Printed Skirts and Band Tees With Converse and Edie Bag

Getting some of my band tees out again, and pairing them with printed skirts and Converse back at the end of summer. The Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag in Luna blue was a great accessory with both outfits, it's a shade that goes with so many other blues!

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Top: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a relaxing weekend day. We had a couple of errands to run, a trip to the library, and then some time at the bike track with the kids. I was inspired by the model on the Ghanda site wearing the red version of this skirt with a band tee and Converse to wear this outfit with my Kisschasy band tee. I wasn't too sure it worked - still getting used to this skirt! I think if I had tucked in the tee like I did the first time I wore this skirt with a tee, I would have liked this outfit just a little more. This skirt is a fun challenge to have in my wardrobe, encouraging me to try new things!

With the blue tee, blue bag and blue Converse I added a little more blue with this turquoise and silver bracelet stack I got for Christmas. All shades go so nicely with the green of this skirt, I really like blue and green together!


Last worn: Kisschasy cassette tape tee, Tiffany diamond necklace, green daisy print midi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: Kisschasy cassette tape tee and striped skirt, green daisy print midi skirt and white tee, blue Converse and navy printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and denim skirt.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

What I wore:

Tee: The Getaway Plan yellow paint splatter band tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Another colourful outfit! Nice and comfortable for what was supposed to be a quiet day working from home with an appointment in the afternoon. Ended up cancelling my appointment as bad weather was predicted. The weather ended up being really bad when it did arrive, although this day was still sunny. As I'd planned this outfit out before I cancelled my appointment I decided to still wear it anyway. Colourful for the school run, but then not really seen for the rest of the day as I worked from home, ha!

Despite the blues in this tie dye skirt being different from the blues in the first outfit, again I think this Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag really works. I didn't need such a big bag as I only left the house for the school run but it saved the hassle of changing to another smaller bag. Was good to give this yellow band tee another wear too, definitely should wear it more often, yellow is so cheerful!


Last worn: The Getaway Plan yellow band tee, tie dye maxi skirt, blue Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: The Getaway Plan yellow band tee and skirt, tie dye maxi skirt with pink, blue Converse and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and navy dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Printed band tees pair equally well with printed skirts, and of course Converse will always be a staple shoe choice with a band tee!

Printed Pieces With Plain V-Necks And Mini 5-Zip Bags Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing two new printed pieces I thrifted during my February opshop browsing for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. A skirt that's very different from everything else in my wardrobe, and a pair of cute culottes that I already own in another print! Pairing both of them with my little Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Top: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

I really like this skirt! I was browsing the racks at the opshop when I saw the familiar print - my sister has the same skirt. She likes it so much she has it in two colours. I don't have a lot of green in my wardrobe but knowing I could get style advice from my sister with this, and because it was just $1, I took this home with me. I have a few ways I've thought about wearing it, but pairing it with a classic white tee is of course the easiest way, so that's the first way I've worn it here.

With the white tee matching the white daisy print I went even more matchy-matchy with the white Converse too, and the emerald green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag is a close shade to the green of the skirt. Even wore my little gold charm necklace to match the gold hardware on the bag too. A very nice matchy-matchy outfit.

Perfect for a busy Monday! Had the school drop off and pick up for the kids of course, and sports in the evening. Even managed a little walk around my favourite local trail after drop off too, before the rain arrived later that morning. 

I also had my first official Monday at work for the first time in over 7 years! Now both boys are at primary school I've returned to 5 days a week. I went part time when I returned from maternity leave after having my eldest boy, and aside from a couple of times when I've swapped my days around to suit work deadlines, I've never worked a regular Monday since! Still working from home at the moment, with so many cases around.


Last worn: white v-neck tee, gold charm necklace, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag. First time I've worn the skirt as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: white v-neck tee and pink shorts, Converse and navy dress, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and kimono.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip

---

What I wore:

Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Cheating a little here with the Weekday Wear Linkup again and sharing a weekend outfit! But really all my outfits are the same now on weekdays and weekends in a pandemic world.

I was eager to wear these pastel floral print culottes soon after buying them and I thought this lilac tee would be a great piece to try. I smiled when I saw these shorts at the opshop - they were so similar to the navy printed ones I already have, and they are from Kmart too, just from a different year! It was nice to score them for just $1.

