Pink Tiered Dresses And Stella McCartney Falabella Bag

Wearing two pretty pink tiered midi dresses, for two different events lately. One more formal the other more casual. Wearing my recently thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag with both dresses too, black and pink always work!


What I wore:




Earrings: silver spiral earrings
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage charm bracelet
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

It was a day threatening to storm and rain so I added little black ankle boots to this pink and red floral print Orange Sherbet tiered midi dress. I picked it up at the preloved fashion markets this year and I'm so glad I did, I love it! With the black boots, the black Stella McCartney Falabella seemed like a good matchy-matchy choice, and it also had plenty of room for my essentials, some snacks, and my camera. We had an awards ceremony to attend for my son. I'm being vague for privacy reasons, but it was a very fancy ceremony and I'm very proud of him! It was so good to see his joy as he was celebrated in front of so many people.

Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

Another pink tiered midi dress, again with my Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I love this bag as it works with everything! Wore this for a much more casual event, a kids birthday party. It was a lot of fun, but such a hot day. I was very thankful for this dress which catches the breeze so nicely, and the tiered loose style makes it comfortable in the heat. I did try dress it up a little with the matchy-matchy purple necklace and statement earrings, but still wore my comfortable Havaianas as it was just a nice relaxed party with friends. My kids kept talking about how it was the best party ever, they had a blast!


Last worn: lilac earrings, pastel necklace, pink tiered dress, Havaianas, Stella McCartney Falabella bag (above).

Printed Maxi Dresses And Suede Maxi Edie Bag

Last time I wore these two printed maxi dresses, I shared them together in a post, and I'm doing that again today! Despite both being very different prints and colours, I thrifted them both for just $1 each and find myself reaching for them so much now with the warmer spring weather in Brisbane.

Both dresses I accessorised with my Rebecca Minkoff suede Maxi Edie bag, which is a nice neutral.


What I wore:





Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Dress: thrifted JayJays white maxi dress
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede


Why I wore it:

A simple dress outfit for a hot day working from home. I had to take a little break in the afternoon to see my son get an award at school. This Rebecca Minkoff maxi Edie bag was the perfect accessory as it has plenty of room for all of my essentials and I could fit my camera in there too for photos at the ceremony.

I decided to wear it just with the big chunky chain strap, and not use the crossbody strap (which is removable). I liked the way it looked but I think maybe I shouldn't have worn a rose gold necklace with this as the two different gold tones don't really compliment each other well with the necklace and bag. I did like them both separately though, just another necklace might have looked better worn all together.


Last worn: floral print maxi dress, rose gold heart necklace, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie.

Other ways to wearfloral print maxi dress with peach accessories, Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie and stripes.






What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede


Why I wore it:

Layered up this printed maxi dress with a denim jacket for a cooler spring morning - that quickly turned into a very warm day and had me discarding the jacket! I did like the light blue denim wash with the tri colour wooden necklace and the blue Converse, but what had started out as a cool overcast day quickly warmed up and I left the jacket in the car.

I went to the opshop with the kids looking for something for them to wear for an upcoming theme day at school, and to take advantage of the 'fill a bag of books for $3' sale at the opshop. Picked up some very cute clothes for the kids and ended up with two bags full of books for them and for me. A very productive shop!

Also had to run a few errands afterwards and picked up a special treat for lunch on the way home. Again I wore the Rebecca Minkoff suede Edie bag, although I didn't need to carry too much, it just saved me swapping out bags again!

Maxi Dresses and Chloe Marcie Shoulder Bag

Wearing some pretty printed dresses for the warm spring weather recently. Despite both these maxi dresses having different prints, I accessorised them both with great neutrals, my studded sandals and my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag. Like the dresses which were opshop finds, the Chloe Marcie was a preloved find too!


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

It was such a hot day I needed something easy to wear - this light viscose maxi dress was perfect for the heat, and super comfortable! After the school run, I worked from home before picking the kids up in the afternoon and heading to a local park for a playdate.

