What I Wore For Christmas: Coral Dresses and Gold Clutch | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing what I wore for Christmas, even though it was one  weekend. Wearing two beautiful coral Kmart dresses that my mum got me this year (one of which I got for Christmas) to celebrate Christmas Day at our house, and then another for a Boxing Day celebration with the in-laws.

What I wore:

Hat: Santa hat (gift from my sister)
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 

Why I wore it:

Christmas day started off far too early! The kids were up at 4.45am, ready to open all the presents, while I definitely could have slept a lot longer. There was no chance of getting up before them to get ready, so we hung out in our pyjamas and then after the present opening and a relaxed breakfast we all got dressed for the day. I'd planned to wear this pretty coral dress as I knew it would look so nice with this statement metallic necklace and the champagne gold envelope clutch.

We were aiming to get to church, but with my son being in hospital on Christmas eve we decided it was best to stay home. Definitely worth getting dressed up still though, I'd been planning this outfit for so long. I really liked it, even if I didn't get to wear it outside (other then the trip to the bin with the discarded wrapping paper!). It made me smile that my sister was wearing a red dress too, although I forgot to grab a photo of us together.

I definitely did a better job of cooking Christmas dinner than the first attempt I had a few years ago, but there is still room for improvement! Cooking is not my strong skill, but it was edible and people had seconds, which is a win. The leftovers kept us fed for a couple days after too!

Last worn: coral tiered midi dress, metallic bead statement necklace, rose gold sandals, champagne envelope clutch.

Other ways to wear: coral tiered midi dress and denim jacket, rose gold sandals and shorts, champagne envelope clutch and floral dress.

What Fits Inside: Rebecca Minkoff Leo Envelope Clutch

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold

Why I wore it:

Again this year we had a delayed Christmas celebration at the in-laws on Boxing Day. We had been shopping in Kmart a few months ago when I spotted this dress on the sales rack and mum grabbed it for me - when I unwrapped it I knew it would be perfect for our second Christmas! Even though Christmas at the in-laws is more relaxed, I felt this pretty coral print wrap dress fitted in nicely, and again I wore my little gold envelope clutch as it goes with everything.

It's sadly hard to see the earrings in the photo, but I'm wearing the gold resin earrings my mum got me for Christmas too.


Last worn: charm necklace, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch (above), studded sandals. First time I've worn the dress and the earrings as they were Christmas gifts.

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and mint dress, studded sandals worn 30 ways.

How You Can Wear It:

A little red dress will always work for a summer Christmas - but coral dresses work too, as you can see in these outfits! Adding some metallic accessories is a nice way to dress up for a more formal Christmas celebration.

Chloe Marcie and Dresses For Christmas Events

Today I'm sharing two pretty Kmart dresses I wore for two Christmas events recently, both outfits accessorised with my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold

Dress: Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and gold leaf bangle
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was really fun - our vet was doing a fundraiser and Santa paws photos, so we got all dressed up for our annual family photo. We did not bring the kid's insect menagerie along, Cooper is a handful enough! It was really fun and we got so many great photos.

We had to stop at the library on our way home and I felt a little overdressed for that, with the floral maxi dress and the big statement earrings. But it was perfect for our Christmas photos!

With the gold beads in the earrings and the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, I added this little gold leaf bangle to be even more matchy-matchy too.


Last worn: beaded statement earrings, floral maxi dress, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: floral maxi dress for Christmas day, studded sandals worn 30 ways, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

My Chloe Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a quiet morning at home, followed by a very fun afternoon at Carols by Candlelight. There were rides, food trucks, craft stations...the kids had a blast, and I enjoyed the carol service in the evening while the kids enjoyed swinging around the little electric candles they were given. There was even a fireworks show at the end.

It was a very humid day so I didn't need an extra layer, but thought this maxi dress was a good choice as it covered my legs to avoid the mozzies without me overheating. With the coral red of this dress, the green beaded necklace seemed like a fun nod to Christmas too! I had the big Chloe Marcie bag for all our water bottles and some snacks - although there was plenty of food there! I'd taken a blanket for laying on the grass in the evening, but didn't have to carry that around as I put it on the grass to save our spot while we walked around all the attractions.


Last worn: green beaded necklace, coral tiered midi dress, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: coral tiered midi dress and scarf, studded sandals and pencil skirt, Chloe Marcie bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in third trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Red and green is a classic Christmas combo. You can take a red dress you have and adda  green necklace to it like I have in the second outfit, or pick a dress like the teal floral one that has some red and green in the print.

