Orange And Navy Outfits With Turquoise Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two different outfits I wore recently for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, for the school run and working from home. Both featuring navy and orange together.

What I wore:

Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! I'm so glad I thrifted this skirt at the opshop for just $1, every time I wear it it makes me smile. Kept it super simple for a busy day with a plain navy v-neck tee and Converse. It's not the first time I've worn this skirt with Converse, it's a really cute combination. Blue and orange work together so well, this navy tee was the perfect topper for the skirt.

The Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in aquamarine was a great pop against the rust skirt, I really liked that combination also. Nice easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and then taking the kids out shopping in the afternoon to get a present for a birthday party the next day.


Last worn: navy tee, beaded necklace, orange ruffle skirt, black Converse, aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: navy tee and olive shorts, orange ruffle skirt and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and printed culottes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in second trimester.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga first bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

A very different shade of orange! This marigold tee is quite bright against this navy floral duster. While there isn't any orange in the print of the kimono I think the orange still goes well with it due to that navy background. Wore my Bermuda denim shorts again which have been getting a lot of wear recently! Despite it being autumn and a very wet and rainy day, it was still a humid morning that called for shorts over jeans. I did end up changing to jeans in the evening though when we went out for sports, as it was a little chilly doing school pick up in the afternoon.

Despite the bright orange of the tee I thought this outfit could use a little more colour, so went with another of my turquoise bags, this cute Balenciaga bleu India first bag. I like this floral duster and the first bag together, I've worn them together before.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, navy tassel necklace, marigold tee, Bermuda denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Balenciaga turquoise First bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and denim skirt, marigold tee and culottes, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, Balenciaga turquoise First bag and pink dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Navy is a great neutral and as you can see here it works well with both the darker rust orange and the brighter marigold orange tee. You can't go wrong with blue and orange!

Leopard Print Tees and Distressed Denim Skirts With Aqua Mini MAC Crossbody Bag

Demonstrating my love of outfit formulas again by wearing two incredibly similar outfits with distressed denim skirts, sneakers and leopard print tees, a few days apart. One more colourful outfit and another more neutral one, but both with an extra pop of colour from my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in aquamarine.

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Top: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

This was an easy outfit for a hot day! I like the boxy cut of this tee, although I do think that maybe I should have tucked it into this distressed denim skirt. I really loved it last time I wore it that way with another denim skirt. I felt comfortable and colourful in this all day though, it was only looking at the pics I thought I should have tucked the tee in.

I like orange and blue together so the cobalt beaded necklace and House of Harlow wrap bracelet were easy accessory options with this, and the little aqua mini MAC really pops with the neon orange leopard print. It's not the first time I've worn this bag and tee together, I really like the pairing!

I'd planned a relaxed day for some child-free time after dropping both kids off at school. I did have a couple of errands to run, but I managed to make it to my favourite opshop for a very long and leisurely browse too. I didn't get much for myself but I did fill a bag of clothes for the kids that was just $5! Pretty good deals! The Adidas Superstar sneakers were nice and comfortable for the little bit of running around I did in the morning before school pick up in the afternoon.


Last worn: orange leopard print tee, blue beaded necklace, cobalt wrap bracelet, distressed denim skirt, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: orange leopard print tee and skinny jeans, distressed denim skirt and duster, Adidas Superstar and dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag in second trimester.

Ways To Wear a Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Kmart grey leopard print tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

Our usual Friday library visits have been pushed to the weekend now both kids are in school! After a great week at school I took the kids out to the library to pick up some new books, and then to the bike track for a little ride around. It was threatening to rain all morning but thankfully we were in the car on the way home before the rain started, perfect timing!

This necklace is one of my recent opshop finds - it's the same as the turquoise one I thrifted at a different opshop back in December, what are the chances! I thought I'd keep it simple and use it with a monochromatic outfit with this grey leopard print tee and the black Nobody Denim distressed skirt, and black New Balance sneakers. The grey tee was a bargain Kmart clearance find a couple of years ago and as this is it's 6th wear I'm definitely getting good value from the $2 I spent on it!

Of course I couldn't have a completely neutral outfit - I always want to add some colour - and much like it was in the first outfit above, the little aquamarine mini MAC bag was a great pop with this leopard print tee. It looks so good with black and grey.


Last worn: grey leopard print tee, distressed denim skirt, black and white bangle, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: grey leopard print tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and floral kimono, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It

Tess and denim are a summer staple! A printed tee, like these two leopard print ones, can add a little more interest to a simple tee and denim skirt outfit.

Red Tees, Denim Shorts, Printed Kimonos and Aqua Mini MAC Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing some more colourful casual shorts and tees outfits for summer with red tees, printed kimonos and a little aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Wore both these outfits back in December.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Surprisingly I haven't worn this coral red tee with this tropical floral print duster before! They are such a good combination, even if the shades of red don't match. I added this fun statement beaded necklace for a touch of even more red, and the little aqua mini MAC bag was another bright pop of colour.

This was a great outfit for a busy school holiday day before Christmas! Took the kids out to watch a Christmas movie in the morning, they picked up a few last minute presents and we had time for some Christmas craft at the shopping centre too before heading home as we had sports in the afternoon.

