Green and Blue Tee and Midi Skirt Outfits With Mimco Teal Bag

Wearing some midi skirts into the office with blue tees and my little teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag. I like the teal bag with these green and blue outfits, despite the different shades in both.

What I wore:

Earrings: Avocado Santa hat earrings
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus jade bracelet
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This pale blue tee feels a littler more casual than a darker navy one, so I did consider adding a blazer to this. Despite the overcast start to the day it was still very humid though, so I decided not to add the extra layer. It was a quiet day in the office anyway.

I did like the paler blue tee against the bright green of the broderie skirt though. I often wear this skirt with blue tones. The blue Converse were a good match with the tee as well, although not exactly the same shade, they are very similar. I added a little more green with the jade bracelet as well. Wore a neutral navy statement necklace to try dress this up slightly for the office, and then my Mimco cocoon bucket bag that's been a real staple lately.

Last worn: pastel blue tee, navy beaded necklace, green broderie midi skirt, blue Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a gift.

Other ways to wear: pastel blue tee and shorts, green broderie midi skirt and Christmas tee, blue Converse and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and pencil skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: DIY green clay Christmas tree earrings
Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Again with the green and a lighter blue! This time around I wore this blue linen midi skirt, with a navy v-neck tee and my green beaded statement necklace for an extra pop of colour. I love wearing this green necklace with navy pieces in my wardrobe, I like the combination. And I really liked this linen midi skirt too. It does get creased up terribly easily, but it is also so light and perfect for a humid spring day. I like that it's also long enough to keep my legs covered up from the freezing aircon in the office.

Just like the midi skirt and tee outfit above, I wore my teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag with this outfit. I've been wearing it with almost everything lately, but I think the dark teal looks so good with blue.


Last worn: Christmas tree earrings, navy tee, green beaded necklace, linen midi skirt, white Converse, Mimco cocoon bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tee and jeans, linen midi skirt and printed tank, white Converse and dress, Mimco cocoon bag and blazer.

Printed Dresses, Bright Blazers and Mimco Teal Cocoon Bucket Bag

Wearing two pretty floral print dresses that I tried to make a little more formal for office days by adding bright blazers on top.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

I've worn this Jaase Celine dress into the office before. It's my go-to dress for special events, but I think with a blazer it looks a little more formal for a day at work. We had a lunch event on so I ended up taking the blazer off, the long sleeves on this dress kept me warm enough.

I really liked the orange blazer with the autumn leaves print on the dress, it was a great combination. I added the teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag as I've been loving wearing it lately, even though it doesn't match any of the colours in this print I liked the teal with the orange blazer and navy dress. The orange blazer just pops with everything I've worn it with.

Last worn: Tiffany necklace, orange blazer, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress, white Converse, Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and jeans, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress and leather jacket, white Converse and skirt, Mimco cocoon bucket bag with pink.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: gold Christmas present bow hoops
Necklace: Silhoupette gold plated Shih Tzu necklace
Dress: Boho Luxe floral print maxi dress (from my sister's wardrobe)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

My sister recently brought over a bunch of pieces she didn't want any more, and when I saw this dress I knew I had to have it! I always love a maxi dress. Wore it for another wet but humid day, again as I did with the dress above by adding the blazer to make it a little more office appropriate.

There were a few of us in the office on this day and we smiled when we realised most of us were wearing maxi dresses - I love unexpected coordinating like that! It was a day full of meetings so I kept the blazer on as we rushed between meeting rooms, but at least I was colourful and comfortable. The teal Mimco bag was a good match to the blues and turquoises in the print of the dress too I thought.


Last worn: gold silhouette necklace, cobalt blazer, blue Converse, Mimco cocoon bag (above). First time I've worn this dress as it's from my sister's wardrobe, and first time I've worn the earrings as they were a gift last Christmas.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and jeans, blue Converse and shorts, Mimco cocoon bag and skirt.

Navy Tees, Grey Pencil Skirts and Teal Bucket Bag

Wearing my new-to-me Mimco cocoon bucket bag in both these outfits. I scored it pre-loved on ebay as a treat for myself to celebrate something at work. I used to have a couple of these bags a long time ago and always missed having one in my wardrobe, so I am really enjoying having the style again! You will see it pop up a lot on the blog. The teal is a really nice shade that pairs so nicely with navy and grey, as I've worn it in both of these outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: Kmart pink multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: Atmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal (new purchase)

Why I wore it:

Even with the foil sparkle thread through this tee, the navy felt a little plain with the grey jersey pencil skirt, so I decided to dress this outfit up a bit and add more colour with the blush blazer. The blush pink is something I really like wearing with navy. I added the wooden beaded necklace for a little matchy-matchy. I wasn't sure about the teal Mimco cocoon bag against the pink but I really liked this combination, blush pink goes with so much.

