Peach Floral Dresses, Anko Denim Trench, Converse and Chloe Ethel Bag

Wearing my Kmart denim trench coat yet again, with two very similar peachy-pastel print floral dresses, Converse and my Chloe Ethel bag. I do love repeating a good outfit formula!

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a busy day! Cooper had the vets in the morning, then I had a fun art class with friends, and used my mother's day gift to treat myself to a pamper session in the evening. So busy, but fun! It was a rainy start to the day so I did wonder if I should have worn boots instead of Converse, but thankfully the rain dried up quickly and it was really warm when the sun came out. I didn't even need my trench coat by lunch time. the long sleeves on this dress helped.

This was a great first wearing of this beautiful Jasse dress I picked up in the latest Salty Crush sale - it got a lot of compliments in art class and I thankfully avoided getting it dirty with the materials! It was such a delight to wear, and I'm so pleased I bought this dress, even if it does look a little similar to the dress I'm wearing below.


Last worn: denim trench coat, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. It's the first time I've shared the earrings on the blog and Jaase dress on the blog as they are recent purchases.
 
Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and black dress, brown Converse and jeans, Chloe Ethel bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Colette blue mixed shape faux crustal drop earrings
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Unlike the dress above that was an online sale purchase, this peachy pastel print floral dress is an opshop find! it's a lot cheaper, at just $1, and a slightly different set of colours and a babydoll waist style with much fewer buttons. I still think that when posted side by side like this in almost identical layers with this denim trench, the two dresses look every similar. I think there is certainly room for both in my wardrobe though!

This was a busy but less fun day, with another vet visit for Cooper, the school run, a couple of errands, and working from home. I knotted the tassel on this dress at the neckline as with the blue statement earrings I couldn't decide on a necklace. I like the way this dress looks tied up too, I'll need to try that with the tassels on the dress above also one day.


Last worn: crystal earrings, denim trench coat (above), floral babydoll dress, blue Converse, Chloe Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and midi dress, floral babydoll dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and jeans, Chloe Ethel bag and shorts.

Denim Dresses, Converse and Statement Bags

Two different tiered denim dress outfits I wore recently for Brisbane's autumn weather.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

It was the perfect autumn weather to give this dress another wear! Got it out again of wear to church, when it was a cooler morning but warmer in the afternoon when I had a few errands to run after church.

Again I wore my Chloe Paddington bag, it's been getting a lot of love lately and I really like wearing it with this little tiered denim dress. I went a bit matchy-matchy with the gold necklace, and the brown Converse, even though the browns are very different shades.


Last worn: charm necklace, tiered denim dress, brown Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wear: tiered denim dress and leather jacket, brown Converse and skirt, Chloe Paddington bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Chloe Paddington bag in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH

Why I wore it:

I wore the same brown Converse again with another denim dress, this tiered Kmart midi one. It's a much thicker denim and being a long maxi length on my petite self it was perfect for a milder autumn night. Hubby and I had a rare date night, dinner and a show at the Brisbane Comedy Festival. I didn't have to carry much, just my phone really, so took the excuse to take this pretty clutch out again.

Not the most practical choice for mum life, but it was a great clutch for our night out, even though I didn't have to carry more than my phone or wallet.

Added the statement earrings to try dress this outfit up a little, I really liked them with this dress, the statement earrings and bright studded clutch stopped it looking a little too casual I felt. And although I did consider taking a scarf for when it got dark later I'm glad I didn't as I didn't really need it, it was a nice warm night and the thick denim kept me warm enough.

Last worn: beaded statement earrings, tiered denim maxi dress, brown Converse (above), mangue Balenciaga envelope clutch.

Other ways to wear: tiered denim maxi dress and scarf, brown Converse and jeans, mangue Balenciaga envelope clutch and florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: mangue Balenciaga envelope clutch in third trimester.

Maxi Skirts, Denim Jackets and Chloe Bags

Two plain tee and maxi skirt outfits, topped with denim jackets and accessorised with Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper 
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful for working from home, with sports for the kids in the evenings. I like wearing maxi skirts as it is an extra cover on my legs from the inevitable mossie attack - no matter how much bug spray I cover myself in, ha!

This copper toned tee is really autumnal with the ochre orange maxi skirt. I like wearing this skirt with rust and red and burgundy shades, so I really loved this outfit. Especially with the brown Converse, gold statement necklace and the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag. It all felt perfect for a cooler autumn day.

Surprisingly it's the first time I've shared this denim jacket on the blog, a Christmas gift from the annual pre-Christmas opshopping day. It's a nice relaxed fit and will be perfect for layering under when the winter weather arrives here shortly in Brisbane.


Last worn: clay earrings, copper tee, circle necklace, ochre maxi skirt, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the denim jacket as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: copper tee and skirt, ochre maxi skirt and knit, brown Converse and animal print, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a mixed day, with the Anzac parade and ceremony in the morning (my boys were marching in the parade) and then a playdate for my son in the afternoon. Despite the rainy weather it wasn't too cold so I went for this maxi skirt to be neither over or underdressed for either occasion. I like the tie dye print on the skirt, although it's the first time I've worn this grey tee with it! I like pairing it with greys and neutrals so it was nice to give this combination a try.

