Camis And Maxi Skirts With Rebecca Minkoff Love Too Bag

Trying an outfit combo I don't wear as often as I used to, pairing cami tops with maxi skirts. And accessorising with my little Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag in deep teal. The bag works well with both these outfits even though they have different colours.


What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Maria' cami in cream
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

With the pleated ruffle cami and the silky maxi skirt this outfit felt a little overdressed for a quiet Monday. We had the school run, sports and a playdate. I thought the cream cami was so nice with this floral print maxi skirt though, I was eager to pair the two together.  It has been a while since this ruffle cami was last worn too, definitely deserved another outing!

The necklace helped dress this outfit up more as well I felt, especially with the teal tassel earrings too. I thought they were a great match for the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. Even if it was a little dressier than my usual outfits, and a bit more dressed up than the day needed, I really liked this outfit. 


Last worn: ruffle cami, teal tassel earrings, heart charm necklace, floral maxi skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Cami: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

The casual jersey material of this maxi skirt made it feel a little more dressed down than the outfit above. I love this mint cami with blue and you can't go wrong with stripes, it looks great with the navy striped maxi skirt. Added the navy beaded necklace for a little matchy-matchy too.

Not the first time I've worn this cami and the teal bag together either, I really like the combination. Although once again I found myself wishing I'd tucked this cami in when I look back at the photos! I thought that last time I wore it too.

Just like the first outfit above, I went with simple studded sandals again. After the school run we had a couple errands to do and then we spent a bit of time at our favourite library again before school pick up in the afternoon.

How You Can Wear It:

A simple cami is a nice combination with a more casual maxi skirt - no matter what colour combinations you choose. You can't go wrong with a plain block colour cami and a printed skirt.

Layering Dresses For A Wet Summer

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


What I wore:

JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
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.





What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
JacketJeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
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.
