Weekday Wear Linkup: Floral Duster Kimonos With Colourful Skinny Jeans

Slightly cheating with today's Weekday Wear Linkup post, as I only wore one of these outfits during the week - the other I wore on a Sunday when I needed to get the boys out the house. Both incredibly similar though, and definitely the kind of thing I wear through the week for the school run. Duster kimonos just work so well with colourful jeans!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

Hubby had started doing some yard work so the back yard was off limits for the kids and instead I took them out to run around along our favourite local trail. I decided at the last minute (after I'd taken these pics) to swap to my daggy walking shoes instead of my Converse and I'm glad I did as although we took their bike and scooter we left them at the side of the trail as we headed off the track a few times, and my knee needed the extra support hiking through the bush.

I really liked all the bright colours in this outfit! I wasn't sure about the navy tee with the navy floral print duster but I wanted to give it a try - I think this marle tee was the perfect one to wear with it as it wasn't too matchy-matchy, just different enough to work with the darker navy of the kimono. I matched the necklace and jeans to the print on the kimono too, picking out the tiny pink flowers in the print to wear this marble and gold necklace with my magenta Sass and Bide skinny jeans.

The Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack is my go-to bag for spending time out with the kids, fits all our water bottles and some snacks for the walk nicely!

Last worn: floral duster kimono, gold and marble necklace, navy marle tee, magenta skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Other ways to wear: floral duster kimono over a dress, navy marle tee over a maxi dress, magenta skinny jeans with purple, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack with green jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Favourite Rebecca Minkoff Bag In My Handbag Collection:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah Long Line Kimono in Green Floral
Necklace: Lovisa blue leaf long necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit worn a few days later! Again I picked colourful jeans, Converse, a floral duster and a blue bag. The white tee again matched the print on my kimono, the white florals this time. The olive skinny jeans didn't match and I was worried that the two greens together would be too much, but I think the olive when nicely with the green of the duster and the blue leaf necklace and micro Bedford bag broke up the green nicely. I really liked this outfit!

After the school drop off we spent some time exploring the local trails again before the school pickup in the afternoon. I'm enjoying being able to get out with the kids so much in this nice weather, although I did wish a couple of times I'd worn shorts instead of jeans as it was a really warm spring day!

Last worn: green floral duster, navy leaf necklace, white v-neck tee, olive skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and shorts, white v-neck tee and maxi skirt, olive skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and tee dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Floral dusters are a great spring layer to add to a casual jeans and tee outfit. You can use them to add extra colour or print, or match the colours in the print to the jeans and tee you wear.

Colourful Tees, Bright Kimonos and Bermuda Shorts: Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing some bright Cotton On "The One" v-neck tees with Bermuda shorts, floral duster kimonos and my periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag for this week's Weekday Wear Link Up.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah Long Line Kimono in Green Floral
Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue (new purchase)
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a busy day! I regretted layering up with this kimono for the walk to school as it was a really hot day! After school drop off though we headed out to a bayside park to spend the morning and I much appreciated the cool breeze off the water, the heat and humidity was a little more bearable then! After my son's doctor appointment in the afternoon we ended up just playing at home in the aircon keeping cool.

Although this pastel blue tee isn't quite the same shade as the Chloe Paraty bag I thought the two shades of blue worked well together, and I really like the green floral duster with them, such a nice layering piece even if it felt a bit too much for the hot morning. I liked the white Bermuda shorts with them too, a nice neutral to balance out all the colour, but the shorts did get a little dirty at the playground - need to remember there are not playground friendly shorts when your son has been running around in bark all day and accidentally kicks you as you push him on the swing, haha! Thankfully all the dirt came off in the washing machine!

Last worn: green floral kimono, pearl tassel necklace, pastel blue tee, white Bermuda shorts, wrap bracelet, white Converse Chucks, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral kimono and jeans, pastel blue tee and maxi skirt, white Bermuda shorts and embroidered tank, white Converse Chucks and striped dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and blue dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse Chucks in second trimester.

How To Adjust The Strap On The Chloe Paraty Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono

Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee:  Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Although there's no orange in the floral print of this navy duster, I thought the orange tee would go really nicely with it. I like the touch of colour this tee adds to an outfit. And unlike the day above, I appreciated the duster kimono on this day! It was a busy day, working from home after the school drop off and taking my son to an appointment in the afternoon. This colour combination with the tropical floral print and the orange tee was really colourful and cheerful and a nice mood booster for a busy day.