This was a nice comfortable outfit for a quiet day in the office.

Last worn: blush blazer, pink wooden necklace, navy tee, grey jersey pencil skirt, white Converse. First time I've worn the bag as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer and dress, navy tee and maxi skirt, grey jersey pencil skirt and printed tank, white Converse and jeans

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester, grey jersey pencil skirt in third trimester.

Mimco Cocoon Bucket Bag Unboxing

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kelly's Kloset rainbow layered necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal (new purchase)

Why I wore it:

This was a much more humid spring day, and with the statement necklace adding some colour to the navy tee and the textured pencil skirt looking a little more formal than the casual jersey one above, I skipped adding a blazer to this in the office. It also let me show off the cute frill detail on the sleeves of this tee.

Again I wore the teal Mimco cocoon bag, as in the outfit above I like it against navy and grey, and I felt it was a good accessory. Added the blue Converse for yet another shade of blue and because they are the best shoes for the commute to work and running up and down the stairs at the office between meeting rooms on different levels.


Last worn: navy frill sleeve tee, colourful beaded necklace, textured grey pencil skirt, blue Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy frill sleeve tee and jeans, textured grey pencil skirt with green, blue Converse and dress.

Pink Kmart Dresses and Teal Mimco Bucket Bag

Trying a colour combination I haven't worn before, with my teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and some pink Kmart dresses. I ended up liking this pairing so much that I had to repeat it again another day!

What I wore:

Earrings: opal reindeer stud earrings
Necklace: silver twisted chain necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

On such a hot day I knew this linen dress would be perfect. It's a firm favourite of mine, especially in the warmer months in Brisbane. And while it sold out in store and I missed out on it, I snapped it up at the opshop for just $1, so I am always happy when people compliment it and I get to share the bargain find!

With the teal bag against the bright fuchsia pink dress I kept the rest of the accessories neutral and silver - although they still make a statement with the long twist chain necklace and the very fun silver glitter sneakers, which I haven't worn for a while but have been reaching for more lately. 

Nice easy outfit for the school run, a day in the office, and then attending an awards ceremony for the kids in the afternoon.


Last worn: opal earrings, silver twist chain necklace, fuchsia pink linen dress, glitter sneakers, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: fuchsia pink linen dress and blazer, glitter sneakers and shorts, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and navy dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Another office day, another reason to try the pink and teal combination. I think trying a new colour combination with accessories like a bag is a great idea, because most of the time in the office the bag just sits on my desk, so if I don't like it as much I don't have to wear it all day. But I really did like this unexpected combination.

I added a little more interest with the tortoise shell print tassel necklace, but kept the rest of my outfit simple just like in the outfit above, with another pair of sneakers. So comfortable for the commute, and running around between different meeting rooms on different floors of the office.

This Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress is also one of my favourites, although as a full price buy it's not quite the bargain the dress above was. I'm getting the cost per wear down on it though, always surprised I haven't hit 30 wears with it yet as I feel I reach for it a lot, it works for both office days and casual days.


Last worn: tassel necklace, fuchsia pink tiered dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag (above).

Other ways to wear: fuchsia pink tiered dress and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and skirt.

Green And Leopard Print Skirt Outfits With Mimco Bags

I like to repeat outfit formulas when I've enjoyed wearing them. Green and leopard is a combination I tried and liked so much I had to wear it twice! In both of these outfits I've accessorised with Mimco bags too.

What I wore:

Earrings: Avocado Santa hat earrings
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

We had a video call this afternoon while I was working from home that was a themed event so I knew this outfit would be perfect for it! Surprisingly I haven't tried wearing green with this leopard print skirt before, it's such a nice combination! I added a little more colour with the fun tassel necklace, but went a little matchy-matchy with the green avocado Santa hat earrings matching the green of the tee, even though they are slightly different shades.

I picked the braided sandals to match the brown in the print of the skirt too, and although the teal Mimco Cocoon bag doesn't match anything in the outfit, I really liked it against the green tee. This bag has been getting a lot of love recently since I scored it on eBay.


