Colourful Tees and Pencil Skirts

Two simple but colourful office outfits with crew neck tees, textured pencil skirts, Converse and Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

I like green and blue together, so it seems like an obvious pairing to wear this navy jacquard pencil skirt with the green crew neck tee. Of course I couldn't settle on just one shade of blue with this tee, so I added more. The tee is a really nice green that goes with everything, from the pastel blue of the Converse or the darker bluey-grey of the Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and the navy in the statement necklace and pencil skirt.

It's been a while since I've worn this necklace, but the green tee with the high neckline was the perfect backdrop for it I felt.


Last worn: statement necklace, green tee, jacquard pencil skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: green tee and jeans, jacquard pencil skirt with pink, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

Because I love a good easily repeatable outfit formula, another office day and the same outfit. This time I went with a red tee and a textured silver pencil skirt. Again I added a statement necklace, Converse and a little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. This aquamarine one adds a touch more colour to the outfit, it's a great pop against the coral red of the tee.

I did add a few more accessories to this to try and elevate the outfit a little for the office, with another statement necklace, the silver hoop earrings, and the silver cuff bracelet. Just like the outfit above, while the colours and pieces are different, I really like this outfit formula of tee, pencil skirt and Converse for my business casual office.


Last worn: coral tee, silver hoop earrings, faux pearl necklace, silver pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and shorts, silver pencil skirt and jacket, white Converse and dress, aqua mini MAC bag and jeans.

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

Burgundy Tees, Black Denim Skirts, Printed Cover Ups And Mimco Mim-Mazing Bag

Two simple burgundy tee and black denim skirt outfits, with colourful cover ups and my Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One sangria v-neck tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the school drop off, working from home, and an appointment in the afternoon before picking the kids up at school. While the red on this Paisley print duster is a lighter red, I think it pairs so nicely with deeper reds and this burgundy tee was overdue a wear. It was a super hot day, so a cute denim mini skirt was a practical choice to beat the heat, and then I had to go matchy-matchy with the Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. I did consider wearing black sandals with this to complete the matchy-matchy feel, but decided on these simple slides instead, mostly because I didn't have to look as hard for these as they were right by the door, ha!


Last worn: heart stud earrings, bronze foil necklace, twist bracelet stack, Paisley print cover up, burgundy tee, Nobody Denim skirt, tan slides, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: Paisley print cover up and jeans, burgundy tee and shorts, Nobody Denim skirt with pink and purple, tan slides and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Shein black floral print cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This black floral print thrifted cover up is a lovely sheer material, however it is polyester and I did regret picking it for that reason alone a few times on this day, as I ran around between stores as I had a couple errands and some groceries to buy. It got very hot!

I did like the way the black florals worked with the black denim skirt and the burgundy tee, the colours all look so good together. Like in the first outfit, the red in the print is lighter than the deep red of the tee, but again I liked the pieces together. It was just a very humid day and the extra layer in a not very breathable fabric wasn't ideal! I think the outfit would have been a little plain without that extra print though.


Last worn: floral cover up, beaded necklace, burgundy tee, black denim skirt, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and shorts, burgundy tee and maxi skirt, black denim skirt and blazer, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

Red Tees, Printed Culotte Shorts and Teal Cocoon Bag

Two simple red tee and printed shorts outfits, with my little teal MIMCO cocoon bucket bag, for some fun summer school holiday adventures with the kids.

What I wore:

Earrings: glitter Santa hat stud earrings
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One sangria v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

It's been way too long since I last wore this red tee. I confess it kind of got a little lost in my wardrobe with all the red tees I have! I really like the darker red though and while there isn't any red in the print of these pastel culotte shorts I liked the two together. It was the Christmas school holidays, so I added a very subtle festive touch with the teal MIMCO cocoon bucket bag. I don't think it was too obvious, but it made me smile wearing this combination.

We had a busy day, with a fun insect event in the morning. The kids got to learn more about insects and then go on a bug hunt to identify some bugs with the expert, so they were in their element. Even though there were a few rain showers while we were outdoors they still had the best time. Afterwards I had a couple of errands to run and we grabbed lunch before going home. Despite the rain showers it was a really hot and humid day so this shorts and tee pairing was perfect.