Again I wore my Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag, it's been a go-to bag lately as I love the colour and it's the right size for everything I need to carry day to day, including water bottles for us all. I just wore it on this day as again I needed something quick and easy to get dressed with, and it already had all my things inside it from the previous time I wore it!


Last worn: tropical floral print duster kimono, beaded necklace, orange v-neck tee, Bermuda denim shorts, Adidas Superstar, Chloe small Paraty (above).

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster kimono and dress, orange v-neck tee and stripes, Bermuda denim shorts and scarf, Adidas Superstar and midi dress, Chloe small Paraty and maxi.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a staple outfit for mum life! To change it up a little you can try a bright tee and introduce more colour and print with a duster kimono like these floral ones.

Autumnal Coloured Outfits With Floral Kimonos and Black Tote Bag

Layering up some floral kimonos with more muted autumn-coloured outfits, black New Balance sneakers and my frequent go-to black bag, the Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

What I wore:

Jacket: Woven Heart gold floral kimono
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a strange kind of day! It was quite overcast but still bright enough to make me squint without my sunnies on! It was really windy too so I wasn't entirely sure that this kimono would be enough to keep me warm on top of my jeans and tee outfit. While it didn't warm up as much as I hoped, I thankfully didn't freeze on the playground - even with the breeze! I was glad of that, as I really wanted to wear this kimono and tee together - I thought the navy in the tee matched the navy in the floral print nicely!

While there's no olive in the kimono, these jeans are a great neutral that go with a lot, and were super comfortable for a morning at the playground with the kids. We went to one that was a little further away, but a firm favourite, so the New Balance sneakers were essential to support my knee on the longer than usual drive.

Last worn: brown floral kimono, navy tee, terrazzo necklace, olive jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: brown floral kimono and denim skirt, navy tee over maxi dress, olive jeans for long haul flight, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and maxi skirt.

What's In My Rebecca Minkoff Black Unlined Tote Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

I'm still not sure this outfit entirely worked! I liked the burgundy tee with the black printed shorts, and since I was loving denim skirts over summer, these cute printed shorts have been a bit neglected and were definitely overdue a wear. It was a lot cooler than I expected that morning though. I decided to add this long duster to layer up a little as we had another morning at the playground, with a couple of errands and a library trip on the way. Thankfully it warmed up a lot and was nice and sunny when we got to the playground.

I thought the small white print on these shorts was subtle enough that it didn't clash badly with the floral print on the duster, but looking at the photos the print seems a lot bolder than it did in the mirror that morning! I'm still pleased I tried something a little different with this duster and a bit of print mixing, even if I wouldn't repeat this again.


Last worn: tropical floral duster, burgundy tee, beaded necklace, printed black shorts, New Balance sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: tropical floral duster and shorts, burgundy tee in capsule wardrobe, printed black shorts and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Your floral kimonos can still work in autumn! They layer nicely with dark colours like burgundy and black and navy and olive, as I've worn in these two outfits.

Denim Shorts, Camis, and Kimonos With Rebecca Minkoff Tote Bag

Wearing two H&M camis with denim and kimonos for some easy summer outfits. The camis and outfits themselves are different although both feature florals, denim, and a staple kimono for extra shoulder coverage, as well as my Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace (Christmas gift)
Cami: H&M mint v-neck cami
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Wore this to enjoy a public holiday with the family back at the end of January. We headed yet again to another playground with a bike track for the kids to enjoy. With the high Covid cases in Brisbane after they opened the borders and removed the need for people to quarantine before entering the state, we've been preferring outdoor activities with lots of open spaces. I wasn't too sure if the park would be busy for the day off, but the cloudy day and frequent showers kept it quiet. It was a strange morning, very humid and cloudy, but once the first rain shower arrived it started to cool off. 

This cute tropical floral print duster was a great topper over the mint cami and black Bermuda denim shorts outfit. I think it would have been too chilly without it. Luckily the rain was just a light drizzle for a few minutes every now and then so didn't stop the kids having fun, but eventually we had enough of it and headed home. In good timing too as the rain seemed to set in for a bit and get heavier after lunch time.

