Navy Tees, Shorts, Prints and Pink Jean MAC Bag

Two simple navy tees and shorts outfits, again with my Rebecca Minkoff fig pink Jean MAC bag. I've really been loving it lately, and the pretty pink shade goes so nicely with navy.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace

Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

Needed a nice simple shorts and tee outfit for the school run, working from home, and a physio appointment. This shorts and tee combination was perfect. With the navy blue tee and the pastel blue of the shorts the tri-colour necklace that had similar shades of blue was a great accessory! And I wore this Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag again because I love it with navy. Comfortable Sketchers sneakers for the drive to the physio and for doing all the exercises.


Last worn: navy tee, wooden necklace, pastel print culottes, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC.

Other ways to wear: navy tee and denim skirt, pastel print culottes and cardigan, Sketchers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC and dress.

Necklace: blush pink and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Kmart Dnight navy textured v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

Again, needed a comfortable and simple outfit so wen with shorts and a tee. These turquoise thrifted linen shorts were great in the heat! With the navy tee and turquoise shorts I wanted to add a little extra colour as well, the fig pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag was again good for this.  When I saw this cover up in my wardrobe and knew it would be perfect, with the different shades or pink and blue in the print. I liked how well coordinated this outfit was!

Had a couple errands to run in the morning, then had my parents come over for lunch.

Pink Tees Printed Shorts, Cover Ups and Jean MAC Bag

Just like in Monday's post, wearing my little fig pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag again, with pink tees, printed shorts, and some cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral

Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

I really liked how well all the pieces in this outfit worked together! It was a little cold for just shorts and a tee so I thought I'd try this dark floral print cover up. I don't always like when I try print mixing with these black printed shorts, but I really liked the florals with this. I think the matching dark backgrounds worked well.

The pink tee is a firm favourite and always looks good with purple, and even though the navy necklace doesn't match anything in the outfit, again it just seemed to work.

Had a nice day, working from home and a playdate for my son, my friend was kind enough to take him for a few hours so I could get some work done.


Last worn: floral print cover up, navy beaded necklace, pink tee, black printed shorts, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC.

Other ways to wear: floral print cover up and jeans, pink tee and skirt, black printed shorts and cardigan, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC and stripes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

This was definitely shorts and tee weather! I liked the brighter pink of the tee against these pastel print culotte shorts. Needed the sneakers for a bit of a drive, we had a playdate up north to visit a new spot to us but one our friends love visiting. While it was a hot and humid day I had to add a cover up for extra sun protection - I feel this white one worked well, as the embroidery isn't too busy combined with the print on the shorts.

Just like in the outfit above, I wore my fig pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag again, it's so good with different shades of pink like this brighter tee.


Last worn: embroidered cover up, wooden necklace, pink tee, pastel print culotte shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: embroidered cover up and denim, pink tee and maxi skirt, pastel print culotte shorts and printed tee, Sketchers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC and dress.

Blue and Pink Floral Print Outfits For Spring

Two simple pink and blue outfits for spring. Both have a little touch of florals, although the first one has a pink tee and blue shorts and the second is a blue tee and pink jeans to switch it up a little.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

This was an eventful day! I was working from home when there was an incident in the street and I had to run out to help. Thankfully I didn't have to provide a lot of first aid as it was just a minor incident, but not the best way to meet the new neighbours!

As it had been a warm day, shorts and a tee were perfect, and after I wrapped up things with work we had a couple of errands to run and I took my son to an appointment.

I wasn't sure if the floral print bag would be too much against the print on the shorts, but I think the colours being similar helped tie it all together, and I really liked this combination.


Last worn: pink ombre tee, beaded necklace, navy printed culottes, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: pink ombre tee and blazer, navy printed culottes and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly printed kimono in white base ditsy floral 
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

This time around I went with a brighter shade of pink, with the magenta jeans and the pastel tee. With the red and pink floral print in the cover up, I thought the magenta jeans complimented it quite nicely, and I do always like blue and pink together so the pastel blue tee was an easy choice. It let me do a bit of matchy-matchy with the blue Converse too.

