Printed Dresses, Bright Blazers and Mimco Teal Cocoon Bucket Bag

Wearing two pretty floral print dresses that I tried to make a little more formal for office days by adding bright blazers on top.


What I wore:






Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagMimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

I've worn this Jaase Celine dress into the office before. It's my go-to dress for special events, but I think with a blazer it looks a little more formal for a day at work. We had a lunch event on so I ended up taking the blazer off, the long sleeves on this dress kept me warm enough.

I really liked the orange blazer with the autumn leaves print on the dress, it was a great combination. I added the teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag as I've been loving wearing it lately, even though it doesn't match any of the colours in this print I liked the teal with the orange blazer and navy dress. The orange blazer just pops with everything I've worn it with.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, orange blazer, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress, white Converse, Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold Christmas present bow hoops
NecklaceSilhoupette gold plated Shih Tzu necklace
Dress: Boho Luxe floral print maxi dress (from my sister's wardrobe)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagMimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

My sister recently brought over a bunch of pieces she didn't want any more, and when I saw this dress I knew I had to have it! I always love a maxi dress. Wore it for another wet but humid day, again as I did with the dress above by adding the blazer to make it a little more office appropriate.

There were a few of us in the office on this day and we smiled when we realised most of us were wearing maxi dresses - I love unexpected coordinating like that! It was a day full of meetings so I kept the blazer on as we rushed between meeting rooms, but at least I was colourful and comfortable. The teal Mimco bag was a good match to the blues and turquoises in the print of the dress too I thought.


Last worn: gold silhouette necklace, cobalt blazer, blue Converse, Mimco cocoon bag (above). First time I've worn this dress as it's from my sister's wardrobe, and first time I've worn the earrings as they were a gift last Christmas.

Blue Printed Dresses and Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip Bag

Braided sandals, braided bag strap and my blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag with two different blue printed dresses. Both of these days were very hot and humid so I wanted something light to wear, these dresses were perfect!


What I wore:





Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dressthrifted no label blue checked smock sundress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

I thrifted this dress a while back and this was it's third wear. Not bad for a $1 opshop find!  I am not entirely sure if the v-neck is the front or back, as it has no tags at all, but last time I wore it I put the v-neck to the back. It was nice to try it worn this way for something a little different.

Just added simple sandals and a practical crossbody bag as I didn't need to walk far or carry much. My son and I went on a little Christmas shopping trip and stopped off at the puppy cuddles event to get some snuggles in with some adorable dogs before we headed home for lunch.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, checked smock dress, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag.

What I wore:






Earrings: gingerbread house earrings (Christmas present from last year)
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

Another hot day, another simple blue printed dress. Again with the same accessories because if something works I tend to just repeat the formula over again! This was not as fun as the day above, but definitely just as hot and humid, if not hotter! I was working from home and had a couple of errands to do after the school pickup in the afternoon. I like how well this tiered sundress keeps me cool on hot days, it's definitely a firm favourite of mine. I'm always surprised to find I've not reached 30 wears on it yet, I feel I wear it a lot in Brisbane's warmer months.


Last worn: blue tiered sundress, necklace, braided sandals (above), Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag (above). First time I've worn the earrings as they were a Christmas gift.