We saw the "A Boy Called Christmas" movie and it was really good! Highly recommend watching it - maybe next year as Christmas is long over now - I've just been a bit behind with sharing outfits!

Last worn: tropical floral duster, coral tee, black denim shorts, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral duster and jeans, coral tee and maxi skirt, black denim shorts with a dress, Adidas Superstar and pink dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

Wore my supportive New Balance sneakers, as again we had a busy day! Dropping off some donations at the opshop in the morning, and of course having a little browse, and then some shopping and having lunch with mum at IKEA.

Orange Skirts and Foil Tees With Green Rebecca Minkoff CrossBody Bags

Simple summer outfits with white foil print tees and orange skirts for a couple of busy days back at the end of November.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Kaylin star foil grey tee
Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Each year my mum and sister and I have an annual shopping day to finalise all our Christmas shopping. We left it a little late this year, as it was the last week of November, but it had given us plenty of time to finalise our shopping lists. And we were happy to find out the date we had organised weeks in advance was the Black Friday weekend, as there were so many deals! It was pretty crowded at the shops but I saved over $50 just on Lego alone so it worked out well despite the long lines trying to buy things.

This silver star print tee seemed like a slightly festive choice to wear for our long and productive day of shopping. It's comfortable and I liked the little sparkle, even if it didn't match the gold hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. I'd wanted to wear green and orange together again and thought his rust skirt and green bag were a good way to try that. I really loved the last time I wore orange and green together for our Christmas photos!

With the star print on the tee being fairly subtle I added this necklace at the last minute too. None of the other ones I tried seemed to be right, and I'm not sure this one was either, but I just wanted to go make a start on shopping. We were at the shops shortly after they opened and in our second last store when they put out a message it was closing in 20 minutes! A very productive shopping day, got all my Christmas shopping finished.


Last worn: heart earrings, star print foil tee, heart charm necklace, rust ruffle skirt, New Balance sneakers, green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: star print foil tee and maxi skirt, rust ruffle skirt and denim jacket, green mini 5-zip bag with red.

Favourite Rebecca Minkoff Bag In My Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Anika foil stripe tee in white and silver
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Wore this for another busy day with lots of rushing around. After the school drop off I took the little one on a couple of errands. We stopped at the shops and visited a friend before heading to the library. Then after school pickup, we were back at the shops again! I'd been sick that week so hadn't been able to take my eldest out to the shops earlier, and we needed to pick up a little gift for a party he was going to the next day.

I couldn't decide what to wear, when I realised I hadn't worn this striped tee in a while and I really like stripes with this ochre maxi skirt! As I had my big reusable tote for our shopping I just threw our water bottles in there and wore my little Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag to carry just the essentials. This bag was also overdue a wear having not being worn in a while! 

Surprisingly I haven't worn the bag and skirt together before, the aqua and amber are beautiful together. I liked that the silver hardware on the bag matched the silver foil stripes on the tee too.


Last worn: Tiffany diamond necklace, foil print silver stripe tee, ochre maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: foil print silver stripe tee and shorts, ochre maxi skirt and knit, white Converse and printed jeans, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC with mustard.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Foil print tees are a nice way to change up a classic tee and skirt combo. The metallic foil makes it feel like you put a little more effort into your outfit, while still being easy to wear. Plus that little extra sparkle is so festive!

Thrifted Orange Skirts and Kisschasy Band Tees

Easy outfits for warmer Spring days a few weeks ago. Featuring two very similarly coloured orange maxi skirts that are both lucky opshop finds! Wearing them with sneakers and some old Kisschasy band tees.

What I wore:

Tee: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

This was a causal outfit for a fun playdate at the park. Took my youngest along so he could meet some of his future classmates, as he starts school next year! Time is flying by. It was really nice that there were some other Kindy mums and a few of his Kindy friends there, hopefully they will all be in the same class at school for Prep. Wanted to be comfortable so I went with this long ochre maxi skirt. The kind of piece that was perfect for chatting with the other parents while also running around in the playground at times with my son.

Because I love orange and blue together, decided to give this old Kisschasy band tee another wear. It made me feel a little old though, when my son pointed out that what is rather obvious to me cassette tape wheels looked like car tires. 😂 Just obsolete technology! Unfortunately his interest in the tee and a little bit of shyness at all the new friends meant I ended up covered in strawberry stains and ended up having to get changed before our BBQ that evening.

Couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with the blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag with this too, and I was pleased I'd picked the Adidas Superstar sneakers to wear as they were really comfortable.

Last worn: Kisschasy cassette tape band tee, ochre maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: Kisschasy cassette tape band tee and printed skirt, ochre maxi skirt and winter layers, Adidas Superstar sneakers and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and blue dress.

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection

---

What I wore:

Tee: band tee from KissChasy "Bones and skin" tour
Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

How cute is this skirt? It was just $1 at the opshop so I couldn't say no, even though it's such a similar colour to the maxi skirt above. Such a good thrift find. Paired with a little crossbody bag, Converse and another Kisschasy band tee, it did feel a little like an outfit teenage me would have worn. But I loved it! The ruffles on this skirt made me happy for a quiet day with the school run, a couple errands, and a trip to the library.

