Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue
Why I wore it:
Wore this on a particularly hot and humid day! We tried to head out early to explore a local bike trail - and with things getting a bit safer with less virus cases around in Queensland I let the kids enjoy the playground along the trail too. We haven't been visiting playgrounds as much as we used to, although they have been open for a long time here. People don't social distance and they can be a bit crowded so I prefer staying away - but the boys enjoyed visiting this old favourite playground again for something different, even if I was constantly getting out the hand sanitiser!Didn't stay as long as I'd hoped as it was a really hot day, but the kids had fun for a little while.
I expected to spend more time in the playground and less walking along the trail, so I wore my Converse as I didn't need as much support for my knee. I'd thought of wearing this purple tee with the printed kimono when I spotted it in the opshop, even though the print on the kimono is magenta, I thought the purple tee went really nicely with it!
The Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack is always a good choice on days out with the kids as it holds water bottles and snacks well.
Last worn: flat statement necklace, purple v-neck tee, distressed denim shorts, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Julian bag. First time I've worn the kimono as it was a recent purchase.
Other ways to wear: purple v-neck tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim shorts and foil print tee, white Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Julian bag and green pants.
Perfect for pregnancy: purple v-neck tee in second trimester, white Converse in second trimester.

Why I wore it:
This tee is kind of between burgundy and purple - it's official colour name is wine but I thought it looked burgundy enough to pair with this red printed kimono, for something just a shade different. it ended up looking significantly different when worn side by side, but I liked the combination enough to give it a go!Headed out with hubby to go check out bikes with the boys, something we want to buy as a Christmas present but the stock shortages around Australia make that tricky! It was a bit of an unsuccessful shopping trip, so to rescue the day we headed out in the afternoon after it cooled down a little for a walk around a local trail. I'd swapped my Converse I'd worn in the morning to my daggy but much more supportive sneakers, I really need them for this longer trail.
I'd been looking around for a good spot to take a pic when we came across the red flowers on this tree, the perfect location, as it matched the kimono so well! This was a really comfortable outfit for the weekend.
