Kmart Printed Culotte Shorts With Red Tees

Wearing my two pairs of Kmart printed culotte shorts with some red tees for hot and humid days at the end of summer in Brisbane.


What I wore:



Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
TeeCotton On The One sangria v-neck tee
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: black matte slim Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

Wore this to start our long holiday weekend with family on Tangalooma Resort (on Mulgumpin island). I had my big Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote as it's both a good beach bag and a great travel bag! It easily fit some snacks, bottles of water, and activities for the ferry ride over to entertain the kids and I, and it meant I didn't need another bag for day to day beach life.

We left early morning and got to enjoy the beach and pools before dinner. It was a busy day of travel but so relaxing once we got the resort on the island. Last time I stayed at Tangalooma was for our honeymoon, so it was great spending time there again. The kids loved it, really should have taken them sooner!

While there is no red in the print of these culotte shorts, I thought the red and navy combination was nice and colourful, and this was a comfortable outfit for our trip.


Last worn: red tee, blue necklace, navy printed culotte shorts, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Perfect for pregnancyLouis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.





What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka red resin bangle
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

While the outfit above is all things bought new, this outfit is mostly thrifted, except for the sneakers! The coral red tee, beaded necklace, pastel print culotte shorts, resin bracelets and Stella McCartney Falabella bag are all opshop finds.

Just like the outfit above, this shorts and tee outfit was super comfortable. Stayed in Brisbane with this though, no exciting trips, as I was working from home and had the school run. Needed the navy Sketchers sneakers as I'd injured my knee on our holiday, and needed the extra support.

I liked the washed coral tee with this - there is a little rust in the print on these culotte shorts and while the red tee and the red resin bangle aren't an exact shade match, I thought the pieces complimented each other nicely.


Last worn: coral tee, statement beaded necklace, resin bangles, pastel print culotte shorts, Sketchers, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Green And Blue Office Outfits With Converse and 5-Zip Bag

Two different office outfits, both featuring green and blue with my vintage faded electric blue Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag I got for Christmas.


What I wore:




Earrings: DIY green and red marble clay circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

Making this green Kmart broderie anglaise midi skirt work outside of December by pairing it with a simple black textured tee for the office. The red and green earrings were a Christmas set I made but I thought that the black tee and matching black Converse played down the Christmas theme enough. I really like this green skirt and I'm excited to wear it year round to get the most out of this Christmas present.

Green and blue is a combination I've been enjoying more lately, so this electric blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag seemed like an obvious choice with this pretty green skirt. The chunky geometric necklace was the obvious choice as it has both blue and green in it too. I really liked this outfit, it was great for a quiet day in the office.


Last worn: black textured teegeometric necklace, green midi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff electric blue 5 zip bag. First time I've worn the earrings as I made them over Christmas.

Other ways to wearblack textured tee, green midi skirt with red, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff electric blue 5 zip bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:





Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

This is a slightly different way to do green and blue. Again I wore my electric blue 5 zip bag, and this time I wore my blue Converse sneakers. I thought the blue accessories worked well with the teal background of this floral print dress. Not the first time I've worn this teal dress with blues, I really like the combination, so it's something I repeat often.

This is such a good dress for the office. While it's a light viscose the long sleeves and midi length help stop me from feeling too cold in the office aricon.

Black And Leopard Maxi Skirt And Blazer Outfits

Sticking again to an easy repeatable outfit formula with leopard print, camis, ruffle hem skirts and blazers for some casual office wear. Both outfits accessorised with my little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.


What I wore:




Jacketthrifted Zara black blazer
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
CamiNew Look black cross over back strappy cami top
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

My sister gave me this pretty black cross back cami from a wardrobe clear-out she had just before Christmas. I have the same one in orange, so of course I was happy to take this black version off her hands! With the cross over straps on the back and the spaghetti straps I definitely needed to cover this up in the office so I added this comfortable jersey blazer. This leopard print maxi was an opshop find and I've been wearing it fairly often since I thrifted it. It fits in perfectly with the very casual business casual outfits around the office lately, especially with the blazer to dress it up.

