Orange and White Skirt and Tee Outfits With Olive Crossbody Bag

Sharing two very different tee and skirt outfits I wore recently, although both feature orange and white with my little olive mini Darren bag.


What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace (new purchase)
TeeCotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren


Why I wore it:

I always like wearing thrifted pieces together! I picked up this rust linen skirt back in December, and I thrifted this chunky wooden bead statement necklace from the same opshop in March. While the white tee and rust button up skirt looked lovely together, I felt a necklace was really missing from this outfit, and the chunky navy and teal wooden beads were perfect against the white tee.

I really did not have to carry much, with nothing on the agenda other than a swimming lesson for my son as we'd had to move his regular lesson out to a different day. The little olive Darren bag was perfect for carrying the barest of essentials that I needed for the day.

I liked wearing the rust skirt to bring some autumn colour to my outfit, even if the weather here is still firmly set to summer!


Last worn: white speckle tee, rust linen skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent purchase.

BagRebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren


Why I wore it:

Since I enjoyed the white, orange and olive combination in the first outfit, I repeated it again a couple days later for a very rare day off! I had a bunch of leave from work to use up, so took the kids to school, had an unproductive stop at the opshop where I came home empty handed, and a glorious massage before getting a few things done at home then picking the kids up from school. It was a nice relaxing day.

As I only had myself to worry about, again the little Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren bag was all I needed for the bare essentials. And I really do love the way the olive  works with this bright neon orange leopard print tee as well as it did with the rust skirt in the first outfit!

It was also a good excuse to wear this white denim skirt I picked up at Target in March. I figured that a day mostly to myself would mean it would stay clean, but of course I managed to cover it in chocolate, ha! Thankfully it washed out easy.


Last worn: orange Sass and Bide tee, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, Tiffany 5th Avenue heart necklace, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren (above). First time I've worn the denim skirt as it was a recent purchase.

V-Neck Tees and Ruffle Hem Skirts Outfits

For much hotter than normal autumn days in Brisbane, little ruffle skirts and plain tees were easy outfit choices!


What I wore:

pink and leopard print outfit target ruffle hem print skirt with washed rose tee and mab crossbody bag | awayfromtheblue

animal print ruffle hem skirt with Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose | awayfromtheblue


Necklace
: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
SkirtTarget animal print ruffle hem mini skirt (new purchase)
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

I really like pink and leopard together, so I knew I'd be wearing this skirt with this fave pink tee of mine when I was trying the skirt on at Target. I really liked the combination together!

I couldn't quite decide on the bag that would go best with this outfit though. In the end, I picked this desert rose Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag as I liked the muted colour to create an almost tonal look with the pink tee and leopard skirt. I didn't have to carry much, as it was a quiet weekend and I just had to pop out to complete a couple of errands.


Last worn: pink tee, Tiffany heart necklace, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody. First time I've worn the leopard print skirt as it's a recent purchase.

Bag: Amerii medium sling rattan bag in black (c/o)


Why I wore it:

Much like the outfit above, again I wasn't sure on the best bag for this outfit! I went with a neutral black in the end, but I'd thought about a yellow one too and I think that might have worked out better. I did love the red clay tee with the rust of this ruffle skirt though, such a good colour combination together, and the recently thrifted little yellow beaded tassel necklace did help lighten up this outfit a little.

It was supposed to be a quiet day, with the school run and working from home, but there was a quick unexpected trip to the vets in there. Had to pick some injured wildlife we had taken there earlier in the week, as the vet called to give it the all clear to return to the wild and for us to release it near where we found it. The boys were so excited!


Last worn: clay tee, rust ruffle hem skirt, Havaianas (above), straw circle bag. First time I've worn the yellow tassel necklace as it's a recent purchase.
