Onto my regular outfit post. While I really liked the way both of these outfits looked, I didn't enjoy wearing them so much. Shorts and a long sleeved top is a combination I really like wearing, and button up (or button down) shirts are perfect for breastfeeding. A Queensland summer heatwave is probably not a good time to wear such warm pieces though! Poor judgement on my part!
What I wore:
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale in pink!)
Why I wore it:
I deliberately picked out this warmer top to wear on a hot day as the morning was spent with appointments and more tests for baby boy. Needed something I could easily breastfeed in that would keep me warm in the freezing aircon. It was a good idea to cope with all the airconditioned buildings we were in, but it was so insanely hot getting out the car to walk into a building that I was regretting my outfit choice a little! I also forgot to add a teething necklace on the way out the door.It's not the first time I've worn this printed shirt this red bag, I really like the pop of colour it gives. Despite overheating a little when I stepped outside in this, I really did love this outfit and I'm keeping it in mind for whenever the cooler autumn weather decides to arrive.

Why I wore it:
You can see how old these pics are as Cooper's still all fluffy! 😂 I liked this shirt worn untucked with shorts here better than I did when I wore it last time tucked in. While it was a warm day I was eager to wear this shirt again. When the power cut at home and there wasn't any more aircon I was again regretting my decision to wear such a warm top on such a hot day. Luckily we didn't spend much time at home as we were going to stay down the cost with my parents for a few days. They had fully functional air conditioning thankfully, just what you need for a heatwave.As it's the second time I've worn this shirt, my purchase review:
I bought this shirt back in the Jeanswest sale in November, but didn't get to wear it much over December with baby boy's hospital stay. I figured it would be one of those pieces I could wear for both office wear and SAHM life. It really hasn't been worn often though.
I do think it's a nice shirt, and I'm glad I bought it, but it really won't get worn much until the weather cools off. I did order a trench coat in that Cyber Monday sale that I've kept and still haven't worn though, so managing to wear this shirt twice isn't too bad! I am looking forward to wearing this again, when it's not so hot.
Last worn:Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), navy textured shirt, Bermuda denim shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga tempete day bag.
Other ways to wear: navy textured shirt tucked in, Bermuda denim shorts and embroidered tank, Balenciaga tempete day bag and printed dress.
Blue Button Down Shirts Under $50:
Button up shirts don't have to be reserved for office wear. They look great worn casually with denim and work nicely with denim shorts - if the weather's right!
