Skirts, Striped Tees and Mustard Crossbody Bag

Stripes and skirts outfits for the school holidays! Despite it being the Autumn school holidays here in Brisbane, it still feels very summer-like during the day, so these outfits were perfect. I'm thankful it's cooling off a little more in the mornings and afternoons though as Autumn weather starts to arrive.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

Not the first time I've worn a striped tee with this skirt, and definitely won't be the last! I really like the navy stripes with the rust colour of this skirt, such a good combination. I added the navy necklace for a little more navy too, and this mustard yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag for something a little different. I thought the yellow would be nice with the rust and I really liked this! Casual Converse for the little bit of driving around I did do to take the kids to a school holiday program for the day, before working from home and picking them up in the afternoon.

BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

Another very similar outfit! Like the rust ruffle skirt in the first outfit, I found this striped tee at the opshop. I've gotten a lot of wear from it over the years, it's become a firm favourite in my wardrobe! Not bad for $1! Wore it with my distressed denim skirt and again the little micro Regan bag. I had to work from home, but as the kids are up so early in the mornings I took them out to the playground first.  I had a big green reusable tote with their remote control cars and our water bottles, so the micro Regan just had my essentials in it. It's the perfect bag for that!


How You Can Wear It:

You can't go wrong pairing a striped tee with a basic block colour skirt like I have in these outfits!

Yellow and Blue Kimono and Denim Outfits With Blue Bags : Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, another couple of loosely connected outfits - both are blue and yellow and feature kimonos, denim, Converse and blue bags.


What I wore:

JacketCotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Top: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in chartreuse
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a quiet day with the kids - our regular library run for more books, and a little time playing at the playground too. I was surprised to realise that I hadn't worn this yellow tank with this blue printed kimono before! Blue and yellow is a combination I enjoy wearing. It was a warm day so a tank and kimono was a good choice with the denim skirt.

Added even more blue with the periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty bag and the blue Converse. None of the shades match but I find all shades of blue go with each other!


Last worn: blue printed kimono, mustard yellow tank, navy beaded necklace, distressed denim skirt, Converse, Chloe small Paraty bag.

BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

A very bright outfit! One of my friends remarked how bright I was looking - deliberately picked this to go surprise my kids at sports day at school. I figured they wouldn't miss me standing on the side lines in this yellow kimono! it added a nice burst of colour to this silver metallic tank too.

Just like the outfit above I went with denim again - these Bermuda denim shorts are a staple every summer. Added more blue with the beaded statement necklace and the Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. My Converse were a comfortable choice too although I did regret them a little - no problems with the school run or working from home, but when I made it to sports day the ground was still very very wet and muddy from the floods and I ended up squelching in a few puddles, ugh! Maybe gumboots would have been a better choice!


Last worn: yellow printed kimono, silver tank, blue beaded necklace, Bermuda denim shorts, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and yellow is a nice combination together - blue accessories work well when you have any pieces of yellow in your outfit, like the yellow tank in the first outfit or the yellow kimono in the second outfit.
