Layering Dresses For A Wet Summer

Layering up two dresses a little for some wetter than normal summer days last month, earlier in December.

Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

Had to break out the ankle boots as this day was so wet! A little frustrated I didn't get a great pic of this outfit as it was pouring with rain. But I loved the outfit and the ankle boots were a very practical choice!

We had an important appointment for my son in the morning and then I decided to stop at our favourite opshop before I got home too. Regretted my decision to go to the opshop though as the rain got really heavy as I was driving and I ended up leaving the shop empty handed as nothing caught my eye. Luckily the rain had changed to a steady drizzle by the time I left though instead of the crazy downpour that happened while I was driving!

Did love my outfit though, this white denim jacket was a great topper with the blue floral tiered sundress and kept me warm despite all the rain. Although the Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag is a different shade of pink from the pastel on the floral print of the dress but I still thought it was a good combination. Just like the lilac necklace that didn't match the dress but was a nice third colour also.

Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings

NecklaceTiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Dress: Jeanswest Rachel Lyocell chambray dress
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Thankfully I didn't have to drive around in really heavy rain on this day! Although it did rain it wasn't as bad as the day above. Still felt the need to layer up my sleeveless dress a little though to combat the chill when it rained, and this green floral duster was the perfect topper to keep my shoulders and arms warm.

This Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag is such a nice shade of teal and I really like wearing it with green, it works well with the duster. And of course it looks good with the chambray dress too that's the perfect neutral.

Added the navy tassel earrings to dress up my outfit a little, even though I was just a regular day with the school run, sports for the little one then sports for both boys again in the evening.

How You Can Wear It:

Denim jackets and duster kimonos are easy, light layers to add to a planned dress outfit when a wet and wild summer makes things a littler cooler than you expected.

Fuchsia Kmart Dresses and Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Neverfull | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing two fun and colourful outfits with my two fuchsia Kmart dresses, and my Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag.

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dressthrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

Wore this quite some time ago, back before Christmas when we went to stay at Seaworld resort for the weekend. This was a comfortable and colourful outfit for the school run and the library and some errands with the little one in the morning. We headed straight down the coast after picking my eldest son up from school that afternoon. While this dress was comfortable for the drive it was probably not the best for a long car ride, the linen creased quite a lot!

I loved the bright colour combination of the digital print kimono against the bold fuchsia dress though, it compliments the magenta in the print of the kimono nicely and pops with the orange in the print.

The Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull was perfect for toting everything around too, we had a swim before dinner once we got to the resort. You'll notice I changed my shoes too in the evening, I knew I'd need the extra support for walking around the theme park so swapped out my Converse I'd worn during the day in the afternoon for the New Balance as they are a bit more supportive.


Last worn: digital print kimono, fuchsia Kmart godet skirt dress, gold circle necklace, Converse, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

The Converse stayed on all day on this day! We had a quick errand to run that morning as well as a fun picnic playdate in the park. Because it was a warm day I wanted something light and this tiered midi dress is perfect, so loose and comfortable. I liked the shoulder coverage too, as I sat around talking while the kids played in the playground. It was a really fun day!

This lilac statement necklace was a fun combo with the fuchsia dress too - I've worn it with the first fuchsia dress above before so knew it would work just as well with this midi dress in the same shade. The blue Converse were a nice way to add a third colour to my outfit and again the Louis Vuitton Neverfull came in helpful for toting everything around. I had a big reusable Woolies tote for our picnic snacks and blanket too.
