What I wore:
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila
Why I wore it:
I wore this back in spring, before the school holidays, so it was the usual school run and working from home tasks for the day, nothing exciting. I wanted to be comfortable, and this chambray maxi skirt is perfect for that. I really like the pink tee with it too, surprisingly I haven't worn the two pieces together before, even though I've gotten over 30 wears from this maxi skirt.With the pink tee and chambray blue skirt, the floral design on this little personalised Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag seemed like the best pairing. While there isn't any pink in the roses I do love pink and blue and purple together.

Why I wore it:
Like the day above, it was another day of working from home and doing the school run. But after I picked the kids up in the afternoon it was an early dinner, a change of shoes for me (to something enclosed and better for stomping around a garden at night in) and a change of clothes for them into long pants as we went off to a science event. I knew I'd be too hot in jeans and wanted to make it easy for myself and wear the same thing all day, so this maxi skirt was perfect to keep my legs covered without overheating.There was an event being run by a local environmentalist group for a big moth count as part of Brisbane's Big Butterfly count activities. It was a lot of fun for the kids, getting to hear all about moths and have some yummy snacks, and then actually go and observe the moths (and other insects) that the light boxes had attracted.
It's not the first time I've worn this rust maxi skirt with burgundy, I liked the combination in the small amounts I've tired it in before, and this was a really fun way to be a bit bolder with it. Wasn't sure what bag to wear as I needed something big enough for torches for the evening event as well as all our water bottles - this carob brown Fran bag was roomy enough and I liked the colour of it with the burgundy and rust in the outfit.
Last worn: burgundy tee, gold circle necklace, rust maxi skirt, Havaianas (above), Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.
Other ways to wear: burgundy tee and poppy scarf, rust maxi skirt and stripes, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and shorts.
Perfect for pregnancy: Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag in second trimester.
