Pink Tees, Maxi Skirts, and Louis Vuitton Bags

Easy autumn outfits - pink tees, maxi skirts and Louis Vuitton bags, for two very different days. A very warm and sunny day, and a very wet day!

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Wore this on a hot day to visit another local trail with my parents and the kids. One we hadn't been to before, the kids loved it! It wasn't too long a trail for my knee and it was really quiet with plenty of space to distance from people. Was good for the kids to have a bit of a run around before the wet weather set in later that week too!

Kept it simple with a tee and maxi skirt - again with my New Balance sneakers, I need support for my knee when walking even though the trail was paved. I fit some snacks for the kids and all our water bottles in the Louis Vuitton damier azur neverfull tote bag too - this is the perfect carryall and doesn't get uncomfortable even with multiple water bottles in it.

The pink tee was a nice way to add a little colour too. I liked the tassel necklace even though I wasn't sure at first if it would work with the drawstring on the maxi skirt. Really liked this outfit and the day we had out in the bush!

Last worn: pink tee, tortoiseshell necklace, drawstring maxi skirt, New Balance sneakers, Louis Vuitton neverfull.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and culottes, drawstring maxi skirt in winter, New Balance sneakers and midi dress, Louis Vuitton neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton neverfull at 38 weeks.

Louis Vuitton Handbag Collection:

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Necklace: Lovisa blue leaf long necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

I'd planned to wear this outfit to bring a bit of colour to the wet week - a little colourful cheer in the big wet. We were lucky to avoid most of the floods so it was a regular day for us with the school run, a library visit, and sports in the evening. While it was a dry morning I quickly regretted my outfit choice when we got to the library - being petite this maxi skirt is a bit on the long side and it quickly started to get wet. Accidentally stepping into a puddle on the way home after sports was the worst!

Unsuitability for the wet weather aside, I did like the outfit! The pink tee is so perfect with the blue and pink floral print on the skirt, a really pretty and cheerful combination. The navy leaf necklace was a bit of matchy-matchy with the print on the skirt too.

Once again I picked this Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere bag because it's waterproof and works well in the rain - even if we weren't out in it long, it's a handy bag to have!


Last worn: navy tassel earrings, pink tee, leaf necklace, floral maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and culottes, floral maxi skirt in monochromatic outfit, Adidas Superstar and sundress, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and graphic tee.

How You Can Wear It:

A tee and maxi skirt is a staple outfit for mum life! You can use a pink tee to add more colour to a neutral skirt, or to bring even more colour to an already bright printed skirt. The pinks match so nicely in that last outfit!

White Tees, Shorts, Sneakers and Marc By Marc Jacobs Bags

Easy outfits for the hot days of autumn that are really just an extension of the summer heat and humidity! Pairing some white tees with shorts and my Marc by Marc Jacobs bags. Because even though fashion has moved on and the brand doesn't exist any more, I still love a classic bag!

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart space dye cream and black longline top
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

This was the lightest outfit I could think of for such a hot and humid day - a soft slouchy printed white tee with loose pull on olive shorts. The chunky sneakers were nice and comfortable for a planned morning at the park after school drop off for my eldest.

I'd picked a new park to go to near a new tailor I wanted to try to get some maxi skirts fixed up. Unfortunately the park, while lovely, didn't have a shade cover. Not the best idea for such a hot day! Luckily the little one was happy to go for a walk round the park instead seeking as much shade as possible while he tried to "find a better park". Eventually the heat and lack of shade made us retreat back home to the aircon before school pickup in the afternoon.

I didn't need to carry much, a little snack and our water bottles along with the usual essentials, but I wore this big Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag anyway as I liked the way the carob brown looked with the olive embroidered shorts.


Last worn: space dye tee, feather necklace, olive embroidered shorts, chunky platform sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Other ways to wear: space dye tee and kimono, olive embroidered shorts and cardigan, chunky platform sneakers and midi dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' printed kimono
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet with Rebecca Minkoff Crystal Star Shoulder Guitar strap

Why I wore it:

This was a much more colourful outfit than the first one, and thankfully a much cooler day! I also had the benefit of working from home between the school run and not having to be out in the heat!

