Oversized Tees. Maternity Shorts, RM Mini MAC, Skull Scarf | Asos Graphic Print Pencil Skirt, MbMJ Fran Bag

Here's what I wore on Sunday:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: Marc by Marc Jacobs blossom pocket tee in grey
Shorts: Jeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


Funny weather on Sunday - I had my scarf off and on all day as the rain came in now and then to cool things down. Picked a simple shorts and tee outfit as we had a dog trainer helping us with Cooper, to make sure that he is prepared when baby arrives. I wasn't sure how active we would be, so shorts seemed like a good choice. It's going to be a bit of a shock for Cooper when we arrive home with baby, so we want to make the transition go smoothly for him so he doesn't feel left out.


Last worn: red skull scarf, Marc By Marc Jacobs tee, maternity denim shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff canvas mini MAC.

Oversized tee and pencil skirt combination again today! As I get further into the third trimester and baby grows larger, I'm more and more amazed by the ladies at work who managed to stay stylish and professional through their pregnancies. They made it all look very easy! I certainly felt under-dressed when I checked my calendar at work the morning and realised I had a huge meeting in the afternoon.

In my current project at work there are 3 pregnant ladies, and one of the guys is expecting his second child with his partner. While it's funny that this project seems to be the "baby" project, it's great that we can all share tips and advice with each other as first time mums. It is definitely baby year in the office, there are 3 other babies due in the wider team as well!

Marc By Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo and Purple! Casual Friday Maternity Top and Jeans, MEV Havana Maxi Dress

Here's what I wore to work on Friday:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
Necklace: Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Felicity' maternity shirt in amethyst
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Hobo in blush pink with silver hardware


Lots more rain and cooler weather on Friday, so I got to bring out one of my scarves that has been packed away for a while. I thought the pink skull print looked really nice with the purple top and peachy bag.

Last time I wore this top, I paired it with a pencil skirt and it really didn't look great. Just too shapeless and long. I much prefer it with the skinny jeans, doesn't seem to overwhelm me as much. What do you think?


Last worn: Alexander McQueen skull scarf, amethyst maternity shirt, maternity skinny jeans, two tone flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier hobo bag.

Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs

After the cooler weather the past few days, the heat was back in time for the weekend! Still looking longingly at my scarves each day...haha! After moving them out of baby's room they are hanging up in the wardrobe in the bedroom and I see them every day as I wait for autumn weather to kick in. Had been planning to wear another one of my many scarves and even my boots today, but was nicely surprised with some sunshine and warmth.

Went with a simple maxi dress outfit due to the heat, with only a few accessories due to the humidity. Spent the afternoon in the city, did some shopping and watched my friend take part in a Salsa dance flash mob. Something a little different from the usual! Was a fun afternoon.

Third Trimester Baby Bump Dressing: Wrap Dresses and Rebecca Minkoff Grey MAM Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

Necklace:  custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


I know I just wore this dress last week, but it's such a great office option for the third trimester I couldn't pass by wearing it again so soon! Wearing the same accessories as I did the day before, made it a nice 'no thinking required' option for getting dressed :) Could have added a bit of interest with a colourful bag or shoes, but thought the monochrome grey worked okay. What do you think?


Last worn: maternity wrap dress, studded mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Dress: Leona Edmiston Paris tassel print wrap dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Today I thought I'd try a wrap dress again, this time one of my non-maternity ones. Definitely wasn't as comfortable with the bump as the maternity wrap dress Although it is a pretty dress and a lovely print I found myself fussing and trying to readjust it over the bump all day. Wardrobe options really do decline in the third trimester! It's nice seeing how well baby is growing though. And the extra colour from the print was nice after yesterday's monochrome outfit.
Indoor photos as it was pouring with rain all day - hopefully the cooler weather is here to stay, as it hasn't felt much like Autumn recently.


Last worn: Leona Edmiston wrap dress, Wittner black flats, Rebecca Minkoff grey mini MAB (see above).

Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and MAB Bags. Singlet and Maxi Skirt, Studded LBD and Asos Fluro Blazer

Here's what I wore to work from home on Monday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Jenni' singlet in indigo blue (new purchase)
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


This wasn't the outfit I had planned to wear on Monday. As I was working from home I was going to just wear a simple dress, this French Connection one. I last wore it when I was still hiding the tiny baby bump, using the tie waist and print to disguise it. Baby is much bigger now, and as a result the dress is much too short, haha! Ended up in my default singlet and maxi skirt outfit instead. This singlet is one I bought in the last Jeanswest sale a couple of weeks ago, only getting around to wearing it now.


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarers, stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC. First time I've worn the tank as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Dress: Target black belted stud detail dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Haven't worn this dress for a while! Found it in my wardrobe when I was hunting for a nice easy dress to wear to work today. Thankfully it was not too short with the baby bump, haha! Pleased to still be getting use out of my regular wardrobe in the third trimester, and hoping it continues.
As it was a little cooler with the rain, added the cardigan to keep warm. I think the neon orange was nice against the black dress too :) Please excuse the water droplets on the MAM - they dried up fine, but I brushed against a tree on my way to take photos and my bag got a little wet.

