Pink, Prints and Tank Outfits

Sharing two skirt outfits I wore recently with a few of my new purchases in March. Both have a pop of pink and some prints, but very different formulas and colours.


What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up (new purchase)
Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels

TankAsos satin singlet in pink
Skirt: Target classic denim skirt in white
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)


Why I wore it:

I found this cover up on the scarf rack at the opshop! I loved the colours and tassels. It was as I pulled it off the scarf hook I realised it was actually a cover up - and so was definitely coming home with me! Such a fun and colourful piece, and just $1! I was thinking about a nice neutral top to pair with it when I saw this hot pink satin tank in my wardrobe and realised it would look great with the turquoise. There is a bit of purple and red in the print, but no pink. I still think the hot pink and turquoise really popped together!

The neutral white denim skirt, another of my March buys, was a perfect pairing with all of that colour. And I couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with my accessories - the aqua mini MAC bag matching the turquoise in the print, and the tassel necklace matching the tassels on the hem.

Nice and colourful for a regular day with the school run, working from home, and a couple of errands.


Last worn: pink satin tank, white denim skirt, Havaianas, aquamarine mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the cover up and the tassel necklace as they are recent opshop finds.

BagRebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain


Why I wore it:

This was another very rare kid-free day off! I have had a few more lately as I worked a few weekends and earned that time off during the week. After taking the kids to school I had time for a little opshop browse (where I got the pieces in the outfit above) and I spent some time with my mum before we picked up the kids from school in the afternoon.

I wanted to wear this cute leopard print skirt I got from Target again. I really like pink and leopard together, I wore this skirt with pink last time I wore it too. The magenta Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag was a deeper pink with it, and I really liked it. The silver tank felt a little plain though, so I added this black statement necklace which matched the black in the leopard print and I think it really completed the outfit.


Last worn: silver tank, statement wooden necklace, leopard print ruffle hem skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff MAC.

Other ways to wearsilver tank and printed jeans, leopard print ruffle hem skirt and pastel pink, studded sandals and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAC and double denim.

Perfect for pregnancystudded sandals in second trimester.

Denim Skirts, Navy Tees And Printed Cover Ups With Mini 5-Zip Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing two denim skirt and navy tee outfits I wore recently for the work from home and school run days, with bright cover ups and some colourful Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bags.


What I wore:

Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted Kmart blue and pink palm print cover up (new purchase)
Necklace: thrifted silver and turquoise multi strand necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 


Why I wore it:

Wearing a couple of my recent opshop finds here! This turquoise and silver necklace seems like such an obvious pairing with the turquoise palm print of my cover up. The necklace was $2 and the cover up just $1!

Going a little matchy-matchy I went with a navy tee again to match the navy in the print, and then a distressed denim skirt that goes with everything. The pink iris Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag wasn't a perfect match to the pink in the print, but I liked how it went with the outfit anyway.

Had the usual routine of working from home and doing the school pickup, as well as finishing up my work day a little early to see my son's sports day at school. Comfortable shoes were a must have for standing on the side lines to cheer him on.


Last worn: navy tee, distressed denim skirt, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris mini 5-zip. First time I've worn the necklace and the cover up as they are recent thrift finds.

What Fits Inside: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
SkirtTarget classic denim skirt in white
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

Another navy tee, this time with a white denim skirt I picked up recently in the Target end of summer clearance sale. I have the same skirt in black I thrifted a while back, so had to get this one in white when I saw it on sale!

Because I really like navy and green together, I added this green duster on top. I still felt that the outfit could use a little more colour though, so went with the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag that was the perfect pop against the green of the duster.

Probably could have chosen a colourful necklace with this too, but thought I'd let the bag be the bright pop of colour. Didn't have too much time to try on other necklace options with trying to get the kids out the door to school, so I could get back home in time to log on and work from home before picking them up in the afternoon and running a couple of errands.