Last worn: glitter earrings, red tee, mixed metal necklace, printed culotte shorts, white Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: red tee and linen shorts, printed culotte shorts and blazer, white Converse and dress, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and skirt.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: B-Sparkly blue glitter resin tree earrings
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the red tee and printed culottes outfit formula so much above, I did what I always do, and repeated the same formula again! Like the previous outfit, there isn't any red in this lemon print on the culotte shorts, but I liked the pairing.

I wore this the day after the one above, we had another event on in the morning, a STEM event at the local library which the kids loved. I then took them out for lunch and we spent an hour or so in the arcade afterwards. It was our first time at that arcade and they do party bookings so I'm already thinking about birthday parties next year!

Unlike the day above, we were mostly indoors, enjoying the aircon at the library, restaurant and then the arcade. I still liked the simple shorts and tee combination though, good for a summer day even if it was spent mostly in aircon temps!


Last worn:  coral tee, blue beaded necklace, navy printed culottes, leopard print sandals, Mimco teal cocoon bag (above). First time I've worn the Christmas earrings.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and skirt, navy printed culottes and cardigan, leopard print sandals and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bag with pink.

Colourful Tees Black and White Maxi Skirts

Adding some colour to two different black and white printed maxi skirts with these simple tees. I've been reaching for maxi skirts quite often lately when the summer days are not too hot and humid.

What I wore:

Earrings: mini glitter gingerbread earrings
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Hermes pink clic clac
Bag:  Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I struggled a bit for what to wear on this day! I was working from home, but we had a themed event I'd be joining via video call so I wanted to be comfortable but also wearing something pink to meet the theme. After work I wanted to be a bit covered up for sports in the evening to provide a physical barrier against the mozzies. Ended up settling on this bright pink tee with the black and white maxi skirt. I love plain block colour tees like this as they go with all the prints in my wardrobe!

With the school run, working from home and sports in the evening, I didn't need to carry much and certainly not as much as this large bag can hold. I  still wore my Chloe Marcie bag though as it's been a while since I've worn it and it was overdue a wear.


Last worn: gingerbread man earrings, pink tee, wood and silicone necklace, black printed maxi skirt, braided sandals, Chloe Marcie bag.
 
Other ways to wear: pink tee and shorts, black printed maxi skirt in neutral outfit, braided sandals and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold gingerbread house earrings
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This was a subtle way to try red and green. very subtle with the teal Mimco crossbody bag and the pale coral tee. I felt it was a nice themed combination along with the little gingerbread house earrings! I've been enjoying wearing all my Christmas themed earrings this year. Both the coral tee and the vertical striped maxi skirt, like the necklace, are all opshop finds. I really like this skirt as it's nice and light for a warm day - it was perfect as the kids had a sport event on and the rain had cleared up turning it into a very humid day.

Wore my comfortable black Converse as I had a bit of driving to do, to and from the kids event, and needed to support my knee.


Last worn: gingerbread house earrings, coral tee, terrazzo necklace, vertical stripe maxi skirt, black Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Coral Tees, Black Jeans, Converse, Printed Cover Ups and Falabella Bag

Some cooler and rainy spring days had me reaching for my jeans again! Both of these outfits have black skinny jeans, with Converse and my Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I added more colour with the coral tees and printed cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

This was a very colourful outfit! With the red print in this tropical palm print cover up I was surprised to realise that I hadn't worn it with this coral tee before, they seem like such an obvious combination! I tried it out and I really liked it but figured I'd make the rest of the outfit neutral to balance out all that bright colour. The coated skinny jeans are a firm favourite after I recently thrifted them, and then the black Converse and black Stella McCartney Fallabella bag (also an opshop find!) were nice matchy-matchy neutrals too.

Had a fun morning out with the kids - we had to get new school shoes for them as we only got 3 terms out of the shoes we got at the start of the school year unfortunately. But we headed out to the outlets to take advantage of the sales, got ourselves a few extra treats too and managed to buy a few Christmas presents as well. It was a really productive day, and the storm that had been threatening all morning hit when we were inside the outlets so we thankfully missed the worst of it.