With the little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag I added a touch more gold and purple with this marble necklace which I thought was a good pop against all the black.


Last worn: black blazer, marble necklace, leopard print midi skirt, Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. First time I've worn the cami as it's from my sister's wardrobe.

Other ways to wearblack blazer and jeans, leopard print midi skirt and red tee, Converse and shorts, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and dress.

Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
TopKmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit to the one above, this time around with a grey blazer and a leopard print cami and black maxi skirt. This skirt felt like it was overdue another wear, and being a very similar shape to the leopard print one I wore above I figured I'd give it a try with a blazer for the office too. I really liked this outfit! The leopard print cami is a fun one and I just added a neutral navy necklace to let the cami and the lilac bag be the focus points of my outfit.


Last worn: grey jersey blazer, heart stud earrings, navy flat beaded necklace, leopard print cami, black maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Blue Printed Dresses And Lilac Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Two blue and white printed dresses I wore recently, both accessorised with my little lilac Numero Neuf mini bag which has been a constant staple for me since I got it for Christmas! Blue and purple work so well together, in both shades of the print of these blue dresses.


What I wore:




Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Iris Maxi The Label flora print blue and white mini dress
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a wonderful day down the coast at my parents. It was nice to give this pretty light blue flora print dress another wear! I wore it on Christmas day after I unwrapped it, without the belt, and this time around I decided to try belting it to make it look a little different. Wore my tan slides with it again, they also have been a staple since I unwrapped them on Christmas morning!

This dress was perfect for the heat and I felt suitably dressed for lunch and some family time. As I didn't need to carry much, this little lilac numero neuf mini bag got yet another wear. I liked the pastel against the blue and white print of the dress. Added a little extra colour with the pink star earrings. Blue, pink and purple are so good together, it's such a nice trio. Even if the pink from the earrings was such a small bit of pink!


Last worn: pink clay earrings, Tiffany necklace, blue print tiered dress, tan slides, lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wearblue print tiered dress worn unbelted, tan slides and shorts, lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and pink.

What I wore:





Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

Not such a fun day as the outfit above, but the heat and humidity called for a similar outfit. Throwing on a dress for an instant outfit is so easy and with the light viscose of this dress, good for the weather. Had a day with the school run and working from home, so dressed this down a little with the Adidas Superstar sneakers. Again I went with my little lilac Numero Neuf mini bag. It's just as good with the navy and white tile print on this dress as it was with the lighter blue print on the first dress.

This was also the 31st wear for this dress! I'm surprised it's taken me so long to hit 30 wears with it but I'm glad I got there in the end, it is such a classic and works well in my wardrobe.


Last worn: navy tile print dress, Tiffany heart necklace, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Office Outfits: Textured Pencil Skirts And Black Tops

With the summer holidays ending, it's back to the office for me. Still sticking with my mix of working from home some days and working in the office on others. Kept things easy for the return to work life with black tops and textured pencil skirts. And added a little colour with my Polene numero neuf mini bag.


What I wore:



Necklace: silver twisted chain necklace
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
SkirtCotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

I love this twisted metal necklace against the v-neckline of this linen blend tank. I wasn't sure it would look so good when I added the bag, which has gold hardware, with the silver necklace making such a statement. But I think they were enough of a distance away in my outfit that they worked.

And the lilac bag works well with the pastel pink of this textured polka dot pencil skirt. I've had it for years and I'm always surprised I haven't yet hit 30 wears with it!

Added comfortable Converse for the commute and I did consider a blazer with this, but it was much too hot to want to add the additional layer.


Last worn: linen blend tank, pink polka dot pencil skirt, Converse, Polene numero neuf mini bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wearlinen blend tank and jeans, pink polka dot pencil skirt and peplum top, Converse and dress, Polene numero neuf mini bag and linen dress.

Perfect for pregnancypink polka dot pencil skirt in first trimesterConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:




Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse (Christmas present)
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt (Christmas present)
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Both the top and the skirt are pieces mum picked up for me on our opshopping day before Christmas. The texture on the skirt is such a nice detail to differentiate it from my other grey pencil skirts, and it's very cosy in the cool aircon at work. I wasn't sure the shape of the outfit would work with the batwing blouse over the pencil skirt but I'm pleased I gave it a go. It was so comfortable and it got a few compliments in the office!

