Blue and White Shorts Outfits With Balenciaga Moto Bags

Another outfit duo following a similar formula but two very different resulting looks, with shorts, blue and white, and Balenciaga bags. These bags are from 2009 and 2010, but age so well! I'm glad I splurged on them all those years ago.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Tee: Primark Edinburgh white graphic tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

A hot but relaxed day, with the school run and working from home. Surprisingly, I haven't worn this tie dye cape and the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag together before. I really like blue and pink so expected the combination to come up in my blog archives, but looks like this is a new pairing! The different blue and navy shades in the tie dye go so nicely with the sorbet pink of the bag.

Kept my outfit simple with this white graphic tee and Bermuda denim shorts, it was really too hot for much else, or for proper shoes! Didn't even add a necklace to this - I think with the printed cape and the graphic print on the tee, and bright bag, there was already enough going on in this outfit.


Last worn: tie dye cape, Edinburgh tee, Bermuda denim shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

Other ways to wear: tie dye cape and skirt, Edinburgh tee and culottes, Bermuda denim shorts and stripes, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag worn 30 ways.

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

My Balenciaga Bag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

Another hot day! We had a quiet morning at home, with a wildlife show to attend in the afternoon with the kids. I went with this simple turquoise tank and these light white Bermuda denim shorts, again blue and white like the outfit above. Because the show was outdoors I felt I should add a little bit of physical sunblock as well so went with this tropical floral print duster.

I've worn this purple Balenciaga work bag with turquoise before, and liked the combination. I also like wearing this purple bag with navy, so thought it would go nicely with the duster. All together it doesn't work quite as well as I would have liked, and with it being so hot and sticky I was wishing I'd gone with no duster on top. The bag was the perfect size for all our water bottles though. Thankfully we got home from the show just before the storm hit, and the humidity didn't stop my kids from enjoying the wildlife show and getting up close and personal with the animals and snakes.


Last worn: tropical floral duster, turquoise tank, silver circle necklace, white Bermuda shorts, Havaianas (above), raisin Balenciaga work bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral duster and dress, turquoise tank and pencil skirt, white Bermuda shorts with olive and pink, raisin Balenciaga work bag worn 30 ways.

How You Can Wear It:

If there's a colour scheme you enjoy wearing, try finding different pieces in your wardrobe to create it. Both of these outfits feature blue and white, just in different ways to create different looks.

Green Floral Toppers Over White Tees and Jeans Outfits With Balenciaga Part Time Bag

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing some green floral toppers over basic white tees and jeans outfits. Accessorising with my black Balenciaga part time bag, the green layers were the only pops of colour in my outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: Diane Von Furstenberg Gabrielle boxy floral jacket in garden green (via Sheila's wardrobe)
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH

Why I wore it:

I got this beautiful Diane Von Furstenberg jacket from Sheila! She very kindly included it in the box when she sent my bag back to me with her gorgeous artwork on it. It was perfect timing as that day I had a reminder for an appointment the next day I'd forgotten about - this jacket felt like the perfect way to dress up my work from home jeans and tee outfit to make it appropriate for an appointment I needed to feel confident with. Totally copied Sheila and stuck with the black and white colours for my outfit, with the white tee, black skinny jeans, black ballet flats and even a black bag!

Perfect outfit for working from home, spending some time with my mum, and an appointment in the afternoon, although I still am not sure that was quite the right necklace for this outfit, I'd try a longer one next time.


Last worn: white tee, beaded necklace, faded black skinny jeans, black ballet flats, Balenciaga part time bag. First time I've worn this jacket as it was a recent gift from Sheila.

Other ways to wear: white tee over maxi dress, faded black skinny jeans and black knit, black ballet flats and printed skirt, Balenciaga part time bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: ballet flats in third trimester, Balenciaga part time bag in second trimester.

30 Ways To Wear A Black Balenciaga Part Time Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH

Why I wore it:

A much more casual outfit than the one above, although it follows an identical formula. Dark denim jeans, a white tee, and this lovely green floral print duster as a topper. Worn with Converse rather than ballet flats, but again I went with black accessories with a necklace I think really did work with this outfit, a beaded black bracelet stack, and my Balenciaga part time bag.

Just needed something simple and comfortable for a busy morning, with a little bit of driving to-and-fro as my son had a birthday party to attend. Thankfully the party was indoors with all the rain - although the little shower we did get caught in wasn't too kind to my hair!

Last worn: green floral duster, black multi chain necklace, white tee, grey Nobody denim jeans, black Converse, Balenciaga part time bag (above).