Last worn: tropical palm print cover up, neutral beaded necklace, coral tee, coated denim jeans, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical palm print cover up and green, coral tee and maxi skirt, coated denim jeans and knit, black Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

While the colours of this outfit are a little more muted compared to the outfit above, it's a similar outfit formula with the coral tee, printed cover up, and then black skinny jeans, black Converse and black Falabella bag. I liked this just as much as the outfit above. Jeans and a tee is a good outfit choice for rainy spring days. I just had the school run and then working from home, so wanted to be comfortable.

I liked the paler coral tee with all the black here, and the brown animal print cover up works so nicely with the muted colour of the tee and all the black in the outfit. I also like how everything in this outfit is an opshop find! The only piece that wasn't thrifted is the black Converse.


Last worn: animal print cover up, neutral beaded necklace, pale coral tee, faded black skinny jeans, black Converse (above), Stella McCartney Falabella bag (above).

Other ways to wear: animal print cover up and shorts, pale coral tee and skirt, faded black skinny jeans and cardigan, black Converse and maxi skirt, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Colourful Tees, Dark Denim Jeans, Cover Ups and Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag

Taking my Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag out again for a spin, with colourful tees and dark skinny jeans with statement cover ups on top for a little extra warmth. I really love this bag, but as it's so large and I don't always carry a lot, I don't use it as often as I should.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster
Necklace: silver twisted chain necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

I thought this pale coral tee would be a great piece to wear under this purple and red Paisley print cover up, to bring out the red in the print a little more. I think it worked well!

With the crew neckline though I definitely need to add a necklace for a little extra interest and so I went with this statement silver one that hadn't been worn in a while. Originally I was planning to wear a bag with silver hardware with this, but when I opened up my handbag wardrobe I saw this Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and realised it had been too long between wears. I figured the gold hardware on the bag and the silver necklace were far enough apart that they would work well together. 

I had a busy day, with some appointments and errands to run as well as attending my son's performances at school in the afternoon, and then sports in the evening, so I'd taken the day off to try fit it all in. It meant that as well as my usual essentials in my bag, I had a water bottle, my camera for the show, and a book for reading while waiting at the appointment. This bag carries it all so well!


Last worn: Paisley print cover up, silver twist necklace, pale coral tee, Nobody Denim jeans, Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag. First time I've worn the sandals as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Paisley print cover up and skirt, pale coral tee and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and cardigan, Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag and dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Salty Crush Haylo pink lace duster 
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

A slightly less busy day on this day, but again I stuck with the colourful tee, dark skinny jeans and pretty cover up outfit formula as before. I had the school run, working from home, and a couple of appointments in the afternoon for both the kids and I, so again I wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag. I needed to bring a book for all the waiting around at the appointments!

My sister got me this beautiful pink lace duster for Christmas and I always admire it hanging in my wardrobe but feel it has to be a special occasion to wear it. Wearing it on a regular working from home and school run day was a good way to break myself of that habit and give this pretty piece more chances to be worn, I really enjoyed wearing it!


Last worn: pink lace duster, lilac tee, blush beaded necklace, coated black skinny jeans, black Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag (above).

Other ways to wear: pink lace duster and shorts, lilac tee worn 30 ways, coated black skinny jeans and knit, black Converse and dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: lilac tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag in second trimester.

Black Jeans, Collarless Jackets and Love Too Bag

Dressing up jeans and a tee outfits for the office by adding these two collarless jackets on top of black skinny jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dixie collarless jacket
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

This boucle collarless jacket is a really thick fabric so it seemed like a good choice for a winter workday. While jeans and a tee is a staple in my business casual office, I feel adding a jacket or blazer on top like this helps make it look a little more formal.

I really liked the pale coral tee with all the black in this outfit too, it was a nice way to add some colour without being too bold. I liked the extra little colour from the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love bag too, which works well with both the lighter tee and all the black in the rest of my outfit.


Last worn: boucle jacket, beaded necklace, washed coral tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love too bag.

