose this rose gold necklace. It's definitely not the true gold shade of the hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, but I like pairing different metals together, and thought this was a good accessory pair.


Last worn: stud earrings, denim jacket, rose gold necklace, grey tee, tie dye maxi skirt, blue Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, grey tee and jeans, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, blue Converse and shorts, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

Long Skirts, Blazers and Tanks With Converse and Silver Mini MAC

Longer skirts for the office. Both of these outfits are the same basic outfit formula, with tanks, blazers, Converse and then a long skirt. I like easily repeatable outfit formulas, especially for office days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Top: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

This was a cooler morning so I definitely needed an extra layer over this tank with my bare shoulders for the morning commute. This grey jersey blazer was perfect, adds a little more formality to the green broderie midi skirt and the black linen tank. It also kept me warm travelling to and from work, and when it got a little too cold in the office. I did have to pop out for a quick errand before lunch, and left my blazer behind as the sun came out and it was a beautifully warm day!

Went very matchy-matchy with the accessories. The white Converse were a good neutral, but the silver circle stud earrings and the silver circle necklace I couldn't resist matching together. And then of course a silver bag, this Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC, was the obvious choice.

Last worn: Mimco stud earrings, circle necklace, grey jersey blazer, black linen blend tank, green broderie midi skirt, white leather Converse, silver mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and dress, black linen blend tank and jeans, green broderie midi skirt and tee, white leather Converse and shorts, silver mini MAC bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: silver mini MAC in third trimester..

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Zara black blazer
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings (new purchase)
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace (new purchase)
Tank: thrifted no label terrazzo print white tank
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Another very similar outfit, and all the matchy-matchy again! I thrifted this pretty terrazzo print tank, along with the hammered silver circle earrings and the hammered silver statement necklace. Don't they make such a good accessory pair? Once again with all that silver I wore my Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag. Even the Converse matched this time, I couldn't resist wearing these pink Converse mum got me recently as they match the pink parts in the printed tank so nicely. With the black blazer and black maxi skirt being an easy match too I really liked this outfit. Sometimes I just want to match all the things!

The only downside of this outfit was that the earrings kept falling out - luckily I didn't loose them, but it was a bit frustrating. I ended up bending the posts to try keep them in place better halfway through the day, and that seemed to work.


Last worn: black blazer, black maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace, earrings and tank as they are a recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and denim skirt, black maxi skirt and leather jacket, pink Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black blazer in third trimester, silver mini MAC bag in second trimester.

Grey Tees and Black and White Printed Maxi Skirts

Two different grey tee outfits, both with black and white maxi skirts. The first outfit is a little more colourful than the second outfit as I added some pink. Pink always looks good with neutrals, in any shade.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart pink multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus pink and gold bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

When I put on this grey tee with the pink back panel I thought it would add a nice touch of colour to this black and white vertical striped maxi skirt. But then I decided the outfit needed a little more pink and started adding pink accessories. The pink Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and the pink bracelet stack and the pink beaded necklace don't match the bright pink panel on the tee at all, but I actually liked all the different shades with this. Neutrals like grey and black and white are a nice excuse to try add some differently coloured accessories, and it's nice there were all in the pink family.

Wore this for a quiet day, with the school run and working from home.

Last worn: grey tee with pink panel, pink beaded necklace, bracelet stack, vertical stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wear: grey tee with pink panel and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee with pink panel in third trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Another grey tee and black and white maxi skirt outfit. This grey tee is a bit darker, and with the black and white maxi skirt again I decided to add a little colour. This darker geometric beaded necklace seemed like a nice touch of colour with all the neutrals. I liked the longer sleeves on this tee to keep me warm in the colder aircon too.

Comfortable Converse sneakers were perfect with this and I liked the matchy-matchy with the black and white skirt. My son had surgery and an overnight stay in the hospital. I had an overnight bag packed, but the big Louis Vuitton Neverfull was perfect for a few things to entertain him and myself in the wait before surgery for him and the during surgery wait for me.

I wore this a couple weeks ago, he's at home now and healing well.