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and Bermuda shorts, white tee and blazer, grey Nobody denim jeans and stripe tee, black Converse and dress, Balenciaga part time bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Balenciaga part time bag in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

With a classic black jeans and white tee outfit you can add a lot more colour and interest with a light layer like these green floral ones. A silk jacket, or floral duster, can be the perfect light layer for spring.

Cardigans and Culottes With Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

Can't believe it's October already! While I have made a start on some Christmas shopping and covered off the basic things I get every year like clothes and books, I always like to get some fun things just to make people smile. Gifts like a custom pet portrait of our dog Cooper for my husband, and a cuddly little mantis for my insect loving son. I find gifts for dog lovers so fun to shop for, one year I got my husband custom pet socks with Cooper's face on them that were adorable! My kids have a couple dog tees, and cuddly toys, and of course I have a couple of necklaces with our dog's little fuzzy silhouette on them. 

I'm looking forward to Cooper's portrait arriving as it will look so good next to a Shih Tzu print my mum gifted us a couple years back for our new house. I've also been buying a few things for myself while shopping for others, like this handbag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Short: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! Just the usual working from home, but also doing parent teacher interviews with the kids teachers in the afternoon. It was a mix of in-classroom and over the phone interviews, so I wanted to be comfortable but not too casually dressed for the in-person ones. I have worn this pink tee with these Kmart culottes before, I really like the pink and navy together. I felt the navy waterfall cardigan made it a little more formal than just the shorts and the tee alone, and was a good cosy layer for the afternoon meetings as well when it got cooler. And it was extremely comfortable for working from home - I spent my lunch break browsing a few more online shopping sites looking for the perfect Christmas gifts!

While there is some lighter blue in the print on the culottes, it doesn't really match the darker Luna blue of the Edie shoulder bag. I still thought it was a good accessory with everything though, this bag just goes so well with other shades of blue.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, pink tee, circle necklace, Kmart printed culottes, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan worn 30 ways, pink tee and maxi skirt, Kmart printed culottes with lilac, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag with pink.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse Chucks in second trimester.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit formula above so much, I repeated it again! This time a white v-neck tee, with another pair of Kmart printed culotte shorts. I thrifted these a while back for just $1, such a lucky find. The mustard yellow cardigan was an opshop find too! I wore it to keep cosy on the school run and while working from home, and also to be noticeable when surprising my kids at a performance at school. It was so hot though, squished in the crowd of parents watching, that I ended up having to take my cardigan off. Had to wave quite a bit until the boys saw me but they were so happy when they noticed me in the crowd.

Unlike the outfit above, there isn't an abundance of navy that makes the outfit look more coordinated, but I still feel everything goes together well. The pastel shorts look so good with the blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag. The white tee and mustard yellow cardigan, while they also don't match, just flowed nicely with everything else.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, beaded necklace, white tee, pastel culottes, Stan Smith sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and printed tank, white tee and blazer, pastel culottes with lilac, Stan Smith sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and orange maxi skirt.

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and tee is a staple for warmer weather. For those in-between seasons, you can try adding a cosy and colourful cardigan on top, before spring temperatures really arrive.

Blue and Pink: Jeans, White Tee and Scarf Outfits With Blush Darren Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing two magenta and black outfits with my blush pink Darren bag and blue scarves. 

Sometimes I'm organised enough to plan outfits in advance, which is what I'd done here. However it was such cold and windy mornings the week I'd planned to wear these outfits I had the choice of saving them for another day or adding a scarf. Went with the last minute scarf addition to both outfits to give me that little extra warmth, rather than planning out all new outfits in the morning rushes to get out the door in time for school drop off!

What I wore:

 

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

I've never tried to wear a scarf with this light long sleeve kimono before! I'd planned this outfit for a Monday during a very warm weekend afternoon so when I woke up to a cold and windy day I decided to give a scarf a try. I think this really worked, although the cosy scarf and light jacket do contradict a bit - the cobalt blue matches the leaves in the floral print so well I felt so happy wearing them together.

I liked the colour combo of the blush bag with the magenta jacket too, and of course a white tee and black jeans go with everything!

Such a good outfit for the school run, working from home, and then school pick up in the afternoon.


Last worn: floral print kimono, Marc Jacobs scarf, white v-neck tee, faded black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag.

