Floral Kimonos, Colourful Tanks and Black Denim With Rebecca Minkoff Love Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two spring outfits with floral kimonos, bright tanks and black denim for a couple of fun days back in September.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Tank: Asos satin singlet in pink
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral

Why I wore it:

This had been a much warmer than expected spring day so I didn't want to layer up too much for a BBQ at a friend's place that evening. Definitely needed to change my outfit to this though - after being at a playdate at the park in the morning I had some lovely little strawberry stains all over my tee courtesy of my little one!

This long duster kimono with the black Nobody Denim skinny jeans was just the right outfit to keep me cosy in the evening. I'm sure sitting near the pizza oven helped too. It did start getting quite cool after 8pm and I wondered if I should have gone for a cardigan but by then the kids were practically falling asleep, both having been at parties earlier in the day, so it was time to call it an early night at 9pm anyway.

This pink tank hasn't been worn in a while, and so was overdue a wear. I thought it was nice with the different shades of pink in the floral print of the kimono, and a nice backdrop for this clover necklace I thrifted last month.

Because we had our baby bag filled with toys and water bottles for the kids I kept it simple with the little peach Rebecca Minkoff small love bag - perfect for just the essentials like my mask, phone, wallet and keys. I really liked the orange and pink combination too!

Last worn: tropical floral duster, pink satin tank, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop buy.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral duster and white shorts, pink satin tank and pencil skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar and midi dress, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag and orange tee.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink satin tank and hidden second trimester bump.

Ways To Wear Bright Bags

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: Jeanswest Sara distressed hot short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

Similar to the outfit above - floral kimono, bright block colour tank, and black denim. But shorts this time as it was a really warm and sunny day. I picked this magenta long sleeve floral kimono to wear to keep my arms covered up from the sun, and because it's quite light and wouldn't overheat me. I appreciated the arm coverage in the cooler aircon too. 

After a morning enjoying the beach and playground at Southbank we headed to the Lego Brickman exhibition at the museum. We'd been trying to get tickets for a while with a week or two notice but it was always sold out, so we took a chance and booked tickets a month out. So happy we finally got to go and Covid cases stayed at 0 so there were no lockdowns to change our plans! The kids loved it. There were some amazing Lego creations, and plenty of Lego around for the kids to try their own handiwork too.

I needed a bag that would fit my camera and the essentials in it - and this cobalt Love bag pairs so nicely with the blue in the floral print of the kimono. I liked how colourful this outfit was with the magenta, cobalt and turquoise together. Hubby had the backpack filled with everyone's water bottles and some snacks too, so I probably could have gone for a smaller bag for my things, but this just went with my outfit so well!


Last worn: magenta floral kimono, turquoise tank, beaded necklace, distressed denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love bag.

Other ways to wear: magenta floral kimono and white tee, turquoise tank and maxi skirt, distressed denim shorts and stripes, Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love bag and jeans.

How You Can Wear It:

A bright block colour tank is easy to wear with prints. You can pair it with a kimono that has similar colours in the print, like in the first outfit, or contrast it entirely like the turquoise and magenta combo in the second outfit.

Colourful Jeans, Floral Kimonos and Chloe Bags

More jeans, tee and Converse outfits for autumn as I enjoy the cooler weather meaning I can wear my jeans again after a particularly warm start to autumn! Adding more colour to my outfits with floral kimonos and colourful jeans, and wearing a couple of my Chloe handbags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: Lovisa mixed texture beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I was surprised to see I hadn't worn this dark floral print kimono with the magenta jeans before! While the floral print is purple and doesn't have any magenta in it, I do love pink and purple together. With all that colour the dark grey tee was the perfect pieces to wear in between. My friend Sheila had worn a similar necklace on her blog so I remembered this one that was overdue another wear. I think the grey beads were just different enough for the darker grey of the tee that they worked together, and the gold matched the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag.

