Olive and Mustard Outfits With Blue Bags

I really like olive and mustard together! For Monday's post I shared some yellow and blue outfits, this time around it's yellow and olive green, with a little touch of blue.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! After the school run I took my youngest out to a messy play day. Something we used to do and enjoy regularly before Covid last year. It was so good to attend again. They've been running them for a while as life returned to normal quickly here after the first lockdown in March 2020 when we reached no cases, but we've always had something else on so couldn't make it before. It was an Easter theme so lots of eggs and bunnies and my son really enjoyed it. I just wanted a simple outfit as I know from experience there can be a little bit of mess that makes its way onto me!

So I wore simple soft shorts (these olive ones are a staple this summer) and a bright tee. This mustard one hasn't been worn in a while and surprisingly I've never worn it with these shorts before! I really like yellow with these olive shorts so it was interesting to see I hadn't put these two pieces together before. Added the tortoiseshell tassel necklace to try dress this up just a little.

The blue Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack is another touch of colour with the outfit but I just picked it as it's easy to clean with a baby wipe, in anticipation of it getting dirty during messy play!


Last worn: mustard tee, tortoiseshell necklace, olive shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Other ways to wear: mustard tee and maxi skirt, olive shorts with navy, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and midi dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Top: Kmart short sleeve textured dolman top in marigold
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I'd planned to wear this (almost more orange than mustard top) with the olive shorts above, but a cooler and rainy autumn day meant I went with jeans instead. Luckily I have these olive green skinny jeans so I could still wear the colour combo I had planned.

This was such a comfortable outfit for working from home and then spending some time with my mum in the afternoon. This marigold ribbed batwing sleeve top is so perfectly slouchy and such a cheerful colour, and these jeans are so comfortable. I wore them when we flew to Europe a couple years ago. The statement necklace helped dress it up a little too.

I thought the teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag would be a nice touch with the olive jeans, teal and olive are a surprisingly good combination.

Last worn: marigold slouchy top, statement necklace, olive skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar, teal croc Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: marigold slouchy top with grey, olive skinny jeans for long-haul flight, Adidas Superstar and floral dress, teal croc Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi dress.

How You Can Wear It 

Mustard and olive looks so good together! You can even introduce a third colour to your outfit with an accessory like a bag too, for an even more colourful and cheerful outfit.

Navy and Green Shorts Outfits With Sneakers and Blue Bags

I've been wearing a lot of blue lately! While I used to be a bit scared of blue and green together it's a combination I've really started embracing. Any shade of blue and green look so good together, as you can see in these simple outfits with different shades of green.

Because even though it's officially autumn, Brisbane keeps the summer heat around for a while, so my shorts are worn into April!

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

This outfit was really an excuse to wear this teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag again! It's true to its name of deep teal so I thought it would work well against a navy and green outfit. And this navy cropped tee works well with the comfortable slouchy olive embroidered shorts.

I really liked this outfit - while it was a little cooler in the morning and evening it was warmer during the day and this was super comfortable for a day of working from home. Did have to take my son to an appointment in the afternoon, so wore my supportive New Balance sneakers as they are good for my knee on the longish drive.

Last worn: navy marle tee, silver circle necklace, olive embroidered shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff teal Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: navy marle tee and maxi skirt, olive embroidered shorts and printed tee, Rebecca Minkoff teal Love Too bag worn 3 ways.

Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Jenni basic singlet in emerald green
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Again a green and navy shorts outfit! This time around with a green top and these navy striped culotte shorts. This green tank was definitely overdue another wear and the fitted top tucked into the shorts is a great way to show off the cute paper bag waist on the culottes. I was just working from home during the day, but I had a dentist appointment in the afternoon so I went with a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. Wore my cute little Rebecca Minkoff sky blue mini MAC bag as I only needed a few essentials at the dentist.

I thought the bright colour of the green top combined with the statement necklace would help cheer me up a little as I'm not a fan of the dentist. It just seemed to confuse the receptionist though who pointed out Saint Patrick's Day was the week before 😅 Made me laugh before my appointment though, clever move on their part to help me relax a little more!

Last worn: green fitted tank, thrifted statement necklace, navy stripe culottes, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. 

Other ways to wear: green fitted tank and kimono, navy stripe culottes in monochrome outfit, Adidas Superstar sneakers and floral dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and orange skirt. 

Perfect for pregnancy: green fitted tank at 39 weeks.

How You Can Wear It:

Green and blue are a wonderful colour combination! Any shade works well together but you can't beat navy. As you can see in these pics it works well with more muted greens like olive in the first outfit, or bolder brighter greens like in the second outfit.