Other ways to wear: boucle jacket and skirt, washed coral tee and shorts, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and printed blouse, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love too bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: boucle jacket in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Diane Von Furstenberg Gabrielle boxy floral jacket in garden green (via Sheila's wardrobe)
Earrings: DIY green and red marble clay circle earrings
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! My son had a sports day at school so I spent some time in the morning after drop off watching him compete, then travelled into the office a little later. I thought that this silk Diane Von Furstenberg jacket would be good as I wasn't expecting it to be too cold sitting on the side lines of the oval on a sunny morning. It was a little chilly though and I regretted not adding a scarf to this outfit!

Last time I wore this jacket I had a hard time picking a necklace, so I decided to just wear this pretty sparkly tee, although the sparkle never shows up in photos. I added the statement earrings instead of a necklace and I really liked this combination, even if it was not quite warm enough for the day.


Last worn: green silk floral jacket, clay earrings, navy sparkle tee, faded black jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Other ways to wear: green silk floral jacket and white tee, navy sparkle tee and skirt, faded black jeans and blazer, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi skirt.

Red Tees Black Shorts and Printed Cover Ups

Adding some printed cover ups to these black shorts and red tee outfits, with comfortable sneakers and black bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Shein black floral print cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Shorts: Jeanswest Sara distressed hot short
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun evening! I had to work from home, and then the kids and I headed down the coast for dinner with my sister at my parent's house. It's a good meet up point between both our houses. And while we both had long days, it was good to catch up and spend some time together. The boys had been looking forward to it for a while!

I did consider wearing jeans instead of shorts - as it is autumn - but I was plenty warm while working from home, and I thought this dark floral cover up would keep me warm as well in the evening. It did get a little chilly though, and I did wish I'd worn jeans before we went home. Will need to wear this floral cover up with jeans next time. I'll probably wear it with red again too, I really liked the coral red tee with the red in the floral print.

Last worn: floral cover up, coral red tee, feather necklace, black denim shorts, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.
 
Other ways to wear: floral cover up with turquoise, coral red tee and maxi skirt, black denim shorts and stripes, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Seed Heritage black printed poncho
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Decided to try something a little different with these black printed shorts and add another black print on top. The cover up and shorts are both a black background with a small white print so I thought they would work nicely together. I really liked the combination, especially with the red tee in-between for a touch of colour.

I haven't always enjoyed print mixing with these shorts but it was good to try something different, and I really liked this outfit! Added the practical New Balance sneakers and my big Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag for a day in the park. Making the most of the beautiful weather on the public holiday, we took the kids to the local park to practice skateboarding on the boards they recently got from my parents. And then after tiring themselves out on their boards, they were able to run around in the playground for a bit.


Last worn: black print cover up, red tee, sunburst necklace, black printed shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff studded unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: black print cover up with grey, red tee and culotte shorts, black printed shorts and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff studded unlined tote bag and blazer.

Red Tees, Printed Shorts And Cupid Bag

While it is autumn in Brisbane, shorts weather continues! Making the most of warmer days and wearing some printed shorts with plain red tees and my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One sangria v-neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus black beaded bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

A weekend physio session meant shorts and a tee and comfortable and practical sneakers! I added a little colour to these soft black printed shorts and black sneakers with the red v-neck tee, and then went matchy-matchy with a black and red beaded bracelet stack.

After my physio I went shopping with mum for my son's upcoming birthday. We managed to pick up a lot of things we needed, it was a very productive day!


Last worn: red tee, feather necklace, black bracelet stack, black printed shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: red tee and blue shorts, black printed shorts and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey

Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in terracotta
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: black matte slim Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

I really liked the simplicity of the outfit above - a plain colourful tee with printed shorts is an easy warm weather outfit. So I repeated something similar the next weekend! This super soft red tee goes nicely with the navy printed shorts. It's not the first time I've worn these shorts with red, I like the combination. Once again I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. It's the perfect bag for running errands as it fits everything I need to carry plus a water bottle, and if I have the kids along like I did on this day, some snacks too.

The Cupid bag was an opshop find a while back, so as well as being a practical choice for running errands I was hoping it would bring me good thrifting luck at the opshop! I picked up quite a few books for the kids. We grabbed lunch at Bunnings too, picking up a few more things for the garden.


Last worn: red tee, sunburst necklace, navy printed culottes, matte black Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: red tee and maxi skirt, navy printed culottes with pink, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.