With the bright colours in the geometric print of this maxi dress, natural accessories were needed. I went with my studded gladiator sandals that I only regretted a little, running around on the bark playground with the kids in the afternoon is not easy with open toed sandals! And of course the Chloe Marcie bag in nut goes with everything too.

With the gold in the hardware of the Chloe Marcie bag and the gold necklace, I went a little matchy-matchy with the black and gold beaded bracelet stack.


Last worn: printed maxi dress, gold circle necklace, black and gold bracelet stack, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearprinted maxi dress worn two ways, studded sandals and shorts, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and skirt.






What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Dress: thrifted JayJays white maxi dress
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus peach and gold bracelet stack
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

First wearing of this cute floral print maxi dress! I couldn't resist it when I saw it in the opshop. Like the dress above, it was just $1 as well! I again went with neutral accessories, the same gladiator sandals and nut brown Chloe Marcie bag. With the peach in the floral print of the dress though I wanted to add a little more colour to pull that out - the peach necklace and peach and gold bracelet stack were fun ways to add more colour, even if the shades of orange don't match exactly, I still enjoyed wearing it all together.

Wore this to take the kids to a very fun birthday party, and run a couple of errands afterwards.


Last worn: orange necklace, peach and gold bracelet stack, studded sandals (above), Chloe Marcie hobo bag (above). First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent opshop find.

Tiered Dresses, Denim Jacket and Red Saddle Bag

Getting my tiered dresses out again with denim jackets for spring. I wore my little Rebecca Minkoff red studded saddle bag with both outfits, despite the different colours of each dress.


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
EarringsAna Luisa 'Olivia' tassel earrings in pink
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs suede flats in red
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a family night out at church, and dinner afterwards. It was a little chilly so the denim jacket was a definitely must over this cap sleeve maxi dress. With the red and pink in the floral print, I decided to go with both pink and red accessories. Its been far too long since I last wore these red suede ballet flats, I loved wearing them again. And I thought the pink tassel earrings, although not the same shade of pink as in the print, was a nice nod to both colours in the print. With the statement earrings I felt fine without adding a necklace to this as well.

With the red shoes the red bag was a nice matchy-matchy choice. Like the shoes, its felt like its been a while since I last wore this saddle bag, and it was overdue a wear. Perfect for a family night out.

What I wore:

Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

Another tiered dress and denim jacket outfit for spring! I had the school run, working from home, and then I went to the kids award ceremony in the afternoon. This Kmart amber tiered midi dress was perfect for all those activities, it's so comfortable to wear, especially paired with sneakers like these Adidas Superstars.

Like the first outfit, I felt like wearing some pretty earrings, so went with these cute daisy ones. They aren't as statement making as the pink tassel ones I wore in the first outfit, so I felt like adding a necklace too. I've been embracing orange and red a lot so this coral necklace seemed like a good choice, especially when I went matchy-matchy with the little red saddle bag. I need to wear this rust dress with red accessories more often!

Two Ways To Layer A Colourful Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress For Winter

I bought this awesome, colourful geometric print maxi dress at the opshop for just $1. A spaghetti strap maxi dress isn't something I expect to get a lot of wear from in winter, but since spring is around the corner I know this will get worn more often. And before the weather heats up here in Brisbane, I was able to layer it up a little for the last month of winter, on some warmer days.


What I wore:


rebecca minkoff cupid satchel and geometric print maxi dress | awayfromblue


Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

We had a fun day out at Australia Zoo with the family, so I needed some comfortable sneakers for all the driving and walking. I also needed to be able to wear my knee brace to support my knee so that ruled out jeans. Decided it was the perfect time to give this maxi dress a wear! Since it was a little chilly, especially in the morning, I added this soft knit over the top. It's a bit oversized so I had to knot it to get it to sit nicely, but I loved the cobalt against the mix of colours in the print of the dress.

