Navy Stripe Maxi Skirts and Purple Mini MAB Tote Bag

If you follow on instagram you'll know baby boy's in hospital. I still have pre-scheduled blog posts like this that will continue to be published, and he's just in as a precaution. We hope to be home for Christmas!



I love maxi skirts year round and while I wear them in winter, they definitely get worn the most over the warmer months. I've got quite a collection of maxi skirts now, the majority of them are striped! I like the easy go-to outfit of a tee and a maxi skirt. Perfect for breastfeeding too.

What I wore:

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop

Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

Navy and purple are so nice together. It's a combination I've worn a lot. When I got this skirt I knew right away I would wear it with this purple tee. Added the purple bag for a little more colour. Even though the purple shades don't match I really like the way it looks with the outfit. I was so happy with this, colourful and comfortable and perfect for our "viewing session" to review all of the photographs taken at the photoshoot I won a while back. There were so many great photos it was hard to narrow it down to what we wanted to buy!


Last worn: purple tee, navy stripe maxi skirt, gold Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: purple tee and pencil skirt, navy stripe maxi skirt worn two ways, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and winter layers.

What I wore:

Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Ava elephant pendant teething necklace

Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy (on sale!)
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in blue and on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

This was another style challenge outfit. The theme was 'matchy matchy' so I went with the navy tee to match the navy stripes in my maxi skirt. Again I wore the purple mini MAB tote bag as purple is so nice with navy! I wore this tee with purple last time I wore it too.

Just wanted something simple and easy for baby boy's weekly weigh appointment, this was perfect.


Last worn: navy tee, white maxi skirt, Havaianas, purple mini MAB tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tee and a leather jacket, white maxi skirt with a green tank, purple mini MAB tote bag and flares.

White Tees, Blue Maxi Skirts and Blush Pink Darren Bag

A maxi skirt and tee is an easy outfit formula to repeat over and over, and I've certainly been doing so lately! I recently wore these two blue maxi skirts with sneakers and some white tees, and added a little extra colour with my blush pink Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart abstract blob print tee
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this for another park day with the kids. It was a bit of a strange day, cloudy and threatening to rain, so I figured we'd best get to the playground as early as possible hoping to get some energy out before the rain set in.

This abstract print tee is a fun thrift find that was definitely overdue a wear, and this chambray maxi skirt I scored on sale a few years ago was overdue a wear too! I hit 30 wears with it a while back and it's a keeper in my wardrobe! I liked the pastel blues in the print of the tee with the chambray of the skirt, and the blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag matched the blush in the print of the tee nicely too. The turquoise beaded necklace is a different shade from the pastel blue in the tee but I still thought it was a nice combination.

This was comfortable and suitably covered up for our time at the playground - last time I was there I struggled finding suitably shady spots to sit and watch the kids play at times so I liked the physical sunblock on my legs with the long maxi skirt.

Last worn: abstract print tee, turquoise and gold necklace, chambray maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren messenger bag.

Other ways to wear:  abstract print tee and shorts, chambray maxi skirt worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren and double denim.

3 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger

---

What I wore:

Tee: Jimmy Rees Pfiiiiizer darling vaxed tee (Christmas gift)
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

This is my second Jimmy Rees Pfiiizer tee! I may have tagged a few people in his videos over 2020 and 2021, so I was spoiled with a few things from his merch line for Christmas! Much like the last time I wore my grey Pfiiizer tee, I knew exactly when I would wear this one! It was a quiet working from home day, with a little break in the afternoon to head out and get my booster jab. I figured the tee would make the doctor or nurse smile!

The white tee matches the white stripes on this navy maxi skirt perfectly, and the red print adds a little extra colour, but I still felt this needed more so I added the blush Darren bag for a subtle touch of colour, and the bright blue Converse too. This tee and maxi skirt combination was so comfortable for working from home, and I just added the accessories when I went out for my appointment.


Last worn: navy stripe maxi skirt, blue Converse, blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag (above). First time I've worn the tee as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe maxi skirt in monochrome outfit, blue Converse and pink dress, blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag and midi dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and white always work well together, and most people have a classic white tee in their wardrobe. You can easily pair a printed white tee with a plain maxi skirt as I have in the first outfit, or introduce a little extra print with a striped skirt like in the second outfit. Like white tees, stripes go with everything!

Long Sleeve Tops and Printed Maxi Skirts With Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag

With winter here now in Queensland, it's time to start pulling out some of my cold weather pieces. Two very different colour schemes to share today, although these outfits follow the same formula of a long sleeved top and a printed maxi skirt, with a new-to-me Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag that the boys got me for Mother's Day.