Last worn: grey tunic tee, geometric beaded necklace, black and white maxi skirt, black Converse, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

Other ways to wear: grey tunic tee and jeans, black and white maxi skirt with pink, black Converse and shorts, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

Note: we are in the direct path of Cyclone Alfred, this is a pre-scheduled post. We had time to prepare our home the best we could, and I have a few posts scheduled as I don't know what the impact will have been as I type this.

Grey Skirt Outfits With Purple

Brightening up some grey skirt outfits by adding a little bit of purple.

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable and practical outfit for my son's surgery. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag fits everything with both needed to keep us happy and distracted with all the waiting around, it's such a good tote bag.

Kept my outfit simple with this little beaded necklace I made, good for my son to fidget with if needed. And I was cosy and comfortable in the grey pinstripe jersey maxi skirt, and sneakers. I thought the purple tee was a nice way to add some colour and lightness to the outfit that would have been a bit too neutral without the block colour tee.


Last worn: silver earrings, purple tee, beaded necklace, grey pinstripe maxi skirt, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: purple tee and jeans, grey pinstripe maxi skirt and knit, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Just like the outfit above, this felt a bit plain and neutral with the grey denim skirt, and the grey tee. I added a little more colour with purple again, although lighter shades this time. I really liked the resulting outfit though! The purple floral cover up is something I've worn with the lilac Polene Numero neuf mini bag before, I really like the pairing! And I added another beaded necklace, this one was an opshop find.

I had a couple of errands to run and a few things to donate to the opshop that I hadn't managed to drop off before Christmas. of course I had a bit of a browse as well, and ended up with a few more books to replace the ones the kids had grown out of that I'd just donated!


Last worn: earrings (above), floral cover up, grey tee, beaded necklace, Havaianas, grey Nobody Denim skirt, Polene Numero neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and shorts, grey tee and midi skirt, grey Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, Polene Numero neuf mini bag and dress.

Blue, Red and Yellow Maxi Skirt Outfits

Two different maxi skirt outfits, both colourful with blue, yellow and red for a couple of quiet days in the school holidays.

What I wore:

Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in blu marine
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies blue and natural wooden bead bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

I got this blue tee from mum for Christmas and knew it would be perfect with this red tiered maxi skirt I thrifted last year. I really like blue and red together! I added a little extra colour with the yellow mini 5 zip bag. It's a fun pop with the red.

The necklace is one I made from some old thread I had. I had thrifted a faux suede threaded beaded necklace and it kept snapping, our climate is not great for faux leather as the humidity makes it disintegrate. So I rebuilt the necklace on thread as best as I could, but had these beads left over. Decided to make them into a little necklace of their own. I liked the simplicity of this resulting necklace.

Very colourful for a quiet day, just a couple of errands to run and an appointment in the afternoon.


Last worn: red tiered maxi skirt, bracelet stack, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag. First time I've worn the blue tee as it was a Christmas present and first time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it.

Other ways to wear: red tiered maxi skirt and denim jacket, tan slides and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag and shorts.

---

What I wore:

Earring: candy cane hoop earrings
Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace
Tank: Jeanswest 'Hannah' print tank in paradise pink multi
Skirt: thrifted navy viscose drawstring no label maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

This was a much hotter and more humid day than the one above, so I went with this super lightweight viscose maxi skirt. Like the maxi skirt above, it's an opshop find, and with the light viscose and the side slits it's perfect on a hot day. Again I added the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag, and went a little matchy-matchy with the chartreuse necklace. I think the pieces are far enough apart in my outfit that you don't notice they aren't a perfect match as much, and I enjoyed the two pieces together last time I paired them. I wore my coral brushstroke stripe tank, as it's also a nice light material.

We had a couple of errands to run and an event at the library for the kids. It was nice to spend some time in the aircon at the shops and at the library. We have attended a lot of library events over the school holidays, they had some really fun things on that the kids enjoyed as much as this session. Again I just wore these simple slides, it was too hot for closed in shoes.


Last worn: candy cane earrings, chartreuse necklace, brushstroke stripe tank, navy maxi skirt, tan slides (above), Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: brushstroke stripe tank and pencil skirt, navy maxi skirt and leopard print, tan slides and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: brushstroke stripe tank in second trimester.

