Printed Dresses, Redyed Pink Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag

Two simple printed dress outfits to try and beat the heat, both accessorised with my little pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag that I redyed.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Dress: All About Eve striped black tee dress 
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! We had a playdate down by the water with some friends. This black and white striped tee dress is super comfortable on a hot day, and it works well for a day at the beach with the kids as a bikini cover up. I didn't need to go far enough into the water to have to take this dress off in the end, which was nice! It helped keep the sun off my shoulders all day.

We had a few people joining us through the day, so we got there early to get a shaded table and I had my little pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag so I could keep my phone close to respond to messages from everyone and share where we were. Lunch was amazing, although cut a little short as the kids were so eager to get back to playing in the water.


Last worn: black and white striped tee dress, blush bead necklace, Havaianas, redyed pink mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: black and white striped tee dress and leather jacket, redyed pink mini MAC and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another comfortable dress outfit, for a slightly different day. I was picking up some family members at the airport, before heading home to WFH. I needed the sneakers for all the driving around, and decided to wear my new Nike that the kids got me. I really like them with this cute tiered sundress.

While the print on this dress is a light blush, I've enjoyed wearing it with other shades of pink in the past and I liked the darker pink mini MAC bag with this. While working from home wasn't as fun as the day above, it was good getting to spend time with family after collecting them from the airport before doing some work for the day.

Last worn: silver earrings, faux pearl necklace, tiered sundress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC bag (above).
 
Other ways to wear: tiered sundress and denim jacket, Nike Court Royale sneakers and midi dress, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC bag and denim.

Metallic Tops and Shorts With Green Mini 5-Zip Bag

Adding a little interest to simple shorts outfits with metallic tops this summer.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Singlet: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Shorts:  thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

This was another hot and humid Brisbane day and I had to go out for a couple of appointments. I went with this metallic tank and my comfortable linen shorts. They are great in the heat. I added the cover up for a little sun coverage on my bare shoulders, and I really liked the colours of the print with the turquoise shorts. The blue was a nice pairing with the turquoise linen shorts, with the green in the print as well I decided to go for green accessories. This Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and the geometric beaded necklace have been worn together frequently, it's a combination I really enjoy accessorising with.

Last worn: tropical palm print cover up, metallic tank, beaded necklace, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical palm print cover up and jeans, metallic tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts with pink, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and maxi skirt.

Tee: Just Jeans Jamie shirt tail v neck tee in coated champagne gold
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

Another metallic top and tee outfit! We decided to put one of the gift vouchers the kids got for Christmas to use and headed out to an indoor play area for an extended session. The boys loved it! I had my latest book in the reusable tote filled with their water bottles as well, as I got to sit and read and relax as they played and had a great time.

I thought this metallic gold tee was a nice choice, a little more dressy than a plain tee, and I liked it with the black printed shorts. Again I added green accessories, with the same Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and a different green beaded necklace. The sneakers were comfortable as well, and good for driving around a little after before heading home for lunch.
