Neutral Tees and Grey MAM Bag With Colourful Maxi Skirts

Wore a couple colourful maxi skirts recently for working from home days with brief outfits. Both outfits worn with my neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag, that is still going strong even though I bought it nearly 11 years ago. The perfect go with everything bag that fits all the essentials plus more.

What I wore:

Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wanted something that was both comfortable and colourful, as while I was working from home I had some time in my afternoon to go cheer my son on at his sports day. I figured I'd be easy to spot in the side lines in this bright tie dye maxi skirt! Did keep the rest of my outfit simple and neutral though, with this grey marle tee and then a little matchy-matchy with this grey and blue clay beaded necklace. I thought the Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag was a good accessory to fit in a water bottle for me as I cheered on the side lines, as well as my camera for taking some good photos.

Unfortunately, forgot the camera in my haste to get out the door for sports day in the small gap I had between meetings, but at least I was able to be there in person even if I couldn't get any good photos.


Last worn: grey marle tee, beaded statement necklace, tie dye maxi skirt, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Other ways to wear: grey marle tee and shorts, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, tan slides and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Again I wore my neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM as I had to carry a few extra things on this day. Although with the black tee, a black bag probably would have worked better, I just wanted to wear this bag again. It fit all the essentials plus my latest book, as I had to pick up my son early from school for an appointment and I like to read in waiting rooms.

It's not the first time I've worn this ochre maxi skirt with a black tee, I like the simplicity of a classic neutral against the colourful orange skirt. I added a little more colour with the yellow necklace too.

Again I went with my tan slides that I have been wearing non stop since getting for Christmas! Perfect for the work from home / school run days when I'm not doing a lot of walking.

Belted Printed Dresses With Converse and Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Getting two pretty printed dresses out again that hadn't been worn in a while. While both are very different in style, colour and print, they both work so well for a day in the office. And my little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag compliments each of them nicely!

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Aztec print dress
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I'm not sure why I haven't hit 30 wears with this dress yet - it was such an office staple pre-pandemic! It's been a little neglected lately so it was good to get it out again. Despite the darker navy and black in the print, I thought the light blue Converse would be a good accessory with it and I liked the combination. Dressed this up a little with some gold accessories - the pretty glitter belt always gets compliments! And much like the dress, this statement necklace hasn't been worn in a while either and was overdue another wear. Was good to get them both out again!

I did have a lunch date in the city during the work day, but still didn't need to carry much, especially as I have a big work issued laptop bag I take to the office with me. So this little Polene Numero Neuf mini bag was all I needed for carrying the essentials. And I really like the pastel lilac against the navy of the ikat print on the dress.


Last worn: ikat print dress, gold 5 station necklace, gold glitter belt, blue Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: ikat print dress and scarf, blue Converse and midi skirt, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and leopard print.

Perfect for pregnancy: Ikat print dress in third trimester, gold glitter belt over a baby bump.

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: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Another printed dress for the office. This one comes with it's own long sash belt in the same fabric as the dress, but I did really like the glitter belt with the dress above so maybe I should have tried the glitter belt with this dress too! Something to remember for next time I wear it. The pink resin earrings are something I've worn with this dress in the past, as are the black Converse which go with everything.

I like pink and blue and purple together, so with the light pink and blue in the wisteria floral print of the dress the little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag again seemed like a great accessory. And I loved the dress and bag together, one of those perfect combinations! Like the earrings and Converse, I'm going to have to wear this bag again with this dress in future!


Last worn: pink resin earrings, Tiffany necklace, Kmart wisteria print midi dress, black Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Kmart wisteria print midi dress and floral bag, black Converse and pencil skirt, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.