Blue Tops, Printed Maxi Skirts and Pink Bags

For a couple of busy days before Christmas with the school run and working from home, I wore blue tops and printed maxi skirts with little pink Rebecca Minkoff bags.

What I wore:

Earrings: Avocado Santa hat earrings
Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Cami: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

This was what I wore on my last day at work for the year, back in December. As it was such a warm day I went with this chambray cami and light floral print maxi skirt. I like the slits up the side for catching the breeze on hot days like this was. It was a very busy day trying to wrap everything up for the last working day of the year, but I still had a little time to squeeze in an appointment before school pick up.

I didn't need to carry much so I picked this little pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag to carry the essentials. I really liked the redyed pink shade with the pink flowers in the floral print maxi skirt.


Last worn: avocado earrings, chambray cami, wooden necklace, floral maxi skirt, Havaianas, redyed mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: chambray cami and jeans, floral maxi skirt with purple, redyed mini MAC bag and dress.

What I wore:

Earrings: mini glitter gingerbread earrings
Tee: teal Strange Planet 'wildly unprepared for the day' graphic tee
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

This was another busy day working from home and trying to fit everything in, although not as busy as the day above as it wasn't my last day at work for the year. I just had less time to work as I had a couple of hours off in the afternoon to see my son perform, before it was off to sports in the evening. When I was getting dressed that morning I knew that my "Wildly unprepared for the day" graphic tee would be the perfect thing to wear. I went with a maxi skirt again, they are so good in the summer weather, and I like this vertical striped one as it has pockets.

I added a pink bag as I was inspired by the pink backpack in the graphic print, although maybe I should have went for a deeper pink one to match a little better. The studded MAB was a good sized bag for carrying everything I needed for the day though, it fits all my essentials plus easily held my camera as well for my son's performance.


Last worn: mini gingerbread earrings, Strange Planet graphic tee, vertical stripe maxi skirt, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: Strange Planet graphic tee and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, strappy sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and jeans.

Casual Christmas Red & Green Maxi Skirt Outfits

I had a lot of fun wearing these outfits! Red and green skirts with printed tees for some Christmas events before the big day. Hope you are having a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with your loved ones.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Merry Christmas deer antler tee
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka resin bangles in red and teal
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Had to break out this Christmas tee again that mum made me, for our annual family Christmas trip to the Movie World White Christmas evening event. This year we surprised the boys by going down earlier in the day, before the evening event started, so we had some extra time at the theme park.

I thought the cotton tiered maxi skirt would keep me cool and comfortable, as it was such a humid day. We kept cool by drinking lots of water, and you got a good breeze on the rollercoasters!

To make my outfit a little more Christmas-like I added the resin bangle sets, and just wore my little black Mimco bag for my camera and essentials. I carried a big reusable tote bag for our water bottles, which were refilled frequently.

The only thing I regretted about this outfit was the glitter gingerbread earrings. Perfectly on-theme for the evening's event, but not the best choice when they were flying around in my face on all the rollercoasters, ha!


Last worn: gingerbread earrings, Tiffany necklace, cream resin bracelet stack, red and green resin bracelets, reindeer tee, tiered maxi skirt, white leather Converse, Mimco crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: reindeer tee and shorts, tiered maxi skirt in winter, white leather Converse, Mimco crossbody bag and blazer.

What I wore:

Earrings: DIY green clay Christmas tree earrings
Tee: Jeanswest Kaylin star foil grey tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

I wasn't too sure this outfit would work but I was eager to give it a try! I really like this green broderie skirt around Christmas time, although it is something I wear other times of the year too, it gets a work out in December! Last time I wore this skirt with a printed top I wasn't too happy with the final result, but I liked the subtle gold foil star print on this tee and thought it wasn't too busy with the broderie fabric of the skirt, so I was happy to wear it.

We had a couple of errands to run in the morning, and then in the afternoon and evening we went to the local carol service. I added a little extra festive colour with the red Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag, and I wore my clay Christmas tree earrings even though they didn't match the green of the skirt exactly. Thankfully the storm held off so we got to enjoy the carols and the closing fireworks before the rain arrived on our drive home.


Last worn: Christmas tree earrings, star foil print tee, broderie skirt, rose gold sandals, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: star foil print tee with black, broderie skirt and blazer, rose gold sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.
