Printed Dresses, Ankle Boots and Chloe Marcie | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing some recent autumn outfits with printed summer dresses with ankle boots and my newest handbag purchase, the Chloe Marcie bag. Although the boots are tan and the bag is brown I think they are far enough apart that these outfits work.

What I wore:

Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut (new purchase)

Why I wore it:

A slightly cooler autumn day meant being able to get out my ankle boots! It was a very warm start to autumn, and it's still quite warm during the day, but it is starting to get a little more autumnal around here! I thought with the tan ankle boots and the brown Chloe Marcie bag this was a great way to autumn-ise this little summer dress. While it's light, the longer sleeves helped keep me warm.

Our plan was to go to the library to stock up on books for the upcoming long weekend and spend some time at the playground, but our time was cut a little short with the rain! It worked out though as we had someone coming round to the house to do a quote for some work that afternoon, and they were available earlier than expected. We were home earlier than expected with the rain too so they were able to come over!


Last worn: Jeanswest Chelsea dress, bracelet stack, tan ankle boots. First time I've shared the bag as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: Jeanswest Chelsea dress and pink bag, tan ankle boots and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Jeanswest Chelsea dress in second trimester.

Chloe Marcie Handbag Reveal:

---

What I wore:

Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I probably should have added a denim jacket to this, as it was a little chilly that morning! I was glad I had a few errands to run at the local shopping centre after dropping the kids off at school so I could be indoors. Thankfully it really warmed up later in the day so I wasn't cold at school pickup!

This dress was such an easy instant outfit for such a busy day, as after I did some errands in the morning, I was working from home, had another errand to do in the afternoon, and then of course school pick up. One of those very busy days!

I really liked the neutral Chloe Marcie with this floral print tee dress. It's got so many colours in the print I often reach for natural accessories to wear with this dress.


Last worn: floral tee dress, tan ankle boots (above), Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: floral tee dress and sneakers, tan ankle boots and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: floral tee dress in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Printed dresses can be worn after summer before things cool down too much just by adding a pair of ankle boots to keep you a little bit warmer!

Fuchsia Kmart Dresses and Balenciaga Bags

Two pretty pink dresses! I love this bright bold fuchsia pink Kmart uses in their dresses, it's such a fun colour to wear. For extra bold outfits, I added some bright accessories too.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH

Why I wore it:

Wore this to celebrate Easter with the family. I'm a bit behind with blogging outfits! We headed down the coast for an Easter lunch and a high speed egg hunt. The kids get faster every year, and they had been asking about when the next Easter egg hunt would be since January! They were very excited and pleased with their haul.

My parents had also been doing a bit of spring cleaning, finally opening up some boxes that hadn't been touched since we moved into that house almost 20 years ago! After lunch we started looking through some. It was an incredible time capsule, lots of fun memories and we all ended up going home with a few boxes of things! Tamagotchi (which my kids are loving playing with!), Furby, things from primary school, Gameboy games, it was a treasure trove!

While this fuchsia tiered midi dress is bold enough on it's own I wanted to add a little more colour to it - this mango Balenciaga envelope clutch is such a cheerful colour and I was pleased by how much I liked the two together when I tried it! I wore my Balenciaga sandals too, although they don't match the pink of the dress the mini rose gold hardware matches the hardware on the envelope clutch nicely.

Last worn: dangly earrings, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress, gold charm necklace, Balenciaga sandals, Balenciaga mangue envelope clutch.

Other ways to wear: fuchsia pink tiered midi dress and pink bag, Balenciaga sandals and shorts, Balenciaga mangue envelope clutch and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sandals in second trimester, Balenciaga mangue envelope clutch in third trimester.

Favourite Balenciaga Bag In My Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Shoes: Purple high top Converse look-a-likes
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Another Kmart fuchsia dress that I love - this one was a very lucky opshop find, just $1! I added some colourful accessories to this dress too, with the blue wooden beaded necklace and turquoise Balenciaga First bag. Blue and pink are so good together, in any combination of shades. For something a little different I added a third colour in with these purple high top sneakers as well that I scored after my sister did a wardrobe clear out a while back.

Had a fun weekend playdate planned with some friends, although the kids were a little upset when one of their friends couldn't come along as he had virus symptoms. He had a negative test but as he wasn't feeling great and coughing he stayed home while we promised to organise another playdate in future. It was nice the playdate could continue with the other boys though, they had a fun time bouncing around on the trampoline, playing laser tag in the back yard and of course building amazing Lego creations. We'd been worried about it raining so that's why I hosted at my house, but it ended up being a really nice day and such a warm morning.


Last worn: Kmart linen blend dress, blue wooden bead necklace, purple high tops, Balenciaga first bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart linen blend dress and kimono, purple high tops and stripes, Balenciaga first bag and culottes.

How You Can Wear It:

Fuchsia is a fun bold colour to wear, but it doesn't mean you have to pair it with neutral accessories! Try complimentary or contrasting shoes or bags to create an even more colourful outfit.
