Printed Maxi Dresses And Colourful Mini MAC Bags

Enjoying wearing two of my printed spaghetti strap maxi dresses for Summer days here in Brisbane, with colourful Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Sophia high-low maxi dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies blue and natural wooden bead bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

I felt this maxi dress was overdue another wear! It does seem a bit more dressed up sometimes so I pass over it in my wardrobe, but I got it out for a fun pool party and lunch down the coast, and really enjoyed wearing it. Although the pink in the print isn't the exact same shade as the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag, the two looked so good together. I am surprised I haven't worn the bag and dress together before actually.

I added some turquoise accessories also, as there is some turquoise in the print of the maxi dress. I liked the turquoise and gold necklace with this, and my recently thrifted wooden bracelet stack. Both easy accessories to remove when it was time to jump in the pool.


Last worn: high low ruffle hem maxi dress, turquoise beaded necklace, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: high low ruffle hem maxi dress and denim jacket, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini 5-zip bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: opal reindeer stud earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

This was a really relaxing day off! I had a couple of errands to run at the start of the day, but also treated myself to a massage. Didn't even have to cook dinner in the afternoon as we went to my favourite restaurant.

I wanted to be comfortable on such a hot day, so went with this colourful geometric print maxi dress. I like the yellow bag with it, although like in the first outfit, the yellow in the bag and yellow in the print are not an exact match. I added the bronze foil beaded necklace to this but reviewing the photos think the yellow necklace I considered instead may have been better.

This is such a nice dress to wear, and a bargain at just $1 from the opshop too. Definitely getting good value from this thrift find.

Orange Dresses and Red Accessories

Two colourful orange dresses, with red accessories for even more colour for some summer school holiday days. Orange and red is a fun combination I've started reaching for more often, I really like the red accessories with both of these orange dresses.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Necklace: thrifted red flat bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Got this amber tiered midi dress out again for a hot Sunday. It was really humid and threatening rain, but this dress keeps me nice and cool. It was perfect for church in the morning, a sports class with the kids in the afternoon, and then viewing the Christmas lights in the evening (as I wore this back in December). 

Thankfully while there were a few rain showers the sports class still went on, it only got really heavy right at the end, so they had a fun time. And the rain cleared up for us viewing the Christmas lights in the evening.

The little Rebecca Minkoff tote bag is more of an orangey-red than the beaded necklace, but I still liked these two pieces together against the amber midi dress.


Last worn: gingerbread earrings, flat red beaded necklace, amber tiered midi dress, braided sandals, micro Avery tote.

Other ways to wear: amber tiered midi dress and denim jacket, braided sandals and skirt, micro Avery tote bag worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Earrings: candy cane hoop earrings
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Repeated the orange dress and red necklace and bag combination again, because I liked it so much! Even wore the same sandals, they are comfortable and so good in the heat. It was another super hot day, so we hung out at the library for a bit enjoying the aircon there for the morning. The kids always like getting to play on the computers after picking out new books.

We headed home for lunch, and again as this was worn back in December, got a few more Christmas tasks done with some Christmas baking and decorating in preparation for Christmas Eve.

Just like in the first outfit above, the coral red necklace and the red studded saddle bag are different shades of red, but I still liked them together against this orange linen dress.


Last worn: candy cane earrings, coral necklace, orange linen dress, braided sandals (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: orange linen dress and tote bag, braided sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.