Olive and Black Outfits With White Jackets and Blue Mini MAC Bag

I feel I've been wearing a lot of black and olive recently! (Like here). It's a nice easy colour combination and it works well for autumn, even if I did try to lighten it up a little in these outfits with the white jacket and the blue mini MAC bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings

Jacket: no label white drape jacket
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

First wearing of jeans for the season felt like a big milestone! it was a bit of a wet day and not too humid so I thought the jeans were a good choice. These Nobody Denim siren skinny jeans are so comfortable and of course go with everything in a classic black. I was a little worried about the sleeveless tank in case it got colder so I added this white light jacket on top - it was the perfect layer and lightened this outfit up a bit too. With the pretty embroidery at the neckline, I didn't think it needed a necklace but I did add some cute statement earrings. While turquoise and gold I thought they went well with the sky blue mini MAC bag.

Easy outfit for a busy day, helping in my son's classroom in the morning, running some errands and a trip to the library with the little one before sports in the evening.

Last worn: white waterfall jacket, gold disc earrings, olive embroidered tank, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff sky blue mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: white waterfall jacket and little black dress, olive embroidered tank and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and floral kimono, New Balance sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff sky blue mini MAC bag and orange.

Perfect for pregnancy: white waterfall jacket in third trimester.

My Favourite Rebecca Minkoff Bag:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring

Jacket: Shein lace trimmed crochet inset white kimono c/o
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (C/O)
Tank: Atmos & Here Oregon stripe tank
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Another olive and black outfit, again with a white topper, and another pair of gold and turquoise earrings! I followed Sheila's example and wore this to dress up for a zoom meeting at work. While I do wear actual clothes and not just loungewear on the days I work from home and do the school run, as you'd know from the simple outfits I share on those days I don't usually accessorise so much, that was just for the meeting. Made me feel nice and pulled together when I spent time with my mum in the afternoon too though.

I liked the gold and turquoise earrings and necklace to dress up this black striped tank and olive shorts outfit a little. I thought that the kimono was a nice way to dress it up a little more too, although with it being a quite humid day I took it off most of the time I was sitting at my desk. 

I also got caught up with a high priority issue and missed most of the meeting so I was feeling a bit silly for actually bothering to try dress up at first - but it was nice to put some effort in even if few people saw it! I've been trying to wear my pretty earrings more to add a little extra touch to my outfits as I enjoyed this accessorising.

Last worn: crochet trim kimono, gold and turquoise disc earrings, stone pendant necklace, black striped tank, olive embroidered shorts, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC (above)

Other ways to wear: crochet trim kimono and maxi dress, black striped tank and maxi skirt, olive embroidered shorts and cardigan, Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC and pink jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Olive and black is a classic combo of two neutrals together and it works well even if you have a little extra detail on one of your pieces, like the olive embroidery I've worn here. A white coverup like a kimono or jacket is a good way to lighten up the combo too.

White Tees, Shorts, Sneakers and Marc By Marc Jacobs Bags

Easy outfits for the hot days of autumn that are really just an extension of the summer heat and humidity! Pairing some white tees with shorts and my Marc by Marc Jacobs bags. Because even though fashion has moved on and the brand doesn't exist any more, I still love a classic bag!

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart space dye cream and black longline top
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

This was the lightest outfit I could think of for such a hot and humid day - a soft slouchy printed white tee with loose pull on olive shorts. The chunky sneakers were nice and comfortable for a planned morning at the park after school drop off for my eldest.

I'd picked a new park to go to near a new tailor I wanted to try to get some maxi skirts fixed up. Unfortunately the park, while lovely, didn't have a shade cover. Not the best idea for such a hot day! Luckily the little one was happy to go for a walk round the park instead seeking as much shade as possible while he tried to "find a better park". Eventually the heat and lack of shade made us retreat back home to the aircon before school pickup in the afternoon.

I didn't need to carry much, a little snack and our water bottles along with the usual essentials, but I wore this big Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag anyway as I liked the way the carob brown looked with the olive embroidered shorts.


Last worn: space dye tee, feather necklace, olive embroidered shorts, chunky platform sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Other ways to wear: space dye tee and kimono, olive embroidered shorts and cardigan, chunky platform sneakers and midi dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' printed kimono
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet with Rebecca Minkoff Crystal Star Shoulder Guitar strap

Why I wore it:

This was a much more colourful outfit than the first one, and thankfully a much cooler day! I also had the benefit of working from home between the school run and not having to be out in the heat!

I've worn this pretty magenta Marc By Marc Jacobs convertible clutch with pink a few times since I first thrifted it, but I really wanted to try it with purple too. It was a great combination! This purple printed kimono has a few colours in the print which made it a nice topper with the otherwise monochromatic black denim shorts and white tee outfit. The white tee has a bit of texture to it that looks almost like a print, but it is so subtle it still worked as a good base with the colourful printed kimono. Decided not too fuss over my hair too much but it certainly looks like it could have done with a little straightening that morning 😂


Last worn: purple printed kimono, white v-neck tee, circle necklace, black denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff bag strap, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch.