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Top: Dorothy Perkins 3/4 sleeve wrap top
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: New Balance white and blue sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Couldn't resist going completely monochrome with this outfit! 😂 Blue marle long sleeved wrap top, navy blue striped maxi skirt and the blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. Even a blue and gold necklace!

It's no surprise I loved this outfit, blue is my favourite colour. However I wasn't entirely happy with it when I left the house! Doing the school run it didn't warm up as much as I'd hoped and it was a pretty chilly outfit to wear when the wind picked up. Especially with the side splits in this maxi skirt. I normally keep it for warmer weather wear but thought I could squeeze in one more wear before winter truly arrived in Brisbane. Should have picked another skirt instead and left this for a warmer day. Or added a jacket.


Last worn: navy marle wrap top, clay bead necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, New Balance. First time I've worn the mini MAC bag on the blog as it was a mother's day gift. 

Other ways to wear: navy marle wrap top and pencil skirt, navy stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag Review:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Aubrey' pintuck yoke henley in deep teal
Skirt: thrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: New Balance white and blue sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

While my wardrobe has been firmly in the casual mum category with staying at home so much, I am feeling a bit bolder to try little things to change it up. The confidence is coming from social distancing and not spending enough time near or with anyone for them to form an opinion on my outfit!

This was an "I wonder if these pieces would go" combination I thought of when trying to come up with something different to wear.

I wouldn't normally wear red with this teal henley but as all I had to do this day was the school run I decided to give it a try. And I liked the combination of the teal and red together when I put ti on, I was worried it was too Christmas-y before I did, but I liked it when I wore it. Not sure if it was adding the blue mini MAC bag to the outfit or just my camera but the top and skirt together look very Christmas-y in the pic and the top a lot more green than teal! I still had fun trying something different though even if I wouldn't wear these two pieces together again. At least I was warmer in this outfit as it wasn't as cold!


Last worn: teal henley, feather necklace, red boho maxi skirt, New Balance (above), Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag (above).

Other ways to wear:  teal henley and jeans, red boho maxi skirt and band tee.

Perfect for pregnancy: teal henley in second trimester.

Printed Maxi Skirts Under $50:

---

How You Can Wear It:

A long sleeve top can work well with a maxi skirt on a cooler day (although maybe not too cold like in the first pic!). With a printed maxi skirt a plain block colour top is good to try and you don't have to worry about prints clashing, so you can experiment with different colour combinations.

This post was scheduled in advance and I debated not posting it this week but decided to in the end. I've continued blogging through everything else this year. I think time to reflect on what is happening is needed, even if I don't really have the right words to say, or a platform that would make much of a difference. It's important to still say something, as the silence can be deafening to those who need support right now. So in my usual style I'm just adding a note to this post. I've also found people that have said it better than I ever could:

From a protest sign: "I understand that I'll never understand, but I stand with you."

From Archbishop Desmond Tutu: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor".

Black Lives Matter and Aboriginal Lives Matter. Listen and learn and fight racism. Above all else, be kind.

Blue Printed Maxi Skirts, Pink Bags and V-Neck Tees

More simple outfits with a mum staple, a classic v neck tee! Wearing colourful tees and blue printed maxi skirts, with my Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag and Converse.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace

Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

I had planned to wear this maxi skirt for Monday but I was a little unsure with the rain forecast! Luckily while it did rain this maxi skirt isn't a floor brushing length so it stayed dry. A striped maxi skirt is a staple and in a neutral navy it goes with so much in my wardrobe, I'm going to hit 30 wears on it next year for sure. As I really like blue and pink together I wanted to wear this pink v-neck tee with the navy skirt. Surprisingly it's the first time I've worn the two pieces together despite my love for pink and blue.

While the bright pink of the tee looks great against the navy, so does this little blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag. The blush pink works well with both the bright pink and the navy, it's a really versatile shade of pink.

Wore my comfortable Converse for a little bit of running around with the school run, sports for the little one, and then sports for both kids in the evening after school pick up.


Last worn: pink tee, silver circle necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and shorts, navy stripe maxi skirt in monochrome outfit, white Converse and printed jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Review and What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Darren

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

Again with another blue printed maxi skirt and the same blush pink Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag. Like the navy skirt in the first outfit, the blush pink works so well with the lighter blue tie dye print on this maxi skirt. I added another colour to this outfit too with the lilac v-neck tee. Pink, purple and blue are such a lovely trio together!

I wasn't too sure at first about the gold statement circle necklace with the silver hardware on the Darren bag, but I really wanted to wear my new-to-me necklace I picked up at the opshop as soon as possible! It was a nice accessory with the lilac tee and I think the mixed metals worked. Again I went with Converse, blue ones this time to match the light tie dye on the skirt.

Another nice colourful and comfortable outfit, it was a very humid day so I was glad we were able to enjoy the aircon in church that morning!


