Why I wore it:

I picked up this navy and white floral print tiered maxi dress in the Salty Crush sale recently and I love wearing it! The long sleeves are great for cooler weather, and it has pockets! It layered up nicely with the denim trench and Chloe Paddington bag. Both the trench and bag have been getting so much wear recently, they are trench is perfect for the cooler weather before it gets too cold in Brisbane and I replace it with thicker trench coats.

With all the blue from the denim and the navy print on the dress, I added a little extra colour with the purple resin floral statement earrings. I really liked them with this dress!

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: star print pashmina
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

Again, a tiered dress, this denim trench, some sneakers and my Chloe Paddington bag. While the dark chocolate brown went nicely with the blues in the above outfit, I really loved it against the orange of this Kmart tiered dress! As it was a cooler morning and I'd planned to wear this bag I knew this brown star print pashmina would be a great accessory. Although the brown stars are not a perfect match to the deep brown of the bag, I like the combination and I've worn a lot of brown bags with this scarf in the past!

The cosy pashmina was much needed as it was a cooler day than the one above, winter weather is definitely here in Brisbane.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and jeans, star print pashmina and cardigan, amber tiered midi dress worn two ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Chloe Paddington bag and skirt.

Pink Kmart Dresses With Denim Trench Coat and Navy Scarves

Layering up two fuchsia pink Kmart dresses for winter office days with this denim trench, blue bags, and navy printed scarves.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy diamond print scarf
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

I really like the way these fuchsia earrings match the fuchsia pink of this Kmart tiered midi dress! They are the perfect pair and it was so nice to wear them together. It was a cooler morning so I layered up for the commute with this denim trench coat that's been a staple recently, and had to add a scarf as well. I like the navy of this one against the pink dress and blue denim of the trench coat.

I added another shade of blue with this Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag, and then comfortable sneakers. I did wish on my way to work that I'd worn boots though, proper winter cold weather is here in Brisbane and bare ankles wasn't the nicest in the cold breeze, especially just with this light denim trench.

Unfortunately I managed to roll my chair over this trench at the office and tore a massive hole in it! Easily repaired, but I'm on the look-out now for a pretty patch to disguise the repair.


Last worn: denim trench coat, fuchsia earrings, navy diamond print scarf, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and floral dress, navy diamond print scarf and orange, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress and blazer, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and white geo print tassel scarf
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I dressed much more warmly on this day, another cooler day I was up early for the commute to work. Again I wore the denim trench coat with this linen Kmart dress. I've layered it up for winter before, despite being linen it's not impossible to wear through the year as it layers so well. I added leggings, and ankle boots this time instead of sneakers. With the denim trench I still needed an extra layer so I went with this pretty navy and white tile print scarf. I really liked the colour of it against the fuchsia pink dress, and again with the blue of the denim trench.

I wore this little Rebecca Minkoff croc embossed Love Too bag, I've been reaching for it a lot lately. It's the perfect size for the essentials I need to take to work as I have my laptop in a work issued bag, and it goes with everything being a neutral shade.


Last worn: denim trench (above), tile print scarf, linen Kmart dress, ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench and florals, tile print scarf and jeans, linen Kmart dress and kimono, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and shorts.

Pink and Black Jeans and Tee Outfits With Love Too Bag

Two very different black and pink jeans and tee outfits, with patterned cover ups and my Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

It was good to get this cosy knit out again! The perfect topper to keep me warm for a day with the school run, working from home and a quick errand in the afternoon. I always enjoy getting this knitted poncho out each winter, it's like wearing a giant blanket really! The black and white pattern adds a nice bit of an interest to any outfit I wear it with, and it is warm enough so I just needed a plain tee underneath.  Added a little colour with the pink frayed hem Zara jeans, an opshop find.

The necklace doesn't have any pink in it but I liked the simplicity of it against the textures white tee and the pastel orange was a nice colour worn with the pastel pink jeans.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff ruana, beaded necklace, textured white tee, pink frayed hem jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. 

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff ruana worn 2 ways, textured white tee and shorts, pink frayed hem jeans and jumper, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress.

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and packing up for and driving the boys to camp in the evening.

Of course by the time we left for camp I'd swapped the light floral waterfall jacket for a cosier hoodie, but during the day this light jacket was all I needed. I liked the bright burst of colour it added to the monochromatic grey tee and black skinny jeans outfit. The turquoise wooden necklace and deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag were nice accessories to add a little more colour too.

Red Maxi Dresses, Denim Jackets and Blue Bags

Red maxi dresses with denim jackets, sneakers and blue bags for some rainy autumn days in Brisbane recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Colette blue mixed shape faux crystal drop earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

Wore this out to church on Mother's Day. They had a photo booth setup so I could get a cute family pic, and so I picked this pretty printed dress to wear and added the new crystal statement earrings I'd picked up on sale a day earlier. The denim jacket was much needed to keep me warm and dry in this spaghetti strap maxi dress. Then with the blue statement earrings and the pale blue denim jacket, the blue beaded necklace seemed like an obvious matchy-matchy choice. The navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag isn't a match to any of the shades of blue in this outfit, but I felt it was a good neutral and continued the blue theme well.

