Navy Dresses And Cobalt Jumbo Love Bag

Two working from home days with some appointments for the kids had me reaching for easy and comfortable dresses. Both these navy dresses I accessorised with statement thrifted necklace, and my cobalt blue Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love bag. I like wearing different shades of blues together, and cobalt and navy are a great combo!


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
DressAtmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:

I had an early start to my work day at home as I had to take my son to an appointment just before school started. As it was a little cooler in the autumn morning I wore this long sleeved navy and black striped shift dress. I did wish in the afternoon I hadn't worn something quite so cosy, when the sun came out!

I did like this outfit otherwise though - was nice for the appointment and comfortable for working at my desk the rest of the time. I like the cobalt of the Jumbo Love bag against the navy and black stripes, and the beaded necklace adds a nice contrasting bit of colour with the burgundy beads and neutral natural wood beads.

What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:

Another work from home and appointment day, another navy dress! This tiered one from Kmart is the best as it has pockets! Not that I needed the pockets with the jumbo love bag, it has enough space for all of my essentials and more.

With the cobalt blue and the navy tiered dress, again I felt like I needed a little extra colour, so I added this thrifted orange necklace for an extra pop. I really like orange and blue. Just added the tan slides for being comfortable - after school pick up I had to take the kids for an appointment but I didn't have to drive far.


Last worn: navy tiered dress, orange necklace, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love bag (above).

Pink Kmart Dresses In The Office With Blue Mini MAC Bag

Two very similar outfits I wore to work recently, both with Kmart fuchsia pink dresses and my little blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag.


What I wore:




Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

Surprisingly, despite loving blue and pink together, I haven't worn this sky blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag with this fuchsia pink tiered midi dress before. It seems like such an obvious combo! It was good to give it a wear, and to wear something bright for another day in the office.

Added some comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers too, which were a very practical choice as it ended up being a pretty rainy day. Thankfully the big work issued bag I have for my work laptop has plenty space for an umbrella.


Last worn: Kmart tiered midi dress, navy tassel necklace, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wearKmart tiered midi dress and yellow, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and shorts.





What I wore:




Necklace: Gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dressthrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the combination of the fuchsia pink dress with the little bluey-grey Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in the outfit above, I repeated it again a few days later! 

This Kmart linen blend dress was an opshop find and I really like it with blue. Even though the blue Converse sneakers aren't the same shade as the little mini MAC bag I liked the two blues together, and I've worn these Converse with this dress many times before. Added the gold beaded statement necklace to dress it up a little more for the office. Just like the two different blues, I think the two different golds in the necklace and on the hardware and strap of the bag still work together, despite being different.

This dress is one that makes me smile even if I am just wearing it into the office!


Last worn: Kmart linen dress, gold statement necklace, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag (above).

Belted Printed Dresses With Converse and Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Getting two pretty printed dresses out again that hadn't been worn in a while. While both are very different in style, colour and print, they both work so well for a day in the office. And my little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag compliments each of them nicely!


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Aztec print dress
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

I'm not sure why I haven't hit 30 wears with this dress yet - it was such an office staple pre-pandemic! It's been a little neglected lately so it was good to get it out again. Despite the darker navy and black in the print, I thought the light blue Converse would be a good accessory with it and I liked the combination. Dressed this up a little with some gold accessories - the pretty glitter belt always gets compliments! And much like the dress, this statement necklace hasn't been worn in a while either and was overdue another wear. Was good to get them both out again!

I did have a lunch date in the city during the work day, but still didn't need to carry much, especially as I have a big work issued laptop bag I take to the office with me. So this little Polene Numero Neuf mini bag was all I needed for carrying the essentials. And I really like the pastel lilac against the navy of the ikat print on the dress.


Last worn: ikat print dress, gold 5 station necklace, gold glitter belt, blue Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wearikat print dress and scarf, blue Converse and midi skirt, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and leopard print.

What I wore:





Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

Another printed dress for the office. This one comes with it's own long sash belt in the same fabric as the dress, but I did really like the glitter belt with the dress above so maybe I should have tried the glitter belt with this dress too! Something to remember for next time I wear it. The pink resin earrings are something I've worn with this dress in the past, as are the black Converse which go with everything.