As always, wore my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. It is perfect for the essentials plus some snacks and water bottles that you need for a day out at the zoo with the kids.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Top: Kmart teal tank (new purchase)
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

The next opportunity I took to wear this dress was for a school run and working from home day, with a quick errand after picking up the kids in the afternoon. Again I layered over the top of this dress, with this teal tank this time, and the denim moto jacket for an extra layer of warmth as it was a chilly morning. It warmed up nicely though and when I went back to school to pick up the kids, the denim jacket was no longer needed.

With the mix of colours in the geometric print of this maxi dress, I felt the teal tank complimented all the different shades well. I thought that the blue and green in the chunky necklace tied in the colours nicely, especially when worn with the denim jacket. I really liked this outfit!


Last worn: denim jacket, chunky necklace, geometric print maxi dress (above), Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above). First time I've worn the tank as it's a recent purchase.

Pink Tiered Dresses With Navy Suede Moto Jacket

Wearing this navy suede moto jacket as a cosy topper with these pink tiered dresses to make them a little warmer for winter.


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Necklace: gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagChloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc


Why I wore it:

This was my outfit for the Barbie movie! It was so much fun, we went as a big group to the premiere at the local cinema, and I loved the movie. Of course we had to get dressed up in pink! I knew this dress would be the one I'd wear right away although I did have to wear a slip underneath and add the suede moto jacket and tall leather boots to keep me warm for the late night showing. This was a really quick outfit to get together when I got home from work before dashing out to the cinema.

I knew for the Barbie movie I'd need some fun accessories - with the big statement necklace and the statement padlock on my little Chloe Paddington bag I think they were perfect for the evening.

Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers

Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

I wore this for another morning at the local markets, selling more of my wardrobe. I ended up in a really good location under the shade, which made it a bit chilly, but meant I did manage to offload quite a few scarves, haha! I had a slip under this tiered maxi dress and I knew the suede jacket would keep me warm for the morning too. I had my comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers for all the running around setting up and then dismantling my stall.

I did make a couple purchases from some other stalls with my takings - one particularly cute pair of earrings, but I'll need to make a note of the lady's business name next time I go back as I didn't write it down unfortunately. I did have a lot of success with my stall though, always good to make more space in my wardrobe!

2 Ways to Wear: Orange Sherbet Zoe Tiered Maxi Dress in Geranium Print Pink

I picked up this beautiful Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered maxi dress at Gladrags Markets recently. It's been on frequent repeat since! The trio of friends running a stall let me try on a few of the pretty dresses that they had for sale, and it was so hard picking just one, but I'm so pleased with this. I do love a floral print dress, and the pinks and red in this dress work so well together! As it is winter I have had to do a little layering with this short sleeved dress.


What I wore:

denim jacket, cobalt Love jumbo bag with Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink and sneakers | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt | awayfromblue


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:

I love pink and blue together, so a classic indigo wash denim jacket and cobalt Rebecca Minkoff jumbo love bag seemed like the perfect accessories to try out with this dress. I love the bright cobalt blue of the bag against the red and pink geranium print on the dress. And a classic denim jacket like this goes with everything! You can see 30 ways I've worn this denim jacket here.

The Mimco bracelet stack was also a bargain find from Gladrags Markets, and I liked having a bracelet stack on each arm. Picked my comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers to wear as we had a kids birthday party at an indoor play area to enjoy that morning.

Why I wore it:

This is actually the first time I wore this dress. It was a really cold morning, with the school run and then working from home, so the perfect opportunity to wear some of the new pieces I'd picked up at Gladrags Markets that weekend. I got this coral necklace for just $2! I like the colour with the floral print on the maxi dress, even if it isn't a perfect match to the red or pink. The leather jacket was a super cosy and super cheap buy from the markets too - beautifully preloved, it's so comfortable, and I was very grateful for it and the ankle boots on this chilly day. I had a slip on under the dress as well!

