Green and Grey Denim Skirt and Tee Outfits

Two green and grey casual outfits, both with printed cover ups and again my teal Mimco cocoon bag that's become a real go-to for me since I bought it late last year.

What I wore:

Jacket: Seed Heritage black printed poncho
Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Target embroidered khaki tank
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day despite the heat! The kids had an art class at the library in the morning that was really good, then we had lunch and headed into the city for a very busy Brisbane Bookfest. I really enjoyed the $2.50 book section, and the kids weren't too upset about the long wait to get into the comic section as they came home with so many new comic and gaming books, they were really pleased!

I wanted to cover up my shoulders as a physical barrier against the sun when we were walking around, but it was too hot to consider a tee so I picked this pretty embroidered tank that hasn't been worn in a while. With the black embroidery I thought this black cover up was a good matchy-matchy choice, as were the black sandals. The grey denim skirt of course goes with everything, it was a great Vinnies (opshop) find. 

While the teal Mimco cocoon bag doesn't match the khaki green of the tank, once again I enjoyed wearing this bag with other shades of green. And I had a few big reusable totes for us to our preloved book haul at bookfest, that our water bottles and some snacks fit inside so I just needed a crossbody bag for the essentials.


Last worn: pink clay earrings, black and white printed duster, Tiffany heart necklace, green embroidered tank, grey Nobody Denim skirt, black sandals, Mimco teal cocoon bag.

Other ways to wear: black and white printed duster and shorts, green embroidered tank and maxi skirt, grey Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, black sandals and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bag and blazer.

What I wore:

Jacket: Woven Heart gold floral kimono
Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: Jeanswest light olive denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Another cover up and another grey and green outfit. This time around I wore a pale green distressed denim skirt with a grey top. I wore this to work from home, with an appointment for the kids in the afternoon. I like simple tee outfits when working from home. 

I added a little more interest to this for video calls and a little physical sunblock with the floral print duster. I like the mix of colours it added to the neutral outfit, and with the blues and greens in the floral print I thought the Mimco teal cocoon bag was a pretty good pairing as well. I really liked this outfit.

Last worn: floral duster, pearl necklace, wooden bracelet set, grey tee, olive denim skirt, Havaianas, Mimco teal cocoon bag (above).

Other ways to wear: floral duster and jeans, grey tee and shorts, olive denim skirt with yellow, Mimco teal cocoon bag and dress.

Camis and Midi Skirts With Mimco Teal Cocoon Bag

Two simple midi skirt and cami outfits, with my Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag, for office days recently. I would usually cover up a spaghetti strap cami with a blazer for in the office, but these were such hot and humid summer days I didn't add a layer for the commute. I always have a cardigan at my desk at work though, that I used on both these days to cover up my shoulders when working.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold stud ball earrings
Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Cami: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirt: no label cream and brown floral print midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This pretty brown floral print midi skirt looks so good with the plain mint cami! I liked the colour pairing together, and then I went a little more matchy-matchy, with the white Converse, and the wooden accessories matching the brown and white on the skirt. Even though the wooden necklace and wooden beaded bracelets are different shades I liked them together with this skirt. 

I added the teal Mimco cocoon bag, although it is completely different from the pale green of the cami I thought it was a nice accessory and I have been reaching for it a lot lately. Was a great outfit for a busy office day, and I appreciated the tiered maxi skirt and spaghetti strap cami keeping me cool when I was outdoors in the humidity on the way too and from the office. Great first wear for this pretty skirt I got for Christmas as well.


Last worn: wooden necklace, wooden bracelet set, mint cami, floral midi skirt, white Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bag. 

Other ways to wear: mint cami and shorts, midi skirt and grey tee, white Converse and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bag and blazer.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Top: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes:  Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Another cami and skirt combination, this time with a printed cami and a linen button up midi skirt. Last time I tried this midi skirt with a printed top I wasn't too sure about the resulting outfit, but I really liked this one! This cheetah print cami, like most animal print, really goes with everything! I added a little more blue to this with the blue Converse and navy beaded necklace. Although unlike the accessories in the first outfit they don't really match, I like wearing different shades of blues with this skirt.

And again I wore my teal Mimco cocoon bag, it's just such a great crossbody bag for all my essentials as I carry my laptop in a work-issued laptop bag.


Last worn: cheetah print cami, navy beaded necklace, blue linen midi skirt, blue Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bag (above).
 
Other ways to wear: cheetah print cami and shorts, blue linen midi skirt with green, blue Converse and dress, teal Mimco cocoon bag and shorts.