Last worn: lilac tee, tie dye maxi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff peony small Darren bag (above). First time I've worn the gold necklace as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: lilac tee and culottes, tie dye maxi skirt in monochrome outfit, blue Converse and tee dress, Rebecca Minkoff peony small Darren bag and pink dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: lilac tee in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Pink and blue are lovely together in any shades, as you can see in these two outfits with the different shades of blue. For something a little different you can add in a third colour as well! Lilac works equally well with pink and blue.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Pink Tees and Blue Printed Maxi Skirts with Louis Vuitton Neverfull

Sharing two similar casual outfits for today's Weekday Wear Linkup, that follow the same basic outfit formula but look very different. I like pink and blue together, so on some stay at home mum days I paired two different pink tees with printed blue maxi skirts and my Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

I share a lot of workwear looks for the linkup, but I only work part time so aside from the two days I'm in the office during the week I'm pretty casually dressed!

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Dress: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Decided to get pics of this lovely outfit while we were out by the bayside - unfortunately the tide was out so it's not as pretty as I thought it would turn out, haha! I had one on one time with my son and while we did have to get groceries on the way back home, we spent the morning playing by the sea and having a special morning tea just the two of us. By the time the tide had rolled in, my outfit was covered in cake, apple juice and sand so I wasn't going to try repeat the photos! 😂

This raspberry pink tee works so well with the navy stripe maxi skirt - I feel I haven't given this skirt much attention lately, it's a great basic piece and pairs so well with many colours. This raspberry tee was a Christmas gift from my mum and works well with all of the blue I have in my wardrobe! Matched the navy stripes with the navy and gold necklace and the navy and pink Havaianas. I love a bit of matchy-matchy.

The Louis Vuitton neverfull was perfect as I didn't take the baby bag. I carried the wipes, hand sanitiser and both our water bottles in it to save having to bring the baby bag along too.


Last worn: raspberry tee, navy and gold necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton damier azur MM Neverfull tote.

Other ways to wear:  raspberry tee and Bermuda shorts, navy stripe maxi skirt in winter, Louis Vuitton damier azur MM Neverfull tote worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton damier azur MM Neverfull tote in third trimester.

Wear and Tear: Louis Vuitton Neverfull Condition After 7 Years

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette crescent purple and gold necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve tee in fuchsia
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Same outfit formula as the one above - pink tee, printed blue maxi skirt, but a lot brighter with the hot pink frill sleeve tee and the bright blue floral maxi skirt. I really liked this outfit - it was a bit of a bold pairing but it made me smile all day! I added the purple crescent necklace for a little extra colour but I'll be honest the pink tee is so bold you barely notice it!

Carried my Louis Vuitton Neverfull as I had a busy day ahead, including taking advantage of some rare kid-free time in the afternoon to finally go to the optician and discover that I did need new glasses (I use glasses for working at the computer). Turned into a very expensive day!


Last worn: fuchsia frill sleeve tee, crescent necklace, floral maxi skirt, Havaianas (above), Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull tote (above). 

Other ways to wear: fuchsia frill sleeve tee and pencil skirt, floral maxi skirt with turquoise, Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull tote and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull tote at 38 weeks.

How You Can Wear It:

A blue printed maxi skirt looks great worn with a simple basic tee. You don't have to stick to neutrals though! You can pick a soft pink, or even a bold bright pink, for something a little different that's still just as comfortable. Pink and blue are a great combination in any shades!

Monochromatic Blue Outfits With Printed Maxi Skirts and Purple Balenciaga Work Bag

Adding a little extra colour to monochromatic blue maxi skirt and tee outfits with my big purple Balenciaga work bag. Not doing anything different from usual or carrying anything more than usual that requires such a big bag, I've just been missing wearing this so got it out for a couple days!

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt (from my sister's wardrobe)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

So pleased with this skirt! My sister had a wardrobe clear out. As we used to do when we lived together at our parents, we give each other first pic of anything we will be donating. She had so many new with tags pieces she no longer wanted, and a lot of adorable playsuits but I just can't get over the bathroom issue with playsuit and jumpsuits 😅 This maxi skirt however was definitely perfect for me!

I have a tie dye maxi dress in grey I've worn as a skirt a few times so I have lots of inspiration for how to wear this. And in fact this navy cropped tee over my grey tie dye maxi dress was one of my fave outfits with my dress, so this was such an obvious pairing. Added the turquoise tassel earrings for a little bit of matchy-matchy with the blue tie dye print. The white Converse were a comfortable choice for the school run, playground and library. And the purple Balenciaga work bag added more colour and gave plenty of space for a snack for the little one and our water bottles!


