Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Top: Jeanswest 'Jenni' basic singlet in Hawaii blue (new purchase)
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete
Saturday I was lucky enough to get squeezed into a place to do more medical tests at late notice. Lots of tests is not the best way to start the day. Brekkie at McDonalds with Mum after, and then browsing baby stores with DH in the afternoon made sure that the day ended better! Wanted to be comfortable all day, so went with a singlet and maxi skirt.
Some days I feel like all I want to wear is this combination of maxi skirt and singlet! It's great in pregnancy, I even picked up a few more bright singlets in the Jeanswest sale. But I do have to go to work and I'm trying to put in a little bit of an effort to dress professionally there. Some of the ladies in the office made it look so easy during their pregnancies! Can't promise that I won't end up in this comfy 'uniform' every day as baby's due date gets nearer, but for now I am trying to enjoy dressing the bump in different ways and mix things up a little so it doesn't get too repetitive. :)
Last worn: black maxi skirt, thongs, Balenciaga tempete day bag. First time I've worn the top as it's a recent purchase.
Here's what I wore today:
Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
Dress: Three Dots stripe maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga coated stud wrap bracelet in icy blue
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete
Today's outfit was completely inspired by Londyn! My planned second day in a row maxi and singlet combo was put aside after she posted some pics of her rocking a striped dress and her adorable baby bump. I wanted to try and emulate her look. This is a similar dress I picked out, but I think it lacks the classy look of her outfit. Maybe I should have tried a belt? Was comfortable for a day of running errands and working at Church Online though.
Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarers, stripe maxi dress, Havaianas, Balenciaga tempete day bag (see above).
Linking up with Sunday Style, Mix it Mondays, Manic Monday, Style Sessions today.
Looking fab! I reckon adopt a bit of a uniform...the maxi and nice long t top is a lovely look on you, you are fresh faced and gorgeous! Go through a few old piles of accessories and put them to use! Save the $ for later! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Flora! :) I am definitely a fan of saving pennies on maternity wear and getting as much wear out of my regular clothes as possible....even if it does mean the last few months will be full of maxi skirts, hehe!
DeleteAmazing bag! And there's nothing more comfy than a good pair of Havaiana's hey? ;) Visit me sometime :)

DeletePretty as always and so well accessorized. How do you find HOH's necklace? I wanted to get it but fear that the chain is too fragile..

The chain is thin, but definitely not fragile at all, I'm always pulling and tugging at it when I wear it, with no issues so far! :)
DeleteLovely second dress!

You just look adorable, Mica! I love the striped dress.
ReplyDeleteLove the maxis and--of course--that lovely handbag! :) T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI say YES to maxi dresses every single day lol You can alternate some crochet tops to cover the top section that way it gives a sense of different outfit and covers your arms up while in the AC office.
ReplyDeleteHehe I'm not long away from doing that! Will see how I go!
DeleteHello to your growing bump!! And another hello to that absolutely awesome stripped maxi!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore how your pup is always your little "wingman" in your outfits - how well-behaved and adorable!
ReplyDeleteHe's too cute with his little puppy dog eyes when I go to step outside for photos, have to bring him along! :D
Deletetotally get you wanting to be comfy! and really no one will blame you for wanting to be :) this weather has been making me feel really lazy too, all i want to do is laze about in trackies :O

I have a few pairs stockpiled for winter that I bought in the second trimester and I'm hoping are stretchy enough....haha. I will be all for comfort near the end I know it!
DeleteGoodness, that hot pink striped maxi dress in the second look is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteHaha, and if I ever get pregnant, I'm positive that I will be living in maxi dresses/skirts!
The Dragonfruit Diaries
They are the best piece of pregnancy fashion advice I've received - as they are usually flowy, stretchy, or both! :D
DeleteI love both these maxi outfits! So pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI trying to think of pregnancy fashion advice for you but I just can't!! Thinking back on it all my friends who have been pregnant wore maxi skirts and singlets (it seems like you've joined the club :) ) and at my work we wear a uniform.
ReplyDeleteI adore your bracelet and bag combo! It's so sweet :)
Oh some days I wish we had a work uniform, haha! But yep, definitely one of the maxi skirt and singlet brigade. Just trying to find alternatives to wear to the office now....although they are creeping into casual Friday rotation quickly!
DeleteI think your maxi dress outfit is really cute!
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely doll, love the maxi dresses, so relaxing and easy on a growing bump too!! Radiant xx
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! I gave birth on July 2013 and also loved wearing maxi dresses!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this beautiful period:)

I would probably go the super lazy route and just wear cute dresses every day, haha. I love that you're dressing super cute all the time. That second dress looks amazing :)

I'm a little wary with dresses due to the shortening affect of the bump, haha! :) Have been keeping them in mind though :)
DeleteYou are rocking the maxis! Just love the stripes and how they accent your baby belly!

they are a great comfortable option! :)
DeleteGah, you have the best bags and accessories! I like your go-to maternity outfit. It manages to be comfortable and stylish, which is no small task at the end of pregnancy! I also learned a new word today from you: "singlet." I didn't realize we had a different word for that in the States. -Gina

Thank you :) It feels more casual than put together to wear, so I'm glad it gives off the vibe that I have it all together, haha! :)
DeleteThat blue looks absolutely amazing on you Mica! I love that necklace too. It's an easy outfit that looks stylish. You should definitely wear it more (or similar). That's a sassy maxi dress. Looks awesome on you girl. You rock it!
