What I wore:
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty
Why I wore it:
Wore this for the school run, working from home, and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. With the mask rules being lifted in Brisbane so we can walk on the school grounds without masks, I was happy to wear these pretty statement dangly earrings. Of course I realised when I got to the doctors that I forgot I'd have to wear a mask for the appointment as it's a healthcare setting, oops! A little tricky with such statement earrings but I was just super careful putting the mask on and off.I absolutely adored this outfit - even though the shades of pink in the tee and in the floral print of the dress are very different. I think having the matchy-matchy of the turquoise tassel earrings and beaded necklace pulled it all together perfectly, and I'll have to try those two accessories again!
It's not the first time I've worn the Chloe Paraty with this dress - I like the two different shades of blue together, just like the two different shades of pink above. I've modified the strap so that it's really easy to take on and off the bag too. As you can see in the photos though I didn't realise I'd accidentally hooked the strap onto the ring of the zipper instead of the ring on the side of the bag - I quickly noticed walking around that the bag wasn't sitting right and fixed it before I went too far!

What I wore:
Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty
Why I wore it:
Since I liked the outfit above so much, I repeated it again a few days later with a different v-neck tee and a different Kmart tiered sundress. Sometimes it pays to buy things in multiple colours! I liked the extra touch of colour the lilac tee gave to this little black printed dress. Again I went with the Chloe Paraty bag - although it doesn't match anything in the outfit it goes with so much and I like blue and purple together.Wore this for a fun playdate with the kids that didn't quite go to plan - I usually try get there early to get a nice spot in the park to setup our picnic blanket, but we were super late for this one and my friends had been quite worried until we eventually turned up! Had to cut it short because of the rain too, as a little shower set in about an hour after we arrived. All the more reason to organise another playdate in future - that we hopefully won't be as late too!

How You Can Wear It:
When the weather cools in autumn or spring, you can make your summer sundresses go a little further by knotting a tee over the top. It can be a great way to add more colour to a neutral dress too, like I've done in the second outfit.