It was good to give this pretty black beaded necklace a wear - a Christmas gift that I hadn't gotten around to wearing yet as I got a few necklaces for Christmas. I thought it worked nicely with the black denim shorts and the black Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag, as well as matching the stripes on the Adidas Superstar sneakers. I do love a bit of matchy-matchy!

Last worn: floral print duster, mint cami, black Bermuda denim shorts, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote. First time I've worn the black and gold double strand bead necklace as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: floral print duster and jeans, mint cami with blue, black Bermuda denim shorts and a shirt dress, Adidas Superstar and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and maxi skirt.

Rebecca Minkoff Bags I Got For Christmas:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly kimono in dusty pink
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Cami: H&M blue floral crinkle knot front button down cami
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was such an easy outfit for another summer holiday playdate. This outfit is basically following the same formula as the last time I wore this cami, just with different coloured shorts, kimono and bag!

For a super hot day this light crinkle floral knot front cami was perfect, but I still wanted a little more sun coverage on my arms as it just has spaghetti straps, so I added this pretty blush kimono mum got me for Christmas. With the knot front this cami can feel a little short, even on my petite self, so I paired it with these high waisted Bermuda denim shorts. And comfortable Converse for running around in the playground with the kids.

I carried my big Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag but it wasn't really overly stuffed as I had a big green tote with a picnic blanket and some snacks for all the kids at the playdate. Despite the heat we ended up spending a lot of time at the park, which the kids loved, as I was having a great time chatting to my friend.

Last worn: pink kimono, gold charm necklace, floral button up cami, Bermuda denim shorts, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: pink kimono and skirt, floral button up cami and jeans, Bermuda denim shorts and green duster, Converse and leopard print jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and navy dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse and maternity shorts.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A cami and denim shorts is a nice outfit for a hot day, but for a little extra sun coverage for your shoulders, add a kimono on top! If you've got a plain cami you can go with a printed kimono, or for a printed cami try a block colour kimono like I have in the second outfit.

Orange Tops, Cobalt Bag, Floral Kimonos and Denim

Two bright and colourful outfits, wearing some orange tops with my cobalt blue Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo love bag. Although we don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia, it being October seemed like a good reason to get these orange tops out again, and pair them with some other colourful pieces too!

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Top: New Look orange strappy cami top
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

This was a very busy day so I went with the "clothing as armour" approach Sheila favours and dressed nice and brightly! I have worn this navy floral duster with orange before, but not this orange cami. I really think it popped, especially with the cobalt blue Jumbo Love bag. With the blue bag I just had to go matchy-matchy with the blue necklace too. I added another shade of blue against the bag, kimono and necklace, with the turquoise and silver bracelet stack as well! I kept the rest of my outfit neutral with the grey skinny jeans and the white Converse.

I had an appointment after school drop off I needed to bring some paperwork along for, so the Jumbo Love bag was a great size! After working from home and then doing the school pick up, I had an appointment for my son in the afternoon too. A very busy day! The Converse were good for all that driving around.


Last worn: earrings, navy floral duster, orange cami, blue beaded necklace, silver bracelet stack, grey skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Jumbo Love bag.

Other ways to wear: navy floral duster and chambray dress, orange cami and printed jeans, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Jumbo Love bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love Bag Reveal

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Somedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

This was not quite the outfit I had planned to wear!

Similar to the outfit above, I was going to wear jeans with this, as it was predicted to be a very wet Spring day here in Brisbane. However it was so hot and humid that morning I decided to go with this black denim skirt instead of my black jeans. Definitely a good choice, it was so humid on the school run, although thankfully hadn't started raining. Even when the storm and rain hit in the afternoon I was glad I'd picked the skirt over jeans as it was still quite warm while picking up the kids, despite the rain.

This kimono has a little bit of orange in the floral print with a few orange leaves. It doesn't quite match the shade of the marigold orange tee, but I thought they complimented each other nicely enough. And just like the first outfit, there was a little matchy-matchy with the cobalt bag too, as there are blue leaves in the print of this kimono as well.

Knowing it was going to be a very wet day I picked my most supportive shoes. I did regret that decision on the way home from school when I accidentally stood in a puddle and it soaked right through the perforated fabric uppers on these sneakers! Thankfully it was on our way home so I could dry off afterwards!


Last worn: grey floral kimono, marigold tee, sunburst necklace, black denim skirt, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Jumbo Love bag (above).

