Weekday Wear Link Up: Striped Tees and Maxi Skirts With Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag

Wearing more wardrobe staples for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, with striped tees and maxi skirts. Easy outfits to pull together for busy days.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart blue fringe crescent statement earrings

Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

This was a very busy day! After the school run I had some errands to run and had to take Cooper to the groomers before catching up with a friend, doing the school pickup, taking the kids for a haircut too and then sports in the evening. Was a lot of running around so I wanted to be comfortable, this maxi skirt and striped tee combination as perfect for that. The neutral grey and white tee is a bit plain on it's own but the ochre skirt adds a nice touch of colour with the outfit and I tried to dress it up a little with some accessories for catching up with my friend. 

It's not the first time I've worn the blue mini MAC bag with the ochre skirt, I really like blue and orange together. 


Last worn: white and grey striped tee, navy earrings, heart charm long necklace, ochre maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: white and grey striped tee and double denim, navy earrings, ochre maxi skirt in winter, Adidas Superstar and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: white and grey striped tee in second trimester.

What Fits Inside My Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC:

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Wasn't too sure about this combination. I've worn this red printed maxi skirt with striped tees before, but I didn't like this as much as I have the other times I tried it. It was a comfortable and practical outfit for another busy mum day though, with helping in my son's class in the morning, a trip to the library and playground with the little one and more sports in the evening after school pickup.

Wore the same Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag again. I like blue and red together and it seemed like a good choice with the navy stripes of the tee.


Last worn: navy stripe tee, navy and gold statement necklace, red printed maxi skirt, chunky platform sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff blue and gold mini mac bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy stripe tee and shorts, red printed maxi skirt and mustard knit, chunky platform sneakers and culottes, Rebecca Minkoff blue and gold mini mac bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Striped tees are such a staple and while they look good with denim I like to wear mine with another much loved wardrobe basic, a maxi skirt! Great for a warm day and works even with printed skirts.

What I Bought In March And How I've Worn It: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too

Well... I bought another bag 😂 Despite saying I didn't need or want anything this year I've managed to make an impulse buy or two every month. But this one was definitely worth it!

What I Bought:

• Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I Bought It:

We have an internal recognition program at work and there's a little monetary reward associated with it. Which I was lucky to get, and immediately put towards getting this bag! I hadn't used my Christmas bonus gift card yet either which covered the rest.

I'd checked out the Rebecca Minkoff sale and gotten as far as adding this bag to my cart before I realised that even with the extra % off, the shipping cost and exchange rate didn't make it that much of a bargain. It's a style I'd been wanting to try for a while but didn't want to pay the $400+ it retails for here either.

When I later browsed eBay with that work reward in mind I stumbled across the exact same bag I'd been eyeing on the Rebecca Minkoff site. At $100 cheaper than I'd seen in the Rebecca Minkoff sale! Of course I had to buy it!

As you can see in the video it didn't quite go as smoothly as I'd hoped but the handful of times I've used this bag it's been issue free and I've really enjoyed wearing it!

How I've Worn It:

The seller on eBay was super sweet and shipped this bag so quickly, it arrived much sooner than I expected. Which let me wear it for the first time on my return to the office. We had a celebratory lunch planned related to the work I mentioned above. It was so good to catch up with my colleagues and empty out all the food I'd left behind in the office before lockdown last year! It was nice being back, although throwing out all that expired food that hadn't been touched in over a year was not a nice experience!