Didn't need to carry much, another wok from home day with a physio appointment in the afternoon so it was a good opportunity to get this little olive Darren bag out again - can't even fit my wallet in it, it really is just for the essentials.

Like with the jeans, I liked how the olive worked with the shades of green in the floral print.


Last worn: floral cover up, stone necklace, blue tee, magenta jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and skirt, blue tee and shorts, magenta jeans and leather jacket, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and double denim.

Graphic Tees, Linen Shorts and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

More photos from our Sea World Resort staycation for today's Weekday Wear Link Up! I kept things simple and comfortable for our days exploring the theme parks, with linen shorts and graphic tees. the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was a good size for carrying everything we needed, yet small enough to leave in the lockers at the side of the rides when we rode.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono
Tee: Canada bear graphic tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Grabbed this opportunity to get an outfit pic after just coming off the Wild West Falls ride you see behind me, so I was a little drenched from the splashdown! It was lots of fun though, although not one of my son's favourite rides. Maybe when he's a bit older!

Although the blue in the graphic print on the tee doesn't match the turquoise of the linen shorts, I really liked the two together! And I added the printed cover up on top mostly for the extra sun protection, as we walked around the theme park all day. I liked those the little mustard triangles in the print complimented the yellows and oranges in the graphic of the tee.

Last worn: printed cover up, graphic tee, linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and dress, graphic tee and jeans, linen shorts and white tee, Sketchers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and denim.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee 
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this for our trip down to the resort, and quickly realised once we were checked in and exploring the theme park that the denim jacket was a really silly idea for such a hot day! It had been a cooler morning when we had driven down the coast, but warmed up quickly, and the jacket spent most of the day in my bag as we jumped around between rides. I was thankful for it when we went out for dinner in the evening though and it had gotten cooler.

Again, the graphic print on this Kisschasy band tee doesn't really match the rust orange of the linen shorts, but I felt they were close enough together that this outfit worked. Especially with the dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag matching the black background on the tee nicely!


Last worn: denim jacket, Kisschasy band tee, orange linen shorts, Sketchers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Kisschasy band tee and jeans, orange linen shorts and floral print, Sketchers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

Red Denim, Stripes, Sneakers and Black Bags

Two different red denim outfits for spring in Brisbane - with the slightly varying temperatures, the first one is simply shorts and a tee and the second one I needed the warmth of jeans and an extra layer. Both feature stripes with the red denim, because stripes and denim always work so well together no matter the colour of the denim!

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Shorts: thrifted red denim shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a regular work from home day, with a physio session at lunch time. As it was such a warm day, shorts and a tee were all I needed. I thought these thrifted red shorts would work well with the also thrifted Coca-Cola logo tee. Even if the shades of red are slightly different, they were close enough to make my matchy-matchy self happy.

It was the school holidays so didn't even have to do the school run - and hubby had the kids out most of the day so I had a really productive day. Shorts and a tee was just perfect for working from home and not having to worry about changing my outfit for physio.


Last worn: Coca-Cola tee, red denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: Coca-Cola tee and skirt, red denim shorts and plain tee, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I was working from home in the morning, and had a couple of appointments in the afternoon after picking up the kids from school. I knew I'd need a confidence boosting pop of colour, so these red jeans paired with the colourful beaded necklace were perfect! I kept the rest of the outfit neutral, with the silver tank, black and white striped cardigan and my big black Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Taking the kids to the doctors after school pick up requires a lot of books and snacks, the big tote bag was definitely needed!

Last worn: striped cardigan, colourful beaded necklace, metallic tank, red jeans, Sketchers sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: striped cardigan and skirt, metallic tank and shorts, red jeans worn 30 ways, Sketchers sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy:  striped cardigan in second trimester,

Linen Shorts With Embroidered Tanks and White Cover Ups

Loving the Brisbane weather that meant I could still get some wear from these linen shorts I thrifted last year well into autumn! This time around I wore them with embroidered tanks and white cover ups, for a couple of days back in the Easter school holidays.

