Blue and Green Office Outfits With Skirts And Rebecca Minkoff Edie Shoulder Bag

Both of these green and blue outfits for work feature skirts, and very different shades of green and blue together, but I like the colour pairings in each of them.


What I wore:





EarringsMIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Top: Forever New Clara cowl neck sleeveless top in teal
SkirtWarehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Felt like this lovely navy jacquard pencil skirt was overdue another wear! I used to wear pencil skirts most days to the office, but since embracing midi skirts lately my pencil skirts have been a little neglected. It was nice to get this out for another wear, and the black and navy works so well with the deep jewel green of this cowl neck tank. The tank was a Christmas present from my Mum and it's so perfect for the office, it got me a lot of compliments. I'll be wearing it more often!

Kept the casual Converse despite the rest of the dressed up outfit as I need comfortable shoes for the commute and running up and down stairs between meeting rooms in the office with my knee injury. Added another shade of blue to this outfit with the Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag, it always works well with navy.


Last worn: Mimco earrings, Tiffany necklace, jacquard pencil skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. First time I've worn the top as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wearjacquard pencil skirt and blazer, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and dress.

What I wore:






Necklace: Kelly's Kloset rainbow layered necklace
TankCle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Another green and blue outfit, this time in brighter shades. I really like this green broderie midi skirt, I wear it a lot over December as it seems so festive, but it gets worn now and then through the year as well. I paired it with this casual navy cotton tank, then worried it was a little too casual an outfit for the office as we had a colleague visiting. So I added the statement necklace to try dress this up a little, as it was much too hot for my usual go-to of a blazer. I love blazers for the office, but in the Brisbane summer heat and humidity, I really don't need another layer!

Once again I wore my Converse. They add another shade of blue to this outfit, and although they are different from the navy tank and the Luna blue Edie shoulder bag I like the different shades of blue together with the green broderie skirt.


Last worn: beaded necklace, navy tank, green broderie midi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wearnavy tank and jeans, green broderie midi skirt and printed tee, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and denim jacket.

Printed Dresses and Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

Two different white printed dress outfits, both with my wine purple Chloe Paraty bag.


What I wore:





Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Iris Maxi The Label flora print blue and white mini dress
Belt: came with dress
ShoesNike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a slightly wet day, where we headed done the coast to spend time with my parents, and enjoyed pizza for dinner. Every time I wear this dress I manage to drop something on it and this occasion was no exception, luckily once again the food washed out! 

I really like how comfortable this blue and white printed mini dress is, and with the white Nike court Royale sneakers it was a practical choice for another rainy but still humid day. I couldn't decide on a necklace for this, so ended up wearing my statement silver filigree leaf earrings, they match my silver bracelet stack and make enough of an impact I felt I could skep a necklace.

While the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag is quite a dark purple, I like purple and blue together so the darker bag was a great accessory, and it holds a lot more things than you'd expect.


Last worn: silver leaf earrings, blue printed mini dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearblue printed mini dress for Christmas, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and jeans.





What I wore:






Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Again I wore my dark wine purple Chloe Paraty bag with a light summer dress. I like the purple and orange combination with the light peachy orange leaf print on this tiered sundress. I added the darker foil necklace to compliment the darker purple of the Chloe Paraty bag as well.

This dress is such a good choice for Brisbane's summer humidity! It was an easy instant outfit for a day with the school run and working from home.
