Floral Print Dresses with Rebecca Minkoff Love Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing some fun floral print dresses I tried a little something different with, with mixed results.


What I wore:

Kmart teal floral midi dress for night out with tan ankle boots peach rebecca minkoff small love bag | awayfromblue blog

Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral with teal floral dress | awayfromtheblue


NecklaceTiffany diamonds by the yard necklace layered with engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
BagRebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral


Why I wore it:

I wasn't sure how this little peachy Rebecca Minkoff small love bag would work with the Kmart teal floral midi dress, but thought it might be a fun combination. Turns out I love orange and green together, I think the little peach bag was the perfect pop against the teal and white floral print! So glad I gave this a go.

Only needed a tiny little bag as I wore this for a night out. It was really fun! A local mum setup a Facebook group where we can attend events with other local mums, and with no Covid cases around in Brisbane at the time I decided to go along to an event. It was a really good night. Good company, good food, and I even won a lucky door prize with a tee from a local company. Looking forward to attending another event next month too!

These tan ankle boots go with so much and I really like wearing them with this dress. Because they have the tiniest heel they weren't worn much over winter as I try to stick with supportive shoes for my knee injury, but on a night with a lot of sitting around they were perfect.

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
DressAtmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:

It's not the first time I've worn these white chunky sneakers with this cute green floral tee dress, I really like the combination! And I've worn cardigans with it in the past too, but it's the first time I've tried this long navy waterfall cardigan with the dress. Not entirely sure it worked, but it did keep me warmer than the denim jacket I'd planned to wear would have! It was a cold start to a busy morning so I changed to this cardigan before we left and while it wasn't needed when the day heated up I appreciated it in the morning. We had the school run, and appointment for the little one in the city, and sports class for him again before school pickup time.

I thought this cobalt Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag would be nice with the green on the dress, and I liked it with the navy cardigan too. Nice and colourful for spring! I think either a different cardigan or less chunky sneakers would have made this outfit a little better though, although I did like the colours together!


How You Can Wear It:

A brightly coloured bag can be a fun pop of colour with a green floral print dress. Green and blue always work well together in any shades, and peach or orange is an unexpected but cute combination that really works.

Stripe Dresses, Skull Scarves, Leather Jacket and Converse With Magenta Edie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sticking with my tried and true outfit formulas: stripe dresses and skull scarves with leather jackets and converse. And my little Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag in magenta for a pop of colour.


What I wore:

striped tee dress with cobalt leather jacket pastel skull scarf and magenta Edie crossbody bag | awayfromblue

white and navy striped tee dress with Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta | awayfromtheblue



JacketWittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
ScarfAlexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta


Why I wore it:

This outfit was one I wanted to wear to fix the issues I felt last time I wore this dress. It was an okay outfit then but everything didn't come together the way I hoped it would last time I wore it. So this time, I stuck with lots of blue! My favourite colour. All the different shades of it with the pastel blue skull scarf, cobalt jacket and sky blue converse all work so well together. I love this magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag with the different shades of blue too.

I really liked this outfit a lot more than the last one - and there was no lockdown announcement when I wore the dress this time which was guaranteed to make me feel good! Instead it was the school run, taking Cooper to the groomers, a quick stop at Kmart to pickup a present for a birthday party, and returning all those lockdown books we borrowed to the library. We had so many books to return as I let the kids go a little crazy last time and borrow as many as they liked!

While this is exactly the same outfit formula as the last time I wore this dress, the different pieces and colour scheme really made a huge difference to this for me. Something so simple about copying a previous outfit and just changing up the pieces.





Unlike the colourful outfit above I kept this fairly monochrome with the black and white striped dress, black leather jacket and black Converse All Star. The colourful accessories were a good way to brighten this up a bit.

The black leather jacket was definitely a bit much with this tee dress in the afternoon though - it was a gloriously warm day and it wasn't needed for our library run. I appreciated it in the cooler morning on the school run though, was a little chilly and good to have those extra layers.

Unfortunately I managed to spill hand sanitiser over the back of this cute little Edie bag when trying to get the phone out the back pocket to get a phone call, after I'd just put sanitiser on my hands. Hand sanitiser and leather don't mix well and it's now missing a chunk of colour on the back of the bag where the sanitiser landed. Could have been worse though, at least it isn't the front of the bag!


Last worn: black leather jacket, cobalt skull scarf, black and white stripe tee dress, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and maxi skirt, cobalt skull scarf and little black dress, black and white stripe tee dress with purple, black Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.



How You Can Wear It:

Striped dresses are a staple wardrobe basic! You can layer them up with lots of bright accessories to add more colour to an outfit. Make it easy by adding just two extra colours like I have here with pink and blue. A magenta bag goes with every shade of blue!

Striped Tee Dresses With Snoods and Denim Jackets: Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing what I wore when I layered up some striped tee dresses with denim jackets and cosy printed snoods for winter, back in June.