What I wore:

Jacket:  Shein lace trimmed crochet inset white kimono c/o
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Sometimes I like showing off the cuter paper bag waist on these linen shorts, like I did last time I wore them. Other times I like pairing them with voluminous tops and hiding the waistband for a completely different look. I thought I'd be brave and try orange and green together - this olive embroidered tank was perfect with the orange linen shorts, I liked the way it draped. I did have to add a cover up on top as it was a little cold for bare arms and legs, so I went with this neutral white one.

Stuck with a big neutral bag too, this black Rebecca Minkoff tote had snacks and water bottles for a family fun day event with the kids, which we all really enjoyed.

Last worn: white crochet trim kimono, embroidered tank, orange linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: white crochet trim kimono and dress, embroidered tank and jeans, orange linen shorts and navy, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and pink dress.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace 
Tank: Sass and Bide 'Musical Genius' tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
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:

This followed the same outfit formula as the one above, with this neon embroidered Sass and Bide tank paired with these fuchsia pink linen shorts. I thought the matching pinks were a fun combination, although when I looked back at the photos I wasn't too sure the embroidery on the white cover yup worked as well as I hoped with the print on the tank.

It was a much needed practical choice though. We had booked the kids in for a messy play morning but just as we were about to leave we got a call that it had been cancelled, and we decided to head out to the park instead, and treat ourselves to some lunch. Not quite the fun day we had planned, but a pretty good alternative. It was a really sunny day so I was very glad for this cover up over my shoulders!


Last worn: embroidered cover up, Tiffany necklace, Sass and Bide tank, fuchsia linen shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote (above).

Other ways to wear: embroidered cover up and denim shorts, Sass and Bide tank and maxi skirt, fuchsia linen shorts and stripes, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: Sass and Bide tank in second trimester.

Kmart Linen Shorts Outfits With Plain Tees and Colourful Cover Ups

Wearing these Kmart linen shorts I thrifted back in December into autumn by adding some longer printed cover ups on top.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

While the kids were with the in-laws, I took advantage of some rare time to myself and went opshopping with a friend. I got some really cute things, I'll do a post on Friday about what I got. As always while I didn't get too much fashion related for myself I did spend an awful lot - books were $1 each so I stocked up on some for me and some for the kids too. After my relaxing morning browsing the opshops, I had to do a few less exciting things around the house in the afternoon.

I really like pink and blue together so the light blue tee seemed like such an easy choice with the hot pink linen shorts. And I think wearing the shorts and necklace I thrifted on my last trip brought me good thrifting luck again this time! The navy tie dye cover up was nice in the morning, it was a littler cooler and this is a comfortable piece that didn't overheat me later in the day when it did warm up. 

The aqua bag was a fun pop with the different shades of blue and the fuchsia pink too. I rarely match this bag to anything in my outfit, it is just such a good pop of colour on its own.

Last worn: tie dye cover up, light blue tee, chunky necklace, fuchsia linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tie dye cover up and denim skirt, light blue tee and shorts, fuchsia linen shorts with yellow, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC at 39 weeks.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Eliza summer poncho in yellow floral
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

This is a very bright outfit with the yellow and orange and aquamarine together! I saw this yellow printed cover up when I was wondering which one would go best with this white tee and orange shorts outfit, and while it is a very bright combination I think it was so fun to wear!

This was a fun but busy day, as I had the day off to spend with the kids and we tried to cram a lot in! The kids had a school holiday cooking class in the morning, we toured an environmental centre in the afternoon (and gave them some of our stick insect eggs because our girls have been laying a LOT of eggs!) and then my mum came over, and the kids had a haircut in the evening. These Sketchers sneakers were a must have for all the driving around.


Last worn: yellow cover up, Tiffany heart necklace, white tee, orange linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: yellow cover up with olive green, white tee and printed jeans, orange linen shorts with navy, Sketchers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and blue dress.

