What I wore:
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip
Why I wore it:
When I thrifted these Kmart printed culottes, I just got them because I already had and loved another pair in a different print (that I'm wearing below). I didn't really think about what I'd wear with them, so I am pleasantly surprised when I find so many good pairings in my wardrobe for them! This clay tee matches the darker rust in the print of the shorts so well.I like the matchy-matchy of the shorts and tee together, and although the yellow bag doesn't match any of the outfit, I thought it was a nice pop of colour. Just needed a small crossbody as I didn't need much for a quiet day. The school run, working from home, and an appointment at the vets for Cooper at lunch time.

Rebeca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip Review:
What I wore:
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip
Why I wore it:
This outfit is a bit darker than the one above, but still just as good for the heat! This slouchy deep purple tee always pairs so nicely with navy. I added a bit more navy for some matchy-matchy with the necklace also.
Another super hot day, but a little more running around to do with the school run, working from home again, and errands and visit to the library in the afternoon, so I went with these rose gold sandals for comfort.
Again I wore the little yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. It's not an exact match with the yellow in the print of the culottes, but like in the outfit above, I really like the pop of colour it adds, especially with the purple tee.
I'm determined to get to 30 wears with this tee and I'm so close, but it's a super soft mix of spandex and modal and the spandex is not holding up too well. I feel the tee gets droopier and droopier every time I wear it, haha! Not something I will be able to keep in my wardrobe for long past 30 wears unfortunately. I had a similar issue with the grey tee I purchased around the same time, made from the same materials, and it's why I prefer buying cotton tees.