Last worn: avocado earrings, green tee, tassel necklace, leopard print skirt, braided sandals, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: green tee and midi skirt, leopard print skirt and leather jacket, braided sandals and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and pencil skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Earrings: candy cane hoop earrings
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Jenni basic singlet in Emerald green
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another day with the school run and working from home, and another green and leopard print outfit. This time I wore a leopard print cover up over a green tank and black denim skirt. I felt even when working from home that the green tank was a bit casual for having my video on in some meetings, the leopard print cover up dressed it up a little bit more, and covered up my shoulders for physical sunblock on the school run too.

With the black denim skirt, the black strappy sandals and the black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag seemed like obvious accessories. I added a little more green to this outfit too with the mint beads in the silicone necklace.


Last worn: leopard cover up, silicone necklace, green tank, black denim skirt, strappy sandals, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the earrings, a Christmas gift last year.

Other ways to wear: leopard cover up and shorts, green tank and jeans, black denim skirt with orange, strappy sandals and shorts, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: green tank at 39 weeks.

Blazers, Midi Skirts and Mimco Bags

Breaking out the blazers and midi skirts for slightly cooler office days in Brisbane, just before Christmas.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: candy cane hoop
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi 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:

I love wearing this green broderie midi skirt in December, it feels like it's been on frequent repeat lately! I really liked the bright green with the cobalt blazer, it's such a nice mix of green and blue. Added the neutral grey marle tee with the bold colours, and plain white Converse and black Mimco crossbody bag for more neutrals. I wasn't sure on a necklace for this outfit so I went with the turquoise one as a mix of blue and green, but looking at the photos after I do think the navy beaded necklace I also considered may have been better.

It was a quite relaxed day in the office as we had a colleague's family come visit us for a bit in a gap between meetings which was lovely.


Last worn: cobalt blazer, turquoise beaded necklace, grey marle tee, green broderie skirt, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and dress, grey marle tee and mini skirt, green broderie skirt in Christmas outfit, white Converse and denim, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Zara black blazer
Earrings: candy cane hoop earrings
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Tank: Kmart teal tank
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This was a slightly wetter day, still as cool as the one above though so a blazer was a good layer to add to this outfit. I needed the blazer over the singlet in the office as well to cover up my shoulders in this tank for meetings, but it was appreciated on the cooler morning commute as well.

Just like in the outfit above, I liked the marle top with the midi skirt. This leopard print one is an opshop fave. The blazer is an opshop find also, as is the beaded statement necklace. With the black blazer matching the black Converse, and the black in the leopard print of the skirt, this was a nice matchy-matchy outfit. I'd thought that the teal marle singlet would be a good match with the Mimco cocoon bag, but decided to wear them anyway when I put the bag on and realised it wasn't as close a match with the teal tank as I'd have liked. I still thought they looked good together.

Last worn: candy cane earrings, black blazer, beaded necklace, teal marle singlet, leopard print midi skirt, black Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and jeans, teal marle singlet and dress, leopard print midi skirt and red, black Converse and jeans, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black blazer in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Colourful Cardigans With Monochrome Jeans and Tee Outfits, Scarves and Mimco Button Bag

What I wore for celebrating the end of our 3 day lockdown in Brisbane at the start of July to enjoy what was left of the school holidays and get out with the kids. Kept my outfits simple and monochromatic with jeans and a tee. Even wore monochromatic scarves too, and a real wardrobe oldie with my black Mimco button bag. Added some colour with cardigans as I just can't seem to do a full neutral outfit without adding a bit of colour!

What I wore:

Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl in black and white Pretty Floral print
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in grey marl
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

After a little uncertainty, we were so pleased when lockdown was lifted the evening before and my son was able to compete in his sports tournament as planned. Even if all the parents and spectators had to sit outside and peer into the sports hall from the doorway to make sure everyone met the post lockdown indoor space restrictions 😅

Despite having to sit far away it was so good to see him competing and my bright mustard cardigan ensured my son could spot me in the crowd. I wasn't expecting to have to sit outside so I was pleased this was just the right outfit for it. The cardigan wasn't too heavy when the sun came out, but it and my scarf kept me warm when the sun hid behind the clouds. And luckily no rain too! Turned out to be such a good morning, so pleased they were able to still run the event.

I liked using my big Mimco button bag again! The 25th anniversary of Mimco had me thinking about my button bag again - this is one of the original styles, I bought it in 2007 when I was at uni. Was so thrilled when I bought it, it was a craze for a few years and they were everywhere in Australia. Still see them around now and then, although mostly the newer, smaller version of this style. This one you wouldn't know is over 14 years old! It's in great condition, I should wear it more!