It was a thankfully rain free morning with a couple of errands and a trip to the library. We even managed a play in the playground as it wasn't too wet after all the rain. We then had a nice relaxing afternoon at home until there was a little accident with my son that required a quick dash to the hospital in the evening. Luckily he didn't need stitches, just needed a little glue to help things heal up, although he now has a scar. He was quite surprised by all the attention he got from the kids when he went to school the next week with him being all bandaged up!


Last worn: purple floral kimono, beaded necklace, dark grey tee, magenta jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple floral kimono and denim skirt, dark grey tee worn 30 ways, magenta jeans and leather jacket, Converse and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and printed skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: dark grey tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

My Chloe Handbag Collection

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was thankfully a much more boring and uneventful day! Just the regular working form home and school run, with no surprises or hospital trips. Again I went with jeans and a tee and my trusty Converse. This time around it was neutral olive jeans, a white tee, and some extra colour with this fun tropical floral print duster. That somehow I haven't worn with these olive jeans before, even though I really like navy and green together!

The little Chloe Ethel bag was a good neutral accessory and while I didn't need to carry much I love how roomy this bag is despite the small size.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, speckled tee, gold circle necklace, olive jeans, Converse (above), Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and shorts, speckled tee and maxi skirt, olive jeans and mustard cardigan, Converse and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a style staple. You can add a little more print and colour with a fun floral kimono as I have here, and try some different coloured jeans instead of a classic blue pair too.

Colourful Jeans, Converse and Kimonos | Weekday Wear Link Up

Simple jeans and tee outfits with some colourful kimonos and denim for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Two comfortable outfits that I wore back in the winter school holidays in June.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I had a couple of quick errands to run in the morning before working from home for a few hours, a trip to the library and playground with the kids in the afternoon, before dinner and sports in the evening. I knew I wasn't going to have to layer up too much as all the running around would keep me warm! It was the perfect opportunity to give this navy tie dye kimono another wear.

I really like these magenta jeans with navy, and so I thought this navy tee would be a good pairing. It does have some fun fluted sleeves which unfortunately were covered up by the kimono though - felt like a bit of a waste hiding the cute sleeves of the tee under the kimono! The block navy colour was perfect with the tie dye print and magenta pink of the jeans though. Added the gold necklace to match the little gold hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag.

Last worn: tie dye kimono, navy tee, gold circle necklace, magenta jeans, white Converse All Star, pink mini 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: tie dye kimono and shorts, navy tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and leather jacket, white Converse All Star and midi skirt, pink mini 5 zip bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse Chucks and maternity shorts.

Mini MAC and 5 Zip Bag Comparison:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Top: Jeanswest black scoop neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

Although this was a wet day it was still pretty warm! We were lucky to miss most of the rain in the morning, as it didn't start raining heavily until I had dropped the kids off at their holiday program, and it wasn't raining in the afternoon. Was another busy day as I had to work from home while the kids were out. My mum came over in the afternoon too.

Kept it simple - surprisingly despite the burgundy jeans pairing so nicely with the red florals in the print of this duster I haven't worn them together frequently! I thought the plain black tee was a good basic piece, and to stop the outfit being too dark I added some turquoise accessories with the beaded necklace and the little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, turquoise beaded necklace, black tee, burgundy jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and chambray dress, black tee and shorts, burgundy jeans and stripe tee, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and culottes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, mini MAC and non-maternity clothes in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A staple jeans and tee outfit is perfect for working from home, and you can make it even more colourful with different denim instead of classic blue, and add a kimono on top.

Blue V-Neck Tees, Denim Shorts, Navy Kimonos and Sorbet Pink Balenciaga City Bag

For today's Weekday Wear Linkup, more outfits for school holiday adventures with the kids! As we had warmer days back in April I kept it simple and fairly monochrome with blue tees and denim shorts, and blue printed kimonos. The sorbet Pink Balenciaga city bag added a little extra burst of colour with all the blue too.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day but required a lot of walking so I wore my comfortable New Balance sneakers to support my knee.