Other ways to wear:  floral print kimono and shorts, Marc Jacobs scarf and dress, white v-neck tee and shorts, faded black skinny jeans and double denim, black Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger Bag Review:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy Silver foil print tree scarf
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

Despite the day being a lot windier than the one above, I was actually really warm in this outfit and took the scarf off after helping in my son's classroom in the morning. I had a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and all the last minute shopping and preparation for my son's party the next day. I think all the running around was what kept me warm, more than the outfit, as this long sleeved striped duster isn't the thickest material.

Was the perfect outfit for a busy day though - I liked the extra colour from the blue scarf, and again this is a magenta and black outfit with the black and white stripes and magenta jeans. Just as in the first outfit, I thought the blush pink bag was a nice pairing with the brighter magenta pink. Again I wore my black Converse, as I had a lot of running around to do!


Last worn: striped maxi cardigan, white tee, magenta jeans, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren (above). First time I've worn the scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: striped maxi cardigan and dress, white tee and printed jeans, magenta jeans and blazer, black Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren and sundress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black Converse in third trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee can still work in winter, just with a few extra layers like a long sleeved kimono or cardigan, and of course a big cosy scarf. A scarf is a great way to add more colour to your outfit too.

Colourful Jeans, Floral Kimonos and Chloe Bags

More jeans, tee and Converse outfits for autumn as I enjoy the cooler weather meaning I can wear my jeans again after a particularly warm start to autumn! Adding more colour to my outfits with floral kimonos and colourful jeans, and wearing a couple of my Chloe handbags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: Lovisa mixed texture beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I was surprised to see I hadn't worn this dark floral print kimono with the magenta jeans before! While the floral print is purple and doesn't have any magenta in it, I do love pink and purple together. With all that colour the dark grey tee was the perfect pieces to wear in between. My friend Sheila had worn a similar necklace on her blog so I remembered this one that was overdue another wear. I think the grey beads were just different enough for the darker grey of the tee that they worked together, and the gold matched the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag.

It was a thankfully rain free morning with a couple of errands and a trip to the library. We even managed a play in the playground as it wasn't too wet after all the rain. We then had a nice relaxing afternoon at home until there was a little accident with my son that required a quick dash to the hospital in the evening. Luckily he didn't need stitches, just needed a little glue to help things heal up, although he now has a scar. He was quite surprised by all the attention he got from the kids when he went to school the next week with him being all bandaged up!


Last worn: purple floral kimono, beaded necklace, dark grey tee, magenta jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple floral kimono and denim skirt, dark grey tee worn 30 ways, magenta jeans and leather jacket, Converse and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and printed skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: dark grey tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

My Chloe Handbag Collection

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was thankfully a much more boring and uneventful day! Just the regular working form home and school run, with no surprises or hospital trips. Again I went with jeans and a tee and my trusty Converse. This time around it was neutral olive jeans, a white tee, and some extra colour with this fun tropical floral print duster. That somehow I haven't worn with these olive jeans before, even though I really like navy and green together!

The little Chloe Ethel bag was a good neutral accessory and while I didn't need to carry much I love how roomy this bag is despite the small size.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, speckled tee, gold circle necklace, olive jeans, Converse (above), Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and shorts, speckled tee and maxi skirt, olive jeans and mustard cardigan, Converse and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a style staple. You can add a little more print and colour with a fun floral kimono as I have here, and try some different coloured jeans instead of a classic blue pair too.

Printed Pieces With Plain V-Necks And Mini 5-Zip Bags Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing two new printed pieces I thrifted during my February opshop browsing for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. A skirt that's very different from everything else in my wardrobe, and a pair of cute culottes that I already own in another print! Pairing both of them with my little Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Top: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

I really like this skirt! I was browsing the racks at the opshop when I saw the familiar print - my sister has the same skirt. She likes it so much she has it in two colours. I don't have a lot of green in my wardrobe but knowing I could get style advice from my sister with this, and because it was just $1, I took this home with me. I have a few ways I've thought about wearing it, but pairing it with a classic white tee is of course the easiest way, so that's the first way I've worn it here.

With the white tee matching the white daisy print I went even more matchy-matchy with the white Converse too, and the emerald green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag is a close shade to the green of the skirt. Even wore my little gold charm necklace to match the gold hardware on the bag too. A very nice matchy-matchy outfit.

Perfect for a busy Monday! Had the school drop off and pick up for the kids of course, and sports in the evening. Even managed a little walk around my favourite local trail after drop off too, before the rain arrived later that morning. 