Last worn: mustard earrings, mustard cardigan, grey v-neck tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Mimco black button bag. First time I've worn the scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, grey v-neck tee worn 30 ways, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and kimono, Mimco black button bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey v-neck tee in second trimester.

What Fits Inside: Mimco Button Bag From 2007

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl black and white thick and thin mix print scarf
Top: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

Very similar to the outfit above. Again, a monochromatic jeans and tee outfit with a black and white printed scarf and a colourful cardigan. This purple one isn't as bright as the mustard yellow one above, but it still adds the perfect amount of colour to this outfit. With the different shades of grey in the tee and the skinny jeans, the purple cardigan was the perfect topper. And with no other prints I could wear this fun contrasting striped scarf for a bit of an instant print mix without it clashing with anything.

Thankfully one of the workshops I'd booked in advance for the kids went ahead despite a lot of other school holiday activities I'd planned for the week being cancelled as soon as lockdown was announced, even though it was just for 3 days. Because it was still on after lockdown was lifted we had a pretty fun day. The kids got to make their own light up DIY aquariums in a jar which look really cute! These are kind of similar. We even managed a little play time in the playground before the rain arrived that afternoon which was perfect.

Again I wore my Mimco button bag - it seemed the obvious choice with the neutrals and it fits snacks and water bottles and the essentials nicely.

Last worn: purple cocoon cardigan, grey tunic, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, New Balance sneakers, Mimco black button bag (above). First time I've worn the scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: purple cocoon cardigan and skater dress, grey tunic and shorts, grey skinny jeans and leopard print, Mimco black button bag in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple cocoon cardigan in second trimester.

How You can Wear It:

Layering in winter gives you lots of fun options for accessorising. A colourful cardigan can add a burst of brightness to a monochrome jeans and tee outfit, and a printed scarf adds some extra interest and a little warmth.

Colourful Tees Black and White Maxi Skirts

Adding some colour to two different black and white printed maxi skirts with these simple tees. I've been reaching for maxi skirts quite often lately when the summer days are not too hot and humid.

What I wore:

Earrings: mini glitter gingerbread earrings
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Hermes pink clic clac
Bag:  Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I struggled a bit for what to wear on this day! I was working from home, but we had a themed event I'd be joining via video call so I wanted to be comfortable but also wearing something pink to meet the theme. After work I wanted to be a bit covered up for sports in the evening to provide a physical barrier against the mozzies. Ended up settling on this bright pink tee with the black and white maxi skirt. I love plain block colour tees like this as they go with all the prints in my wardrobe!

With the school run, working from home and sports in the evening, I didn't need to carry much and certainly not as much as this large bag can hold. I  still wore my Chloe Marcie bag though as it's been a while since I've worn it and it was overdue a wear.


Last worn: gingerbread man earrings, pink tee, wood and silicone necklace, black printed maxi skirt, braided sandals, Chloe Marcie bag.
 
Other ways to wear: pink tee and shorts, black printed maxi skirt in neutral outfit, braided sandals and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold gingerbread house earrings
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This was a subtle way to try red and green. very subtle with the teal Mimco crossbody bag and the pale coral tee. I felt it was a nice themed combination along with the little gingerbread house earrings! I've been enjoying wearing all my Christmas themed earrings this year. Both the coral tee and the vertical striped maxi skirt, like the necklace, are all opshop finds. I really like this skirt as it's nice and light for a warm day - it was perfect as the kids had a sport event on and the rain had cleared up turning it into a very humid day.

Wore my comfortable black Converse as I had a bit of driving to do, to and from the kids event, and needed to support my knee.


Last worn: gingerbread house earrings, coral tee, terrazzo necklace, vertical stripe maxi skirt, black Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and blazer.

Close up of accessories and bag:

Our internet router was fried in the storm last night, so we went out today during the gap in the storms to buy a replacement part to get it working again, and pick up a few pieces for Christmas presents. Ended up coming home and having a nap as I felt so bad. Caught a cold and started to feel unwell Friday afternoon, I've been trying to muddle on since but today was just terrible.

Today's jeans and a tee outfit was picked for comfort and I wore the scarf more to keep my neck warm and try stop coughing so much, I find wearing scarves when I'm sick seems to help. Hoping I recover quickly - getting lots of rest and drinking lots of water.


The scarf was last worn here, tee here, jeans here and shoes here. It's the first time I've worn the bag on the blog.