Whatever you wear, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Tiered Dresses and Tote Bags

Two simple spring dress outfits, wearing a couple of my tiered dresses from Kmart. Kmart keep coming out with these dresses every season and I keep buying them! Paired with some practical tote bags for busy weekend days.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

This was such a warm day! Wanted to put in a little bit of effort for a playdate with a few friends so I dressed up this navy tiered dress with some matchy-matchy turquoise accessories. I thought the turquoise and silver beaded bracelet stack matched nicely with the turquoise tassel earrings, even if the metal on the earrings is gold. Added my studded sandals as it was much too hot for closed in shoes, and my big Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote is perfect for all the water bottles and snacks needed for a playdate!


Last worn: turquoise tassel earrings, navy tiered dress, silver and turquoise bracelet stack, studded sandals, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: navy tiered dress with purple, studded gladiator sandals worn 30 ways, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

Wardrobe Tour & Handbag Storage

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was another hot day so again I relied on a tiered dress! This midi dress is longer and provided great sun coverage for my legs. We had a busy day with a playdate at the park in the morning, and then an event with the kids in the evening. Went really matchy-matchy with the black accessories against this dress - with the black tote bag, black and gold beaded bracelet and black statement necklace. I don't think it looked Halloweenish, but I do worry about that sometimes when I pair this amber dress with black!

Was a nice outfit for a hot day, although it was really humid in the evening and I wished I'd picked a shorter dress.


Last worn: amber tiered dress, black beaded statement necklace, black and gold bracelet stack, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: amber tiered dress and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and pink dress, Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote bag and denim skirt.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Tiered dresses in any length or colour are great to wear on hot spring days. They are an instant easy outfit. A few matchy-matchy accessories can make it look like you put more effort into your outfit than you did!

Dressed Up: Maxi Dresses and Rebecca Minkoff Love Bags

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! While I've worn both of these dresses for Christmas before (here and here) I'm wearing a different dress for Christmas this year. I wore both these maxi dresses for a couple of events earlier in the month.

What I wore:

Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace with Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Sophia high-low maxi dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral

Why I wore it:

I wore this for a family photo shoot. We did our annual family photos that we put in our Christmas cards back in November, but the in-laws had booked in some time with a photographer to get photos of their extended family. Couldn't decide what dress to wear as we hadn't been told to try coordinate or wear any particular colour, just to not dress too casually. Decided this colourful dress would work with whatever everyone else was wearing, with all the colours in the print. Thankfully we were well prepared with bug spray too as the photos were in the afternoon and there were a lot of bugs around.

As well as carrying my usual essentials with my phone and wallet, I decided to bring along a couple books for the boys and all our water bottles. Put all of that in the big backpack so it was easy to carry, and decided to wear this little peach Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag just for my essentials. Didn't really need it, just thought it would be helpful to have everything I needed close by and not have to rummage through the backpack when my phone went off. There isn't any orange in the print of this dress but I liked the contrast the orange small Love bag gave with it.

Kept it simple with the rest of the accessories that were actually in the photos, with these staple sentimental Tiffany necklaces and some earrings hubby bought me.

Last worn: spiral earrings, Tiffany diamond necklace, Tiffany heart necklace, mandala print maxi dress, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag.

Other ways to wear: mandala print maxi dress under a knit, studded gladiator sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag and jeans.

Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag Comparison

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
Dress: Jeanswest 'Sierra' embellished black maxi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a fun family event my son was performing in. It was fun to get dressed up! After this big event in the morning we had lunch at home and then got changed for our trip to Movie World theme park that afternoon. I liked this outfit, just wanted something more festive for the Christmas experience at the theme park!

It's been a while since I last wore this maxi dress so it's either stretched out on the hanger or I've forgotten how long it was - with my flat sandals I felt I kept tripping over the long hem on this! Really need to get it altered to be a better length on me. With the beautiful beading on the neckline I couldn't decide what necklace to wear - decided not to wear one in the end and wear these big statement beaded earrings instead. The gold beads on the earrings coordinated nicely with the gold beads on the dress and when I tried it on I was pleased it didn't look as overly accessorised as I thought, it was a nice combination.

The big bold cobalt Love bag was a practical choice to fit all my essentials and my camera in it for taking photos and video of my son up on stage. Hubby had the backpack with everyone's water bottles in it too. It was a really fun morning, although I did feel overdressed when we stopped to do an errand on the way home, ha!

Last worn: beaded earrings, embellished black maxi dress, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Love bag.

Other ways to wear: embellished black maxi dress and kimono, studded sandals and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Love bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: embellished black maxi dress at 39 weeks, studded sandals in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

When you're not sure what to wear a pretty maxi dress is perfect - easy to dress up or dress down. And of course I can never resist adding more colour to an outfit with a bright bag!

