Blue and Pink Floral Dresses With Purple Chloe Paraty Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing one of my favourite colour trios of blue, pink and purple together for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Braving the current Brisbane heatwave in some pretty floral print dresses, nice and light for the hot and humid days, and accessorising with the purple Chloe Paraty bag I got for Christmas.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

First day of school! After what seemed like a very short summer break, it was back to school for the kids. I was a bit emotional, as they were staring their new grades, but they were just so happy to be back with all their friends and catch up with those we hadn't had the chance to have playdates with over the holidays.

After school drop off, I had a quick errand to run before working from home, and then back to pick up the kids in the afternoon before taking them out for a little treat for completing the first day of school for the year.

I really like pink and purple together, so was eager to try this pretty purple Paraty bag with this black dress, with the pink and blue floral print. I really liked the combination, and I appreciated this light dress on such a hot and humid day. It felt like it was constantly going to storm all day, but the rain didn't break until later that evening.


Last worn: resin earrings, silver Tiffany necklace, Kmart wisteria print dress, studded sandals, Chloe small purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart wisteria print dress and floral bag, studded sandals and maxi skirt, Chloe small purple Paraty bag with shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

Chloe Paraty Christmas Reveal

---

What I wore:

Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was another hot day - much too hot to wear anything more than a simple dress for the school run, and spend the day working from home and enjoying the aircon while doing so! We had planned to complete a couple of errands after I picked the kids up from school, but we decided to skip it and complete them the next day, so we could just relax in the cool air at home.

As this is a spaghetti strap sundress I usually try cover up my shoulders when I wear this dress, to add some physical sunblock. But with the heat and humidity - and us avoiding spending too much time outside, I was not going to tolerate any layering. Except the little bit of necklace layering I tried. Thank goodness for light tiered dresses like this in heatwaves, instant outfit!


Last worn: Kmart tiered sundress, coin necklace, stone pendant necklace, Havaianas, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Kmart tiered sundress and denim jacket, Chloe purple Paraty bag and shorts and tee.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue, pink, and purple are a wonderful trio when worn together. If you're unsure about wearing three colours in one outfit, use an accessory to give you that third colour, as I have here with the purple Chloe Paraty bag.

Kmart Orange Linen With Blue Tees, Statement Necklaces, and LV Neverfull Tote

Two fun orange and blue outfits, both featuring the Kmart linen blend pieces I picked up at the opshop back in December, with my big practical Lous Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace

Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit but it was not the best day! Another hot summer day called for an easy shorts and tee outfit, and these linen blend Kmart paperbag waist shorts are great in the heat.

I tucked in this navy tee so it would show off the waist detail on the pants, but still felt this outfit was missing a little something. The turquoise necklace doesn't match anything in the outfit but I felt it was the perfect accessory with this! Simple for tackling a few more back to school errands off the list - the Louis Vuitton Neverfull had water bottles and snacks inside to keep the kids happy while we got everything done.

We did have a productive day and got everything we needed for the upcoming school year, but I was also attacked and bitten very badly by an escaped dog in the afternoon so that made for a very bad day! A little hobbling around for a bit and some nasty bruises for a couple weeks, but all good now thankfully.


Last worn: navy tee, turquoise multi strand necklace, Kmart Linen shorts, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: navy tee and maxi skirt, Kmart Linen shorts at the beach, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

Louis Vuitton Neverfull Wear & Tear After 7 Years:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted orange bead statement necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! It was super hot, but our friends house we were going to for lunch had a pool, so we got to take advantage of the beautiful weather without overheating! I'd usually just throw on a dress for over my bikini for a pool day but wanted to give this linen skirt I'd thrifted another wear - and it being linen, was so light and perfect for a hot day. 

Like in the first outfit, I wasn't too sure if this orange necklace would work, it's a very different shade from the deep rust of the skirt, but I think it added a nice pop of brightness to my outfit. And I didn't have to worry about it if it got splashed by the side of the pool!


Last worn: washed blue tee, thrifted orange necklace, linen button down skirt, Havaianas (above), Louis Vuitton Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: washed blue tee and maxi skirt, linen button down skirt with stripes, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 times.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull in third trimester.
