Pink and Purple Denim Skirt and Tee Outfits With Floral Prints

Two different Target stretch denim pencil skirt outfits with pink and purple. While these outfits follow a very similar outfit formula, I liked how different both turned out.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Skirt: Target classic denim skirt in white
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I wanted a comfortable but practical outfit for my annual Christmas shopping day out with my mum and sister. Decided on this white denim skirt, as I was out most of the day and didn't have to worry about wet doggy footprints on the white denim! The white Adidas Superstar sneakers were a nice comfortable choice for a day walking around all the shops, getting the bulk of my Christmas shopping done. Just a couple things I've ordered online that I'm waiting for now.

As we often buy each other things while out shopping, I thought a skirt and tee was a good outfit for trying things on. We did try on a few things too so I was glad I wore this outfit. I didn't add a necklace as I had my big glittery gingerbread statement earrings, and with the purple floral print on the cover up I felt the earrings and floral print added enough interest on their own.

Although the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag isn't an exact match with the purple in the print, I really liked it with this outfit, and I only needed the essentials on our shopping trip anyway.

Last worn: gingerbread earrings, pink tee, floral print duster, white denim skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and pencil skirt, floral print duster and shorts, white denim skirt and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and blue printed dress.

What I wore:

Earrings: mini glitter gingerbread earrings

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly printed kimono in white base ditsy floral 
Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the pink and purple skirt and tee combination above so much, I wore it again, this time with my black Target denim skirt. This one was an opshop find. I really liked the purple tee with it, it's such a bold colour. Also wanted to add a necklace to this outfit as while I was also wearing statement gingerbread earrings in this outfit, they are a smaller set than the one above. With the blush pink necklace, and the pink floral print of the white cover up and the sorbet pink of the Balenciaga city bag, there was a lot of pink in this outfit, but I think all the shades of the colour worked so nicely together.

It was a good outfit for a hot day, with church in the morning, and then a kids bowling party in the afternoon.


Last worn:  floral cover up, blush necklace, purple tee, black denim skirt, Converse, Balenciaga sorbet city bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a gift.

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and jeans, purple tee and printed jeans, black denim skirt and stripes, Converse and dress, Balenciaga sorbet city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet city bag at 37 weeks.

Black Dresses, Sneakers and Violet Marc By Marc Jacobs Bag

Two little black dresses for work, both worn with my thrifted Marc By Marc Jacobs violet convertible clutch bag that I added an additional silver crossbody strap to.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Jeanswest tucked ponte black dress
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

Went with all the silver for this outfit! This little black fit and flare dress is one I haven't worn in a while, so it was overdue a wear. As were the silver glitter sneakers, that I snapped up at a bargain price at Kmart and haven't worn an awful lot. It was good to get them out again. With the silver statement earrings and the silver glitter shoes against the little black dress I needed a bit more colour, so I wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs opshop find.

Nice simple outfit for a busy day at work, although we did have a very fun team lunch event in between all the meetings I had.


Last worn: silver earrings, black fit and flare dress, silver glitter sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch.

Other ways to wear: black fit and flare dress and blazer, silver glitter sneakers and maxi skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: black fit and flare dress in second trimester.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Thrift Find

---

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted Colette gold metal flower stud statement earrings
Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

We had another event at work, so to not look too overdressed or underdressed I picked another black dress from my wardrobe to wear. This black floral print Kmart one is one I often wear, I really like it for the office and worn casually too. Unlike the outfit above where I went a little matchy-matchy with the silver accessories and silver hardware on the Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, this time around I wore gold accessories. My big statement gold earrings were an opshop find, and the little golden initial necklace is a vintage piece from my wardrobe. The blue converse are a good match with the blue in the print of the dress too.

The violet Marc By Marc Jacobs bag doesn't match the pink in the floral print of the dress exactly, but I like the different colours together.


Last worn: gold statement earrings, vintage letter m initial necklace, black floral midi dress, blue Converse, Marc by marc Jacobs convertible clutch (above).

Other ways to wear: black floral midi dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch and jeans

Navy Striped Dresses And Stella McCartney Falabella Bag

Two navy striped dress outfits for quiet office days in spring. Wearing my thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag with both dresses.