Unlike the outfit above, nothing really matches in this outfit, it's got all the colours! But I think it all went together nicely. While the pastel blue shorts do have a little blush in the floral print, it is a very different shade from the pink mini 5-zip bag and the blue is a different shade from the Converse All Star too. I liked this colourful outfit though, nice and comfortable for a hot morning at the playground with the kids. Thankfully my outfit survived when I was playing with the kids, slipped and fell, and scraped up my hand on the ground. The rubber flooring on the playground is soft and bouncy but can still take your skin off when you slide along it! My hand and arm bore the worst of it unfortunately.


Last worn: lilac tee, necklace, blue Converse, pink mini 5-zip bag. First time I've worn the culotte shorts as they were a recent opshop buy.

Other ways to wear: lilac tee and denim skirt, blue Converse and striped dress, pink mini 5-zip bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: lilac tee in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

If you're not sure what to wear with printed pieces like this skirt or culottes, try a plain tee! I have quite a collection of plain but colourful v-neck tees in my wardrobe - you can find one to go with everything!

Asos Maternity Pencil Skirts, New Years Fashion Resolutions, Australian Giveaway!

Have a special Australian only giveaway today, just scroll down!


Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace and Chanel necklace (close-up)
Top: French Connection grey tie detail top (with Asos black singlet underneath)
Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus purple bracelet made by a talented friend and purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


Dug this top out from the back of my wardrobe, it's the first wearing of it on the blog. Be prepared to see a few more "new" items rescued from my wardrobe coming out now, have been spending a fair bit of time trying to clean my wardrobe and found lots of forgotten things tucked in a corner! I wonder just how much is still hiding in there....

I used to wear this top a lot to uni and to work when I worked in a non-public facing office role and wore jeans every day. Over 5 years ago! It's obvious now why it got less wear when I changed jobs and was no longer able to wear denim every day, not a flattering silhouette.

It prompted one lady in the office to come over and ask me if I was pregnant, so not the best outfit to wear when I'm disguising the baby bump at work. Quite comfortable though, and will see me through the next few months easily! :)


Last worn: Ray Ban, tartan pencil skirt, black flats, Balenciaga sapphire city bag. First time I've worn the top on the blog.

Linking up with Style Sessions, Spotlight Weekly Linkup today.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Darcy' embellished top in Winter coral
Skirt: Asos graphic print pencil skirt (maternity version here)
Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


I thought that the sequin embellishments on this top were a nice pairing with the graphic print on the pencil skirt, and really liked the combination. Funny how much smaller the bump looks today because of the different clothes too! :)


Last worn: Ray Ban (see above), sequin detail tank, graphic print pencil skirt, glitter flats, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM.

Striped Maxi Dress, Louis Vuitton Neverfull | Black Top, Asos Graphic Pencil Skirt, Balenciaga Sorbet City Bag

If you haven't seen it already, you might want to watch my latest short video or this post may raise a few questions, haha! Thank you for all of your kind words and congratulations on the reveal post!


Here's what I wore on Sunday:

Sunglasses: gifted Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Dress: Three Dots stripe maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Simple maxi dress for the weekend. Although I've worn this bag and dress together before, repeated the combo again on Sunday as I had to cart some paperwork around. The neverfull is a great bag for that!

This dress highlights the bump a little. I'm really glad I don't have to hide it now that I've spilled the beans! :) We wanted to keep the secret to ourselves for a while, and to have the joy of surprising our families on Christmas day. It was a really wonderful Christmas! Telling all of our friends and family was so exciting, and we were so pleased to share our happiness with them. I also thought it best to tell my boss before I posted anything online about it.


Last worn: Rayban, stripe maxi dress, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton damier Neverfull.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Roie Designs pearl and antique gold long necklace
Top: Cotton On 'Carrie' round neck top in black
Skirt: Asos graphic print pencil skirt - maternity version (new purchase, on sale)
Shoes: Novo Carmina fuschia suede flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


While I've told my boss and the relevant managers know for planning reasons, I haven't shared the news with everyone else at work yet, for a handful of reasons that I won't go into. As a result, I'm minimising the bump as much as possible in my office wear, despite how pleased and happy I am to see it progress! My latest Asos sale purchases were maternity work wear like today's pencil skirt, to help with appropriate office dressing.

