Tiered Kmart Dresses and Pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC Bag: Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing some outfits where I was making the most of the warmer days with simple tiered dress outfits, accessorised with my latest purchase, the Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag. It's working so well in my wardrobe I'm kinda wishing I'd bought it earlier - an older style, it was on the David Jones site for a while before I caved and snapped it up when it was further reduced. It goes so well with both of these dresses, even though they are different lengths and colours!

ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl beaded bracelets and Hermes pink clic clac
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig (new purchase)


Why I wore it:

Wore this to catch up with a friend I hadn't spoken to in a while after the school run. I dressed up a little to take advantage of the kid free occasion, with my eldest at work and my youngest watching a movie at home while his dad worked from home. It was nice to get out the house by myself for a bit for an hour, even if I probably overdressed for the rest of the day. I felt especially overdressed when I took my son for a haircut after the school run!

Added some fancy dangly earrings to this cute Kmart floral maxi dress I'm still not quite at 30 wears with yet, and a couple of bracelets that hadn't been worn in a while, like this Hermes clic clac and my little pearl bracelets.

Last time I tried this coral dress with a pink bag I really liked the combination, so I gave it a go again with this Rebecca Minkoff fig Jean MAC crossbody bag. I wasn't sure it was the best colour combination, but I'm glad I gave it a go for something different!

Why I wore it:

Anticipating another extremely hot day I'd planned to wear this little black tiered sundress for the school run, working from home, and taking my son to an appointment in the evening. Even though it wasn't as warm as I thought it would be, this was a great outfit to wear, so comfortable all day!

With the black dress and black New Balance sneakers I felt this pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC was a fun accessory again. I really liked the way it popped with the black dress! I've worn this dress with pink bags a few times and I always really enjoy the combination.

How You Can Wear It:

A strappy tiered sundress in any length is a good way to beat the heat on a hot summer day! You can dress it up with a bracelet stack and statement earrings or dress it down with a casual pair of sneakers.

Olive Tops With Neon Pink Mini MAC Bag And Shorts

Olive and pink is a really nice combination - especially when you pair this very fun neon pink mini MAC bag with an olive top. It's a great little pop of colour with an otherwise neutral outfit. And a simple pair of shorts and olive top was all that was needed for these two heatwave filled days.

What I wore:

Top: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda shorts
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

It was good to get these white shorts out for another wear, as I thrifted them near the end of summer last year and they didn't get a lot of wear then. This was a relaxed day with only one appointment to go to after the school run and we spent most of the day at home, so these comfortable shorts paired with a slouchy embroidered tank was a nice idea. 

I've worn this neon pink mini MAC bag with the olive embroidered tank before, I really enjoyed the combination then and I liked it again this time too, although less layers were needed! I added the pink enamel bracelet for a little bit of matchy-matchy too!


Last worn: olive embroidered tank, neon pink enamel bracelet, white Bermuda shorts, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wearolive embroidered tank and jeans, white Bermuda shorts worn two ways, studded sandals and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC bag with blue.

Perfect for pregnancystudded sandals in third trimester.


Adding Another Pink Handbag To My Collection!



In case you missed it, I bought this adorable little Rebecca Minkoff bag on sale last month, so now I've added another pink bag to my handbag collection!



What I wore:


black printed shorts and Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC | awayfromtheblue

NecklaceHouse of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in dark green
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a busy day so I needed another easy and comfortable outfit - shorts and a tee was perfect, and the Converse were great for all of the running around. Had the school run, some errands to run, an appointment, and a very special Christmas gift to track down. End of the night was a takeaway and movie night as I was a bit tired out from trying to do so much!

The olive tee and black printed shorts was a nice neutral combination but even with the bracelet stack (which matches the tee nicely) and the silver statement necklace I felt this was missing something. The hot pink bag was the perfect finishing touch!





How You Can Wear It:

Green and pink is an unexpected combination but one that really works! Olive pairs nicely with blush and pastel pinks, or you can really contrast the pieces by picking a neon pink item instead, like this lovely bag.