What I wore:

Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus jade beads
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

Surprisingly, I realised I hadn't worn this green necklace with the navy striped shift dress before when I looked through my blog archives. I love wearing the green beads with navy so that seemed like a bit of an oversight! I was glad to wear the two together, and added a little more green with the beaded bracelets too. 

Kept to black with the rest of the accessories, with the Adidas Superstar sneakers and Stella McCartney Falabella bag, so that the green beaded necklace was the main statement in my outfit. This dress is so comfortable for a quiet desk centric day at the office, with a couple of errands after picking up the kids from school in the afternoon.


Last worn: green beaded necklace, navy striped shift dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: navy striped shift dress and leather jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy striped shift dress in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: red multi strand beaded statement necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit formula above, I once again repeated it for another office day. This navy and white striped shift dress was a bargain $1 opshop find that I really enjoy wearing in cooler weather. The long sleeves and thicker fabric mean it doesn't get worn much over summer. It was perfect for this spring day though. With the white stripes in the dress I wore my white Converse for a bit of matchy-matchy, and again my Stella McCartney Falabella bag. It really goes with everything.

I added some contrasting colour like I did in the first outfit with another beaded necklace, this one a shorter red one but it still makes a nice statement against the navy striped dress.


Last worn: red beaded necklace, navy and white striped dress, white Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy and white striped dress and leather jacket, white Converse and skirt, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and jeans.

Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans And Colourful Blazers With Balenciaga Bags

Adding some colour and a little more formality to casual striped tee and jeans outfit for the office with these bold and colourful blazers. Both blazers are preloved finds and  they are great additions to my work wardrobe.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

I've been enjoying wearing oranges and reds together. It's a very autumnal colour scheme, but this combination of the burgundy striped tee and the orange blazer was so subtle it felt like it worked well for spring. The faded black skinny jeans and the white Converse were a comfortable choice and nice neutrals, so I added a little extra colour with the Balenciaga first bag, which really pops against the orange blazer. The turquoise tassel necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with it too.

It was a quiet, mostly sitting at my desk day, so jeans and a tee was perfect for my relaxed office. I did forget to throw the blazer back on for a meeting I had, but the meeting room was quite warm so it was better I didn't have that extra layer!


Last worn: orange blazer, burgundy stripe tee, turquoise tassel necklace, faded black skinny jeans, white leather Converse, bag strap, Balenciaga first bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and skirt, burgundy stripe tee and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and leather jacket, white leather Converse and dress, Balenciaga first bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

Another outfit following the same formula, showing how fun a bright blazer is even over a simple jeans and tee outfit. Again I went with a striped tee and black skinny jeans. The blue blazer, blue beaded necklace and blue Converse sneakers are all different shades but they work so well together. I can never have too many shades of blue in an outfit!

With all the black and blue, I added another bright Balenciaga bag. Like in the outfit above, I like the bright combination of the contrasting bag and blazer. And the magenta Balenciaga day bag was definitely overdue another wear, it's been a while since I last wore it!


Last worn: cobalt blue blazer, striped tee, beaded necklace, Nobody denim jeans, blue Converse, magenta Balenciaga day bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blue blazer and dress, striped tee and shorts, Nobody denim jeans and cardigan, blue Converse and dress, magenta Balenciaga day bag worn 30 ways.

Skinny jeans, Black Tops and Blazers With Mimco Mim-mazing Crossbody Bag

Two colourful blazer outfits I wore with black tops, black bags, and jeans for office days recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I really liked the colours in this outfit! With the black linen blend tank and the orange blazer this outfit it might have looked a little Halloween-ish. But the burgundy jeans break that association beautifully I thought. Even though it's spring here in Brisbane I really liked the autumn colours in this outfit and I'm going to have to wear red with this orange blazer more often!

Kept the accessories simple with my little black Mimco crossbody bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers and the foil necklace. Blazer and jeans makes for a great outfit for a day working in the office, and the bright colours in this really made me smile.


