What I wore:
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirtShoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight
Nails: OPI Dutch tulips
Why I wore it:
I thrifted this tee two years ago for just $1 and I realised it was overdue another wear. Surprisingly I hadn't worn it with this ochre maxi skirt before. I do love stripes with this skirt, it's an obvious choice with the block colour skirt going with any print. I also couldn't resist a little matchy-matchy - the navy Havaianas and the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag match the navy stripes on the tee well.I think I should try wearing this ochre maxi skirt with red again - the little pop of colour from my red nail polish and the red Coca-Cola logo on the tee was a nice subtle way to try the colour combination out.
Unfortunately my day didn't quite go as planned - as there was a (minor!) incident at the holiday care and I had to go rush to pickup my son early before trying to cram in more work before I left again to take my son to his appointment. At least my outfit was comfortable!

Why I wore it:
This day didn't quite go to plan either, but in a much more relaxing way! I had been sure that my son had an appointment to attend on this day as I'd written it down in my phone calendar. So we had our usual routine of getting up and getting the kids dropped off, trying to log onto work as early as possible to make up for leaving early for the appointment. During a gap in meetings I realised that I hadn't yet got an appointment reminder text... turned out I had not only the wrong day but the wrong time too, so there was no mad dash to finish work early to log off for the appointment. It made for a much less stressful afternoon!Again I went matchy-matchy with this outfit, with the navy leaf necklace and the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. Although the tee is more of a marle than a pure white, it's very subtle and you can't beat a classic red white and blue combo. This thrifted red maxi skirt will always be a favourite in the summer heat too. Well worth the $3 I paid at the opshop a few years ago, this is its 23rd wear!

How You Can Wear It:
A classic white tee, even a printed one, is a summer staple! To help your outfit feel a little more pulled together than a standard shorts and tee combo, try it with a colourful maxi skirt instead!
