Orange Tiered Dresses and Yellow Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag

Two orange tiered dresses, both with sneakers and yellow accessories for recent office days. Even though both dresses are different shades of orange, the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag compliments both shades nicely.


What I wore:



Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
DressJeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
ShoesNike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I headed into the office after the school drop off, and then was back in the city again for a later afternoon appointment for my son after school. I picked this cute orange tiered linen dress to wear as it was a warm day, and I wanted to be comfortable for the driving around as well as the time in the office and at the appointment in the afternoon. The Nike sneakers were a good choice for all the driving as well.

I've worn yellow with this orange dress before, but this time I went all out with the yellow accessories! yellow tassel earrings and tassel necklace as well as the yellow mini 5-zip bag.

What I wore:






EarringsMIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

Unlike the day above, this was a bit cooler and rainy so I opted for a longer dress to keep my legs covered. Just like in the first outfit, I went with a lot of yellow accessories, with this cute thrifted necklace with the yellow stones and beads matching the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. I wore my Adidas sneakers as a nice closed in option for the impending rain, but luckily I had managed to time my commute so that I missed all of the rain. I got into the office before it started and it stopped for a bit in the afternoon as I made my way home.

While it was a little cooler in the autumn morning I enjoyed getting another wear of this midi dress without a jacket - it will be jackets every day soon as it's getting cooler each morning.

Colourful Tees, Printed Culotte Shorts and Chloe Marcie Shoulder Bag

On some warmer autumn days I got out my printed Kmart culotte shorts, and paired them with basic block colour tees and my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.


What I wore:






EarringsMichael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This colourful mango yellow tee hadn't been worn in a while so it was overdue another wear! I thought it was perfect for being bright and noticeable as I sat on the sidelines of my son's sport activity at school. It was so good getting to cheer them on, although the unexpected rain did put a bit of a damper on things, it cleared up in time for the kids to compete.

Because I had forgotten an umbrella I was glad I'd gone with this light shorts and tee outfit - it dried out nice and quickly for working from home later in the day. My friends and I huddled in the sidelines under blankets and umbrellas from those who had them, but it wasn't quite enough to keep us all dry. I had my water bottle and a hat with me so I went for this big Chloe Marcie bag - it holds so much, perfect size for all the essentials and more.


Last worn: blue stud earrings, mango yellow tee, blue beaded necklace, lemon print navy culotte shorts, white Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

What I wore:






NecklaceRoie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Another shorts and tee outfit for the school run and working from home. I like these pastel print culottes, they are the same style as the pair above, but a different print and colour. They were a lucky opshop find. I decided to try them with this pastel blue tee. I wasn't sure if it was too much pastel at first, but I think this long necklace helped tie the pieces together nicely and added a bit of contrast.

While I didn't have a lot to carry with me, again I wore my Chloe Marcie bag, as being in a rush that morning it was easier not to have to change over my bag. The neutral brown works well with the blues and greys in this outfit I thought.


Last worn: pastel blue tee, pearl tassel necklace, pastel print culotte shorts, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie bag (above).