I also had my first official Monday at work for the first time in over 7 years! Now both boys are at primary school I've returned to 5 days a week. I went part time when I returned from maternity leave after having my eldest boy, and aside from a couple of times when I've swapped my days around to suit work deadlines, I've never worked a regular Monday since! Still working from home at the moment, with so many cases around.


Last worn: white v-neck tee, gold charm necklace, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag. First time I've worn the skirt as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: white v-neck tee and pink shorts, Converse and navy dress, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and kimono.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

---

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip

---

What I wore:

Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Cheating a little here with the Weekday Wear Linkup again and sharing a weekend outfit! But really all my outfits are the same now on weekdays and weekends in a pandemic world.

I was eager to wear these pastel floral print culottes soon after buying them and I thought this lilac tee would be a great piece to try. I smiled when I saw these shorts at the opshop - they were so similar to the navy printed ones I already have, and they are from Kmart too, just from a different year! It was nice to score them for just $1.

Unlike the outfit above, nothing really matches in this outfit, it's got all the colours! But I think it all went together nicely. While the pastel blue shorts do have a little blush in the floral print, it is a very different shade from the pink mini 5-zip bag and the blue is a different shade from the Converse All Star too. I liked this colourful outfit though, nice and comfortable for a hot morning at the playground with the kids. Thankfully my outfit survived when I was playing with the kids, slipped and fell, and scraped up my hand on the ground. The rubber flooring on the playground is soft and bouncy but can still take your skin off when you slide along it! My hand and arm bore the worst of it unfortunately.


Last worn: lilac tee, necklace, blue Converse, pink mini 5-zip bag. First time I've worn the culotte shorts as they were a recent opshop buy.

Other ways to wear: lilac tee and denim skirt, blue Converse and striped dress, pink mini 5-zip bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: lilac tee in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

If you're not sure what to wear with printed pieces like this skirt or culottes, try a plain tee! I have quite a collection of plain but colourful v-neck tees in my wardrobe - you can find one to go with everything!

White Tees, Blue Maxi Skirts and Blush Pink Darren Bag

A maxi skirt and tee is an easy outfit formula to repeat over and over, and I've certainly been doing so lately! I recently wore these two blue maxi skirts with sneakers and some white tees, and added a little extra colour with my blush pink Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart abstract blob print tee
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this for another park day with the kids. It was a bit of a strange day, cloudy and threatening to rain, so I figured we'd best get to the playground as early as possible hoping to get some energy out before the rain set in.

This abstract print tee is a fun thrift find that was definitely overdue a wear, and this chambray maxi skirt I scored on sale a few years ago was overdue a wear too! I hit 30 wears with it a while back and it's a keeper in my wardrobe! I liked the pastel blues in the print of the tee with the chambray of the skirt, and the blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag matched the blush in the print of the tee nicely too. The turquoise beaded necklace is a different shade from the pastel blue in the tee but I still thought it was a nice combination.

This was comfortable and suitably covered up for our time at the playground - last time I was there I struggled finding suitably shady spots to sit and watch the kids play at times so I liked the physical sunblock on my legs with the long maxi skirt.

Last worn: abstract print tee, turquoise and gold necklace, chambray maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren messenger bag.

Other ways to wear:  abstract print tee and shorts, chambray maxi skirt worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren and double denim.

3 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger

---

What I wore:

Tee: Jimmy Rees Pfiiiiizer darling vaxed tee (Christmas gift)
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

This is my second Jimmy Rees Pfiiizer tee! I may have tagged a few people in his videos over 2020 and 2021, so I was spoiled with a few things from his merch line for Christmas! Much like the last time I wore my grey Pfiiizer tee, I knew exactly when I would wear this one! It was a quiet working from home day, with a little break in the afternoon to head out and get my booster jab. I figured the tee would make the doctor or nurse smile!

The white tee matches the white stripes on this navy maxi skirt perfectly, and the red print adds a little extra colour, but I still felt this needed more so I added the blush Darren bag for a subtle touch of colour, and the bright blue Converse too. This tee and maxi skirt combination was so comfortable for working from home, and I just added the accessories when I went out for my appointment.


Last worn: navy stripe maxi skirt, blue Converse, blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag (above). First time I've worn the tee as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe maxi skirt in monochrome outfit, blue Converse and pink dress, blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag and midi dress.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and white always work well together, and most people have a classic white tee in their wardrobe. You can easily pair a printed white tee with a plain maxi skirt as I have in the first outfit, or introduce a little extra print with a striped skirt like in the second outfit. Like white tees, stripes go with everything!
