Printed Skirts and Band Tees With Converse and Edie Bag

Getting some of my band tees out again, and pairing them with printed skirts and Converse back at the end of summer. The Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag in Luna blue was a great accessory with both outfits, it's a shade that goes with so many other blues!


What I wore:

NecklaceTiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Top: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a relaxing weekend day. We had a couple of errands to run, a trip to the library, and then some time at the bike track with the kids. I was inspired by the model on the Ghanda site wearing the red version of this skirt with a band tee and Converse to wear this outfit with my Kisschasy band tee. I wasn't too sure it worked - still getting used to this skirt! I think if I had tucked in the tee like I did the first time I wore this skirt with a tee, I would have liked this outfit just a little more. This skirt is a fun challenge to have in my wardrobe, encouraging me to try new things!

With the blue tee, blue bag and blue Converse I added a little more blue with this turquoise and silver bracelet stack I got for Christmas. All shades go so nicely with the green of this skirt, I really like blue and green together!

Tee: The Getaway Plan yellow paint splatter band tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Another colourful outfit! Nice and comfortable for what was supposed to be a quiet day working from home with an appointment in the afternoon. Ended up cancelling my appointment as bad weather was predicted. The weather ended up being really bad when it did arrive, although this day was still sunny. As I'd planned this outfit out before I cancelled my appointment I decided to still wear it anyway. Colourful for the school run, but then not really seen for the rest of the day as I worked from home, ha!

Despite the blues in this tie dye skirt being different from the blues in the first outfit, again I think this Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag really works. I didn't need such a big bag as I only left the house for the school run but it saved the hassle of changing to another smaller bag. Was good to give this yellow band tee another wear too, definitely should wear it more often, yellow is so cheerful!

How You Can Wear It:

Printed band tees pair equally well with printed skirts, and of course Converse will always be a staple shoe choice with a band tee!

Striped Tees, Denim Skirts and Rebecca Minkoff Purple Mini MAB Tote Bag

Two incredibly similar outfits for two similar days. Striped tees, denim skirts, Adidas Superstar sneakers, and my little purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.


What I wore:

navy stripe v-neck tee with distressed denim skirt and Adidas superstar sneakers purple crossbody bag | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum with navy stripes and denim skirt | awayfromtheblue


Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy working from home day. I had the school run, a bunch of work to get through, and some errands to run in the afternoon. Simple stripes and denim was a winning combination. Once I picked the kids up from school we headed to one of our neighbours to help them with the flood clean up. She'd been away from her house when the rains came so there were a lot of mementoes she needed help with she hadn't been able to save before the flood, while the stronger people helped with moving out the bigger furniture items. Treated the kids to takeaway for dinner too as it was nice of them to come along with me to help her out. So many neighbours needing help as so many homes went under in the floods here sadly. If you want to, you can donate here to help.

I'd picked this little purple MAB tote to wear as I wanted a bit of colour after I put this outfit on - with the blue necklace, striped tee and skirt it was looking a little monochromatic! This is a beautiful shade of purple and was just the pop of colour my outfit needed - I only carried a few essentials with me.

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt 
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum


Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and errands! Again I went with a simple striped tee and denim skirt combo. Both the tee and the skirt were opshop finds, just $1 each! The shoes were a $3 thrift find and the mini MAB tote bag, although much more expensive, was a sale find years ago I've worn more than 50 times so this outfit has a great cost per wear!

I did think that morning about wearing another bag with this and picking one of my red crossbody bags instead to match the red logo on the tee, but decided to keep things simple and just use this little purple tote I already had all my things in from the day before. Wanted to make the day as easy as possible, the kids were home from school too while I had to work. School had been closed due to more predicted bad weather aggravating the flooding, but as you can see from the pictures the forecast was luckily wrong and it was a nice sunny day.

How You Can Wear It:

Striped tee and denim is an always classic combo. A denim skirt and a striped tee is a good choice to wear for early autumn days like these when it's not too cold and a simple outfit is all you need. You can add colour with a crossbody bag as I've done here too.