I went with my Chloe Marcie bag to store all our water bottles plus the essentials, and then I chose this rose gold necklace. It's definitely not the true gold shade of the hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, but I like pairing different metals together, and thought this was a good accessory pair.


Last worn: stud earrings, denim jacket, rose gold necklace, grey tee, tie dye maxi skirt, blue Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, grey tee and jeans, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, blue Converse and shorts, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

Printed Maxi Dresses and Cream Chloe Small Paddington Bag

Being a bit behind with sharing what I wore on the blog, these are the outfits I wore for Easter with the family. We spent the day before Easter with my family down the coast, and then Easter Sunday at church in the morning and the in-laws in the afternoon.

What I wore:

Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Earrings: thrifted Lovisa red tassel earrings

Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus red Polka Luka resin bangle and thrifted cream resin bangle duo set
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Another wearing of this beautiful floral tiered maxi dress, for Easter Sunday morning at church, an egg hunt for the kids, and then over to the in-laws for Easter lunch.

It was a warmer day than I expected so I was able to go without a jacket which was nice, and wore these thrifted sandals. The red tassel earrings are a new with tags opshop find, and they are so perfect with the red floral print in this dress. I tried to be a little more matchy-matchy with the bangles too, the red resin one was a gift from a friend but the cream resin ones were also an opshop find.

While the Chloe small Paddington bag is more of a darker creamier almost beige colour, I still thought it went nicely with all the white in this outfit, and as I've been inspired to wear my Chloe Paddington bags again this was definitely overdue a spin. It's such a cute bag.

The only think I didn't like about this outfit was that my necklace snapped! Thankfully I caught the charm as well as the chain, and have already been to the jeweller to fix it. It's a super old necklace I've had for decades so I'm pleased it was able to be fixed.

Last worn: vintage initial necklace, cream resin bracelets, red resin bangle, Orange Sherbet floral tiered maxi dress, leopard print sandals, Chloe small Paddington bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Orange Sherbet floral tiered maxi dress for Christmas, leopard print sandals and skirt, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted Lovisa red tassel earrings
Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Again I couldn't resist going matchy-matchy with the print in this dress and the red tassel earrings! This was another Easter celebration, a day earlier down the coast with my family. I wanted to be comfortable and pulled together but also be able to run around with the kids as my mum always plans the most epic Easter egg hunts. And there is so much good food, I didn't want anything restrictive to wear. This geometric print maxi dress is a firm favourite, and was also, like the braided sandals, an opshop find.

Just like in the outfit above, the cream-toned small Chloe Paddington bag doesn't match anything in this outfit, but I liked it all the same. It's such a cute accessory. I did try match it a little with the rose gold necklace, I figured the gold hardware was far away enough from the necklace that you couldn't see the mismatch in the gold tones too much.


Last worn: red tassel earrings (above), rose gold filigree heart necklace, geometric print maxi dress, braided sandals, Chloe small Paddington bag (above).

Other ways to wear: geometric print maxi dress worn 2 ways, braided sandals and skirt, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.

Denim Skirts, Colourful Tees, Printed Layers and Grey MAB

Two colourful v-neck tees with printed cover ups, denim skirts, and my Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag that was overdue a wear.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets:  Mimco mini shimmy bracelet in bluebell
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for church in the morning, and a playdate for my son in the afternoon. When I bought this tee I thought of this printed cover up right away! The copper colour is so perfect with the orange and red in this cover up print, and I really liked the combination. I was glad this pairing turned out as well as I hoped it would when I saw the tee in the store.

I kept the rest of my outfit neutral, with the black sandals, black denim skirt, and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag. It's been a while since I wore this bag so it was good to get it out again.

Last worn: heart stud earrings, printed cover up, mixed metal necklace, black denim skirt, black sandals, Rebecca Minkoff MAB. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and jeans, black denim skirt and florals, black sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAB worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAB in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: Havaianas glitter Rosa Macaron
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busier weekend day, with a trip to the vets for Bonnie as it's coming up on a year after we adopted her and she was due her annual vaccines. The kids came along for support for her too, she was such a brave dog!

After the vets it was a few errands and getting some jewellery repaired, I'd been meaning to do it for a while so it was nice to find a local place. I even had time for a browse in my favourite opshop on the ay home, although I didn't score any new wardrobe items for me as I'd had a lot of success at the start of the month, I did pick up some books for the kids and I.

This pink tee is one I've hit 30 wears on, and I will really need to do a 30 ways to wear post on it soon, it's a firm favourite! I thought it added just the right amount of colour to the grey Nobody denim skirt and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag. The leopard print cocoon cardigan was nice and cosy, although I definitely didn't need it later in the afternoon as it warmed up into such a warm day.


Last worn: silver circle earrings, leopard cardigan, faux pearl necklace, pink tee, grey nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAB (above).

