Orange Tiered Dresses and Grey MAM Bag For Kids Birthday Parties

A birthday party filled weekend recently had me sticking to a very simple outfit formula. Tiered orange dresses, my tan slides, and my little grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM. I love how a dress is an easy instant outfit.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

A thankfully indoor kids birthday party as it turned into a very rainy day! This orange tiered linen dress was nice and colourful for the occasion, but not too warm in the heat. Despite the rain it was still pretty humid. I added more colour to this orange tiered linen dress with the bright tassel multi strand necklace. I liked the extra colour against the already bright orange dress.

The rest of my outfit was neutral, with the tan slides and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag which has been on frequent repeat since I got it out of my wardrobe again recently. It's a bag that goes with everything and fits everything so it's hard to swap it out for another bag sometimes!


Last worn: orange tiered linen dress, tassel necklace, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Other ways to wear: orange tiered linen dress and tote bag, tan slides and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka resin bangles in yellow and orange
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Another orange tiered dress for another kid's birthday party. This one is an older one from my wardrobe, a fun Kmart tiered midi dress I bought back in 2020. This is its 16th wear. With this mixed metal gold and silver necklace I got for Christmas, it was another easy instant outfit for a busy and loud birthday party.

Did add some chunky bracelets to make it look like I put a little effort into this outfit. The cream resin ones are ones I thrifted a while back and they look great with the orange and yellow resin bangles my bestie got me one Christmas.

Again I wore my Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag - perfect for water bottles as well as all my essentials. The party was at an indoor play area so the kids definitely needed a lot of water as they ran around with their friends.

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.