Other ways to wear: purple printed kimono and matching jeans, white v-neck tee and culottes, black denim shorts with a dress, New Balance sneakers and midi, Rebecca Minkoff bag strap on love bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch with pink tee.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and a tee is a summer staple, perfect for mum life or working from home. For a little extra interest in your outfit you can pick a white tee that has a bit of print or texture, or add a bright kimono on top.

Olive And Black Striped Tanks and Shorts Outfits With LV Speedy Bandouliere

Easy striped tank and shorts outfits with black and olive together, and my Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere bag. While I wore these outfits back in February while it was still summer, there was some cooler autumn weather so I layered one outfit up a little with a light jacket.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted black Emerson drawstring waist utility jacket
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Top: Atmos & Here Oregon stripe tank
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

This black and white striped tank is one you're going to see on repeat lately - it's so close to 30 wears and I'm eager to get it there so I can put together a post on it in the next couple of months. It really is such a wardrobe staple. The black and white stripes look good with the olive shorts.

It was a strange kind of day, more rain but not a lot of humidity - a clear sign of autumn weather starting to arrive. I picked the Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere to wear as it's waterproof, and added the jacket on top of my light tank and shorts outfit as it was cooler than I expected when we headed off for the school run in the morning. After the school run the little one and I headed out to look for decorations for his upcoming birthday - he'd picked a theme at last but we were struggling a little because despite visiting four different stores there was very little to pick from overall in the party sections. I guess it doesn't make sense to have a lot of stock if the restrictions can change at the last minute for parties! Determined to let him have a big party this year though after we had to cancel at the last moment a year ago with the restrictions.

By school pickup the humidity had returned too and our jackets were unnecessary, but I still liked this outfit. The shoes were good for all the running around we did between different stores, but I swapped to my my supportive New Balance sneakers for school pickup as my knee was starting to complain from all the walking and driving.

Last worn: black utility jacket, black striped tank, silver circle necklace, olive embroidered shorts, Adidas Superstar, Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere.

Other ways to wear: black utility jacket with green jeans, black striped tank and blazer, olive embroidered shorts and mustard cardigan, Adidas Superstar and dress, Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere in third trimester.

What's Inside My Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Speedy Bandouliere:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Top: Cotton On stripe sailor tank in dusky green / grey marle
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

Summer weather had returned on this day, so no extra layers were needed! Again I stuck with black and olive, with this old grey and olive striped tank that was definitely overdue a wear and my black Bermuda denim shorts. An easy and comfortable outfit for a day out shopping with the kids and my mum - I did pretty well, picking up a new pair of shoes, as did my mum! I wore my supportive New Balance sneakers as I felt they went well with the outfit and they also help my weak knee. I'd been rushing around a lot that week and was starting to feel more pain, these shoes are so helpful at reducing the pain. I stuck with the Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere as I'd worn it the day before, above, and it meant I didn't have to swap out my bag as it went with this outfit too.

Wanted to dress it up just a little so added some rose gold accessories with the filigree heart necklace and the heart stud earrings. Was a really nice day out!

Last worn: gold heart earrings, olive and grey stripe tank, rose gold heart necklace, black Bermuda denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere (above).

Other ways to wear: olive and grey stripe tank and printed jeans, black Bermuda denim shorts and kimono, New Balance sneakers and maxi skirt, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and skater dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: olive and grey stripe tank in second trimester, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Olive and black are great neutrals together. To prevent a neutral outfit feeling too bland, try introduce a bit of a print - stripes are my go-to, as you can see here.

Navy, Olive and Mustard Shorts And Tee Outfits: Weekday Wear Link Up!

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two summer shorts outfits with the same colour schemes - a little mustard bag with navy and olive. The yellow is a fun pop with the neutral clothes.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Scarf: Kmart mustard floral hair scarf
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (C/O)
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

Wore this for our recent public holiday at the end of January, making the most of the Tuesday off and the great weather to have a picnic in the park. My parents joined us too. We found a shady spot and there was a bit of a breeze so it was a great day despite the heat. We even found a trail we hadn't uncovered in the park before and explored it a little bit before lunch.

Tried to curl my hair but the humidity meant it didn't last long! I thought the mustard floral scarf would be a nice touch in my hair too, and kind of matched the mustard Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag. It's not the first time I've worn this bag with these olive embroidered shorts, it's a combination I really like.

Stuck with practical comfortable shoes as I'd aggravated my knee injury a little the week before and needed the extra support from the New Balance sneakers. I spent a lot of time stretching my knee out  on the picnic bench - especially after our little trail walk!