What I wore:

Converse, navy white striped tee dress, denim jacket, jean mac bag | awayfromblue

white stripe tee dress with Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig  | away from blue



Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
ScarfSeed Heritage Paisley print snood
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit, although I wish it had been worn on a better day! I love this navy and white striped midi dress with pink bags, I've worn it with a neon pink bag before, and I really liked this pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag with it too. This paisley print snood is a firm favourite and print mixes with stripes well, and it's so very cosy.

Because this is a long sleeved dress, the denim jacket was just the right layer to wear on top to keep me warm. It was a milder day and I had a lot of running around to do as well so I didn't feel the cold much.

After the school run we had to take Cooper to the vet. We were able to pick him up later in the afternoon, after I'd picked up my son from school. Sadly, it wasn't good news that afternoon as the tests confirmed that he has heart problems. Luckily they think he will still live a long life but still not the all-clear we had been hoping for.


Last worn: silver earrings, moto denim jacket, paisley print snood, white midi stripe tee dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearmoto denim jacket and maxi dress, paisley print snood with navy blouse, white midi stripe tee dress and skull scarf, blue Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: paisley print snood in second trimester.

ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag


Why I wore it:

This was a much more fun day than the one above! Jess had invited me to a little Arbonne session she had with a friend - she sells Arbonne products so I thought I'd go along and see what it was all about. With the promise of trying out a 5 step skin routine and some makeup it was going to be a relaxing spa-like morning away from the kids! 😂 I didn't buy anything but still had a good time.

Kept my outfit simple following a similar formula as the one above: with a navy striped tee dress, white denim jacket this time, and ankle boots instead of Converse, as I felt they were a bit dressier. This pretty pastel print floral snood was a Christmas present from a friend and I'm so pleased I was able to give it a wear! Decided to go with my little emerald green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag to compliment the greens in the scarf too. Really liked the different shades of green with this navy striped dress.


How You Can Wear It:

Long sleeved tee dresses like this are a great option when the weather starts to cool, and easy to layer up with a classic denim jacket. Adding a scarf or snood lets you add more colour and print to your outfit too, as well as a little extra warmth on a winter day.

Floral Dresses, Sneakers And Rebecca Minkoff Regan Bag: Weekday Wear Link Up

Easy autumn outfits I wore recently that would work just as well for spring! Floral dresses, sneakers, statement earrings, and my navy Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag.


What I wore:

floral tee dress, Rebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon | awayfromtheblue

awayfromblue Instagram | floral print tee dress chunky sneakers dangly earrings rebecca minkoff regean bag

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
DressAtmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon


Why I wore it:

I really love this little floral tee dress! It goes with everything, being such a fun mix of colours in the print, and it's perfect on a warm day. While I wore it quite a bit when my eldest was a tiny baby, as the boys turned into toddlers it got worn less. Now they are a bit older and I'm not crawling around on the floor with them as much, this will certainly get more wear!

I wore comfortable chunky platform sneakers with this for a little bit of running around I had to do, to support my knee but I wanted to dress it up a little for the school run so I added the statement earrings. The gold and turquoise go so well with the green dress with all the blue in the print. And this navy Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag is something I've worn with the dress in the past too, it's a nice combination.

This did end up being slightly overdressed for the days activities though! The plan was the school run, picking up some clothes I had altered at the tailors, and a quick stop at Woollies for more bread. I got up, got dressed and ready and started getting the kids ready. Then it quickly became clear that my eldest wasn't well enough for school. With his desperate pleas to go to the playground on the way home from our contactless pickup at the tailor I started to doubt how unwell he really was...but I still wasn't going to take him to a crowded playground just in case. We compromised and ended up visiting one of our favourite local trails instead, where we rarely if ever see other people during the week. I was definitely overdressed for that though 😂 Nice outfit, just not the most sensible choice for the very quiet day and little hike through the bush we ended up having.


Last worn: turquoise tassel earrings, floral tee dress, chunky platform sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Regan tote.

30 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Regan

Dress: Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon


Why I wore it:

This was a very busy day! After the school run we had a really important appointment for my son which I'd been stressing about for a while, so I wore a lot of colour to keep myself cheerful! Thankfully, even after stopping at the library after the school run to get some books for him to read on the slightly long drive, we made it in perfect time and the appointment went well. Probably not the best earring choice though - an anxious 4 year old loves to tug on the tassels when he's in my lap and I ended up removing the earrings halfway through the appointment to save my earlobes 😂

It was a particularly hot and humid day so perhaps the blue tee knotted over this coral floral print maxi dress wasn't the best idea as it made my outfit even warmer, but I'd been wanting to try this colourful pairing for a while and knew it would be the perfect touch of colour to boost my mood, even if it was slightly too warm outside.


Last worn: navy tassel earrings, beaded necklaceblue tee, floral maxi dress, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff Regan (above).

Other ways to wearblue tee and shorts, floral maxi dress layered for winter, Adidas Superstar and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Regan and sheath dress.



How You Can Wear It:
Floral dresses with lots of bright colours in the print can go with anything! You can dress them down a little with a pair of sneakers, or even throw a tee over the top. A neutral navy bag like this Rebecca Minkoff Regan is a good accessory pairing as it won't clash with any colours in the print.