Other ways to wear: grey floral kimono worn 30 times, marigold tee and shorts, black denim skirt and leopard print, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Jumbo Love bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey floral kimono in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Orange and blue always look so good together, in any combination of the shades! If you're not sure about it, try it in small amounts, like a blue bag with an orange top, as I have in these outfits.

Red Tees, Denim Shorts, Printed Kimonos and Aqua Mini MAC Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing some more colourful casual shorts and tees outfits for summer with red tees, printed kimonos and a little aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Wore both these outfits back in December.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Surprisingly I haven't worn this coral red tee with this tropical floral print duster before! They are such a good combination, even if the shades of red don't match. I added this fun statement beaded necklace for a touch of even more red, and the little aqua mini MAC bag was another bright pop of colour.

This was a great outfit for a busy school holiday day before Christmas! Took the kids out to watch a Christmas movie in the morning, they picked up a few last minute presents and we had time for some Christmas craft at the shopping centre too before heading home as we had sports in the afternoon.

We saw the "A Boy Called Christmas" movie and it was really good! Highly recommend watching it - maybe next year as Christmas is long over now - I've just been a bit behind with sharing outfits!

Last worn: tropical floral duster, coral tee, black denim shorts, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral duster and jeans, coral tee and maxi skirt, black denim shorts with a dress, Adidas Superstar and pink dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

Navy and Green Kimono Outfits With Grey Tees And Micro Bedford Bag

Another Wednesday post! I'm still not back to my regular 3 times a week posting I was pre-pandemic as I just don't get out of loungewear that many times a week yet! But I wanted to share two outfit posts this week, and on Friday I'll have my special annual gift guide post.

Two outfits with similar colour schemes and outfit formulas, but both look very different despite featuring navy kimonos, grey tees, green and the same little Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

Simple jeans and tee outfit for a busy day with the school run, working from home, and an appointment for my son in the afternoon. The grey tee and the green jeans are a combination I've worn a few times in the past, but I couldn't resist changing it up a little bit this time with the navy tie dye kimono on top. I thought it went nicely with the green jeans and it was a fun bit of match-matchy with the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag, and the navy Havaianas.

I really liked this outfit - nice and comfortable and practical for working from home and rushing around between school pickup and the afternoon appointment. I was glad I'd picked jeans to wear as the wind really picked up in the afternoon and it was actually a bit chilly on our way home from the appointment!

Last worn: tie dye kimono, marble station necklace, dark grey tee, green skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: tie dye kimono and shorts, dark grey tee worn 30 ways, green skinny jeans with mustard, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: dark grey tee in third trimester.

Review and First Impressions: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

I really liked the colours in this outfit! Just like the first outfit, it was a grey tee with green and a navy kimono, and that little Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. This time around though it was olive shorts instead of jeans, as the weather had warmed up a lot. The navy floral print kimono adds even more colour too, as does the green beaded necklace.

I thought that this grey tunic would go nicely with the pull on olive shorts - while they are both very relaxed fits I like the casualness of the outfit with the two loose pieces together, and I felt the long line of the kimono pulled it together a bit more to stop it looking too messy. Again I really liked this outfit! After the school drop off in the morning we went for a walk along our fave trail. Walking around the water was not the smartest idea after the storms that weekend though, especially when I forgot to put on mozzie repellent! I was bitten so much, ended up walking around a lot quicker than normal trying to stop my legs getting bitten 😂

Our grocery order was due to arrive the next day but I'd run out of some things for lunchboxes and it wouldn't arrive early enough in the morning, so had to go for a quick grocery shop after. Was nice to cool off my multiple bug bites in the air conditioning! And I took the opportunity to have a little browse of the shopping centre for some more Christmas gifts as well. I've purchased most of my Christmas gifts (I want to be really organised this year with all the online orders slowing down the postal service a little) but there's always a few extra things to buy!

Last worn: navy duster kimono, green beaded necklace, grey tunic tee, olive embroidered shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford (above).
 
Other ways to wear: navy duster kimono and skater dress, grey tunic tee and pencil skirt, olive embroidered shorts and printed tank, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford and floral dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and green is a colour combo that should definitely be seen! It's easy to pair any shade of green with navy, as you can see here with the forest green and the olive working well against the navy kimonos.