White Denim Jacket With Printed Dresses, Ankle Boots And Statement Necklaces

A sunny winter weekend gave me the chance to wear some pretty floral dresses. Both dresses only needed ankle boots and my white denim jacket to make them cosy enough for spending most of our time indoors.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral


JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Red multi strand beaded statement necklace
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral


Why I wore it:

I love the way this Jaase floral and leaf print dress looks with ankle boots. It's such a pretty dress! I've worn it with denim jackets before, but this is the first time I've paired it with the white one, Given how it matches the white in the print so well, I'm surprised I haven't worn the dress and jacket together sooner!

We had a kids birthday party to attend, so I just needed my essentials which meant this little peach Rebecca Minkoff small love bag was the perfect accessory. Just like the red statement necklace, it doesn't exactly match the colours in the print of the dress, but I think the accessories complimented the print nicely. This was such a comfortable outfit for a loud and busy (but fun!) party.


Last worn: white denim jacket, red statement necklace, Jaase dresstan leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag.

Other ways to wearwhite denim jacket and maxi dress, Jaase dress and leather jacket, ankle boots and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag and matching tee.





What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede


JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink (recent purchase)
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede


Why I wore it:

Copied the outfit formula above for a busy morning, and then getting to spend some time relaxing and chatting at book club in the afternoon. While it was a warm day, I knew the denim jacket and boots would be much appreciated in the evening. It did start getting a little chilly later in the evening as we were sitting outside for book club, but that was a good sign we should probably wrap up and head home!

Just like the last time I wore this statement gold beaded necklace, I wanted to pair it with the equally chunky chain on this Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie bag. I like the combination even though the metals are not a match.

It was my first time wearing this pretty floral print maxi dress I scored from the Gladrags markets, so it made sense to wear it with some of the accessories I picked up at that market too, with the gold necklace and the Mimco bracelet stack. It's a lot of big accessories, but it was fun wearing them all together.


Last worn: white denim jacket (above), gold bib necklace, tan leather boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie crossbody bag. First time I've worn the dress and bracelet stack as they were recent purchases.

Kmart Floral Dresses and Blue Crossbody Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing some pretty Kmart floral dresses I wore for the school run, working from home, and a little time with friends.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag and coral floral dress | awayfromblue


EarringsMichael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress (worn 30+ times)
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

Hadn't worn this floral print tiered maxi dress for a while - it was definitely overdue another wear! A Kmart impulse buy a few years back after seeing it on a few local Instagrammers, I still have and love this dress. It's passed 30 wears and still going strong!

I liked the cute little blue crossbody bag and the yellow tassel necklace with this dress, even though neither of the colours match those in the print exactly, I liked how this all looked together.

Spent some time in the morning after the school drop off with my friend and her adorable daughter, before getting in a few hours of work and then picking the kids up from school in the afternoon. It was another hot autumn day so this light tiered dress was perfect in the heat.


Last worn: blue earrings, yellow tassel necklace, floral tiered maxi dress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC.

Other ways to wear floral tiered maxi dress worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC and shorts.


My Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Handbag Collection:





What I wore:

Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print

Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag with black dress | awayfromblue


Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string (new purchase)
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

Unlike the Kmart floral dress in the first outfit that I paid full price for, this one I scored on clearance and it was just $2. Much like the dress above, I'm definitely getting my money's worth from it! Picked this to wear as after the school run, working from home, and then a quick errand in the afternoon after school pick up, we went to a movie night in the park with friends. It was a warm day but I knew the long sleeves and longer length of this dress would come in helpful in the evening so that I wasn't bitten by mozzies!

This was such a good outfit - I wasn't too hot during the day and I was nicely bug bite free in the evening. The kids really enjoyed the movie and getting to eat all the snacks and sit with their friends as they watched too!

Again, the blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag doesn't match with the blue floral print on the dress, neither does the pastel blue of the necklace. I still thought all the different shades of blue looked good together though, and I didn't need to carry much with me, I had a big tote bag for our picnic rug and movie snacks!


Last worn: heart earrings, wisteria print midi dressrose gold sandals, blue mini MAC (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wearwisteria print midi dress and floral bag, rose gold sandals and shorts, blue mini MAC and printed jeans.
