Striped Maxi Skirts, Tees and Rebecca Minkoff Hot Pink Mini MAC Bag

Wearing a different bag for a change! In October when I bought my Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag I wore it right away and have been wearing it for a while, so it was nice to switch things up a little and carry a different bag. Still a Rebecca Minkoff one though, it's quickly become my go-to bag brand!

These outfits were wonderful to wear and I really liked both - the hot pink bag works nicely with a blue outfit as well as a neutral black and grey one.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tee: Kmart blue marle tee
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

This striped maxi skirt was one of the outfits I had in mind when I was thinking how I could wear this blue tee. I really liked the way it looked together, it was nice and simple for a quiet day with a couple of errands. It's great when outfits you put together in your head turn out just as good as you imagined them!

This is the second wearing of this tee, so as I'm doing with everything I buy, my purchase review:
I really like this tee. I wanted to add more basics to my wardrobe and at $3 I couldn't say no to this. I've only worn it with maxi skirts so far, looking forward to wearing it with more things. Really pleased I got this, fits my 'wardrobe wishlist' as it's a great basic.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, blue tee, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tee: thrifted grey oversize tee
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the v-neck tee and striped maxi skirt outfit above, I wore it again with different pieces. This outfit was perfect for a morning attempting to go shopping with the boys. I shared a few pics on my instagram stories - I headed into Glue store to check out their denim range and try pick out a new pair or two. What you didn't see in the insta stories was how cranky both boys quickly got when I tried to take 10 minutes to try things on! Still haven't mastered the art of shopping in store for clothes with two little ones. Will probably wait a few more months before trying again...

At least my outfit was comfortable and didn't add to the stress levels of the morning, hehe!

Spring Layers: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Regan Yellow Cross Body Bag

Although our recent wave of summer-like temperatures makes this seem so long ago, there were a couple of cooler days in spring that gave me one last chance to enjoy layering again. I picked some light cardigans to wear with my skinny jeans, and accessorised with my mustard yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag. It looks so nice with blue!

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Scarf: navy bird print scarf
Tee: thrifted grey oversize tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Bindi skinny 7/8 jeans in indigo luxe
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

I was glad for a cooler day giving me another chance to wear this lovely scarf. Definitely my favourite over the past autumn/winter, it was perfect for taking off and on through the day as the temperature fluctuated with the rain showers.

Despite really liking this outfit, I had a bit of a sad day. Had a last coffee date with a friend before she flew out of Brisbane. It was wonderful that things aligned for us to have one more catch up before she left, but it was a bittersweet afternoon.


It's the second time I've worn this tee and I'm wearing everything I buy twice in the month I buy it to make sure I'm making sensible purchases. My purchase review:

I'm managing to get lots of use from this tee! For just $3.50 I know I'll get my money's worth from it, despite all of the grey tees I already own...not something I needed but something I'm pleased to have in my wardrobe. I need to focus on adding more basics and this is perfect.


Last worn: grey cardigan, navy bird print scarf, grey tee, prima denim skinny jeans, black ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan.

Other ways to wear: grey cardigan and a maxi skirt, bird print scarf and stripes, grey tee and shorts, prima denim skinny jeans and boucle, black ballet flats and black jeans, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan and monochrome grey outfit.

Where to Buy The Rebecca Minkoff Micro Regan Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest brown marle waterfall cardigan

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Wilma teething necklace in pale daffodil
Top: Kmart navy ribbed tank (new purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes:  Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in black or silver!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

I assumed that the next day would be just as cool, although I skipped the scarf just in case. I ended up being quite warm in this outside at playgroup when the sun came out, probably didn't need the cardigan. Again though I liked being able to wear a cosy layer once more before warmer weather stuck around and the cardigan was nice in the cooler morning and evening.

The yellow accessories went really nicely with the navy tank. I had planned more summery outfits when I bought this, but it was great to layer it up a little for its first wear for something a little different. I know I'll get lots of opportunities in the future to wear it differently as the hot weather is here to stay for spring now.



Last worn: marle cardigan, Jeanswest skinny jeans, gold mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan (above). First time I've worn the navy tank as it is a new purchase.

Other ways to wear: marle cardigan and maxi dress, Jeanswest skinny jeans and blush blazer, gold mouse flats and a wrap dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan and chambray skirt.

Dresses, Ankle Boots and Rebecca Minkoff Cross Body Bags

Dresses and ankle boots will always be a favourite outfit for spring. It's the perfect weather for bare legs and boots. I haven't worn the outfit combination much this year though, as I've been preferring separates that are easier to breastfeed in, and relying heavily on easy denim outfits. Although not all of my dresses are breastfeeding friendly, the ones below are as they have buttons.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Jacket: New Look Petite print kimono
Dress: Jeanswest Rachel Lyocell chambray dress (C/O)
Shoes: Asos leather Chelsea boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

This was a quiet day. Spent time with my mum in the afternoon, and in the morning I had a couple of errands to run as well as baby boy's weekly weigh. I went with a pretty blue outfit, again to try boost my confidence a little for the weigh in session! I'm at that point in my maternity leave where dresses are starting to feel a bit too much like 'special occasion' pieces, so it's nice to get them out even if the day doesn't call for being dressed up. I want to wear more of my wardrobe and not just the same few things over and over!


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, navy kimono, chambray dress, Chelsea ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

Other ways to wear: navy kimono and skinny jeans, chambray dress and lace, Chelsea ankle boots and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and denim shorts.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Dress: Atmos&Here Nigella collarless shirt dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots (on sale!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale and on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

I picked this dress out to wear again, it's been a while and I had been looking forward to wearing it with bare legs in warmer weather when I bought it. With ankle boots of course, and then the red bag seemed nice with the red print on the dress. This was a simple and easy outfit for a boring morning at the accountants and shopping for groceries. Again, like the outfit above, I did feel a little overdressed for the occasion. It was nice to wear this dress without all the winter layers though.

I was starting to run a little late for the appointment at the accountants when I noticed the lighting was perfect for photos - cloudy but bright. I was hurrying to setup and take a quick shot before I left, and was unimpressed when the sun popped out just as I snapped a picture! There was no time to reposition the camera into the shade before I hopped in the car so this squinting into the sudden sunlight shot is the best I got, haha! Should have just pulled my sunnies off my head...



Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (above), printed shirt dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: printed shirt dress and winter layers, black ankle boots and printed skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag and skinny jeans.