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas on Saturday and get to enjoy time with family and friends! I'll have a post up on Monday for the regular Weekday Wear Link up as usual, and a few more scheduled posts over the Christmas season.

Kmart Tiered Midi Dresses - Dressed Up and Down | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm wearing these pretty Kmart tiered midi dresses again! They are so easy to dress up or dress down, as you can see by the different ways I've worn them here.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! We had a party at my parent's place, lots of laugher and good food, and I decided to dress up a little for the occasion. This fuchsia pink Kmart tiered midi dress is a statement on it's own, but I added the fun gold clutch and the statement earrings to make it a bit more formal.

These beaded earrings were a Christmas gift and I just couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy for their first wear with this beaded tassel necklace. Although the beaded tassel part is turquoise and gold I thought the cream stone and the other beads matched the cream and gold beaded earrings well. Added a couple of extra bracelets to my bracelet stack and because I didn't need to carry much I took the opportunity to give my Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch another wear!

Despite the rather windy and overcast day it didn't rain at all so we got to enjoy sitting outside in the afternoon before dinner. We drove away in the evening after making plans for some fun school holiday activities, all feeling good. The very next morning they announced a 3 day lockdown for Brisbane after there was a case of the virus outside of hotel quarantine. It was a bit of a shock after over 100 days without cases outside of quarantine, but it made me feel even more grateful we were able to have the catch up we did. I know that some countries have tougher restrictions again making big family meetups like we had impossible. Luckily there were no more cases and the lockdown was lifted at the end of the 3 days so our fun adventures we planned were still able to happen too.

Last worn: pink tiered Kmart midi dress, turquoise tassel necklace, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: pink tiered Kmart midi dress with turquoise bag, studded gladiator sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and mint dress.

My Favourite Rebecca Minkoff Bag:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue
 

Why I wore it:

A much more casual way to wear this Kmart tiered midi dress! A very busy day, with lots of errands to run and sports in the evening, school shoe shopping and a fun trip to the library for the kids to pick up some new books. Kept it simple with the Adidas Superstar sneakers and carried all our water bottles in my trusty Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack. I like the bright blue against the amber of the dress and this bag fits everything we need so easily.

I had actually planned to wear this dress a little more dressed up just like the outfit above, with some statement earrings and cute sandals and a different bag for another party! We were due to go to a kids birthday party the weekend lockdown was announced, and after the 3 day lockdown was lifted visitor restrictions were back in place so the party couldn't go ahead the next week with the 20 person limit, as the whole kindy class was invited. Since I had been looking forward to wearing this dress again, I figured I'd wear it anyway, even just to run errands in, because the party was cancelled. I'm glad I gave it a wear, it does dress down so nicely.


Last worn: amber tiered midi dress, gold and navy beaded necklace, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack.

Other ways to wear: amber tiered midi dress worn 2 ways, Adidas Superstar and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack and jeans.

How You Can Wear It:

A simple tiered midi dress in a bold colour is a great wardrobe staple! You can dress it up with a clutch and some pretty accessories, or dress it down for an easy outfit on a busy day with the kids with a backpack and sneakers.

Weekday Wear Link Up Kmart Floral Maxi Dresses and Balenciaga Bags

As usual, mixing affordable clothes with more high end bags! Pairing these two pretty Kmart tiered maxi dresses with Balenciaga bags for a little bit of shopping.

What I wore:

Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace

Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Dress: Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl, howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet 

Why I wore it:

This was a fun outfit, I don't know why I haven't tried this plain white tee over this coral printed maxi dress before! The tee is a little long on me so I just knotted it a bit to make it sit nicer over the dress. Added in the simple neutral gladiator sandals and a tactile blue statement necklace, this was an easy outfit to pull together. After trying a pink bag with this coral dress once before I have been trying a few more with it - and this is the first time I've worn the pink Balenciaga city bag with it. I think the pink worked with the coral of the dress.

Wore this for a little bit of shopping - although it was mid December we hadn't done the Kmart wishing tree yet for that year, and it's our annual tradition. We went there after swimming lessons to let the boys pick out a toy each to put under the wishing tree for those doing it tough at Christmas time. Had my parents over later in the afternoon and a yummy takeaway dinner that evening as we watched another festive movie. Such a good day.

Last worn: white tee, beaded necklace, Kmart floral print maxi dress, studded Gladiator sandals, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag.

Other ways to wear: white tee and jeans, Kmart floral print maxi dress layered for winter, studded Gladiator sandals worn 30 ways, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag worn 30 ways.

