Linen Tiered Dresses and Chloe Ethel Bag

For warmer spring days, two colourful tiered linen dresses are great for the heat! I've worn both these dresses with my little Chloe Ethel bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This light and bright orange tiered linen dress was perfect for a very hot and humid Sunday! It was pretty enough for church but cool enough for running a couple of quick errands afterwards too. There were puppy cuddles on at our local shopping centre so we got to spend a while playing with and cuddling with the puppies, it was the best. The boys really enjoyed it!

With this orange dress I liked the caramel toned Chloe Ethel against it. The official colour is light khaki but it looks a lot deeper to me. I really like the shade anyway. Added a little extra colour with the yellow tassel necklace. I loved this outfit.


Last worn: orange linen dress, yellow tassel necklace, leopard print sandals, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: orange linen dress and tote bag, leopard print sandals, Chloe Ethel bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings

Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Not as fun a day as the one above, as I had to work from home between school drop off and pick up. Still a hot and humid spring day in Brisbane though, so again I chose a linen dress to wear. I like the brightness of this dress. While it's a very different shade from the orange dress above, again I wore the Chloe Ethel bag with it, and another pair of sandals. I thrifted these braided sandals a while back during cooler weather, and now it's warmed up they've been worn a lot so far this spring.


Last worn: clay earrings, yellow linen dress, beaded necklace, braided sandals, Chloe Ethel bag (avove).

Other ways to wear: yellow linen dress and blue bag, braided sandals and jeans, Chloe Ethel bag and shorts.

Printed Tanks and Black Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote Bag

Two printed tank outfits I wore recently for different sprint days, one for a cooler day with an extra cardigan, and another on a warmer day with just a simple tank and shorts together.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest 'Hannah' print tank in paradise pink multi
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

It was a colder, cloudy spring day so I pulled out another cardigan. This black cocoon cardigan is a cosy favourite, and I thought it was nice with the matching black converse, skinny jeans, and Rebecca Minkoff black tote bag. With all the black, the coral brushstroke tank really stood out. I haven't worn this tank for a while, and it was overdue a wear! 

This was a really easy and comfortable outfit as after work we had to attend a high school tour with my son. I picked the big Rebecca Minkoff tote bag as it fits all the essentials I needed plus water bottles for us as well.

Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, pearl earring, tassel necklace, brushstroke tank, wrap bracelet, faded skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and white jeans, brushstroke tank and maxi skirt, faded skinny jeans and leather jacket, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: brushstroke tank in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer spring day, so I didn't need the jeans or a cardigan. The humidity meant these light printed shorts were a good choice, and I thought I'd try a little print mixing with the bright tank. Although different, the prints all worked together nicely. I didn't wear a necklace as the outfit was busy enough with the prints together, and also because it was a bit too warm and humid to want to wear any extra accessories!

I worked from home after the school run, and then picked the kids up from school in the afternoon before  sports. I didn't need such a large tote bag as I wasn't carrying much, but this was a nice easy one to carry and I liked how it matched the black shorts and black sandals.


Last worn: printed tank, printed shorts, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: printed tank and mustard cardigan, printed shorts and graphic tee, strappy sandals and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and dress.
