Red Tees, Denim Shorts, Printed Kimonos and Aqua Mini MAC Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing some more colourful casual shorts and tees outfits for summer with red tees, printed kimonos and a little aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Wore both these outfits back in December.

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Surprisingly I haven't worn this coral red tee with this tropical floral print duster before! They are such a good combination, even if the shades of red don't match. I added this fun statement beaded necklace for a touch of even more red, and the little aqua mini MAC bag was another bright pop of colour.

This was a great outfit for a busy school holiday day before Christmas! Took the kids out to watch a Christmas movie in the morning, they picked up a few last minute presents and we had time for some Christmas craft at the shopping centre too before heading home as we had sports in the afternoon.

We saw the "A Boy Called Christmas" movie and it was really good! Highly recommend watching it - maybe next year as Christmas is long over now - I've just been a bit behind with sharing outfits!

Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in terracotta
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much I followed the outfit formula again a few days later. Went with this shorter blue printed kimono this time, and this slouchy red round neck tee. So nice paired with the blue Bermuda denim shorts, and again with the aqua mini MAC bag

Wore my supportive New Balance sneakers, as again we had a busy day! Dropping off some donations at the opshop in the morning, and of course having a little browse, and then some shopping and having lunch with mum at IKEA.



How You Can Wear It:

A kimono is a great piece to have in your wardrobe for summer! You can throw it over a basic shorts and tee outfit, as I have here, to add more colour and interest to your outfit.

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:

Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
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.

Other ways to wearruffle cami and printed jeans, floral maxi skirt and pink tee, studded sandals and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and denim.

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.


Last worn: mint cami, blue and gold necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, studded sandals (above), Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

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.