Other ways to wear: leopard cardigan and jeans, pink tee and shorts, grey nobody Denim skirt with yellow, Rebecca Minkoff MAB and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAB in third trimester.

Red Printed Dresses With Chloe Marcie Shoulder Bag

Two long and colourful red printed dresses for a weekend of kids birthday parties recently. With both red dresses I wore my medium Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a birthday party at our local indoor play place. It was very loud, as it was a wet day so the entire area had been booked out and there were a lot of kids running around! But the kids had fun and that was the main thing.

Wore this pretty Kmart coral printed wrap dress as it was overdue another wear - I like the cheerful coral shade and dresses are an easy go to for me for any event as I don't have to think too hard about my outfit, one and done!

I had the kids water bottles as well so the Chloe Marcie bag was perfect as it fits all my essentials and more.


Last worn: initial necklace, coral red print wrap dress, tan slides, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: coral red print wrap dress for Christmas, tan slides and jeans, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and skirt.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage charm bracelet
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Another weekend day, another birthday party! It was a really hot and humid day so I went for this pretty tiered maxi dress, it's nice on warm days. And after I wore it for Christmas I'm challenging myself to wear it more often, I love it every time I do wear it so it doesn't make sense to "save" it for special occasions. We had a birthday party in the morning and then I attended an event at church. This floral dress met the garden event theme perfectly!

Again I wore the Chloe Marcie shoulder bag, and went a little matchy-matchy with the tan sandals. As in the first outfit, they don't match the bag exactly, but I like the different shades of brown together with the red printed dress.


Last worn: floral earrings, Tiffany heart necklace, Orange Sherbet floral maxi dress, braided sandals, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Orange Sherbet floral maxi dress worn 2 ways, braided sandals and skirt, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and jeans.

Blue Tees, A-Line Skirts and Black Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody Bag

Wearing blue tees and a-line skirts with my little black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag recently.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette shadow dancer geo circle tassel drop earrings
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Felt like it had been a while since I'd worn this skirt, and the rust coloured linen is so perfect for autumn that I had to get it out again. I wore it with this simple blue tee, and then as the paper bag waist and the tie waist and button detail on the skirt added enough interest, I skipped wearing a necklace. I did add some statement earrings, like the skirt these gold ones hadn't been worn in a while, I forgot how heavy they were! They are so pretty though, I liked the way the circles matched the circular buttons on the skirt, although they are not the easiest to see in my wavy hair.

This was a nice comfortable outfit for lunch and a couple of errands and birthday present shopping with my son.


Last worn: statement gold earrings, blue tee, orange linen button up skirt, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: blue tee and maxi skirt, orange linen button up skirt and denim jacket, white Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in blu marine
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Since I enjoyed the outfit above so much I wore a very similar one again the next day for church. This time I went matchy-matchy, with the blue tee and blue Converse sneakers. Again I wore my little Mimco crossbody bag, I just needed the essentials for church.

Although this animal print ruffle hem a-line skirt is a bold statement piece, unlike the outfit above I felt I needed a necklace with this. I liked this bronze foil one, an opshop find, as it matched the colours in the skirt so well.


Last worn: blue tee, bronze foil necklace, animal print skirt, blue Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue tee with red, animal print skirt and leather jacket, blue Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

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.

Burgundy Tees, Black Denim Skirts, Printed Cover Ups And Mimco Mim-Mazing Bag

Two simple burgundy tee and black denim skirt outfits, with colourful cover ups and my Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One sangria v-neck tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the school drop off, working from home, and an appointment in the afternoon before picking the kids up at school. While the red on this Paisley print duster is a lighter red, I think it pairs so nicely with deeper reds and this burgundy tee was overdue a wear. It was a super hot day, so a cute denim mini skirt was a practical choice to beat the heat, and then I had to go matchy-matchy with the Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. I did consider wearing black sandals with this to complete the matchy-matchy feel, but decided on these simple slides instead, mostly because I didn't have to look as hard for these as they were right by the door, ha!


Last worn: heart stud earrings, bronze foil necklace, twist bracelet stack, Paisley print cover up, burgundy tee, Nobody Denim skirt, tan slides, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: Paisley print cover up and jeans, burgundy tee and shorts, Nobody Denim skirt with pink and purple, tan slides and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Shein black floral print cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This black floral print thrifted cover up is a lovely sheer material, however it is polyester and I did regret picking it for that reason alone a few times on this day, as I ran around between stores as I had a couple errands and some groceries to buy. It got very hot!

I did like the way the black florals worked with the black denim skirt and the burgundy tee, the colours all look so good together. Like in the first outfit, the red in the print is lighter than the deep red of the tee, but again I liked the pieces together. It was just a very humid day and the extra layer in a not very breathable fabric wasn't ideal! I think the outfit would have been a little plain without that extra print though.


Last worn: floral cover up, beaded necklace, burgundy tee, black denim skirt, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and shorts, burgundy tee and maxi skirt, black denim skirt and blazer, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.