Last worn: heart earrings, navy tee, turquoise stone necklace, olive embroidered shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan crossbody. First time I've worn the floral scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: navy tee worn two ways, olive embroidered shorts and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan crossbody and maxi skirt.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Regan

---

What I wore:

Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

This was another day out with the kids, so again I went for easy and comfortable shorts. With the public holiday on the Tuesday, hubby took the Monday off (and I always have Mondays off anyway) so we could go to a new park with the kids. I'd heard good reviews about the park and although it was a little smaller than I expected, the boys really enjoyed it. It's got a paved road system laid out with proper traffic signs and even traffic lights so they could have fun riding their bikes around. We didn't quite avoid the rain unfortunately, but thankfully the shower didn't last too long and the kids didn't get too wet so they had a little more riding time before lunch.

I wasn't sure if the embroidered tank would be a bit much with the stripes on these navy culottes, but I'm glad I gave the combination a try for something different! And with the tank being made of viscose and the shorts being linen blend they thankfully dried out quickly after we got caught in the rain.

Will have to wear the Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan with these navy stripe culottes again, they pair so perfectly together!

Last worn: olive embroidered tank, navy stripe culotte shorts, New Balance sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan crossbody (above).

Other ways to wear: olive embroidered tank and jeans, navy stripe culotte shorts and white tee, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan crossbody and little black dress.

---

How You can Wear It:

Yellow, blue and green are a trio of colours that work so well together, in any shade! I've worn, navy, olive and mustard in these shorts outfits but a brighter blue, green or yellow shade would work equally well.

Cotton On "The One" Tees and Soft Shorts With Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag

Last Christmas my mum got me a pink "The One" tee from Cotton On. Since then I've added quite a few more to my wardrobe! I love the range of colours, the fact that they are often on sale, soft, made with 20% recycled cotton and wash and wear well. With working from home and no longer needing to go into an office I'm embracing tees almost every day so these have been good purchases for me! I picked up these two clay coloured ones in the Cotton On sale for boxing day, reduced to $7.99 each. Plus I had a $10 rewards voucher so I ended up getting both together for just $5.98! Bargain! With the summer heat, I wore them for the first time with some cute soft pull-on shorts.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a working from home day, a rather stressful first day back after 4 weeks of leave over Christmas and new years. I don't usually dress up for a work from home day, sticking with loungewear or pyjamas but I was also spending time with my mum and sister in the afternoon, since our 3 day lockdown was thankfully lifted at the end of the 3 days! Simple shorts and tee for a busy day full off meetings while trying to get my brain back into work gear and catch up on everything I missed while I was away.

I really like colour of this tee. "Washed red clay" is a good description and it went so nicely with the black printed shorts, another summer staple for me. I wasn't sure the almond colour of the Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag would work with this at first, but when I tried it I thought it was a good neutral with the reddish tee. I didn't need to carry much so it was a good bag choice!


Last worn: feather necklace, black printed shorts, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera bag. First time I've worn the tee as it was a boxing day sale find.

Other ways to wear: black printed shorts in monochrome outfit, Adidas Superstar and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera bag and floral dress.

What's In My Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The one fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

I wore this outfit during Brisbane's 3 day lockdown, before the outfit above. While I was mostly at home, we were allowed to leave the house for exercise, so after watching the premier's morning update on restrictions and case numbers I took the chance to be the one to take the kids and Cooper out for a walk along a neighbourhood trail, and give hubby a bit of quiet at home. With the new mask guidelines I did have to wear a mask the entire time I was out the house, which was not the most comfortable thing on a walk on a humid day, but we weren't out long. We saw so many other masked dog walkers trying to get out before the day heated up too much too. Thankfully the boys understood the need to not pat all the dogs and try keep our distance. Cooper of course was too excited to see other dogs, but we have a pretty long leash to let them do their little doggy meet and greet 😂

With the terracotta stripes on this tee I wasn't sure if it would bee too Christmas-y with the olive shorts, but I think the stripes are small enough and on the terracotta side enough that it was a nice pairing together. I may repeat this around December though and make it more festive with more red! As I didn't need to carry much, just my phone and hand sanitiser with me on the walk, this little Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag was perfect, and everything was comfortable enough to wear when relaxing with the kids back at home too. Simple and comfortable for a very quiet Sunday at home.


Last worn: olive embroidered shorts, navy and gold beaded necklace, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag (above).

Other ways to wear: olive embroidered shorts and kimono, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and maxi dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and tee is the most basic of wardrobe staples. For something a little different you can try adding a print, like I have with the printed shorts in the first outfit or the striped tee in the second outfit. So easy to do but changes up a staple outfit a little.
