Maxi Skirts, Navy Tees, Denim Jackets and Chloe Paraty Bag

Some spring maxi skirt outfits I wore recently, both with navy tees, denim jackets and blue bags. Both of these skirts were opshop finds.


What I wore:






Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This cotton maxi skirt was awesome on this hot day! It has pockets too which is always a winner. I wore it with another thrifted piece, this foil tee. I needed the denim jacket in the cooler morning, although when I was running errands later I'd taken it off, as the day warmed up so much!

The boys had a kid's birthday party and I also had a lot of errands to run. I wore the Chloe Paraty bag as I like the light periwinkle blue with both red and navy, and because it has room for all the essentials plus my latest library book for when I was waiting for an appointment between errands.





What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

This orange maxi skirt is on that is frequently worn with blue. I like the navy tee with it, it's the first time I've worn the two together surprisingly. The denim moto jacket is a frequently worn piece with this skirt though, they look so good together.

Just like the day above I didn't need the denim jacket all day though, with the weather warming up nicely as the kids had a sports session.

The Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag added another shade of blue to this outfit and also has space for all my essentials plus my latest library book so it was an obvious choice to carry.

Navy Striped Shift Dresses With Little Red Bag

Two similar striped shift dresses I wore to the office recently, with a little extra colour from my red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag.


What I wore:






Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
DressAtmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag


Why I wore it:

It was a foggy start to the morning as you can see in the background, but after I got into the office the fog was lifting and it turned into a really warm day. I was able to take the scarf off in the afternoon as I didn't need it for school pick up.

With the red heart print scarf I wanted to be a little matchy-matchy, and this little red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody bag was a great match. With the gold hardware on the bag I added the gold glitter earrings for more matching too. I really liked this outfit, this navy and black striped dress is a great neutral that always works with any accessories.

What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag


Why I wore it:

Another day in the office, another striped shift dress! This one was a $1 opshop find and I'm certainly getting great value from that spend! It's surprisingly the first time I've worn this dress and the little red Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag together before, it seems like such an obvious combo as red looks so good with navy and white.

Added my white leather Converse (also an opshop find!) as they are a great matchy-matchy choice, and added the blue toned necklace. I really like statement necklaces with this dress, it's such a good backdrop to wear them against with the navy and white stripes. I also felt it made the dress a little less casual, as we had an event on in the office so there were a lot of people in.


Last worn: navy white striped shift dress, blue toned necklace, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag (above).
