Printed Dresses And Neon Pink Mini MAC Bag

Two simple printed dresses for hot summer days in Brisbane recently, with my little neon pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for a pop of colour.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Despite the mostly wet summer holidays, we did manage to get outdoors a few times, and this was one of those times. We ended up cutting the beach playdate short when the rain set in earlier than expected, but until we decided to call it a day the kids had been having a blast in the water.

The Kmart slides were a good choice for a beach day, and this pastel floral print dress is such a good cover up for my swimmers. I didn't end up getting in the water past my knees, but the kids had fun jumping around with their friends.

Because I had a big reusable tote with all our beach toys and a change of clothes and towels, I just wore my little Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC bag so I could have the essentials with me wherever I went.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, floral babydoll dress, tan slides, neon pink mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: floral babydoll dress and blazer, tan slides and blue dress, neon pink mini MAC and shorts.

What I wore:

Dress: All About Eve striped black tee dress 
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Another simple printed dress with a pop of colour from my neon pink Rebecca Minkoff mini mac bag again. I love pink bags with this black and white striped tee dress! With the bright bag and the stripes on the dress, I felt I didn't really need a necklace with this, and it was better in the heat not to add anything heavy. Did add this cute Mimco twisted gunmetal bracelet stack, to make it look like I put a little thought into my outfit though. 

It was really too hot for closed in shoes, but I had a couple of errands to run and I'd managed to aggravate my knee injury again a couple of days earlier, so comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers were good for driving around and supporting my knee.


Last worn: black and white striped shift dress, bracelet stack, Adidas Superstar sneakers, neon pink mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: black and white striped shift dress and scarf, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, neon pink mini MAC and jeans.

Spring Skirts And Denim jackets With Neon Pink Bag

Two denim jackets and skirts outfits for spring, with neutral tees and some very bright accessories. My neon pink mini MAC really adds a pop to an outfit!

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace
Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Enjoying the warm weekend weather and running a couple of errands with the kids. We had a packed day with errands to run and a kid's birthday party in the afternoon. As it was a warmer day, I got this cute little skirt out that I picked up in the end of summer sales - was great to give it a wear again!

I kept it simple with the black tee and denim jacket, but then added a lot of fun colour with the chartreuse necklace and the neon pink mini MAC bag, as I didn't have to carry more than the essentials.


Last worn: denim jacket, black tee, statement necklace, wrap bracelet, animal print skirt, Converse, neon pink mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, black tee and shorts, animal print skirt and pink tee, Converse and dress, neon pink mini MAC worn 30 ways.

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

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings (new purchase, charity fundraiser)
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

I thrifted this skirt last summer and feel I didn't get to give it a lot of wear before the weather cooled off. This is only it's forth wear and I'm not sure why, I love the button detail and the paperbag waist. I kept it simple (like all the other times I've worn this skirt) with a neutral tee - this grey tunic is a good basic. I added the white denim jacket as it was a little chilly on the school run that morning, although I didn't need it in the afternoon when we headed to the park after school. With the neutral white Adidas Superstar sneakers and the neutral necklace, the Rebecca Minkoff neon mini MAC bag was again a fun pop of pink. I wasn't sure about the rust and neon pink together but I'm glad I gave it a go as I really liked it.

As all I had to do was the school run, working from home, and then a couple errands and a park playdate in the afternoon, the little mini MAC was all I needed to carry.


Last worn: white denim jacket, grey tunic tee, statement necklace, linen skirt, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC (above). First time I've shared the earrings on the blog as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and dress, grey tunic tee and shorts, linen skirt and white tee, Adidas Superstar and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC and monochrome outfit.

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag | Magnificent Magenta

This quarter's Magnificent 8 collaboration post theme is magnificent magenta! And with it being so close to the end of the month when I usually do my 30 ways to wear posts, what better time to share 30 ways you can wear this marvellous magenta Balenciaga day bag?

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag

I'm surprised I haven't done a 30 ways to wear post with this bag yet, it's one of my favourites! It's definitely my favourite Balenciaga pink too. I have owned a few bags in this colour, which came out in 2005 over the years, but this style made it a keeper in my wardrobe. It's no secret I like bright and colourful bags, and this isn't even my only magenta bag.... But a magenta bag goes with so many more outfits than you'd think!

Cost Per Wear

I got lucky and picked this Balenciaga day bag up preloved at the end of 2015, for just $607. Despite being a 10 year old bag at the time, it had such a vibrant vivid magenta colour, and hardly any signs of wear. 7 years of me owning it later, and it still looks just as good as it does when I got it - Balenciaga bags slouch so beautifully as they age! Being a bit of a splurge, although I've worn it a lot (50 times so far), it works out to $12.14 per wear at the moment. Much higher than the $1 per wear most people aim for for value for money, but pretty good for a spendy buy, and one that will be in my wardrobe permanently, getting the cost per wear down even lower!