I like pink and blue and purple together, so with the light pink and blue in the wisteria floral print of the dress the little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag again seemed like a great accessory. And I loved the dress and bag together, one of those perfect combinations! Like the earrings and Converse, I'm going to have to wear this bag again with this dress in future!


Last worn: pink resin earrings, Tiffany necklace, Kmart wisteria print midi dress, black Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wearKmart wisteria print midi dress and floral bag, black Converse and pencil skirt, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and shorts.

Pink and Blue Outfits With Linen Shorts and Julian Nylon Backpack

With my cousin visiting Brisbane, we took advantage of the lovely weather on the weekend to visit a couple of theme parks. Kept my outfits simple, with my thrifted Kmart linen shorts. They are great for the heat.


What I wore:



Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

Because it was going to be a hot day with a lot of walking I knew I wanted to wear these turquoise linen shorts. Wasn't sure what to wear them with though then I saw this kimono hanging up in my wardrobe. With the navy background and the pink and turquoise chevron prints it was so easy to go matchy-matchy and add a pink tee to this outfit. I really liked all of this together! The navy beaded necklace and navy Sketchers matched the cover up as well, and although the cobalt nylon Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack doesn't match any of the blues in this outfit I thought it complimented them nicely. Plus the backpack was such a practical choice for toting around snacks and water bottles for us all.


Last worn: chevron print cover up, navy beaded necklace, pink tee, turquoise linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Other ways to wearchevron print cover up with black and white, pink tee and skirt, turquoise linen shorts and graphic tee, Sketchers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and green.







What I wore:




NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Caroline Morgan navy embroidered tunic
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

Another day, another theme park! We headed to movie world and again I went with my comfortable Sketchers sneakers for all the walking, and the Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack for carrying everything we needed. I stuck with the pink and blue colour scheme too! These fuchsia pink Kmart linen shorts were also an opshop find and I really love them with the navy tunic top. I thought the embroidery was a really pretty detail and didn't feel the need to add a cover up to this with the shoulder cover from the tunic and because I expected to be in the shade most of the day waiting on ride lines.

We got a lot of rides in over the day, and I even got to go on Green Lantern that I've never tried before!


Last worn: navy embroidered tunic, Tiffany necklace, fuchsia pink linen shorts, Sketchers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack (above).

Other ways to wearnavy embroidered tunic and cardigan, fuchsia pink linen shorts and stripes, Sketchers and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and dress.

Pink and Leopard Print Outfits With Sorbet Balenciaga City Bag

Two different outfits for working from home days with added appointments thrown in. Both featuring pink and leopard print, a combination I really enjoy wearing! And my pretty sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag that was due another wear.


What I wore:





Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee:  Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable and easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and a physio appointment. Again, I went for shorts and tee, which has become a go-to outfit formula for me this year!

It's not the first time I've worn this leopard print cover up with pink, I really like the combination. But it's the first time I've worn this awesome super-soft pink tee with it. With the print from the cover up, plain shorts were needed and these cuffed distressed denim shorts go with everything.


Last worn: leopard print cover up, gold and silver necklace, pale pink teedistressed denim shorts, Sketchers, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

TeeCle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl and gold beaded bracelet stack
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

This was a very hot and humid day so I reached for this light skirt. It's a fun leopard print and it's great in the heat and humidity! Also nice and comfortable for the school run, working from home, a bit of driving around to take my son to an appointment, and the library after school. Big day!

I liked the simplicity of the ombre tee with the leopard skirt, I felt this outfit didn't need very much so I just added this little double strand beaded necklace and again my sorbet Balenciaga city bag. I like the different shades of pink together, with the ombre tee and the brighter pink on the Balenciaga bag.

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.

Other ways to wearred tee and turquoise, navy printed culotte shorts and cardiganLouis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

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.

Other ways to wearcoral tee and skirt, pastel print culotte shorts and cardigan, Sketchers and graphic tee, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and maxi dress.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