I'm also throwing a waterfall cardi on top while I'm in the office, instead of my usual straight line cardi. I think the drape makes a difference. When I did quietly share the news with one of my friends in the office, she confessed that she had noticed one afternoon and just thought I'd gained a little weight, so hopefully everyone who notices anything is thinking that and I can keep things under wraps for a little longer. ;)

For the immediate future, the blog will be a mix of minimising the bump for the office, and dressing as I please on the weekends. Baby will be mentioned from time to time, as it is at the point where the bump influences what I can wear, but I don't intend to turn this blog into anything other than a daily outfit blog. You can always email me or leave a comment if you want to know anything baby-specific! :)


Last worn: Rayban (see above), black top, pink suede flats, Balenciaga sorbet city. First time I've worn the pencil skirt as it's a new purchase.

Back In the Office: Striped Shirt and Pencil Skirt | Asos Pink Singlet and Tartan Checks, Sarah Conners Bag

Here's what I wore for my first day back at work after my break:

Sunglasses: gifted Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Shirt: gifted Target mint stripe shirt
Skirt: Asos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: gifted Corelli metallic and white handbag


Sadly, it was time for me to go back to work on Wednesday. Dressed a little lazily by just wearing a shirt over a pencil skirt, and tied my hair back in a messy bun. This shirt is a Christmas gift from my parents, and it's so soft and comfortable! I'm not normally a shirt person as I hate ironing, but I am more than happy to make an exception for this one :) Will be good for casual weekend wear as well as office wear.

The bag is a recent gift too, one of my friends gave it to me for my birthday.


Last worn: Raybans, grey pencil skirt, studded mouse flats.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Top: Asos satin singlet in pink
Belt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check (new purchase, on sale)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold bracelet set
Bag: Sarah Conners python bag in ebony


Despite trying to reduce my wardrobe this year, I was swayed by the latest Asos sale. 70% off, and an extra 10% off sale with code 'AUJAN10'. Difficult to resist! I bought a top and 2 pencil skirts for work, all practical purchases I easily justified, haha. This pencil skirt is super comfortable, and it got a lot of compliments today. I'm just trying to distract myself from the fact that I just increased the number of skirts I own by another 2 pieces, as I have no intentions of getting rid of any skirts at the moment!


Last worn: pink singlet, patent mouse flats, Sarah Conners python bag. First time I've worn the skirt as it's a recent purchase.

A relaxing Sunday after a busy Saturday with the girls! The warm weather made it the perfect time to wear some of my newly purchased spring accessories together. Although we weren't going out anywhere fancy, I was really looking for a chance to wear this beautiful beaded clutch. I thought it added a nice bit of interest to the outfit.

Ruffle Top, Jacquard Pencil Skirt, Marco Tagliaferri Bag | Asos Lace Dress, LV Bandeau Belt, Balenciaga Sapphire City

Was off sick on Monday, I only got dressed to go walk Cooper. Will spare you the details of that outfit.

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Necklace: gift from DH
Top: Forever 21 sheer black ruffle detail shirt
Skirt: Warehouse blue jacquard pencil skirt (New purchase, using competition prize gift voucher)
Shoes: NineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge bracelet in black and white and Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy from HGBags Online

My new shoes arrived at work Tuesday, so I tried them on to break them in as I walked around the office, as usual. Unfortunately, I realised I was late for an appointment and rushed out the door, forgetting to swap back into the studded flats I'd worn to work. My ankles are so sore now! My own fault for not taking a moment to change out of the stiff shoes. Patent leather too, major ouch! Changed into more comfortable flats as soon as I got back to my desk. The new flats are sadly back in their box for a while I heal. Need to break shoes in slowly, not run across the city in them!


Last worn: ruffle top, studded flats, Marco Tagliaferri bag. First time I've worn the skirt.

Shoes: gifted Novo Carmina fuschia suede flats
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire

Thought I would add a little bit of colour to the black dress with some bright accessories. I wanted to add pink and purple to match the scarf, but it wasn't until I looked at the photos that I realised even my orange nails matched one of the scarf colours!


Last worn: lace midi dress, LV bandeau scarf, pink suede flats, sapphire Balenciaga city.

Nice simple outfit for a Monday today. It was quite warm so I didn't need a jacket, although of course I wrapped up in a scarf at work as the aircon is too cold while I'm still feeling sick.

Have you been buying anything in the bargains online? I created a Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals thread at the Effen Haute forum to list all of the amazing sales on at the moment. I've almost finished my Christmas shopping now, just a couple of people I still have to buy for. Still haven't written my Christmas cards yet though, very behind on that front!

I thought up this outfit last night, but with this skinny belt instead. When I tried it on I thought a thicker belt would be better, but reviewing the pictures afterwards I'm not so sure. I might not try this combo again, not too impressed with the photos. The wind catching the skirt didn't help :P What do you think of the outfit?
