Tiered Linen Dresses And Cobalt Jumbo Love Bag

Two colourful, tiered linen dresses worn with my cobalt Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag for a pop of colour.


What I wore:




Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus silver and turquoise bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:

This is such a comfortable dress! I love the bright papaya colour, it makes a beautiful statement on its own. I decided to add some blue with it this time when I wore it. The navy tassel necklace and silver and turquoise bracelet stacks are both different shades from the cobalt jumbo Love bag, but I think all the shades of blue worked well with the brightness of this dress.

The cobalt Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo love bag was a practical choice too! I had the school run, working from home, and then an appointment for my son in the afternoon. The jumbo Love bag meant I could easily bring a book along to read while waiting at the appointment.

BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:


More blue accessories with a bright citrus-y tiered dress! This orange linen dress is one my mum got me for Christmas and just like the more yellowish one above, I like wearing this orange dress with blue. Again, the necklace and bag are different shades of blue and not an exact match, but I liked the two together against the orange dress.

Unlike the first outfit, I wore this on a bit of a wet day so I wore my Adidas Superstar sneakers again. I liked the closed in shoes to keep my feet dry in the rain, although thankfully it did clear up a little later in the morning. I had the school run, working from home, and an appointment for my son so had a little bit of driving to do and comfortable sneakers were much needed for that.


Last worn: orange tiered linen dress, navy lozenge necklace, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff cobalt Jumbo Love bag (above).

Blue And Green Shorts Tee Duster Outfits

I really like wearing blue and green together! I definitely don't agree with the "blue and green should never be seen" saying! Both these shorts and tee outfits feature different shades of blue and green together.


What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! We headed out to join in a science walk for Brisbane's Big Butterfly Count. The kids had a great time running around with their nets catching and identifying a bunch of different insects. We caught a few dragonflies along with the butterflies, and it was so interesting learning about them from the entomologist that joined us. Although I'm sure that we double caught some butterflies a few times, as the kids kept running backwards and forwards and as soon as one was released someone else was on its tail!

Needed a good practical outfit for a bush walk on a warm day, shorts and tee and sneakers were perfect. This black tee and denim Bermuda shorts felt a bit plain, even with the yellow necklace adding a little colour. So I added the green floral duster on top. Good for extra sun coverage and a little more colour. The cobalt Rebecca Minkoff Julian bag really pops against the green duster, and it was a good size for carrying all our water bottles.


Last worn: green floral duster, black textured tee, yellow necklace, Bermuda denim shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

I had a shorter work day, just working from home, because as well as the school run I had an appointment in the afternoon. Even had time for a super quick browse of my local opshop before picking up the kids.

Just like in the outfit above, I wanted to be comfortable. I haven't worn these olive embroidered shorts for a while but they are such a great piece as olive goes with so much. I really liked the navy tee with them, and then I added more green and blue with the brighter palm print cover up. I added yet another shade of blue with the electric blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag also. I liked all these different shades of blue and green together.


Last worn: palm print cover up, heart charm necklace, navy tee, olive embroidered shorts, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff electric blue 5 zip bag.
