The mother-of-two teamed the tiny attire with a khaki military jacket and toted a chic nylon Prada nappy bag.
Wearing her brunette tresses out in a straight style, she also donned a pair of chic black-rimmed sunglasses.
Meanwhile, Kourtney appeared to have ditched the designer duds for her daughter, dressing her instead in a simple white dress for the warm summer's day.

For the past few weeks, Kourtney and Scott have been fighting model Michael Girgenti claims that he was the father of their oldest, Mason, however after a paternity test proved Scott is the little boy's father a big weight appears to be off their shoulders.
DNA tests released last week finally proved beyond doubt that the adorable toddler’s biological father is Scott.
Kourtney and Scott have always denied the 27-year-old's claim, with their attorney describing them as 'preposterous and an outrageous lie.'

They even denied Kourtney had ever been romantically involved with Girgenti and tests released this week stated Scott was 99.99 percent the father.
Kourtney issued a statement saying: 'After three-and-a-half years of rumours and lies being spread by an individual I met briefly at a photo shoot, I am setting the record straight that Scott is Mason’s father.'
She continued: 'While it saddens me to have to address these ridiculous lies — especially when the truth was never in doubt — this story must be put to rest.'
With the drama behind them, Kourtney and Scott looked in high spirits as they celebrated Kylie Jenner’s sweet 16 birthday party over the weekend.
Kourtney helped her little sister blow out the candles on her Alice in Wonderland themed cake at the family bash on Saturday night before enjoying a smooch with Scott at the fancy dress party.