I had a lovely Mother's day, and I enjoyed the things the kids made and bought me, I was very spoiled.


Last worn: denim jacket, blue beaded necklace, geometric print maxi dress, Nike sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford. First time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket, geometric print maxi dress and tote bag, Nike sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a much busier day, with a day out in the city with family, finally getting on the Brisbane wheel. I've never been on it before, I'm not really a fan of heights, but at least I can say I've done it now! It was another rainy day which explains my hair, and meant I needed to carry an umbrella around, although thankfully the rain dried up for a few hours in the afternoon so we could enjoy our time in the city. We even got a bit of shopping in!

Again I went with a denim jacket over this red dress to keep me warm, it was just right, especially when the sun came out later in the afternoon. I went with the faux pearl necklace to match the pearl earrings, and yet another blue bag, my periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty. It's a good bag for the essentials plus an extra like an umbrella, it fits a lot!

I wore sneakers again, my comfortable Sketchers, as we had a lot of walking planned. It was such a good day.


Last worn: denim jacket, pearl earrings, faux pearl necklace, red tiered midi dress, Sketchers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket, red tiered midi dress and leather jacket, Sketchers, Chloe Paraty bag with yellow.

Orange Tiered Dresses and Yellow Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag

Two orange tiered dresses, both with sneakers and yellow accessories for recent office days. Even though both dresses are different shades of orange, the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag compliments both shades nicely.

What I wore:

Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I headed into the office after the school drop off, and then was back in the city again for a later afternoon appointment for my son after school. I picked this cute orange tiered linen dress to wear as it was a warm day, and I wanted to be comfortable for the driving around as well as the time in the office and at the appointment in the afternoon. The Nike sneakers were a good choice for all the driving as well.

I've worn yellow with this orange dress before, but this time I went all out with the yellow accessories! yellow tassel earrings and tassel necklace as well as the yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Last worn: tassel earrings, yellow tassel necklace, orange tiered linen dress, Nike sneakers, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.
 
Other ways to wear: orange tiered linen dress and denim jacket, Nike sneakers and shorts, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and red skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

Unlike the day above, this was a bit cooler and rainy so I opted for a longer dress to keep my legs covered. Just like in the first outfit, I went with a lot of yellow accessories, with this cute thrifted necklace with the yellow stones and beads matching the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. I wore my Adidas sneakers as a nice closed in option for the impending rain, but luckily I had managed to time my commute so that I missed all of the rain. I got into the office before it started and it stopped for a bit in the afternoon as I made my way home.

While it was a little cooler in the autumn morning I enjoyed getting another wear of this midi dress without a jacket - it will be jackets every day soon as it's getting cooler each morning.

Last worn: Mimco fleur stud earrings, yellow pendant necklace, orange tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: orange tiered midi dress and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and shorts.

Printed Dresses and Sneakers With Rebecca Minkoff Mini Darren Messenger Bag

While it is officially autumn in Brisbane, some days have still felt very summer like! So I took advantage of the warmer temps to wear some simple printed dresses and sneakers with my little olive Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren messenger bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

It was such a hot and humid day when I wore this dress - it's a very light and comfortable tiered sundress that I thrifted a while ago and I enjoy it every time I wear it. It was the perfect style for such a warm day. I had the school run and working from home to do, and we took the opportunity to check in on some neighbours we hadn't seen earlier post cyclone too, now that all the roads were clear, and make sure they were doing okay after the damage to their properties.

Because I had a bit of walking around to do I wore these super comfortable Nike Court Royale sneakers. I liked how they matched the white in the background of the dress. The olive Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag doesn't match anything in my outfit, but I liked the contrast of the orange and olive together.


Last worn: metallic faux pearl necklace, palm print tiered sundress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: palm print tiered sundress and denim jacket, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Dress: All About Eve striped black tee dress 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun weekend! We had a couple of errands to run to get some Scout stuff for the kids, but we also had a wildlife show to attend which the kids and I loved. It's so fun getting to see them get up close and personal with all the amazing native animals we have around Brisbane!

As it was a hot day I went with this simple striped shift dress, originally from my sisters wardrobe, it's a firm favourite of mine in the warmer months. I added a little colour to it with the tassel earrings and the blue Converse - although not matching shades of blue I liked them both together with the black and white stripes of the dress. The olive Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag was another way to add more colour to the outfit, and with the statement earrings I didn't feel the need to add a necklace to this outfit.

Last worn: tassel earrings, gunmetal bracelet stack, striped shift dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag (above).

Other ways to wear: striped shift dress and purple, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and shorts.

Tiered Midi Dresses With Court Royale Sneakers And Aqua Mini MAC Bag

Wearing my Kmart tiered midi dresses again! I love how colourful these are, and they make such an easy outfit for office days when paired with my Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and Nike Court Royale sneakers.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

We had a themed event at work over lunch so I had to wear something red, and this coral tiered midi dress was the obvious choice. it's a firm favourite, and the third of this dress that I bought from Kmart! I haven't worn it as much as the other two I own but I'm confident I'll hit 30 wears with this one at one point as I reach for it a lot. It was nice to be matching my colleagues who had also picked dresses to wear for the event too.