I've worn this pretty magenta Marc By Marc Jacobs convertible clutch with pink a few times since I first thrifted it, but I really wanted to try it with purple too. It was a great combination! This purple printed kimono has a few colours in the print which made it a nice topper with the otherwise monochromatic black denim shorts and white tee outfit. The white tee has a bit of texture to it that looks almost like a print, but it is so subtle it still worked as a good base with the colourful printed kimono. Decided not too fuss over my hair too much but it certainly looks like it could have done with a little straightening that morning 😂


Last worn: purple printed kimono, white v-neck tee, circle necklace, black denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff bag strap, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch.

Other ways to wear: purple printed kimono and matching jeans, white v-neck tee and culottes, black denim shorts with a dress, New Balance sneakers and midi, Rebecca Minkoff bag strap on love bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch with pink tee.

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and a tee is a summer staple, perfect for mum life or working from home. For a little extra interest in your outfit you can pick a white tee that has a bit of print or texture, or add a bright kimono on top.

Floral Dresses, Sneakers And Rebecca Minkoff Regan Bag: Weekday Wear Link Up

Easy autumn outfits I wore recently that would work just as well for spring! Floral dresses, sneakers, statement earrings, and my navy Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

I really love this little floral tee dress! It goes with everything, being such a fun mix of colours in the print, and it's perfect on a warm day. While I wore it quite a bit when my eldest was a tiny baby, as the boys turned into toddlers it got worn less. Now they are a bit older and I'm not crawling around on the floor with them as much, this will certainly get more wear!

I wore comfortable chunky platform sneakers with this for a little bit of running around I had to do, to support my knee but I wanted to dress it up a little for the school run so I added the statement earrings. The gold and turquoise go so well with the green dress with all the blue in the print. And this navy Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag is something I've worn with the dress in the past too, it's a nice combination.

This did end up being slightly overdressed for the days activities though! The plan was the school run, picking up some clothes I had altered at the tailors, and a quick stop at Woollies for more bread. I got up, got dressed and ready and started getting the kids ready. Then it quickly became clear that my eldest wasn't well enough for school. With his desperate pleas to go to the playground on the way home from our contactless pickup at the tailor I started to doubt how unwell he really was...but I still wasn't going to take him to a crowded playground just in case. We compromised and ended up visiting one of our favourite local trails instead, where we rarely if ever see other people during the week. I was definitely overdressed for that though 😂 Nice outfit, just not the most sensible choice for the very quiet day and little hike through the bush we ended up having.


Last worn: turquoise tassel earrings, floral tee dress, chunky platform sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Regan tote.

Other ways to wear: floral tee dress layered for winter, chunky platform sneakers and culottes, Rebecca Minkoff Regan tote worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: floral tee dress in second trimester.

30 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Regan

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Dress: Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

This was a very busy day! After the school run we had a really important appointment for my son which I'd been stressing about for a while, so I wore a lot of colour to keep myself cheerful! Thankfully, even after stopping at the library after the school run to get some books for him to read on the slightly long drive, we made it in perfect time and the appointment went well. Probably not the best earring choice though - an anxious 4 year old loves to tug on the tassels when he's in my lap and I ended up removing the earrings halfway through the appointment to save my earlobes 😂

It was a particularly hot and humid day so perhaps the blue tee knotted over this coral floral print maxi dress wasn't the best idea as it made my outfit even warmer, but I'd been wanting to try this colourful pairing for a while and knew it would be the perfect touch of colour to boost my mood, even if it was slightly too warm outside.


Last worn: navy tassel earrings, beaded necklace, blue tee, floral maxi dress, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff Regan (above).

Other ways to wear: blue tee and shorts, floral maxi dress layered for winter, Adidas Superstar and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Regan and sheath dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Floral dresses with lots of bright colours in the print can go with anything! You can dress them down a little with a pair of sneakers, or even throw a tee over the top. A neutral navy bag like this Rebecca Minkoff Regan is a good accessory pairing as it won't clash with any colours in the print.
