Navy Dresses and Luna Blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Keeping things blue with two navy dresses, a bluey-grey bag and white sneakers for a couple of outfits a few weeks ago. I love how well this Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag in Luna blue goes with these two very different navy dresses.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This is the prettiest floral dress! My sister gave me it for Christmas and she picked so well! The Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag is a Christmas present too, as is the little gold charm necklace with one personalised name charm for each of my boys. I really got a lot of great Christmas gifts!

As a planned get together was cancelled due to possible Covid exposure, I was looking for another reason to give this pretty dress a wear. Not the fun party I'd planned to wear this dress too, but it was still good to give it a first outing for a mixed bag of a day with a trip to the dentist for the kids in the morning and then lunch at the in-laws in the afternoon. Things are usually pretty casual for lunch but I felt this dress still worked nicely, and I loved wearing it. Will definitely need to find more reasons to wear it in future!

I liked the gold necklace with the neckline of this dress too, even if the hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag is silver, I didn't mind the mixed metals. I went with the practical Adidas Superstar sneakers to help this seem like a more casual outfit too.


Last worn: Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. First time I've worn the dress and necklace as they were Christmas gifts.

Other ways to wear: Adidas Superstar and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and denim skirt.

Review And What's In My Bag With The Smaller Edie Crossbody:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! We had a fun morning visiting my parents, a trip to the library in the afternoon, and we also we had to go drop off a Covid care parcel for someone who was isolating after testing positive. After they removed the need to quarantine when you enter Queensland in December our cases kind of exploded, and so now we are at the stage of having people close to us test positive. It means dropping off little care packages with groceries and cards from the boys to try cheer them up. Thankfully they did have a speedy recovery, as this was back in January, and they are back to normal life now!

Outfit wise I kept it simple - this navy tiered dress looks so good with Converse, I wore it with Converse the first time I wore it too. And with the basic navy dress this turquoise and gold necklace was a good way to add another little extra shade of blue - it was a Christmas gift from the boys. Just like with the printed navy dress above, I found the Luna blue Edie bag was a great accessory with this outfit - it just works so well with other shades of blue.


Last worn: navy tiered dress, Converse All Star, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: navy tiered dress and orange bag, Converse All Star and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Sneakers and dresses are a staple outfit formula. You can make accessorising really simple by picking a bag that's similar to your dress, just a different shade. The bluey-grey bag works so well with the navy dresses here.

Denim Skirts, Colourful Tees and Floral Kimonos With Luna Edie Bag

Wearing some new kimonos I got back in December! I was very spoiled for Christmas and got a lot of nice things. I did a little opshopping in December too, so I have a few new pieces I wore in these outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: Woven Heart gold floral kimono (Christmas gift)
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt 
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue (Christmas gift)

Why I wore it:

Wore this for an easy but colourful outfit for a trip to a beach playground. It's one we don't go to as often as we should but the kids really enjoy - there are so many little play areas all next to each other and once the kids have had enough of the playgrounds we can go play on the beach for a bit. Thankfully it was a hot and humid day so it wasn't too bad when my son tripped and fell into the water at the beach! We still ended up heading home after that though.

I knew I wanted to be a bit matchy-matchy with this pretty new kimono and wear the turquoise beaded statement necklace I'd thrifted, doesn't it match the turquoise flowers in the print so well? The marigold tee was another bright pop of colour, and the denim skirt was another recent opshop find too, a nice length for running around the playground with the kids. Although I did wish I'd worn shorts or a maxi skirt when I was sitting on the beach as the kids played.

First wearing of another Christmas gift as well with this Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag in Luna blue. I'd fallen in love with the colour earlier last year when it was released but eventually it all sold out on the Rebecca Minkoff site. Was so thrilled to stumble across this one at Saks and told hubby he had to get me it for Christmas!


Last worn: marigold tee, New Balance sneakers. First time I've worn the necklace and skirt as they were recent purchases, and also first wear for the bag and kimono as they are Christmas presents.

Other ways to wear: marigold tee and printed jeans.

December Opshop Haul: What I Thrifted

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly printed kimono in white base ditsy floral (Christmas gift)
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace (Christmas gift)
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This was a combination I knew I'd try when I saw this pretty kimono my mum bought me - the floral print with the lilac tee. Again I went with a black denim skirt, this distressed one I bought preloved a few months ago. It's not the first time I've worn the skirt and tee together, it's a nice combination! Last time I layered it up with a darker floral kimono as a topper. This outfit was a lot lighter. I went with white Converse to match the white kimono, and this terrazzo and wood necklace my sons picked up for me for Christmas.

Although the Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag doesn't match any of the colours in this outfit I think this Luna blue is a good neutral! And I love how organised this bag helps me feel with the different compartments. Also carried a big Woolies reusable tote bag to the library with all of our books to be returned in it, so our water bottles went in there. Spent a little bit of time at the bike track after the playground too, although we didn't stay long as the rain started to sprinkle.


Last worn: purple tee, distressed denim skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag (above). First time I've worn the white floral kimono and beaded necklace as they are Christmas gifts.

Other ways to wear: purple tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and grey tee, white Converse and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple tee in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A black denim skirt is a staple piece to have in your wardrobe - you can't beat a tee and denim! With the neutral black, any bright tee goes, and you can add more colour and print to your outfit with a floral kimono as I've done in these outfits.