Last worn: orange blazer, foil necklace, linen blend tank, burgundy jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and skirt, linen blend tank and green, burgundy jeans and graphic tee, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Tank: lace bib black swing tank from mum's wardrobe
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus black beaded bracelet stack and Roie Designs labradorite bracelets and pearl bracelets
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another bright blazer. This blue one I thrifted a while back is such a fun pop of colour against black. To let the blazer be the statement piece in my outfit I kept the rest black and white, with this black lace tank, the white skinny jeans and white Converse. Again I wore the little black Mimco crossbody bag. I felt like I could still add a little extra colour in this outfit though, so went with this fun multi coloured statement piece.

I felt comfortable in this outfit. The bright blazer was professional but still fun as I had a massive presentation to give in the office. It went well, I got good feedback. And all the special pieces in this outfit (necklace from my bestie, my mum's tank and bracelets from my friend) helped give me a bit of a confidence boost for the presentation too.


Last worn: blue blazer, beaded necklace, lace tank, white jeans, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue blazer and skirt, lace tank and leopard print, white jeans and cardigan, white Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt .

Black Blouses, Jeans, and Pink Bags

Two black blouse, jeans, and pink bag outfits I wore to the office recently.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted magenta pink statement beaded necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

Sometimes I struggle a bit picking a necklace for this blouse, but this pretty fuchsia statement necklace was perfect with it! I felt it added a pop of colour to the black blouse and grey jeans outfit even when I wasn't carrying around my pink Balenciaga city bag. That does add a big pop of colour too, but I don't carry it around the office, it sits on my desk.

Although the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag and fuchsia necklace are different shades of pink, I thought they worked well together with the neutral outfit. I really liked the simplicity of this outfit, felt great in this all day.


Last worn: beaded necklace, batwing blouse, grey skinny jeans, black Converse, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

Other ways to wear: batwing blouse and skirt, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and maxi skirt, Balenciaga sorbet city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Balenciaga sorbet city bag at 37 weeks.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Tilda' black shirt
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony

Why I wore it:

I didn't like this outfit as much as the one above. Although the pink jeans are comfortable and the black blouse is a good basic piece, I just didn't enjoy wearing this as much as the outfit above. It's a shame this top isn't worn more often, being a black long sleeve blouse it's such a good basic. It just always seems to get passed over for more interesting tops. It's actually not been worn in years, so it's a piece that will be leaving my wardrobe. I'll donate it to the opshop.

Again I added another shade of pink to this outfit with the blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag. It's not the same shade of pink as the jeans, but like the two different shades in the first outfit, I think the pinks looked good together. Simple outfit for another office day, even if I didn't like this as much as the first outfit.


Last worn: button detail blouse, Tiffany necklace, pink jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: button detail blouse and skirt, pink jeans and knit, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: button detail blouse in third trimester.

Blue Tanks, Denim Shorts, Yellow Bag and Printed Cover Ups

Sticking again with easily repeatable outfit formulas for some hot spring days recently. Both these outfits have a little yellow bag, blue tanks, denim shorts and a printed cover up.

What I wore:

Jacket: Woven Heart gold floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

Although the yellow tassel necklace is a slightly lighter shade of yellow than that in the bag, I liked the almost matchy-matchy-ness of the two accessories together. I picked this fun floral cover up to go on top as it has yellow in the flower print, but it doesn't really show too much in the photos because of how it's draped. I really liked this combination though!

Went with a simple blue tank untucked over my Bermuda denim shorts and my comfortable Sketchers sneakers as we headed out for a citizen science event at a local bushland reserve. I knew it would be a hot day with a lot of walking, so wanted to keep my knee comfortable. Luckily because I was there with the kids we were sorted into the kid group and there wasn't too much walking, but we still did manage to see an awesome number of bugs so they had a great time.


Last worn: floral duster, yellow tassel necklace, blue tank, Bermuda denim shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: floral duster and skirt, blue tank and printed jeans, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, Sketchers and linen shorts, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and dress.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

While I didn't need the navy tie dye duster for sun protection on my shoulders like I did with the floral cover up in the first photo, I still love the combination of a printed cover up with a plain tank. This turquoise one works well with other shades of blue and I really liked it with the tie dye cover up and the blue denim shorts. 