Mulberry Alexa Bag Again. Belted Cotton Dress, Jeanswest Tank, Grey Maxi Skirt and Havaianas

Here's what I wore on Saturday for shopping and dinner:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Vero Moda belted cotton dress
Belt: Louis Vuitton "comete" bandeau scarf worn as a belt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey


Had quite a busy Saturday! Spent the morning with my family. We had lunch and did some shopping, of course we ended up at a baby store. Baby has so many nice new things now, very spoiled already! So pleased that we are ticking off all of the essentials off the list. In the evening we went over to the in-laws for dinner.

Thought this dress would be nice enough for both events, and the scarf as a belt for a dress has been something I've been wanting to do again for a while after seeing Cecylia's post. When my mum came over I'd been running around trying to tidy a little, so I'd taken the scarf off. When I put it on before we headed out, she said she preferred the dress without the belt. I still belted it anyway, I thought it looked better that way. What do you think? With or without the belt?


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, brown cotton dress, Louis Vuitton bandeau as belt, Havaianas, Mulberry Alexa satchel.

More baby shopping today! Went with my mother in law this time, Babies R Us have a big sale on so we stopped by to check it out. Baby ended up with even more goodies! :)

This grey maxi skirt is the other one I bought at Target last weekend. I am really loving maxi skirts even more than I did before pregnancy, I think I've almost doubled the number I own! Thought the plain grey would be nice with the bright top. And my Mulberry Alexa bag yet again, as I've been too lazy to change out bags recently.

Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black mouse flats patent leather

Bracelets: the usual plus pastel friendship bracelet C/O Seri Marea Jewellery

Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

This oversized tee is the other one from my order last week. So pleased with how comfy these tees are, and how well they fit the bump. Don't even care that it makes it the third version of this top that I own, as they are all different colours. ;)

I felt great all day in this outfit. Lucky to work in an office where I can pair tees and pencil skirts and still meet the dress codes. Added a bit of colour with my Mulberry Alexa bag to avoid wearing too much black.

Last worn: Ray-ban Wayfarers, Asos tartan maternity skirt, patent mouse flats, Mulberry Alexa bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

A few degrees cooler today so I brought out my maternity jeans again for casual Friday. :) Picked up this Asos top a while ago for a bargain in one of their sales. The only downside is that, like most maternity tops, it's a bit long on my short frame. I've only worn it once before, in my little pregnancy announcement video, when I could tuck it into the maxi skirt. Although it was really cheap, I should probably try to get more than one wear out of it, so decided to wear it again today. I find that there are some maternity tops I can only really wear with skinny jeans, as they are too long with skirts and I'm past the stage where I can comfortably tuck things in that the waist, haha. It's why I'm trying to wear my normal tops as much as possible.

If you haven't already seen, the Rebecca Minkoff Friends and Family sale is on now! 25% off everything, including sale items, with code 'RMFAM'.

If we didn't have more baby things to buy, I'd definitely be picking up something in the sale! There are so many cute bags :)

Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag, Third Trimester Dresses for Pregnancy: Soon Maternity and Pink Blush Maternity

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Necklace: sterling silver monogram necklace C/O MyNameNecklace.com.au
Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Had a big meeting Tuesday, so simple yet professional in a wrap dress. This dress is another ebay maternity wear purchase. I actually won the auction a while ago, but forgot to pay the seller right away and then the seller took a while to ship it. Unlike my last purchase, the dress was the stated size and in the stated condition, so I'm really happy with it! Again, such a bargain compared to the retail price. Feel like I'll get a lot of use out of this in my last few months of pregnancy too.

Hopefully I don't need to expand my collection of maternity clothes any further - getting difficult to see the value in maternity-specific things when I'm in the third trimester! The bump is growing though and I'm surprised how quickly I've outgrown things I was sure I'd get more wear out of. Dressing in pregnancy is always a learning experience!


Last worn: black flats, Chloe Marcie Hobo bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
Bag: Chloe Marcie hobo bag in Nut


Sticking with the easy option - another maternity dress today! I liked how simple yesterday's outfit was, so went for a dress again. A little sad that these flats are starting to pinch a bit though - they are usually such comfortable shoes! Even had to put a band aid on one of my heels today. I'm blaming the heat and maybe a little bit of pregnancy swelling, haha.

Top: Jeanswest 'Kate' grey panel tank
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine


The summer heat has come back for another go it seems! Was really warm on Sunday. I decided yet again to wear another maxi skirt. This is one of the ones I bought at Target the other day. Definitely starting to develop a bit of a pregnancy uniform here....always liked maxi skirts pre-pregnancy so I guess it's not much of a surprise I'm wearing them so much now. They are the only non-maternity options for my bottom half that still fit due to the stretchy waists, haha!  It's interesting, right now skirts seem to be wining, but I wonder if I'll end up back in (maternity) jeans more often when the weather starts to cool.

Saint Patrick's day today so I used that as inspiration to find something to wear. Although I'm not sure if the khaki green top pairs quite well with the teal Rocco bag, they both fit so I was happy! :) I do prefer the fit of the tee without a baby bump though!