It took me quite a while to go through all the 50 times I've worn this magenta bag and come up with just 30 of my favourite outfits! I picked a few outfit and colour formulas to share with you, to give you an idea of how versatile a magenta bag could be in your wardrobe. Here are some of my favourite ways to wear it.

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Hobo Bag | Video Style

Magenta Bag In Office Outfits

I love wearing my bright and colourful bags into the office! It's nice to have a bit of colour on your desk through the day while spending hours sitting at a computer. And of course, these 4 outfits show the easiest way to wear any bright colour - pair it with black! With all the black and the other neutrals in these outfits, it makes the magenta bag really pop.

Magenta Bag with Blue Outfits

It's no secret I love blue and pink together. Having so much blue in my wardrobe, I've worn this magenta bag with every shade I own, and it always looks good! From the pastel baby blue skull scarf, denim dresses and skirt, even a cobalt scarf, magenta just works with any shade of blue.

Magenta Bag With Purple

Magenta being the perfect blend of pink and purple together means it looks so good worn with other purple pieces. You don't have to go big and bold like I have with the purple printed dress in the third outfit, you can try the colour combination on a smaller scale with a purple scarf. A bright scarf and bag are a fun way to add colour to a neutral layered outfit in winter too.

Magenta Bag With Tee and Denim

Forever a staple outfit, a classic tee and denim formula is a go to the world over. To make it just a little different from a standard basic formula though, you can add a bright bag. And this fun magenta bag is definitely bright enough to add more interest to any version of denim and tee you wear!

Magenta Bag With Matching Magenta Accessories

Since magenta pairs so perfectly with blue, and I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe, I also have quite a few other magenta pieces. It's fun to make a matchy-matchy outfit and wear more than one magenta piece at a time. From a pink skull scarf to a magenta cami peeking out from under a dress, or a larger matchy-matchy with the magenta cardigan and bag together! Even if the pink in that last skull scarf isn't quite magenta...it's close enough to make my matchy-matchy self happy!

Magenta Bag and Printed Dress Outfits

A big bold block colour hobo bag like this Balenciaga day bag is so easy to wear with statement printed dresses. You can try coordinating like I have with the pink and purple dress in the third outfit there, or just have the bag be a bright pop of colour and contrast against the print like I have in the other three outfits.

Magenta Balenciaga Day Bag In Pregnancy

I always love putting pregnancy photos in these 30 ways to wear posts. Because not every item of clothing will be wearable through all 3 trimesters of pregnancy and beyond, but a handbag sure will! A big practical hobo bag like this, it got a lot of wear over my last pregnancy.

30 Ways To Wear A Blush Pink Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Darren

For this month's 30 ways to wear post, I'm featuring another bag, this beautiful Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger in peony pink. A bag I've worn a lot more than 30 times, the pastel pink has been so versatile in my wardrobe!

30 Ways To Wear: Blush Pink Small Darren Satchel Bag

When I saw this bag during a browse of the David Jones sale I could not get it out of my head - so I had to buy it! I didn't think about how I would wear it, just how pretty it was. I have been pleasantly surprised to find it works with so many outfits in my wardrobe! The adjustable strap is a nice feature, although I do mostly wear it on the longest crossbody setting. I started out just trying this bag as a lovely pastel pink touch of colour with a neutral or monochrome outfit, but found over time blush pink goes with so much, and I'm so glad I stumbled across this bag in the sale! I'm really not sure why this messenger style was discontinued - the Darren is still available in other styles, but this original one will always be a true classic to me!

Cost Per Wear

I bought this bag back in October 2018, at over 50% off it was $240.78 as there was an extra discount on the sale price. At 44 wears to date, that's $5.47 a wear so far. Higher than the $1 a wear most people aim for, but given how often I reach for this bag and how much I love it, I have no doubt it will get to $1 a wear or less in time.

One thing to note is that the lighter colour has suffered from colour transfer - thankfully it was easily cleaned off. Since then I haven't had any further issues wearing this bag with denim or dark clothing, it's staying stain free.

Since I've worn this bag a lot more than 30 times, I tried to pick just my 30 favourite outfits to share.

Pastel Pink Bag and Little Black Dress

This was one of the first ways I started wearing this bag - pairing the pale pastel pink with a lot of black. A little black dress is perfect for that. The bag adds a nice colour that isn't too statement making like a brighter pink bag would be, and pink and black always go together nicely.