Again I went matchy-matchy with the yellow accessories, the same Rebeccaa Minkoff mini 5-zip bag, and this yellow beaded necklace. Even added a little yellow hair tie to further match. I like yellow and blue together.

It was a bit of a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and a couple appointments for the kids in the afternoon. I liked this outfit for keeping me cool and comfortable for all the running around.


Last worn: navy tie dye cover up, yellow necklace, turquoise tank, denim shorts, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tie dye cover up and jeans, turquoise tank and maxi skirt, denim shorts in thrifted outfit, braided sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and skirt.

Navy Striped Shift Dresses With Little Red Bag

Two similar striped shift dresses I wore to the office recently, with a little extra colour from my red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

It was a foggy start to the morning as you can see in the background, but after I got into the office the fog was lifting and it turned into a really warm day. I was able to take the scarf off in the afternoon as I didn't need it for school pick up.

With the red heart print scarf I wanted to be a little matchy-matchy, and this little red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag was a great match. With the gold hardware on the bag I added the gold glitter earrings for more matching too. I really liked this outfit, this navy and black striped dress is a great neutral that always works with any accessories.


Last worn: resin glitter earrings, heart print scarf, navy striped shift dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag.

Other ways to wear: heart print scarf and maxi dress, navy striped shift dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy striped shift dress in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Another day in the office, another striped shift dress! This one was a $1 opshop find and I'm certainly getting great value from that spend! It's surprisingly the first time I've worn this dress and the little red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag together before, it seems like such an obvious combo as red looks so good with navy and white.

Added my white leather Converse (also an opshop find!) as they are a great matchy-matchy choice, and added the blue toned necklace. I really like statement necklaces with this dress, it's such a good backdrop to wear them against with the navy and white stripes. I also felt it made the dress a little less casual, as we had an event on in the office so there were a lot of people in.


Last worn: navy white striped shift dress, blue toned necklace, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy white striped shift dress and pink, white Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

Thrifted Printed Dresses And Purple Paraty Bag

Two more summer-ish outfits, with these thrifted printed dresses. I wore these at the end of winter, when Brisbane forgot about spring and swapped to hot and humid summer temps. It was nice to get these dresses out without all the layers!

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: thrifted Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals (recent purchase)
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Wore this for working from home with the school run, and watching my son get some awards at school. It was such a got day so this light floral dress was ideal for the humidity. It was a good chance to wear these sandals for the first time too. I thrifted them back in July, when it was firmly winter in Brisbane, and I've been waiting for a chance to the weather to warm up to wear them. They are very cute and comfortable.

With the light floral dress, wooden beaded necklace and bracelets, the purple Paraty seemed a bit dark with all the lighter colours and neutrals, but I'm so glad I picked this bag. It works well with the colours in the floral print of the dress and it fit all the essentials plus my camera for taking photos at the award ceremony.

Also, with the Chloe Paraty bag being a preloved buy, everything I'm wearing in this outfit except the bracelets is a second hand purchase!


Last worn: floral dress, neutral beaded necklace, wooden bracelets, Chloe purple Paraty bag. First time I've worn the sandals as they were a winter opshop find.

Other ways to wear: floral dress and blazer, Chloe purple Paraty bag and jeans.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Dress: thrifted no label blue checked smock sundress
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Like the sandals above, this dress was also a winter opshop find. I did try layer it up for the colder weather but it didn't really work. I much more enjoyed this way of wearing it. It was a super hot day and we headed out to a local festival. Lots of walking and time in the sunshine, so this light and floaty smock dress was perfect. I added the Sketchers sneakers for comfort for my knee injury when walking, and I have to confess I liked the matchy-matchy with the blues in the grid print of the dress and the blue beaded necklace.

Again I wore my Chloe purple Paraty bag. I like it with blues and just like in the first outfit, it fits all the essentials and then a little extra so I had space for water bottles as well.


Last worn: blue beaded necklace, checked smock dress, navy Sketchers, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: checked smock dress and winter layers, navy Sketchers and shorts, Chloe purple Paraty bag and skirt.
