Kmart Printed Midi Dresses With Sneakers and Chloe Marcie Bag

Spring kid's birthday parties in the park meant sticking to an easy outfit formula. Floral print midi dresses with sneakers for comfort, my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag for water bottles and some statement earrings to feel a little dressed up!

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Unsure what kind of weather the day had in store and having to ferry the kids between two different birthday parties in one day meant being prepared for anything! I went with this long sleeved black floral print midi dress as it's nice and light and provided good sun coverage. I appreciated the long sleeves when it started to get cooler in the afternoon too, just before the rain hit. Thankfully the rain waited until after the party was over!

Had a little bit of driving to do so these Adidas Stan Smith were nice comfortable sneakers - and I wasn't the only mum there rocking a dress and sneaker combo. I thought these pink statement earrings were a nice match with the pink florals in the dress, and a good way to make it look like I put in a little effort for the parties!

The Chloe Marcie shoulder bag is perfect for all the essentials plus the kids water bottles - which are of course must-haves at park parties!


Last worn: Kmart floral print black midi dress, pink statement earrings, Tiffany necklace, Stan Smith sneakers, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart floral print black midi dress with tan belt, Stan Smith sneakers and jeans, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and blazer.

Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag Review

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Again I went with matchy-matchy earrings! these teal tassel ones go so nicely with the teal background of this floral print midi dress. I considered adding a denim jacket to this but decided not to as it was quite a humid day. At the birthday party in the afternoon though, again just like the weekend before where I wore the dress above, it got quite cloudy and windy. I really wished I'd brought a jacket along!

I felt that I hadn't worn these Kmart chunky sneakers in while so they were overdue a wear - and a nice match for the white floral print on the midi dress. The little brown tab on the back is not quite a match for the Chloe Marcie bag in nut brown, but again I went with this bag because I needed something to store all our water bottles.


Last worn: teal floral midi dress, teal tassel earrings, Tiffany necklace, chunky sneakers, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: teal floral midi dress and ankle boots, chunky sneakers and shorts, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and maxi skirt.

How You Can Wear It

Floral dresses are an obvious choice for spring, and long sleeved ones are perfect for those days when the weather isn't as warm as you'd like! Sneakers make a cute combination with a midi dress too.

Kmart Tiered Midi Dresses, Denim Jackets and Black Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm wearing my Kmart tiered midi dresses again! Accessorised with denim jackets and black bags for some days out in the spring school holidays a couple of weeks ago. I really love these dresses! After noticing that Kmart had brought it out in coral recently, my mum bought it for me so now I have three of these gorgeous dresses in my wardrobe.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was such an overcast day - my tote was overstuffed with snacks, water bottles, and an umbrella. Instead of attending the last day of school term the school holidays started early as I took my son and his friend on an outing to go see the animals. It was a lot of fun, especially because the rain stayed away for most of the day. It did rain a little driving there, but by the afternoon it had brightened up considerably, and I even took my denim jacket off.

Thought the white denim jacket went well with the comfortable Adidas superstar sneakers, for all that walking around and for the long drive there and back. It was a lot of fun though, and this dress was the perfect easy light outfit to wear as despite it being a cloudy day, it wasn't cold.

With the black Rebecca Minkoff tote bag with this outfit I went with a black necklace and black bracelets for a bit of matchy-matchy.


Last worn: white denim jacket, beaded necklace, amber tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and jeans, amber tiered midi dress worn two ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and blue dress, Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote bag and jeans.

Bags With Sentimental Value Tag Video:

What I wore:

Hat: Big W bow detail sunhat

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Amerii medium sling rattan bag in black (c/o)

Why I wore it:

This was a much sunnier day! Our school holiday plans had been a bit upended, but we still managed to make it to the beach thankfully. It was a cooler morning so I added the denim jacket over this fuchsia tiered midi dress, but definitely didn't need it by the time we got to the beach - it felt more like summer than spring, so nice after a few rainy days!

I only wore my little straw circle crossbody bag for my car keys, phone and wallet, as I had a big tote with beach toys for the kids as well as towels and a change of clothes. It was perfect as when the tide went out I had quite a walk from our towel on the sand to where the boys were playing, and it was good having everything important on me. It was supposed to rain later in the afternoon but we luckily avoided that, and just got to enjoy the sunshine and playing at the beach.


Last worn: denim jacket, sun hat, Tiffany heart necklace, fuchsia pink tiered dress, Havaianas, straw circle bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, sun hat and shorts, fuchsia pink tiered dress and clutch, straw circle bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, sun hat in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Tiered midi dresses are perfect for spring! For cooler days or cold mornings or evenings, a denim jacket is a great layer. And you can't go wrong accessorising with a classic black bag.

