Camis and Maxi Skirts With Chloe Marcie Bag

Two maxi skirt outfits I recently wore for a couple of different days. Both outfits feature pre-loved pieces, with lucky opshop finds and this Chloe Marcie I scored preloved on eBay last year.


What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! We had a birthday party at an indoor play area to attend, and it was such a hot and humid day I was glad we were just going from one aircon at home to the aircon at the party! Still wore some nice light pieces, with this thrifted ochre maxi skirt complimenting the blue of this chambray cami perfectly. It was good to finally get a photo without covering up the straps on this cami too, I really like the cute tie detail, even if one of the bows I tied kept coming undone every time I shoved the Marcie bag on my shoulder!

Needed the big Chloe Marcie bag for the kids water bottles though, there were so active for the whole party and needed a lot of water, especially as the aircon wasn't working properly at the venue. Or maybe the day was just too hot for it. I was glad I hadn't added an extra layer over my shoulders with this outfit!

I really liked the matchy-matchy of the accessories with the turquoise and gold statement earrings and the beaded necklace together, I'm going to have to repeat this combination of accessories again!

What I wore:



Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Top: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Another hot and humid day, so again a simple cami and a maxi skirt. This maxi skirt has some lovely slits up the side that allowed for the breeze to cool me down a bit on the school run, which was much appreciated.

The pinks in the cami top and the floral print of the maxi skirt are quite different. I thought that they still worked together though, especially with the blue beaded necklace matching the different blues in the print nicely.

Again I had my big Chloe Marcie shoulder bag. It was a standard weekday with the school drop off, and working from home for me before school pickup in the afternoon, but we also had an appointment for my son in the afternoon so I needed a big bag to carry his water bottle around for that too.

Navy and Green Office Outfits | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two more office outfits I wore recently for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Both are green and blue with skirts that add a little bit of interest, accessorised with my periwinkle blue Chloe small Paraty bag that goes with everything.


What I wore:

navy tee with daisy print green floral midi skirt converse chloe paraty outfit | awayfromblue

green floral midi skirt with Chloe periwinkle small Paraty  in crook of arm | awayfromblue


Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty 


Why I wore it:

I got the idea from this outfit from a colleague in the office, who looked amazing in her peach midi slip skirt. I did feel a little self conscious in this though. While it's a modest midi length, the side slit is quite high and I kept fussing with the skirt all day wondering if it was too high-cut for the office.

Issue with the side slit aside, I really liked this outfit. The navy tee was perfect with this skirt, and I didn't wear a blazer as I wanted to show off the cute frill sleeves. Converse because they are the unofficial shoe of choice in the office nowadays!

While the periwinkle blue of the Chloe Paraty bag doesn't match the navy tee, I liked the extra shade of blue it added to this outfit with the tee and the blue Converse.




What I wore:

jacquard pencil skirt and Chloe periwinkle small Paraty  | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
SkirtWarehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty 


Why I wore it:

Another skirt and Converse outfit, and again with the green and blue. This jacquard pencil skirt is a slightly warmer one being a thicker fabric, which I needed for spending the day working in our coldest office. The blazer I just wore for these photos and to combat the freezing aircon in the office, as it was such a hot and humid day. This spaghetti strap cami and pencil skirt felt much too hot for the heat outside, even without the blazer, but I enjoyed being layered up with the blazer at my desk.

I really liked this mint cami with the navy blazer and skirt. I scored the blazer at the opshop last year knowing I'd be in the office a little more this year, it's turning out to be a really good buy!

As above, while the Chloe periwinkle Paraty doesn't match I think it compliments the darker shades of blue in this outfit nicely.


Last worn: navy blazer, beaded necklace, mint cami, jacquard pencil skirt, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty (above).