Blush Pink Bag With Blue Outfits

If you're read my blog occasionally you'll know that blue and pink is a colour combination I always love to wear - different shades of blue and pink work together so well! While navy blue is a frequent go-to with this blush pink Darren bag, you can see with these outfits that even lighter shades of blue look nice with the pastel pink.

Pastel Pink Bag With Monochromatic Neutral Outfits

Just like the little black dress outfits above, neutral colours were a good starting point for me with this bag. Blacks and greys together create easy neutral outfits, and the pastel pink bag is a lovely way to inject a little colour with all those neutrals and otherwise monochromatic outfits.

Blush Pink Crossbody Bag and Purple

Although not something I wear as much as pink and blue, I do really like pink and purple in an outfit together. I just don't have many purple pieces in my wardrobe to pair this bag with! As you can see, the lilac tee is a firm favourite with this bag, I like the two pastel tones together.

Pastel Pink Bag Matching Other Pieces In An Outfit

If you're really not too sure about what colours go with a pastel coloured bag like this Rebecca Minkoff Darren, try doing a little matchy-matchy! I find pink scarves, or even piece4s with a blush pink print in them, coordinate perfectly with this peony pink bag and make any outfit feel a bit more cohesive. I love that I have a pair of shorts that match the bag so well too!

Pink Bag Worn With Other Contrasting Shades of Pink

If a little pink accessory looks good in an outfit, why not add even more pink? This was a fun colour combination to try, although I'd had this bag a while before attempting it! Trying two different shades of pink in the same outfit, from a deep berry blouse to a bright fuchsia dress, even the magenta kimono. The pastel pink works well with all other shades of pink I've tried it with! When I was trying this combination out I always wore it with other neutrals like black and white as you can see in these outfits.

Blush Pink Bag With With Other Pinks and Blue

This is a great example of how I've slowly tried more colour combinations with this bag! I could definitely categorise them some of the outfit formulas above. It's the blush pink and brighter pink outfit pieces combination, but this time instead of sticking with black and white pieces, I'm adding a little more colour and having the two different shades of pink, and a little bit of blue as well. Easy pairings I know that work well together, worn all at once to make a colourful new trio that I can try out in different outfits.

Rebecca Minkoff Peony Darren Bag and Skirts

This is the best way to show the versatility of this bag - it works so well with all my outfits, as you've seen above. But while I worried the crossbody messenger style might feel too casual, I think it's perfect for the office too! It looks just as good with a maxi skirt as it does with a little denim skirt, or a pencil skirt for work. It really is such a versatile bag, and I'm glad I have it in my wardrobe!

30 Ways To Wear Mulberry Alexa Satchel In Foggy Grey

I had this Mulberry Alexa in foggy grey in my wardrobe for a few years. While reminiscing about it I looked up some photos from the blog and was surprised to see I'd surpassed 30 wears with it! So although I've sold this bag on and no longer own it, let's look back on some of the ways I wore it while I had it.

30 Ways To Wear: Mulberry Alexa In Foggy Grey

Back in 2012 I was excitedly stalking the Mulberry Alexa bag on the now closed Reebonz site, waiting for that perfect storm of a great sale and a good exchange rate to bring it down to my budget. I was thrilled to score this bag for $1,028 as I had a discount code on top of the sale price. It was the perfect shade of greyish purple and I wore it a lot, getting to over 45 wears before I sold it on. I don't remember how much I sold it for though, which makes cost per wear tricky to calculate as I can't deduct the money I got from selling it! It works out at a $22.84 per wear just taking into account the price I paid and how many times I wore it, but I know that the new owner has worn it a bunch more too.

I sold the bag in 2016 so 45 wears in 4 years isn't too bad considering how often I rotate my bags. The turn lock closure and magnetic straps were just a bit too much each time I wanted to use the bag when my son was a newborn so it wouldn't have gotten much wear if I had decided to keep it. I probably won't stop searching it on resale sites now and then though, hoping I stumble across one at a bargain price in great condition!

30 Ways to Wear Mulberry Alexa Bag: Video Style

---

Here's some of the ways I wore this beautiful foggy grey lilac toned Mulberry Alexa bag while it was in my wardrobe:

Neutral Dresses and Purple Toned Alexa Bag

A colourful bag is a go-to for me with a neutral outfit! And these neutral black and brown dresses are the perfect backdrop to showcase the lovely purpley-grey colour of this Mulberry Alexa bag. Because it's such a grey based purple, it stands out without making too much of a statement.