Tiered Kmart Dresses with Scarves, Sneakers And Black Tote Bag

I'm finding these Kmart tiered midi dresses so perfect as the weather starts to warm up in Brisbane! Today I'm sharing two of the pink ones I have in my wardrobe, layered up with cosy scarves and comfortable sneakers for a fun weekend.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl lush forest scarf
Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a really sunny but windy day - I did wonder a few times if I should have added a denim jacket to this outfit, but with all the walking around we did I think I would have been too warm. I ended up taking off my scarf to give to my son to wear when he complained he was cold as it got cloudy in the afternoon and he hadn't wanted to wear a jacket. It was perfect weather for kite flying at the Brisbane kite festival though!

Despite the different pastel purple shade of the earrings and the deeper purple in the print on the scarf, I really liked these accessories together! The purple looks great with the fuchsia dress, and this was a nice and colourful outfit for a fun day out at the festival. We bumped into a few friends there too, so many people were there! The boys saw their friends from school and one of my colleagues was there with their family as well, was such a fun day. And of course, lots of kite flying fun! The Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag was perfect for carrying water bottles for everyone, although I did also have the big reusable tote with a blanket in it for the small amount of time we spent sitting down on the grass.


Last worn: purple print scarf, purple earrings, bracelet stack, fuchsia tiered dress, Adidas superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: purple print scarf and cobalt knit, fuchsia tiered dress and denim jacket, Adidas superstar sneakers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and chambray dress.

Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote Review and What's In My Bag:

---

What I wore:

Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a slightly less fun day for the kids - they both had the dentist! It was a much warmer day than the day above, so I did regret having such a cosy scarf when we went for a little opshop after the dentist. I'd planned to let the kids pick out a couple of books for being so well behaved at the dentist, but strangely there were no kids books - I think the opshop was in the process of moving things around, and we just couldn't find them with all the Saturday shopping crowd.

Scarf did double up well as a comfort blanket for my not too sure of the dentist son though, to help him be brave in the dentist chair!

Afterward we headed out to Circonomy to have a look for some new office furniture - I've been working from home occasionally before 2020 (since I went back to the office after maternity leave for my now 8 year old son!) and the chair I had at home was starting to show its age. Managed to pick up a super comfortable ergonomic chair for just $9 which impressed my husband so much he got one too, to replace the chair he uses for working from home. Circonomy has a lot of unsold or donated office supplies, and even the kids ended up walking away with some notebooks they could draw in. Was good to have such success there after no luck in the opshop!


Last worn: heart print scarf, bracelet stack, coral tiered dress, Stan Smith sneakers, black tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: heart print scarf and stripes, coral tiered dress, Stan Smith sneakers and jeans, black tote bag and midi skirt.

How You Can Wear It:

Kmart is onto a winner with these tiered maxi dresses - they keep bringing them out in more colours season after season! On a cooler day they layer beautifully with printed scarves, and you can't go wrong with comfortable sneakers and a black tote bag.

Kmart Dresses, Black Ankle Boots and Blue Balenciaga Day Bag

Layering up a couple of Kmart midi dresses with jackets and my trusty black ankle boots, for two different days back in winter.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This was such a busy day! My son had an appointment in the city in the morning and I was stressing a little about it as we were running late. Thankfully despite the heavy traffic on the way into the city, it wasn't too bad on the way out. After dropping him off at school and racing back home I was only a little late to the first of my back to back meetings for the day while working from home. My colleague had kindly moved the start time a little to accommodate me too which was very helpful.

Felt that this dress was overdue another wear, and I really wanted to try the storm blue of the Balenciaga day bag with the teal of the dress. Knowing it would be cold that morning but not sure what scarf would work with the blue and teal, I went with a cosy leather jacket. I haven't worn my leather jackets much this winter, they are usually a staple, but with our very cold early morning start I was grateful for this jacket. I thought it matched the black ankle boots nicely too.


Last worn: black leather jacket, Tiffany necklace, teal floral print midi dress, black ankle boots, Balenciaga tempete day bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and maxi skirt, teal floral print midi dress worn 2 ways, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Balenciaga tempete day bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester, Balenciaga tempete day bag in third trimester.

What's In My Bag: Balenciaga Tempete Day

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Mickey Mouse printed scarf from Disneyland Paris
Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This was a much more relaxed day! I wore a similar outfit, another Kmart midi dress with the same black ankle boots and my Balenciaga day bag again. I chose this bag again as not only do I love pink and blue together, but it's very roomy and I had space for mine and the kids water bottles in it. Only in our rush to get out the door on time to make it to a birthday party, I'd left the kids water bottles behind! Thankfully there was plenty for them to drink at the party, and they had a great time running around playing and being entertained while I sat and chatted to my friends.