Chloe Small Paraty, Denim, And Statement Cover Ups

Adding a little extra interest to a plain tee and denim outfit in both of these outfits with statement cover ups. A fun sequin piece and a long flowing duster help to make these outfits stand out a little more.

What I wore:

Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Had a bit of a trim for my hair. It's really not growing as fast as I'd like (I'm trying to donate it again) so I thought a little trim would speed up the process! Spent some time shopping afterwards, as well as all going out for lunch. I didn't buy anything for myself but we did have fun buying some birthday presents for the kids and taking advantage of some of the sales to do so!

This sequin kimono is so beautiful and statement-making, one of the sales assistants in the shops said I was "very Harry Styles", haha! I love seeing people's reactions when I wear this, even on just a standard day out shopping with the family. It always makes people smile, I love wearing it! As I said to my sister, it is definitely designed for dancing the night away, but it also just brings me so much joy wearing it with everyday outfits.

Without it this deep purple tee and distressed denim skirt was a bit plain, I really liked how it elevated the outfit a bit. And I loved how similar this purple Chloe Paraty bag is with the deep purple of the tee, they are the perfect pairing.


Last worn: sequin kimono, earrings, coin necklace, stone pendant necklace, purple tee, distressed denim skirt, Havaianas, Chloe purple small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: sequin kimono worn 2 ways, purple tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Chloe purple small Paraty bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple tee in third trimester.

What's In My Bag: Chloe Small Paraty

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Kmart Dnight navy textured v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty 

Why I wore it:

With the blue tee, blue necklace, distressed denim shorts, periwinkle Paraty, and navy Havaianas, this was a very monochromatic blue outfit! This statement duster was a nice way to add a little more colour to my outfit. I really like blue and green together!

Just like this outfit above, adding the extra duster layer on top helped me feel more pulled together. It was a quiet day, just having a playdate with one of my son's friends.


Last worn: green floral duster, blue necklace, navy tee, distressed denim shorts, Havaianas (above), Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and jeans, navy tee and fuchsia pink, distressed denim shorts and stripe tee, Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag and printed shorts.

Black, White and Grey Outfits With Pink Crossbody Bag

Adding a little pop of pink to neutral black, white and grey outfits with my Rebecca Minkoff iris pink mini 5-zip bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Vienna Awaits' floral print kimono
Necklace: Kmart pink multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Felt like I hadn't worn this pretty printed black and white cover up in a while, it was definitely overdue a wear! Kept the rest of my outfit neutral with the black Nobody denim skirt, and the grey tee, although the tee is a little deceptive. It's got a pink panel on the back, which although you can't see it in the photos, was visible through the sheer fabric on the back of the cover up. With that I added a pink beaded necklace and my little pink iris Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag too, for a little matchy-matchy pink even though the shades differ.

It was a very hot day, but we had a nice relaxing one, dropping my eldest off with his friends for a playdate, a trip to the library with the little one, and then catching up with friends in the afternoon before picking up my eldest from his playdate.


Last worn: black and white cover up, wooden bead necklace, grey tee, Nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip.

Other ways to wear: black and white cover up and maxi dress, grey tee knotted over a dress, Nobody Denim skirt and leopard print, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee in second trimester.

What Fits Inside: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Again with another black and white cover up! I like the black embellishment on this one, so paired it with the black printed shorts. I felt they hadn't been worn in a while either! They were perfect for a hot day as they are nice and light. It was a little busy with the school run, some errands, and working from home before school pick up in the afternoon and then a little last minute shopping for a present for a birthday party that weekend.

I wore another grey tee. I like the darker colour of this one, and although I did add a little pink to it as well with the blush and gold necklace, the pink mini 5-zip bag was the main touch of colour in this outfit.


Last worn: embellished cover up, grey tunic, gold and blush necklace, black printed shorts, sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff pink Iris mini 5-zip (above).

Other ways to wear: embellished cover up and denim, grey tunic and green midi skirt, black printed shorts and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris mini 5-zip and floral dress.