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

30 Ways To Wear: Balenciaga Pink Sorbet City Bag

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace
Dress: Kmart tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH

Why I wore it:

Another annual shopping trip! Each year we have a girls' day out, visiting the outlets on the Gold Coast to enjoy some time together before Christmas and cross a few more presents off our list. This year it was a little harder to organise everyone's schedules and we didn't get a day together until the 22nd December, long after our Christmas present shopping was finished. We wanted to keep up the tradition though, so we headed down the coast to have a bit of a browse, lunch, and just spend time together.

I'd wanted to layer up this teal floral maxi dress with a red tee over the top to make it seem Christmas-y but struggled to find a red tee that worked with the neckline and by the time I found one that looked okay I was a bit hot and bothered and decided to leave it. I'm glad I didn't wear a tee on top, it was a really hot and humid day (the outlets are outdoors) and I would have melted with an extra layer! This dress looks good on its own too. Carried the Balenciaga bag for a little extra room, and added the silver leaf earrings and silver cuff to match the hardware on the bag.

Managed to pick up a cute little Christmas tree on sale, as well as a tee for myself for just $5. Even picked up some birthday presents for next year as I'd done all my Christmas shopping but there were some great deals on and I wasn't going to waste a shopping trip!

Last worn: silver leaf earrings, diamond necklace, silver cuff, teal floral maxi dress, studded sandals, Balenciaga black part time bag.

Other ways to wear: teal floral maxi dress for Christmas day, studded sandals and shorts, Balenciaga black part time bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester, Balenciaga black part time bag in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Given a choice I'll always splurge a bit more on accessories as they can easily change up the look of an outfit. A failsafe instant summer outfit is a printed dress with a block colour bag, easy!

Foil Print Tees and Denim Shorts With Bright Rebecca Minkoff Bags: Weekday Wear Link Up!

More casual outfits for this week's Weekday Wear Link up. Back in the summer of 2017/2018 I bought a few foil print tees. I tend not to wear them for everyday as they feel a bit more special than a regular tree, but I realised they hadn't been worn in a while. Going out with family felt like the perfect time to wear them. They pair so nicely with denim!

What I wore:

Jacket: New Look Petite print kimono
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Anika foil stripe tee in white and silver
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Wore this blue and white outfit to go see Frozen 2 with the kids. They were so excited to see it, but we wanted to wait until we could all go together. Thankfully everyone's days off lined up eventually. It was so strange sitting there in the movie theatre watching the second Frozen movie with my mum, sister and my two kids, as when I saw the first one with my mum and sister I was pregnant with my eldest boy! He loved the songs and danced along in my belly so it's no surprise he still loves the movie now, ha!

I've worn this navy printed kimono with stripes before, it's a great way to print mix especially with the silver foil stripes on this tee. I kept the silver theme with the necklace, bracelet and the silver hardware on the pink mini MAC. Pink is another thing that's frequently worn with this kimono!

The studded gladiator sandals and the distressed denim shorts were simple pieces to wear with the colourful blue and pink outfit.


Last worn: navy printed kimono, circle necklace, silver foil stripe tee, distressed denim shorts, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: navy printed kimono worn 3 ways, silver foil stripe tee in monochrome outfit, distressed denim shorts and Converse, studded gladiator sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy printed kimono in third trimester.

My Favourite Rebecca Minkoff Bag:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted red flat bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Kaylin star foil grey tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Sara distressed hot short
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Although you can't see it so well in the main photo this cream tee is covered in lots of little foil stars, the perfect sparkly outfit for a night out at Movie World's White Christmas event! Especially when paired with the silver glitter Kmart shoes, and the silver cuff. My sister thought the same - she and I matched with our star print tees and black shorts! It's no mystery why I dress the boys the same when my sister and I are still doing it as adults! 😂

As it was a Christmas event at the theme park I added some red accessories for a festive touch of colour. I wore this little red Rebecca Minkoff mini Avery tote bag last time we went too, it's a great size for my wallet and camera and it zips up securely to keep everything safe. The necklace was a nice bit of matchy matchy.

Once again we had a great time at the event, it was awesome!

Had so much fun at #mwWhiteChristmas earlier this week with the family 🎄 pic.twitter.com/CpGHDJ7mFB

Last worn: star print tee, red beaded necklace, black denim shorts, silver sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag.

Other ways to wear: star print tee worn two ways, black denim shorts and scarf, silver sneakers and grey dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag and matching jeans.

Foil Print Tees Under $50:

---

How You Can Wear It:

A foil print tee is a fun twist on a classic tee. Just like a plain tee, it works well with denim! You can continue the sparkle with other accessories like I have with the shoes and cuff in the second outfit, or just let the tee be all the sparkle and add some bright colourful accessories like red blue or pink.