Will probably be packing the Rocco away for a while - much too heavy for me at the moment when I'm carrying baby too, got a bit of a sore back this evening.

Third Trimester Casual Maxi Skirt Outfits for the Baby Bump: Stripe Tee, RM MAM | Ombre, LV Neverfull

Here's what I wore for casual Friday:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee (new purchase)
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Nine West silver strap sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle, Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Being in my third trimester, I've been finding a few clothes that fit me in the earlier trimesters definitely don't fit me any longer, as baby is growing so well! I still can't quite kick the habit of browsing through online clothing sales when I get email notifications though ;)

Earlier in the week I came across this oversized stripe tee on The Iconic. I have another Atmos&here oversized tee, and I love it. I last wore it to hide my growing belly, but it still fits the bump. When I saw it came in a striped version, I just had to get it, and I picked one up in black too....haha! Resulted in a very casual outfit for casual Friday at work. Some days I'm so grateful for the very relaxed dress code we have in the office, makes getting dressed easy.

Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle, Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Had a bit of a busy Saturday! Spent the morning with DH shopping in baby stores, went car shopping, took a test drive, had lunch and then I went shopping with Mum for some maternity essentials. I ended up picking up two new maxi skirts from Target too. You can probably tell that I've been in a very maxi skirt mood lately, so it was easy to justify the purchases. Plus the stretchy elastic waists and fabric mean I can buy my pre-pregnancy size and still accommodate the bump!

This maxi skirt has a small elasticated section on the back, but as it's so long I need to wear it high enough over the bump that it's all it needs. Thought that this red singlet would be quite complimentary with it. It certainly got a lot of lovely comments on instagram. :) Felt very colourful and summery all day.

Rebecca Minkoff Grey Mini MAB, Lace. Jeanswest LBD, MEV Blue Bubble Tank, Asos Pencil Skirt

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

Necklace: Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Gisele' contrast lace dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


After Monday's too long top and Tuesday's too short top frustrating me a little, I went with a simple dress today. It got lots of compliments, as it is a very pretty dress. Even got told in one of my meetings that I looked cute which really made me smile :) Unfortunately, as it's a standard dress and not a maternity dress, I did feel myself tugging it back down as the elastic waistband rode up over the bump through the day, haha. Maybe a belt would have helped it stay in place better.


Last worn: black lace dress, Wittner black flats, Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


More lace! Wanting to feel feminine and pretty and so I've been going for lace it seems. This skirt is starting to be stretched beyond it's comfort zone now, although I'm hoping I can still get a few more wears out of it before baby arrives. For a non-maternity piece, it's made it through into the third trimester with me which is great. I had a lady come up to me at work today and ask how I was still managing to squeeze into this skirt with the baby belly - she was surprised the skirt had an elastic waist as she'd always assumed it was a normal zipper like most pencil skirts. All my zipper/button up pencil skirts are definitely unwearable now though!

With flowy/oversized tops, dresses and elasticated waist skirts, I'm pleased I'm managing to keep using my regular wardrobe as much as possible during pregnancy. Means spending less money on maternity clothes and more money on cute baby clothes ;)

Balenciaga Sapphire Purple City, Maternity Pencil Skirts, Marc By Marc Jacobs Mouse Flats

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Necklace: House of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold
Top: Jeanswest 'Felicity' maternity shirt in amethyst (new purchase)
Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


This top is another one of the new things I purchased in the Jeanswest 40% off sale the other week. They had just released a nursing range and then had 40% off everything...I was powerless to resist! When the parcel arrived on Friday, I loved this top right away. It looked great with the skinny jeans I was wearing when I tried it on.

It doesn't really work with the pencil skirt though, does it? Much too long. I have that problem with a few of my maternity tops, I am petite so the extra length they add to the maternity clothes to accommodate a growing bump can swamp me a little. And I don't want to run round belting everything. Might need to pair this top with pants next time, as it's really comfortable and colourful so I want to keep it.


Last worn: Asos tartan pencil skirt, metallic gold mouse flats, Balenciaga sapphire city bag.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Skirt: Soon Maternity Flora fold pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black mouse flats patent leather
Bracelets: the usual plus purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet, Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


Very similar outfit to yesterday's - feeling uninspired! It was pouring rain this morning during the 5 minutes I have for photos, so indoor photos again. It cleared up and got much warmer almost right away.

Not sure how long I've had this top for exactly, but I probably bought it around the same time I got my other Cotton On top. So pleased that my clothes hoarding means I've kept a lot of my clothes from my flowy top phase a few years ago, they are just the thing for the growing baby bump!

Although this top I maybe can't wear again during the pregnancy. It is just a normal top and I don't quite think it can handle the third trimester bump, it felt a little short today as the bump made it ride up. Monday's top was too long, today's too short....still learning how best to dress baby and I! Feel free to leave me tips and tricks if you've been through this, your advice and comments are always appreciated :)


Last worn: white Supre singlet, Soon maternity pencil skirt, patent mouse flats, Balenciaga sapphire city (see above). First time I've worn the top on the blog.
