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.

Navy Striped Dresses, Scarves and Ankle Boots With Pink Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

As the start of Spring (1st September) gets closer here in Brisbane, I took the chance to brave bare legs. Still layered up with scarves and ankle boots though as winter isn't over just yet.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day. It was a really cloudy morning, threatening rain, but I was sure it would warm up later so I went bare legged. I was so cold in the afternoon though, it just seemed to get colder through the day! Luckily it was a busy afternoon, so the running around kept me warm! In the morning we had school drop off, I helped out in my son's class, and then I worked from home. After school pick up we ran a couple of errands with a stop to buy presents for a birthday party that weekend, and visited the library. So busy!

At least I liked this outfit, even if I did regret not wearing leggings with it! This Louis Vuitton scarf is such a nice blue with the white and navy striped dress, and I really like how the scarf pops against the black leather jacket too. The jacket was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the black ankle boots, and the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag added even more colour.


Last worn: leather jacket, Louis Vuitton shawl, navy stripe dress, black ankle boots, pink mini 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and maxi skirt, Louis Vuitton shawl and maxi dress, navy stripe dress and denim jacket, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, pink mini 5 zip bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

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

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings

Scarf: thrifted checked purple pashmina scarf
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

I loved all the colours in this outfit, and unlike the day above, bare legs were perfect as it warmed up quickly! I even considered taking the scarf off in the afternoon, although for sports in the evening it had cooled off a lot and I did cover up my legs.

It was a relaxed day. School drop off, a quick errand, and then working from home before school pick up in the afternoon, then sports in the evening. I really like pink and purple and blue together, and although the pieces in this outfit are all different intensities of these shades, I love the combination! The navy and black striped dress is a great backdrop for the pink mini 5 zip bag and purple scarf to shine.


Last worn: checked purple pashmina scarf, navy black striped tee dress, black ankle boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: checked purple pashmina scarf and blazer, navy black striped tee dress and denim jacket, black ankle boots and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy black striped tee dress in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Striped dresses are a great wardrobe basic! So easy to add more colour to them with accessories like bright scarves or a little pink bag, as I have here in these outfits.

Black, Burgundy and Grey Jeans Outfits With Turquoise Bag

Two burgundy, black and grey jeans and tee outfits, accessorised with my little turquoise Balenciaga First bag. Both outfits have similar colour schemes and follow the same basic formula, but I didn't love them both equally!

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Taking full advantage of this cosy knitted poncho, I didn't need to wear a scarf in that winter morning, so I chose this little turquoise and gold beaded necklace. While it's lighter than the almost teal turquoise of the Balenciaga First bag, I really liked the two together, and loved the colour they added to the deep burgundy (almost purple) tee. The grey Nobody Denim jeans were a sale find last year and they really should be worn more, such a nice wash that goes with everything!

Comfy sneakers for a quiet day with working from home and the school run. I thought that these white Stan Smiths went nicely with the white pattern on the knit. Such a comfortable outfit, I really liked this.


Last worn: knitted kimono, burgundy tee, turquoise beaded necklace, grey Nobody Denim jeans, Stan Smith sneakers, Balenciaga turquoise first bag.

Other ways to wear: knitted kimono and print mixing, burgundy tee and orange skirt, grey Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Stan Smith sneakers and black jeans, Balenciaga turquoise first bag and denim dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: burgundy tee in second trimester.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Scarf: red and black skull print scarf
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I planned to wear an outfit with a similar formula a few days later. With burgundy jeans this time, a black tee, and a grey cardigan. Again I went with the little Balenciaga bag which I think goes so well with this outfit.

The day was a lot colder than I expected though, and so I ended up changing the black scoop neck tee that I'd planned to wear out with this crew neck peplum tee, and added a scarf. As these were last minute changes before rushing out the door to get the kids to school I'm really not sure all the pieces worked as well together as the pieces in the outfit above did. I felt maybe a plain black tee like I'd planned would have been better with the skull print scarf. Although I liked the colours in this outfit, definitely felt more comfortable in the first one. Luckily it was another similar day, with the school run, working from home and then a little errand in the afternoon, so it was quite quiet.


Last worn: grey cardigan, peplum tee, red skull scarf, burgundy jeans, Converse, Balenciaga first bag (above).

Other ways to wear: grey cardigan and green jeans, peplum tee and shorts, red skull scarf and red knit, burgundy jeans and floral kimono, Converse and dress, Balenciaga first bag and pink dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: red skull scarf in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is always a staple, and adding a little burgundy with the grey and black neutrals is a nice way to add some more colour to your outfit. A little colourful bag is an extra pop too!