Last worn: navy cropped tee, turquoise tassel earrings, silver circle necklace, Converse, Balenciaga purple work bag. First time I've worn the tie dye maxi skirt as it's from my sister's wardrobe. 

Other ways to wear: navy cropped tee and red skirt, Converse and striped dress, Balenciaga purple work bag in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

30 Outfit Ideas For a Purple Balenciaga Work Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Tee: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

I'd planned to wear my old Kisschasy band tee with this striped maxi skirt for a quiet Friday. School run, library, and a couple errands. Being a cooler autumn morning than I expected that morning though I had to quickly add another layer - this denim jacket is a wardrobe oldie and it continues the monochrome blue look with the navy striped maxi skirt and navy tassel earrings. Again the purple Balenciaga work bag added more colour even though I didn't need all that space in my bag.

We had a couple errands to run and some books that had to be returned to the library that day, before getting home to wait for a delivery as hubby was only working from home in the morning and going into the office for the rest of the day. Busy, but achievable. However I'd not known that some of the places we had to visit had changed their opening hours. I noticed when I got there and there were different times written on the door than I'd seen online the night before. Turned a busy morning into a mad scramble to get everything done and back home on time, but we achieved it. Just! 😂 And at least it warmed up a little!

After school pickup in the afternoon I was exhausted. I'd planned to change into something a little dressier for drinks with the neighbours that night but decided just to keep wearing this. Worked out well as the heat that had developed over the day stuck around and the jeans outfit I'd planned would have been too warm. Ended up feeling really comfortable in this.


Last worn: denim jacket, tassel earrings, Kisschasy band tee, striped maxi skirt, Converse (above), Balenciaga purple work bag (above). 

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Kisschasy band tee with red, striped maxi skirt and scarf, Converse and shorts, Balenciaga purple work bag worn 30 ways. 

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, Converse in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It 

A monochrome blue outfit is easy to do when you have as many different shades of blue in your wardrobe as I do! But this outfit formula of printed skirt and tee in the same colour family will work no matter what your favourite colour is.

Embellished Tanks and Maxi Skirts With Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag

The thing I like about maxi skirts is that they never feel over or under dressed. When wearing both of these maxi skirts below I added some embellished tanks to make them feel just a little more dressed up, and a little more festive for the parties we were going to (back in December!).

What I wore:

Dress: Jeanswest 'Darcy' embellished top in winter coral
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Fashion Scarf Girl Navy and Gold hair scarf (c/o) tied in bow
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

I wore this to the boys daycare party. I'd just worn shorts and a tee earlier in the day, but swapped to this as the maxi skirt gave me more coverage, and I wanted the bigger bag. I'm glad I picked this bag, they got so many things I had to hold and it was nice being hands free! The style challenge for the day was 'sequins and sparkle' so this sequin embellished tank was perfect, and probably overdue a wear! It's been a while since I last wore it.

The boys had a wonderful night at the party, and I was grateful for having picked the maxi skirt to wear with all the running around after them I did and bending down to toddler level!


Last worn: sequin embellished tank, navy scarf, navy stripe maxi skirt, black Havaianas, Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag.

Other ways to wear: sequin embellished tank and skinny jeans, navy scarf on a handbag, navy stripe maxi skirt worn two ways, Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: sequin embellished tank in third trimester, Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag in second trimester.

---

What's In My Bag: Balenciaga Tempete Day

---

What I wore:

Dress: Jeanswest 'Macy' ombre tank in 'very berry'
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I repeated a similar thing a few days later. I picked this ombre beaded tank which is such a special piece but again, like the sequin tank above, so sparingly worn due to how delicate it is. Life with two boys under 5 requires a bit of consideration when wearing delicate pieces!

I really liked the pink and blue together of the ombre tank and chambray skirt, and the studded sandals were a simple option. We had a busy day, with the final Christmas food shop in the morning and then a party with our church friends down the coast. This was the perfect outfit to feel cool and pulled together for all those events. I was relieved to see that Woolies wasn't as busy as I anticipated and I grabbed the groceries quite quickly, but it was definitely getting busier as we left.


Last worn: ombre embellished tank, noisy may chambray maxi skirt, studded gladiator sandals, Balenciaga tempete day bag (above).

Other ways to wear: ombre embellished tank and skinny jeans, noisy may chambray maxi skirt and printed tank, studded gladiator sandals, Balenciaga tempete day bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: ombre embellished tank and hidden second trimester bump, Balenciaga tempete day bag in third trimester.

---

Embellished Tanks Under $50:

---

How You Can Wear It:

Anything with a little extra embellishment will feel a bit more pulled together when you add it to an outfit. A simple maxi skirt looks more dressed up when you add an embellished tank, but it creates a simple outfit option, ideal for running around after kids at parties!