Wore the floral print duster for sun coverage but it was really hot and humid so I regretted it a little a couple times in the middle of the day when the heat was at the maximum. By the time we got to the beach in the afternoon though it was really breezy and I was glad I'd thrown it on top of my shorts and tee outfit.

With the baby blue tee and pale denim Bermuda shorts too the tropical floral print on the duster was a nice way to break up the monochrome look. As was the pink marble necklace and the sorbet Pink Balenciaga city bag. I was a little sad I'd chosen this bag in the afternoon though when one of the tassels snapped off, but it had been looking like it was about to fall off anyway. The bag is 11 years old so one snapped tassel isn't too bad!


Last worn: tropical floral print kimono, pastel blue tee, marble necklace, Bermuda denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print kimono and skater dress, pastel blue tee and maxi skirt, Bermuda denim shorts and embroidered tunic, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet pink city at 37 weeksbag.

30 Ways To Wear: Balenciaga Sorbet Pink City Bag

See the post here too: https://awayfromtheblue.blogspot.com/2020/08/30-ways-to-wear-balenciaga-city-bag.html

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet 

Why I wore it:

This was a much darker monochrome outfit, with the navy tee and again blue denim shorts. These distressed boyfriend shorts were an opshop find and have quickly become a staple! Unlike the first outfit, the blue printed kimono added to the monochromatic look so I relied on accessories to break up the blue a little, like the blush tassel necklace and of course the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag again. It just works so well with blue! Even kept the blue going with my cute little blue Converse Chucks. They were perfect as I didn't have too much walking to do.

Took the kids out to the playground in the morning to run off some of their energy and get them out the house - the problem for my hubby working from home during the school holidays is trying to work from home with the kids making a lot of noise! After the playground we picked up some new books at the library and then went shopping for a birthday present for an upcoming birthday before heading home for lunch.

Last worn: blue printed kimono, navy v-neck tee, blush and gold necklace, distressed denim shorts, blue Converse All Star, Balenciaga sorbet city bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue printed kimono and white shorts, navy v-neck tee worn two ways, distressed denim shorts with pink and purple, blue Converse and culottes, Balenciaga sorbet city bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet city bag in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A blue tee works so nicely with classic blue denim! To break up all that blue you can add some bright contrasting accessories like a pink bag, or a vibrant printed kimono to introduce more variety to your outfit.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Blue and Yellow Tanks, Denim Shorts and Kimono Outfits

Colourful blue and yellow outfits with denim shorts, tanks and kimonos for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Both the blue and yellow tanks are the same style, I just had to buy it in two different colours when it went on sale 😅

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in chartreuse
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

What a surprising day! Just as we pulled up to school they announced on the radio that Brisbane would be going into lockdown that night and it would be my son's last day of school for the term. There had been a couple of events and activities planned for the last week of school so that was a bit upsetting - but to be honest my son handled it better than I did! I kept remembering when this happened in 2020 and we went into lockdown to end the school term early and it turned into weeks at home and online learning...so glad it wasn't the case this year and the 3 day Brisbane lockdown was actually lifted early.

Thankfully my son's teacher still welcomed me to help out in his class room as normal, even if we did a few different things to help her cram a weeks worth of last week of term activities into one day instead of our regular helping with learning! The school handled it well. One of the activities planned for the end of the school day still went ahead, so we were able to enjoy that at school pick up before heading home to start lockdown, as sports later that evening was cancelled so we wouldn't be out when lockdown came into effect.

I had a grocery delivery coming the next day that I'd ordered online as usual so I didn't need to join any queues at the supermarkets, unlike last time there was a surprise lockdown and we were out of bread. My youngest son and I did decide to go get a few more books from the library though, just in case the 3 day lockdown was extended. We were not the only ones stocking up on books! 😅 I was jealous of the lady who turned up with a literal cart and just started filling it with books!