I felt that this Mickey Mouse scarf was overdue another wear as it hasn't been worn in a long time! Although it has little red Mickeys on it I thought they were small enough it worked with this bright fuchsia dress, especially when paired with the blue denim jacket and blue Balenciaga day bag. I actually ended up taking the denim jacket off, it was so nice sitting the sun watching the kids play on the playground equipment.


Last worn: denim jacket, pink teardrop earrings, Mickey Mouse scarf, pink tiered midi dress, black ankle boots (above), Balenciaga tempete day bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Mickey Mouse scarf with stripes, pink tiered midi dress and gold clutch, black ankle boots worn 30 way, Balenciaga tempete day bag and white blouse.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester, Balenciaga tempete day bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Ankle boots and a jacket are an easy way to make a midi dress work for a warmer day near the end of winter - and of course you can add a scarf too for a little extra colour or print, and cosiness!

Pink Kmart Dresses, Blue Scarves and Denim Jackets With Chloe Marcie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing another great outfit formula! Pretty pink Kmart dresses, blue scarves, denim jackets, sneakers and my awesome neutral Chloe Marcie bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a busy day! While it was cold I decided to go bare legged as my mum and sister and I had a fun day out of shopping planned. Quickly realised when my son woke up though that he wasn't quite right, so it was a quick scrabble to find him a doctor and get him some medicine. Luckily there was a local doctor open with availability, and we could leave him to rest at home with hubby and his brother while we went out to shop. I didn't have anything planned to buy, was just looking forward to catching up with my mum and sister and having lunch, but it turned into a really productive shopping day and I started buying a few Christmas presents. We took much longer at the shops than expected, as we hadn't been planning to buy a lot, but it was nice having that time together, especially after the stressful morning. Some of the shops were very warm, so I was glad I'd gone bare legged, and I even took my denim jacket off not long after arriving at the shopping centre. The heart print scarf kept me cosy enough over the linen dress.

It's not the first time I've layered this Kmart linen blend dress up for winter, and once again I stuck to that familiar outfit formula like I'd worn before, with the scarf and denim jacket. Instead of ankle boots like I wore previously, I went with my Adidas Superstar sneakers, such a comfortable shoe for all the walking we did.


Last worn: white denim jacket, heart studs, heart print scarf, pink linen dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and maxi skirt, heart print scarf and stripes, pink linen dress and kimono, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Chloe Marcie bag and blazer.

Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag: Review and Contents

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was another fun day! I'm even wearing a couple of pieces that my mum bought for me on our day out shopping above. I just had to wear my new little resin earrings right away, I thought they went nicely with the coral pink Kmart tiered dress, even though they are a little hard to see because of my hair. I already have this tiered Kmart midi dress in fuchsia pink and in orange, but I loved this coral colour! As it was on sale Mum offered to get it for me along with the pink resin earrings, and another cute purple pair too.

The sneakers are a Kmart pair too, ones I hadn't worn in a while so they were due another wearing!

I layered the dress up a bit for a cold morning. I had the school run, a vet appointment for Cooper, and then in the afternoon I took advantage of having the day off to spend a couple hours at school watching the kids sports event. They did really well, very proud of them! It was such a warm day that I ended up taking the denim jacket off, although when we spent some time at the playground in the afternoon with my Mum I had pulled the jacket back on. It got cold quickly, even with this cosy wool blend Louis Vuitton scarf.

Last worn: moto denim jacket, blue Louis Vuitton shawl, Stan Smith sneakers, Chloe Marcie bag (above). First time I've worn the earrings and midi dress as they were a recent gift from my mum.

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket in double denim outfit, blue Louis Vuitton shawl and denim jacket, Stan Smith sneakers and jeans, Chloe Marcie bag and blue dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Pink and blue are a great combination together - no matter what shade of blue and pink! You can add to a pink dress with a blue denim jacket, or even just a blue scarf to try out the colour combination.

Tiered Midi Dresses With Denim Jackets And Scarves | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two incredibly similar outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, both worn in the last weeks of the school term back in June, before the winter holidays. It had been a tough few weeks at the end of term and I wanted to be warm, comfortable, and try to use some colour to boost my mood a bit. These tiered Kmart midi dresses are perfect for that, they are so bright and cheerful and layer well with scarves and denim jackets.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and pink cheetah print scarf
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Another sneaky weekend outfit making it into the Weekday Wear Link Up! I've shared before that my son has taken an interest in bugs (particularly mantises) recently, and there was a "Bug Day Out" event up on the Sunshine Coast that I knew he would love. It was a bit of a drive and it had been a long week, but I was excited for him to spend some time there so we had a mini road trip. Wore my Converse and my knee brace fit perfectly under this tiered midi dress, for all the driving. Took quite a while to get there due to traffic, but was so worth it. We had a great time talking to all the entomologists, having lunch, a little bit of bug-related shopping, and we even had the chance to adopt a little stick insect on the day which the boys were very excited about!

