Printed Dresses, Sneakers and Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag

Dressing up some casual dress and sneaker outfits with some statement earrings, making the most of the days back in December when there were no Covid cases in Brisbane and no mask mandates. Not sure the outfits worked being so casual then adding the statement earrings, but these were great comfortable outfits and it was nice to give my big earrings another wear!

Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
DressAtmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! Our usual errands after the school run as well as a trip to the library. After picking up my eldest from school in the afternoon and going to swimming lessons, we headed out to the bay to see the Manly lantern display being switched on. It was really pretty, although we didn't stay too long. We bumped into my sister in law and her family too but the kids were getting hungry - ended up picking up takeaway on our way home which the kids were happy about. It was a hot day and evening so this floral print shift dress was the perfect outfit.

These Adidas Superstar sneakers were comfortable for a little bit of running around during the day and for walking around the lantern displays in the evening. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag hasn't been worn in a while, it was definitely overdue a wear and was perfect for putting in all our water bottles along with all the essentials.


Last worn: turquoise and gold earrings, floral tee dress, Adidas Superstar, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Why I wore it:

Again I wore the simple outfit formula of printed dress, statement earrings, sneakers and Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran bag. Wore my cute blue Converse as I thought they went well with the navy print on the dress, even though the shades are different. The navy tassel earrings are a perfect match with the navy tassels on the dress though, making my matchy-matchy self happy.

Even though it was a hot day I liked the longer sleeves on this dress as the aircon in church was a little chilly. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag was good for church too as it fit water bottles in it as well as a couple books for the kids to read before kids church started.



How You Can Wear It:

Printed dresses are easy instant outfits for summer, and work well with sneakers.

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.