Pink Tees, Black Knits And Skinny Jeans With Turquoise Balenciaga First Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two pink and turquoise outfits I wore recently for the school run and working from home. I liked the pink tees and black layers outfits I wore previously, so repeated similar outfits again, both accessorised with my little turquoise Balenciaga first bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan
Scarf: blue tartan scarf
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! My favourite thrifted $1 faded black jeans, black cardigan and black and white Adidas Superstar sneakers were great basics to start with in my outfit and let me add more colour. While there is no pink in the tartan scarf, and the shades of blue are different from the little Balenciaga first bag, I thought all these colours went so nicely together.

The scarf was needed on a cold morning too, and at sports later in the evening! I had a couple quick errands to run after school drop off, before working from home and then picking the kids up at school in the afternoon.


Last worn: black cardigan, pink tee, tartan scarf, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga turquoise First bag.

Other ways to wear: black cardigan and shorts, pink tee knotted over dress, tartan scarf and stripes, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Balenciaga turquoise First bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: black cardigan and hidden second trimester bump, tartan scarf in first trimester.

Balenciaga First Review and What's In My Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Just like last time I wore this cosy knitted kimono I paired it with a pink tee again! A brighter pink tee this time, but almost exactly the same as the last time I wore this knit, as I wore it with black jeans then too! It was the perfect thing to wear when all I had to do was working from home, and the school run. It's so warm and cosy, like a blanket!

While the pink tee adds a lot of colour to the black and white outfit, the turquoise Balenciaga first bag adds an extra pop I really enjoyed - it looks so good with both pink and black! Plus it had everything in it from when I'd worn it above, and meant I didn't need the hassle of switching over my bag while also making sure the kids got to school on time!


Last worn: knitted poncho, pink tee, navy tassel necklace, black Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Balenciaga turquoise first bag (above).

Other ways to wear: knitted poncho and shorts, pink tee and maxi skirt, black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and pencil skirt, Balenciaga turquoise first bag and blue dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Pink tees look great with neutral black layers in winter - and you can't beat a classic jeans and tee outfit! A bright bag like this Balenciaga first bag is a nice way to add even more colour to winter layers too.

Jeans, Jumpers, and Purple Scarves

Two very cosy outfits with some statement knits and skinny jeans on extra cold winter days recently here in Brisbane. Accessorised with pretty purple scarves for some more colour too!

What I wore:

Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Knit: thrifted vintage Haneli metallic gold knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

I loved how comfortable this outfit was! I had nothing terribly exciting planned, the school run, working from home and an appointment, so I just wanted to be cosy. This vintage metallic knit and the grey skinny jeans was a combination I wasn't too sure about, if it would be too like silver and gold together, but decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did! I think the purple leopard print scarf and the purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote really pulled the outfit together, they were a nice pop of colour and coordinate well.

Still ended up throwing a blanket over my legs while working from home though, it was a really cold day!


Last worn: metallic knit, purple leopard print scarf, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: metallic knit with red, purple leopard print scarf and maxi dress, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple leopard print scarf in third trimester, Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Scarf: thrifted checked purple pashmina scarf
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper  
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This outfit is exactly the same formula as the one above, but was even more colourful! It's not the first time I've worn this cobalt knit with the magenta jeans, I really like blue and pink together! Blue, pink and purple is an awesome combo so I decided to accessorise with this thrifted purple pashmina. I wasn't sure that the checked fabric would work with the marle on the knit, but again as with the outfit above I'm glad I tried it as I think it worked well! With the bright jeans, bright top and colourful purple scarf, I went with my neutral white Converse.

Couldn't decide on just the right bag for this outfit - I knew I needed a neutral one to balance out the colour a bit. Went with this little navy micro Bedford crossbody bag in the end - it does go with everything and I've worn it with these pink jeans and a blue leather jacket before so I knew it would be a good choice for this blue and pink outfit too!

Another quiet day - no working from home as it was the weekend, so just a couple of errands and a library trip with the boys. It was a little too chilly to stop in the playground, but perfect for snuggling up at home and reading the books we borrowed.


Last worn: purple pashmina, cobalt knit, magenta jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: purple pashmina in monochrome outfit, cobalt knit and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and floral kimono, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and chambray dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: cobalt marle knit in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A cosy knitted jumper is an easy way to stay warm on a cold winter day, especially when paired with jeans. A colourful scarf can help keep you cosier too, and add a little more colour to your outfit, like these purple scarves do.