This Kisschasy band tee was from their 2008 Bones and Skin tour, when my sister got injured during the gig and we ended up watching the rest from the TVs at the side of the bar getting basic first aid and then spending the night at hospital. Definitely an eventful show! I'd bought the tee before the show started and was wearing it in the hospital where the doctor already figured out where we had been from my tee as she loved the song too! It definitely fits a little tighter now 13 years later than it did pre-babies and in my teen years so I'm not sure I'll wear this again. It's gone back into my big box of various band tees (I used to buy one from every gig) as a memento instead, as that was definitely a night to remember!

The skirt is definitely staying in my regular wardrobe rotation though - adorable with Converse and I like the burnt orange with the burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.

Last worn: Kisschasy Bones and Skin band tee, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody. First time I've worn the rust ruffle skirt as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Kisschasy Bones and Skin band tee and gold jeans, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and little black dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Band tees are a wardrobe essential for many - they look great with jeans, but it's easy to mix it up a little and try them with a skirt instead - maxi or mini.

Printed Jeans, White Tees And Cardigans

Another two outfits following similar outfit formulas. White tees, printed jeans and cardigans with Rebecca Minkoff bags. Just like in Monday's post though, again I loved one outfit more than the other despite it being the same basic pieces together.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Yellow with these chevron print jeans really pops, so cheerful and colourful. The aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and turquoise necklace are an awesome extra touch of colour too. While this white tee does have a spotty texture all over I thought it might still work with the print of the jeans as it was neutral and a fairly subtle design and I'm glad I gave this a go, really liked this combination.

Wore this to work from home and take a late lunch to go cheer my child on for sports at school. The cardigan was too warm most of the day working from home but I appreciated it in the windy afternoon as I sat on the sidelines of the field for half an hour.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, turquoise stone necklace, white tee, chevron print skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, white tee and maxi skirt, chevron print skinny jeans with pink and purple, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and magenta florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag in third trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC and MAB Tote Comparison:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

I liked this outfit and I felt good in it, but just didn't like it as much as the one above. I'd planned a different top to wear but went with another white tee as I realised that morning I hadn't yet ironed the one I wanted to wear. With two little boys, I can never keep up with laundry! And I was going to go for a purple cardigan as well but after a particularly cold start to the morning I needed something a bit thicker and warmer so went with this navy one. Still added a little purple to my outfit with this plum Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote though, purple is so good with the pink leopard print jeans. I've worn it with them before.

Comfortable for a busy day with with school run, sports for the little one while his brother was at school then sports for both boys in the evening after school pick up. I also carried the baby bag for everyone's water bottles and post sport snacks as the mini MAB tote really just fits the essentials.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue statement necklace, plain white tee, pink leopard print jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, plain white tee over maxi dress, pink leopard print jeans with black, blue Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink leopard print jeans and hidden bump, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote in third trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

White tees are a wardrobe classic and always look good with printed jeans. A cardigan can add a little extra warmth for a cold spring day and a lot of extra colour.

Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans and Colourful Cardis

Sharing two recently worn striped tee and jeans outfits, with colourful cardigans to combat the cooler winter weather in Brisbane.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was a colder than expected winter day with a bit of rain and I actually wished I'd added a scarf to this outfit after the school drop off in the morning! I did like it when I wasn't feeling too cold though.

Was a quiet day but it was good to get out and about with it being the first full day after the 8 day Brisbane lockdown ended at 4pm the evening before. Doing the school run and attending our regular appointments again was so nice after an extra long 8 day lockdown.

These olive jeans look great with mustard, I like wearing this mustard cardigan with them. And you can't go wrong with a classic striped tee! The Chloe small Ethel bag was again a good choice as it fits so much - all the essentials plus my younger son's hoodie and both our water bottles.

Last worn: mustard cardigan, beaded necklace, striped tee, olive skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe small Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, striped tee and maxi skirt, olive skinny jeans on long haul flight, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Chloe small Ethel bag and monochrome outfit.

30 Ways to Wear a Colourful Cardigan:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

A quickly thrown together outfit I wore a while ago, for our final day of lockdown. (Before the day above!) We'd used up all the bread for breakfast that morning, so after watching the press conference and finding out the good news that lockdown was ending as planned I got out of loungewear and headed out to the shops to grab some bread.

Jeans and a striped tee is such an easy outfit, and I thought these magenta jeans added a nice touch of colour. The navy cardigan was a matchy-matchy choice with the navy stripes on the tee, but I didn't really need it. It was such a warm day I was eager to take it off when I got back home. The kids spent most of the day playing in the little tent you see in the background there!

Because all I needed was one loaf of bread I wasn't out long - this cute little blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag is nice with the darker navy blue of the cardigan and is perfect for just a wallet, mask, hand sanitiser and car keys.

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, Tiffany heart necklace, navy stripe tee, magenta jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and floral duster, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and blue dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

You can't go wrong with jeans and a tee! A striped tee is a classic and a good way to add a print to your outfit. A bright cardigan or pair of jeans - or both! - can add more colour too.
