Dresses With Scarves, Denim Jacket And Micro Bedford Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Making the most of spring and wearing some pretty dresses with denim jackets, and my little Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. Added scarves to deal with the (still a little cool) spring temperatures at the start of September in Brisbane.

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! We took advantage of a pupil free day where we all also had the day off to take the kids out to Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo. It's been a few years since we were last there even though it's just over an hour away from us.

With it being a warmer day I dressed in layers to keep warm in the cooler morning, but so I could take them off and on through the day. The light navy star print scarf was just perfect, although it did cover up the carefully picked out necklaces I was wearing, including my silver giraffe necklace.

I wore that necklace on a previous trip to the zoo while pregnant with my now 7 year old, where we were lucky enough to feed a giraffe then. We did that again this time, and the kids got to have a go too. It was so much fun, big thank you to my mum and sister for getting us the tickets!

The little Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag was a nice colour with the denim jacket and navy scarf, and perfect for my essentials and camera. I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack too as it fit all the water bottles and snacks for us all, but the little crossbody bag kept my camera handy. I took hundreds of photos as usual! It's not every day you get to feed a giraffe though.

BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight


Why I wore it:

After the previous day at the zoo, this day needed to be much more relaxed! Stuck with a similar outfit formula again, although with this shorter grey skater dress, a white denim jacket instead, and this fun striped scarf. I really like pink and grey together. 

It turned into a really warm day though, the denim jacket didn't stay on long!

We popped out to the opshop to check out one of their sales, where I picked up a really cute skirt for just $1! Then it was grabbing some last minute groceries, a trip to the library and a play in the playground before heading home for lunch. Ended up having to put the bandage on my knee to support it after all the walking around at the zoo the day before, but I could rest it in the afternoon when we stayed home.

How You Can Wear It:

Dresses and denim jackets are spring staples! A fun printed scarf is a great extra layer to wear in this season as it can easily be removed and put in your bag when it warms up later in the day.

Printed Jeans, White Tees And Cardigans

Another two outfits following similar outfit formulas. White tees, printed jeans and cardigans with Rebecca Minkoff bags. Just like in Monday's post though, again I loved one outfit more than the other despite it being the same basic pieces together.


What I wore:

mustard cardigan with Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
TeeCotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
JeansSass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Yellow with these chevron print jeans really pops, so cheerful and colourful. The aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and turquoise necklace are an awesome extra touch of colour too. While this white tee does have a spotty texture all over I thought it might still work with the print of the jeans as it was neutral and a fairly subtle design and I'm glad I gave this a go, really liked this combination.

Wore this to work from home and take a late lunch to go cheer my child on for sports at school. The cardigan was too warm most of the day working from home but I appreciated it in the windy afternoon as I sat on the sidelines of the field for half an hour.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, turquoise stone necklace, white tee, chevron print skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wearmustard cardigan and shorts, white tee and maxi skirt, chevron print skinny jeans with pink and purple, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and magenta florals.

Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
TeeAtmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum


Why I wore it:

I liked this outfit and I felt good in it, but just didn't like it as much as the one above. I'd planned a different top to wear but went with another white tee as I realised that morning I hadn't yet ironed the one I wanted to wear. With two little boys, I can never keep up with laundry! And I was going to go for a purple cardigan as well but after a particularly cold start to the morning I needed something a bit thicker and warmer so went with this navy one. Still added a little purple to my outfit with this plum Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote though, purple is so good with the pink leopard print jeans. I've worn it with them before.

Comfortable for a busy day with with school run, sports for the little one while his brother was at school then sports for both boys in the evening after school pick up. I also carried the baby bag for everyone's water bottles and post sport snacks as the mini MAB tote really just fits the essentials.

How You Can Wear It:

White tees are a wardrobe classic and always look good with printed jeans. A cardigan can add a little extra warmth for a cold spring day and a lot of extra colour.
