Tiered Sundresses and Colourful Cover Ups With Louis Vuitton Neverfull Tote | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing two outfits I wore in the Easter school holidays, adding some cute cover ups over these Kmart tiered printed sundresses.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono
Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings

Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Another fun school holiday day, we had a couple of errands to run but also a nature based art class that the kids really enjoyed. The Neverfull tote was perfect for carrying snacks and water bottles.

I really like the subtle Aztec print on this Kmart black tiered sundress, and I thought it would pair nicely with the digital print on this cover up. I really liked the combination together, and I appreciated the cover up when we were in the aircon and the sun protection it gave outside.

The orange in the print, the yellow tassel on the necklace and the mustard tassels on my earrings are very different shades, but I liked the three all together and really loved this outfit.

Last worn: digital print cover up, mustard tassel earrings, yellow tassel necklace, black sundress, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

Other ways to wear: digital print cover up and denim shorts, black sundress and denim jacket, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag in third trimester.

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly kimono in dusty pink
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

I loved the combination above so much that I repeated it again, another Kmart tiered sundress with another colourful cover up. While the blush print on the dress is a shade or two lighter than the pink of the cover up, the two looked so good together! I added another pastel shade with the blue and gold necklace too, which I thought went nicely with the Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull.

We had a really fun day with my mum down the coast, enjoying the beach in the morning and then the park in the afternoon. It was a little windy, but still pretty warm, so this cover up was the perfect light layer over the sundress for sun protection without overheating.

Last worn: blush cover up, pastel blue necklace, tiered printed sundress, Havaianas (above), Louis Vuitton Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: blush cover up and denim, tiered printed sundress in winter, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

30 Ways To Wear: Atmos&Here Green Tropical Floral Print Tee Dress

I'm thrilled I reached 30 wears with this cute tropical floral print shift dress. Tee dresses are such a staple for me in my wardrobe, and this one always gets compliments. It's such a lovely print!

30 Ways To Wear: Tropical Floral Print Tee Dress

This is a fun dress, and with all the different colours, from the green background to the colourful tropical floral print, it's really easy to find pieces to wear it with in my wardrobe. It has the added benefit of being a nice light tee dress, perfect for spring, autumn and summer in Brisbane, it's one of those pieces I find myself reaching for fairly often. I have layered it up a little for cooler weather too, but the warmer weather is definitely when this gets worn the most.

I like the grey contrast sleeves - it has a grey panel on the back too, which makes it really easy to wear as you just focus on pairing things with the fun bright print and the rest is a muted neutral.

Cost Per Wear

While I have reached 30 wears on this dress, it's not quite at a dollar per wear goal so many people aim for. I bought it online from The Iconic back in September 2014, and with a discount code and it being on sale I snapped it up for $39.98. They had the same print in a shirt and I deliberated between the dress and tee, rationalising the dress was the better buy as I could wear it as a top too, which I have done a few times. So versatile, and it's currently at $1.33 a wear, with a lot of life left in it and a permanent place in my wardrobe. It may have gotten very little wear in the breastfeeding years, but I've certainly made up for that now with how often I reach for it.

Here are the 30 different ways I've worn this dress so far:

Floral Dress with Matching Colourful Handbags

Such an easy way to wear a colourful handbag with a bright dress - just pick a bag that is a similar colour to one of the colours in the print! Even if (like the burgundy crossbody bag in the middle) it's not an exact shade match.

Floral Print Dress With Blue Bags

Blue is my favourite colour and I have a lot of blue handbags! When I'm not sure what colour to wear with something, any shade of blue is an easy go-to.

Green Floral Print Dress With Pink Accessories

Pink and green is not a colour combination I wear a lot, but it's fun to try now and then. From a very subtle look with the blush pink sandals, or something a little bolder with the pink crossbody bag, pink accessories look great with this green printed dress.

Green Shift Dress Worn With Yellow

This is another example of matching something colourful to the colour in the print of the dress - the mustard cardigan and scarf, and little yellow crossbody bag look so good with the yellow in the floral print.

Floral Shift Dress Layered To Wear As A Top

I am so glad I bought the dress rather than the tee, as this dress can be worn as a tee so easily! I really like tucking it into skirts as it's a bit bulky trying to tuck it into shorts. It makes this shift dress office suitable if you tuck it into a pencil skirt, especially if you throw a blazer on top.

Layering A Printed Shift Dress

It's not just skirts you can layer this dress with - in the cooler weather I like cardigans, blazers, and of course the ever classic leather jacket to add some warmth to the short sleeved shift dress.

Wearing a Floral Shift Dress With Sneakers

Dresses and sneakers are a fashion staple and something I wear a lot of with my knee injury. I feel I default to sneakers a lot - and luckily this dress looks great with every style I have tried!

Floral Dress and Ankle Boots

Spring means the dresses, bare legs and ankle boots outfit combination is often on repeat! While I don't have a large collection of ankle boots, the different colours of the ones I do have all work well as neutrals with this colourful dress.
