Printed Tees, Black Denim Skirts, Sneakers Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote

This has definitely been the summer of denim skirts! Once again I'm wearing two of my black denim skirts, with printed tees and my Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote for easy playground outfits with the kids. Much like my denim skirts, this tote bag has been on frequent repeat!


What I wore:

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
SkirtNobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

After a rainy day previously, everything was still a little wet but it was shaping up to be a sunny and dry day so we headed to another bike track for the kids to get some of their energy out. they were even able to have a play in the adjacent playground after as everything dried up quickly.

I absolutely adore this Sass and Bide neon leopard print tee but I wear it so rarely, it definitely should be one I reach for more often. It works so well with denim so I knew it would look nice with this distressed Nobody Denim skirt. With the black denim skirt, black New Balance sneakers and black studded tote bag, I added the turquoise and gold necklace for another little pop of colour and to stop this looking too Halloween-y with the black and orange!

BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:


Wearing some old favourites with a new kimono I got for Christmas! This pretty blush pink kimono is going to go with so many outfits. A striped tee and denim skirt is a great outfit on it's own, but I like how the pink kimono added a little extra sun coverage and a bit more colour to this outfit. It is a really nice colour with the navy stripes on the tee and the black denim skirt, which was a December opshop find and just $1!

While the pink and rose gold necklace doesn't match the shade of pink in the kimono exactly I thought it was a nice combination together. And the Adidas Superstar sneakers were comfortable for yet another day at a bike track and playground. Really been enjoying the open spaces of the bike tracks this summer, with all the Covid cases around in Brisbane.

Again I went with my Rebecca Minkoff unlined studded tote bag, it's nice with the black denim skirt and it holds snacks and water bottles for us all so well.


Last worn: navy stripe tee, blush and rose gold necklace, black denim skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined studded tote (above). First time I've worn the kimono as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wearnavy stripe tee and skinny jeans, black denim skirt and orange tee, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff unlined studded tote and maxi skirt.

How You Can Wear It:

A tee and denim is a summer style staple! For something a little different you can try a brightly coloured printed tee with denim, like I've worn in the first outfit, or add a little extra colour to a classic stripe tee and denim outfit with a kimono like in the second outfit.

Blue Printed Maxi Skirts, Text Tees And Rebecca Minkoff Tote

Two very comfortable outfits I wore back in January when I was recovering from my wisdom teeth surgery. Simple text tees, printed maxi skirts, sneakers and the always practical Rebecca Minkoff studded unlined tote bag.

Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

Wore this tee for a little bit of local shopping! While I'd been stuck at home for almost a week recovering from surgery I'd anticipated feeling better on this day so I'd booked the kids in for a school holiday workshop a few weeks prior, and then we set off to get some essentials that we hadn't been able to get in our regular grocery shop due to the explosion of Covid cases. While the big supermarkets had very little choice and a lot of empty shelves, as hoped for all the local independent stores and the IGA had what we needed. It really pays to shop local!

Had an appointment with the surgeon in the afternoon to check up on post-surgery complications and see why my recovery wasn't going as well as expected too.

Thought this Love Local tee would be a very appropriate one to wear for the day, and I really just wanted an easy and comfortable outfit as I anticipated having to travel around a few shops to get what we needed. This oversized tee tucks in nicely to the tie dye maxi skirt and I like black and blue together. The black Converse and black Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag matched it nicely as well.


Last worn: Love Local tee, tie dye maxi skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wearLove Local tee worn knotted, tie dye maxi skirt and denim jacket, black Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and dress.

ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

Didn't take a proper photo of this outfit in my back yard as usual! This was only a couple days after surgery and my face was still significantly swollen up. Thank goodness you couldn't tell once I had the face mask on! We took the kids out that morning for their first vaccine, as they were only eligible for it here from the 10th January. I really wasn't feeling great and slept a lot when we got home but I'd booked the first slot I could for them, knowing it was close to my surgery date but that being a bit sore and uncomfortable was a small thing to deal with to make sure they were vaccinated.

I'd planned my outfit in advance as I knew I'd not have the energy that morning! Again, like the above it was a simple text tee with a printed maxi skirt. This navy striped skirt goes with everything and it worked well with my Pfiiizer tee that my sister got me for Christmas. (Jimmy Rees being an Australian treasure!) I thought it fitting to wear for the kids vaccine appointment, it made me smile! 

The black Rebecca Minkoff tote bag again was a good practical choice as it fits everyone's water bottles inside easily. The little reusable tote bag was one they gave the kids with some activities and stickers for while they were waiting around before leaving the venue, which was helpful.


Last worn: navy stripe maxi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote (above). First time I've worn the tee as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wearnavy stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, blue Converse and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and dress.


How You Can Wear It:

Just like shorts and a tee, a maxi skirt and tee is an equally comfortable summer outfit! A fun printed one can add a little interest to a neutral grey or black tee as I've worn here.