Added some layered Tiffany necklaces for a little detail near the neckline and again my little lilac Polene bag. With the black and grey outfit, some colour was definitely needed, and as I was working near the colleague who had let me try on her numero neuf mini before making the decision to get it, I was excited to show her what one I'd picked for Christmas!

Again went with practical sneakers - the Adidas Superstar sneakers are good for a rainy commute.


Last worn: Tiffany heart necklace, Tiffany notes necklace, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Polene numero neuf mini bag (above). First time I've worn the top and the pencil skirt as they are Christmas gifts.

Printed Dresses And Neon Pink Mini MAC Bag

Two simple printed dresses for hot summer days in Brisbane recently, with my little neon pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for a pop of colour.


What I wore:






Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC


Why I wore it:

Despite the mostly wet summer holidays, we did manage to get outdoors a few times, and this was one of those times. We ended up cutting the beach playdate short when the rain set in earlier than expected, but until we decided to call it a day the kids had been having a blast in the water.

The Kmart slides were a good choice for a beach day, and this pastel floral print dress is such a good cover up for my swimmers. I didn't end up getting in the water past my knees, but the kids had fun jumping around with their friends.

Because I had a big reusable tote with all our beach toys and a change of clothes and towels, I just wore my little Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC bag so I could have the essentials with me wherever I went.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, floral babydoll dress, tan slides, neon pink mini MAC.

Other ways to wearfloral babydoll dress and blazer, tan slides and blue dress, neon pink mini MAC and shorts.






What I wore:




DressAll About Eve striped black tee dress 
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC


Why I wore it:

Another simple printed dress with a pop of colour from my neon pink Rebecca Minkoff mini mac bag again. I love pink bags with this black and white striped tee dress! With the bright bag and the stripes on the dress, I felt I didn't really need a necklace with this, and it was better in the heat not to add anything heavy. Did add this cute Mimco twisted gunmetal bracelet stack, to make it look like I put a little thought into my outfit though. 

It was really too hot for closed in shoes, but I had a couple of errands to run and I'd managed to aggravate my knee injury again a couple of days earlier, so comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers were good for driving around and supporting my knee.


Last worn: black and white striped shift dress, bracelet stack, Adidas Superstar sneakers, neon pink mini MAC (above).

Black Tees, Denim Shorts, and Printed Dusters

Two denim shorts outfits for spring with printed cover ups. Both have black tees, and a little pop of yellow.


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
TeeAtmos & Here black essential v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

Simple black tee and shorts outfit for the school run, working from home, and a physio appointment over lunchtime. I wanted to feel a little more pulled together so I added the green floral duster on top, it always adds more to a plain outfit. And the little yellow mini 5 zip bag was a great pop of colour. As I was just going to the physio and doing the school run when I wasn't working from home, a little bag was all I needed for the essentials.


Last worn: green floral duster, wooden necklace, black tee, distressed denim shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
Tee: thrifted Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in black
ShortsNobody Denim mustard short shorts
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit formula to the one above, with some very different pieces. Most of these are new purchases. The black tee and the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag are opshop finds! The mustard Nobody Denim shorts are ones I bought on ebay and I'm still a little unsure on - they are cute and so comfortable but they are also a bit shorter than I would usually go for (I didn't check length measurements before bidding!). Much like the yellow bag in the first outfit though, I liked the pop of colour these mustard shorts added to the neutrals in my outfit.

The tassel necklace added more colour too, as well as my old favourite tie dye cape.
It was a busy day as I spent some time with my family in the morning, my sister stayed for breakfast and we worked from home together for a few hours as well which was nice. After the school pick up I had to run a couple of errands in the afternoon too.


Last worn: tie dye cape, tassel necklace, Havaianas. First time I've shared the black tee, mustard shorts and Stella McCartney Falabella bag as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: tie dye cape and pink jeans.

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
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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.

BagRebecca 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
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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.

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up

Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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.