I didn't need my denim jacket in the car but appreciated having it in the afternoon when it got a bit chilly - the scarf alone wasn't enough with the dress. I really like the leopard print scarf with the fuchsia pink of the dress, even though the pink in the scarf is more of a magenta shade I thought they worked well together.

We had a big reusable Woolies tote in the car with snacks and books for the long ride (over 2 hours of driving!) but this black tote bag was perfect for our water bottles and purchases when we got to the event. Such a nice day out, and I'm pleased I layered up so I could adjust the layers through the day.


Last worn: moto denim jacket, leopard print scarf, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket and striped dress, leopard print scarf and purple cardigan, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress and gold clutch, Converse and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote Review:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy diamond print scarf
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a fake it till you make it outfit! I needed a big bold burst of colour for two reasons: I wasn't feeling the best (not Covid) and my sons had their sports day at school so I had to be bright and noticeable from the side lines. Like the first outfit, I went with the tiered midi dress, printed scarf and denim jacket combo. Standing on the side lines at the sports day though I ended up taking the denim jacket off - it was such a warm and sunny day sitting there on the oval!

Again like the outfit above, the print in the scarf doesn't match the colour in the dress, but I thought the multi coloured diamond print was nice with the dark denim jacket, and the navy looks so good with the orange. Again comfortable sneakers, more for standing around, as I didn't have to do a lot of driving. Thankfully my friend brought a rug for us to sit down on as well, it was nice getting out and sitting relaxing in the sun cheering on the kids even though I wasn't feeling great.

Wore the Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag again - it fit my water bottle and my camera as well as all my essentials for the day nicely.


Last worn: denim jacket, amber tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote (above). First time I've worn the diamond scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, amber tiered midi dress worn two ways, Adidas Superstar and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and midi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Midi dresses can work in winter too, with a pair of comfy sneakers, a big cosy scarf and a denim jacket.

Fuchsia Kmart Dresses and Balenciaga Bags

Two pretty pink dresses! I love this bright bold fuchsia pink Kmart uses in their dresses, it's such a fun colour to wear. For extra bold outfits, I added some bright accessories too.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH

Why I wore it:

Wore this to celebrate Easter with the family. I'm a bit behind with blogging outfits! We headed down the coast for an Easter lunch and a high speed egg hunt. The kids get faster every year, and they had been asking about when the next Easter egg hunt would be since January! They were very excited and pleased with their haul.

My parents had also been doing a bit of spring cleaning, finally opening up some boxes that hadn't been touched since we moved into that house almost 20 years ago! After lunch we started looking through some. It was an incredible time capsule, lots of fun memories and we all ended up going home with a few boxes of things! Tamagotchi (which my kids are loving playing with!), Furby, things from primary school, Gameboy games, it was a treasure trove!

While this fuchsia tiered midi dress is bold enough on it's own I wanted to add a little more colour to it - this mango Balenciaga envelope clutch is such a cheerful colour and I was pleased by how much I liked the two together when I tried it! I wore my Balenciaga sandals too, although they don't match the pink of the dress the mini rose gold hardware matches the hardware on the envelope clutch nicely.

Last worn: dangly earrings, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress, gold charm necklace, Balenciaga sandals, Balenciaga mangue envelope clutch.

Other ways to wear: fuchsia pink tiered midi dress and pink bag, Balenciaga sandals and shorts, Balenciaga mangue envelope clutch and printed jeans.

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

Favourite Balenciaga Bag In My Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Shoes: Purple high top Converse look-a-likes
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Another Kmart fuchsia dress that I love - this one was a very lucky opshop find, just $1! I added some colourful accessories to this dress too, with the blue wooden beaded necklace and turquoise Balenciaga First bag. Blue and pink are so good together, in any combination of shades. For something a little different I added a third colour in with these purple high top sneakers as well that I scored after my sister did a wardrobe clear out a while back.

Had a fun weekend playdate planned with some friends, although the kids were a little upset when one of their friends couldn't come along as he had virus symptoms. He had a negative test but as he wasn't feeling great and coughing he stayed home while we promised to organise another playdate in future. It was nice the playdate could continue with the other boys though, they had a fun time bouncing around on the trampoline, playing laser tag in the back yard and of course building amazing Lego creations. We'd been worried about it raining so that's why I hosted at my house, but it ended up being a really nice day and such a warm morning.


Last worn: Kmart linen blend dress, blue wooden bead necklace, purple high tops, Balenciaga first bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart linen blend dress and kimono, purple high tops and stripes, Balenciaga first bag and culottes.

How You Can Wear It:

Fuchsia is a fun bold colour to wear, but it doesn't mean you have to pair it with neutral accessories! Try complimentary or contrasting shoes or bags to create an even more colourful outfit.
