Printed Skirts, V-Neck Tees and Chloe Marcie Shoulder Bag

More outfits I wore recently with my Chloe Marcie bag that's been on frequent repeat! Wearing the neutral brown bag with some printed skirts and colourful tees.

Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelets
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

I realised I hadn't worn this maxi skirt in a while and got it out on this day to try give it one last wear, to see if I should keep it in my wardrobe. A $1 opshop find, I've only worn it times 4 times since I thrifted it back in 2019. However wearing it just reminded my why I bought it, it's definitely a keeper. It was a nice light skirt to wear, and it has pockets! The black and white stripes go with everything too.

Perfect outfit for a long weekend day spent at the beach and playground with the kids - this maxi skirt, although polyester, wasn't too heavy in the heat of the day and I felt quite cool in it with the slits up the side. It provided awesome physical sunblock for my legs too!

The wooden bead bracelets are new - I found these in a box of old things at my parent's place, still with tags on, from a now closed store. I thought they complimented the brown of the Chloe Marcie bag nicely.

Why I wore it:

This skirt was another thrift find, also just $1, that I felt I should wear again! I got this skirt because my sister has the same one and I thought it was such a lucky find I couldn't say no. Being a green midi skirt, it's two things I find challenging to wear, but I can always ask my sister for style tips, and it's good to try different things sometimes. I spent a little while trying to think of what to wear with it before I decided on this blue tee - I do like blue and green together!

Just like last time I wore this bag with tan shoes, I figured the two browns were far enough apart that they worked together in this outfit. And I really like the look of this skirt with ballet flats.

Spent the day working from home, with the school run too. Had a little appointment in the afternoon before picking up the kids as well.


Last worn: blue tee, beaded necklace, daisy print midi skirt, tan flats, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

How You Can Wear It:

Printed skirts pair perfectly with block colour tees! With the tee being a single basic colour you don't have to worry about it clashing with any prints on your skirt.

Printed Dresses, Ankle Boots and Chloe Marcie | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing some recent autumn outfits with printed summer dresses with ankle boots and my newest handbag purchase, the Chloe Marcie bag. Although the boots are tan and the bag is brown I think they are far enough apart that these outfits work.


What I wore:

Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut (new purchase)


Why I wore it:

A slightly cooler autumn day meant being able to get out my ankle boots! It was a very warm start to autumn, and it's still quite warm during the day, but it is starting to get a little more autumnal around here! I thought with the tan ankle boots and the brown Chloe Marcie bag this was a great way to autumn-ise this little summer dress. While it's light, the longer sleeves helped keep me warm.

Our plan was to go to the library to stock up on books for the upcoming long weekend and spend some time at the playground, but our time was cut a little short with the rain! It worked out though as we had someone coming round to the house to do a quote for some work that afternoon, and they were available earlier than expected. We were home earlier than expected with the rain too so they were able to come over!


Last worn: Jeanswest Chelsea dress, bracelet stack, tan ankle boots. First time I've shared the bag as it was a recent purchase.

BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

I probably should have added a denim jacket to this, as it was a little chilly that morning! I was glad I had a few errands to run at the local shopping centre after dropping the kids off at school so I could be indoors. Thankfully it really warmed up later in the day so I wasn't cold at school pickup!

This dress was such an easy instant outfit for such a busy day, as after I did some errands in the morning, I was working from home, had another errand to do in the afternoon, and then of course school pick up. One of those very busy days!

I really liked the neutral Chloe Marcie with this floral print tee dress. It's got so many colours in the print I often reach for natural accessories to wear with this dress.

How You Can Wear It:


Printed dresses can be worn after summer before things cool down too much just by adding a pair of ankle boots to keep you a little bit warmer!