I surprisingly hadn't worn this little aquamarine mini MAC bag with the coral dress before. I like the pop of colour it adds, then I had to go matchy-matchy with the mint silicone necklace. It's not an exact match to the more aqua colour of the bag but they are nice accessories together.


Last worn: stud earrings, silicone necklace, coral tiered midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tiered midi dress and leather jacket, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, aqua mini MAC bag and jeans.

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

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 
 

Why I wore it:

Another office day, and another tiered midi dress. This one is inching closer to 30 wears, but still hasn't hit that figure yet, which always surprises me when I check my blog archives as I feel I reach for this a lot.

Although the amber orange dress is a very different colour from the coral one I wore in the outfit above, I felt that the aqua mini MAC was also a great accessory with this. I wore the same Nike Court Royale sneakers, they are really comfortable when running up and down stairs between meeting rooms and I like sneakers and dresses together. Instead of going matchy-matchy with the necklace like I did above, I wore this cute multi chain heart charm necklace, that was overdue another wear. Just like with the first outfit, I felt this was perfect for a day in the office.


Last worn: Mimco earrings, charm necklace, orange tiered midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: orange tiered midi dress worn 2 ways, Nike Court Royale sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and jeans.

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

Floral Print Dresses And Denim Tote Bag

Two more dress outfits with this upcycled Re-Up denim tote bag, that's been on frequent repeat lately. Last time I wore this bag with dresses it was with block colour linen tiered dresses, but in this post I'm sharing when I wore it with floral dresses.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag

Why I wore it:

This was another warm day at the end of summer, I wore this for another day off I had to continue to care for my son as he recovered from surgery. After the school run for my other son, we had a doctor's appointment, and then just relaxed at home again until it was time to pick my son up from school, and we had my parents over in the afternoon.

This light floral print dress is such a fun one to wear, it was a lucky $1 opshop find and can be worn with anything. This blue denim upcycled tote bag was a good pairing with it as I needed a big tote for our water bottles and some books to read to pass time in the doctor's waiting room. I wore the blue Converse for a little matchy-matchy, although they are different shades of blue I liked both blue accessories with the peachy-pink floral print in the dress.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, floral print babydoll dress, faux pearl bracelet stack, blue Converse, Re-UP upcycled denim tote bag.

Other ways to wear: floral print babydoll dress with purple, blue Converse and skirt, Re-UP upcycled denim tote bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies blue and natural wooden bead bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag

Why I wore it:

This was a return to school for my son after he got clearance post-surgery, and a returning to working from home for me. I wanted to be comfortable in the heat, it was still so hot near the end of summer! So I wore this cute green floral print dress that was overdue a wear. For something a little different I added the red dinosaur earrings. They are a nice match with the red in the floral print on the dress.

I've worn this dress with red a few times in the past, and you can see them all in my 30 ways to wear post with this green floral dress. While I just had the school run and then working from home, I didn't need to carry a lot with me. But I still wore this fun denim tote bag as it's so enjoyable to wear!


Last worn: dinosaur earrings, green floral shift dress, turquoise bracelet stack, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Re-UP upcycled denim tote bag (above).

Grey Tees and Black and White Printed Maxi Skirts

Two different grey tee outfits, both with black and white maxi skirts. The first outfit is a little more colourful than the second outfit as I added some pink. Pink always looks good with neutrals, in any shade.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart pink multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus pink and gold bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

When I put on this grey tee with the pink back panel I thought it would add a nice touch of colour to this black and white vertical striped maxi skirt. But then I decided the outfit needed a little more pink and started adding pink accessories. The pink Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and the pink bracelet stack and the pink beaded necklace don't match the bright pink panel on the tee at all, but I actually liked all the different shades with this. Neutrals like grey and black and white are a nice excuse to try add some differently coloured accessories, and it's nice there were all in the pink family.

Wore this for a quiet day, with the school run and working from home.

Last worn: grey tee with pink panel, pink beaded necklace, bracelet stack, vertical stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wear: grey tee with pink panel and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee with pink panel in third trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Another grey tee and black and white maxi skirt outfit. This grey tee is a bit darker, and with the black and white maxi skirt again I decided to add a little colour. This darker geometric beaded necklace seemed like a nice touch of colour with all the neutrals. I liked the longer sleeves on this tee to keep me warm in the colder aircon too.

Comfortable Converse sneakers were perfect with this and I liked the matchy-matchy with the black and white skirt. My son had surgery and an overnight stay in the hospital. I had an overnight bag packed, but the big Louis Vuitton Neverfull was perfect for a few things to entertain him and myself in the wait before surgery for him and the during surgery wait for me.

I wore this a couple weeks ago, he's at home now and healing well.


Last worn: grey tunic tee, geometric beaded necklace, black and white maxi skirt, black Converse, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

Other ways to wear: grey tunic tee and jeans, black and white maxi skirt with pink, black Converse and shorts, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

Note: we are in the direct path of Cyclone Alfred, this is a pre-scheduled post. We had time to prepare our home the best we could, and I have a few posts scheduled as I don't know what the impact will have been as I type this.