Office Outfits With Mulberry Small Alexa Bag

While it was in my wardrobe, I found the Mulberry Alexa was a great bag to wear to work. The muted purple colour worked well as it wasn't too bold and bright and attention grabbing. It's a nice classic style for toting everything to work and really roomy too!

Purple Toned Alexa Bag With Other Purple Clothing Pieces In An Outfit

I like a bit of matchy-matchy, but this Mulberry Alexa bag is such a unique shade of purple I didn't have anything in my wardrobe that matched it exactly! It does compliment other purple pieces in an outfit though, even if not the same shade. From the lilac tee, to the deeper purple skinny jeans, or even the berry cardigan that's more on the magenta side, this grey-ish purple goes perfectly!

Purple Scarf Outfits With Foggy Grey Alexa

Just like the outfits above, none of these purple scarves match the Alexa bag, even the lilac one around the grey dress in the middle. Again though I still think the extra shades of purple from the scarves go nicely with the different purple-grey shade of the bag.

Purple Toned Alexa Bag With Pink Outfits

Pink and purple is always a good colour combination - and these 4 outfits showcase that well, from bold neon pink, to a blush pink. The pink and purple colour combo with this bag works well in any pink shade.

Printed Dresses and Mulberry Alexa Bag

Because the Mulberry Alexa bag in foggy grey is one block colour with neutral toned hardware, it's easy to pair with printed pieces like these dresses. All three dresses here are different prints and colours but the Alexa is a great accessory with all three!

Mulberry Alexa Bag Worn In Winter Outfits

I'm not someone who thinks some colours can only be worn seasonally. While this purple toned bag is great for warmer weather, it works equally well in winter! As you saw with the neutral dress outfits above, I like it with dark winter neutrals like black, grey and navy as it provides just a little extra colour without being too bright.

Pregnancy Outfits with Mulberry Alexa Bag

I wore this Mulberry Alexa bag a lot in pregnancy - no matter how big my belly got, this bag always worked! Bags are a good investment as you can wear them for years.

Leopard Print Tees and Distressed Denim Skirts With Aqua Mini MAC Crossbody Bag

Demonstrating my love of outfit formulas again by wearing two incredibly similar outfits with distressed denim skirts, sneakers and leopard print tees, a few days apart. One more colourful outfit and another more neutral one, but both with an extra pop of colour from my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in aquamarine.

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Top: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

This was an easy outfit for a hot day! I like the boxy cut of this tee, although I do think that maybe I should have tucked it into this distressed denim skirt. I really loved it last time I wore it that way with another denim skirt. I felt comfortable and colourful in this all day though, it was only looking at the pics I thought I should have tucked the tee in.

I like orange and blue together so the cobalt beaded necklace and House of Harlow wrap bracelet were easy accessory options with this, and the little aqua mini MAC really pops with the neon orange leopard print. It's not the first time I've worn this bag and tee together, I really like the pairing!

I'd planned a relaxed day for some child-free time after dropping both kids off at school. I did have a couple of errands to run, but I managed to make it to my favourite opshop for a very long and leisurely browse too. I didn't get much for myself but I did fill a bag of clothes for the kids that was just $5! Pretty good deals! The Adidas Superstar sneakers were nice and comfortable for the little bit of running around I did in the morning before school pick up in the afternoon.


Last worn: orange leopard print tee, blue beaded necklace, cobalt wrap bracelet, distressed denim skirt, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: orange leopard print tee and skinny jeans, distressed denim skirt and duster, Adidas Superstar and dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and printed jeans.

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

Ways To Wear a Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Kmart grey leopard print tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

Our usual Friday library visits have been pushed to the weekend now both kids are in school! After a great week at school I took the kids out to the library to pick up some new books, and then to the bike track for a little ride around. It was threatening to rain all morning but thankfully we were in the car on the way home before the rain started, perfect timing!

This necklace is one of my recent opshop finds - it's the same as the turquoise one I thrifted at a different opshop back in December, what are the chances! I thought I'd keep it simple and use it with a monochromatic outfit with this grey leopard print tee and the black Nobody Denim distressed skirt, and black New Balance sneakers. The grey tee was a bargain Kmart clearance find a couple of years ago and as this is it's 6th wear I'm definitely getting good value from the $2 I spent on it!

Of course I couldn't have a completely neutral outfit - I always want to add some colour - and much like it was in the first outfit above, the little aquamarine mini MAC bag was a great pop with this leopard print tee. It looks so good with black and grey.


Last worn: grey leopard print tee, distressed denim skirt, black and white bangle, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: grey leopard print tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and floral kimono, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It

Tess and denim are a summer staple! A printed tee, like these two leopard print ones, can add a little more interest to a simple tee and denim skirt outfit.
