Pink Dresses And Blazers For The Office With Floral Crossbody Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing a couple more office outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, both featuring Kmart fuchsia pink dresses I added blazers on top of to make them more office appropriate for my business causal office.


What I wore:


Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus a beaded bracelet my son made me
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

We had a themed lunch in the office which gave me the perfect excuse to wear this dress. I'd seen another employee from a different floor wearing a similar dress the week before so this dress was first to my mind for our lunch!

To make this fuchsia tiered midi dress more office appropriate I added the navy blazer on the top, but I definitely didn't need it for our outdoors lunch as it was such a hot day. I really like this pink dress with the little hand painted floral bag too, it's a combination I've worn before and I thought it would be a fun talking point to wear for our lunch.


Last worn: navy blazer, Piper gold heart studs, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, Tiffany 5th Avenue necklace, fuchsia tiered midi dress, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff floral mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wearnavy blazer and printed dress, fuchsia tiered midi dress and denim jacket, white Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff floral mini MAB tote and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.

Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

As much as I love blue and pink together, I like grey and pink too! Added a few blue accessories to this fuchsia pink Kmart linen dress with the resin necklace and blue Converse, and the grey jersey blazer was a great topper to make it feel a little more office appropriate.

It wasn't another themed lunch day in the office but I still enjoyed wearing such a bright and colourful dress to work. Got a few compliments on it, it's just so cheerful, and the linen was great in the hot commute to and from the office with our Brisbane heatwave.

Chloe Small Paraty, Denim, And Statement Cover Ups

Adding a little extra interest to a plain tee and denim outfit in both of these outfits with statement cover ups. A fun sequin piece and a long flowing duster help to make these outfits stand out a little more.


What I wore:

Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Had a bit of a trim for my hair. It's really not growing as fast as I'd like (I'm trying to donate it again) so I thought a little trim would speed up the process! Spent some time shopping afterwards, as well as all going out for lunch. I didn't buy anything for myself but we did have fun buying some birthday presents for the kids and taking advantage of some of the sales to do so!

This sequin kimono is so beautiful and statement-making, one of the sales assistants in the shops said I was "very Harry Styles", haha! I love seeing people's reactions when I wear this, even on just a standard day out shopping with the family. It always makes people smile, I love wearing it! As I said to my sister, it is definitely designed for dancing the night away, but it also just brings me so much joy wearing it with everyday outfits.

Without it this deep purple tee and distressed denim skirt was a bit plain, I really liked how it elevated the outfit a bit. And I loved how similar this purple Chloe Paraty bag is with the deep purple of the tee, they are the perfect pairing.


Last worn: sequin kimono, earringscoin necklace, stone pendant necklace, purple tee, distressed denim skirt, Havaianas, Chloe purple small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearsequin kimono worn 2 ways, purple tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Chloe purple small Paraty bag and floral dress.

BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty 


Why I wore it:

With the blue tee, blue necklace, distressed denim shorts, periwinkle Paraty, and navy Havaianas, this was a very monochromatic blue outfit! This statement duster was a nice way to add a little more colour to my outfit. I really like blue and green together!

Just like this outfit above, adding the extra duster layer on top helped me feel more pulled together. It was a quiet day, just having a playdate with one of my son's friends.