It was nice I had picked such a cheerful outfit for a stressful day - this mustard yellow tank looks really good with the navy floral duster kimono, and I thought the teal earrings were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Last worn: floral duster kimono, teal earrings, silver sunburst necklace, mustard yellow tank, denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff croc Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: floral duster kimono and skater dress, mustard yellow tank in the office, denim shorts and embroidered top, Rebecca Minkoff croc Love Too bag and maxi dress.

Choosing a Bag For Every Occasion:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Eliza summer poncho in yellow floral
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a little stroll along our favourite trail. This turquoise tank is such a bold shade of blue and it pairs so nicely with yellow! So this outfit is a blue tank and yellow kimono, inverse of the one above! Wore this a few days before the lockdown announcement, when it wasn't even on our mind.

Thought bright and colourful would be nice for our little walk, and of course I needed my New Balance sneakers to provide support along the trail. Took my big Louis Vuitton neverfull tote to fit all our water bottles and some snacks in - it's a big bag but it's so light and is perfect for carrying along all the kids things as well as mine!

Again I stuck with denim Bermuda shorts, these black ones matched the shoes and balanced out the bright blue and yellow nicely I thought.

Last worn: yellow kimono, navy tassel necklace, turquoise tank, black denim shorts, New Balance sneakers (above), Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote.

Other ways to wear: yellow kimono and olive green, turquoise tank and pencil skirt, black denim shorts and a dress, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote worn 30 ways.

How You Can Wear It 

Blue and yellow look so good together - in any shade combination! Try mustard yellow and navy, or even blue denim! And turquoise works well with and equally bright and sunny shade of yellow too.

Jeans and Tee Outfits With Printed Kimonos and Chloe Marcie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing more autumn outfits with skinny jeans, sneakers, colourful tees, kimonos and my Chloe Marcie hobo bag. I love autumn days where a light layer like a kimono is all you need with a pair of jeans to keep warm.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' printed kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a busy, but fun day! Had the usual school run, helping in my son's classroom, some time working from home before school pickup in the afternoon, and then shopping with my sister after I picked the kids up. We both only needed to grab a couple of things, but since she was near the bayside area she called and we decided to do our shopping together, and then have dinner. Was a very productive day.

With the deep purple tee and black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and black Converse, this was looking like a very dark outfit! I thought that the Chloe Marcie lightened it up a little, as did the gold necklace which was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the hardware on the bag, even if it's slightly different shades of gold. I added the kimono to brighten the outfit up even more, although the purple tones in the tee and print are very different I thought they worked nicely together. Even if it was a little bit warm in the middle of the day, I was thankful for the kimono when things cooled off in the afternoon.


Last worn: purple printed kimono, slouchy tee, gold circle necklace, black Nobody Denim jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple printed kimono and shorts, slouchy tee over a dress, black Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Converse and navy dress, Chloe Marcie bag and printed skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: slouchy tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Chloe Handbag Collection: Past and Present

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Another working from home day while the kids were at school, and a very chilly start to the morning! I did wonder if this kimono was going to be warm enough, but thankfully the day heated up a little. Another pair of black skinny jeans as well - these were just $1 and in my size at the opshop so I couldn't say no! Good denim is hard to find, especially when you're petite like me so I was thrilled with these!

Added the bright red tee - very bold and colourful with the black - not just because it matched the red flowers in the floral print of the duster, but because it would help ensure my son saw me at school. He was getting given an award and I wanted to show up at the ceremony and surprise him. He definitely had no problems noticing me!

Ended up taking this bracelet stack off when making a lot of noise at my desk trying to type up meeting notes! But I did like how the faux pearls matched the freshwater pearls on my tassel necklace nicely, even if they weren't the most practical choice for a day at my desk with lots of note taking!


Last worn: tropical floral duster, red tee, pearl and tassel necklace, bracelet stack, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie bag (above). First time I've worn these jeans as they were a summer thrift find.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral duster and skirt, red tee and Bermuda shorts, Adidas Superstar sneakers and culottes, Chloe Marcie bag and printed dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Colourful printed kimonos are a great layer to add before the temperatures get too cold! They provide a lot of extra print and colour to a classic jeans and tee outfit.
