39 Weeks Pregnant. Tank and Maxi Skirt, RM Mini MAC | Evening Wear: Zara Blazer, Printed Dress, Vintage Chanel Bag

Here's what I wore on Thursday:

Necklace: statement disc necklace
TankJeanswest Jenni basic singlet in Emerald green
SkirtTarget black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine


Don't think I've ever worn this necklace on the blog before! Another find from my wardrobe clear-outs. I found a lot of neglected jewellery hiding away. Thought that the detail would be nice with the plain tank.

Just a comfortable casual outfit as I had to run a few errands on Thursday morning. I'm using my maternity leave to tick off all of my to-do list before baby arrives, but I'm taking it slowly and spreading it all out over the week so I'm still finding plenty of time to relax too. Thought the green of the top and the blue of the aqua bag paired nicely.

After spending the day shopping with my sister today, I went out with DH to celebrate our wedding anniversary this evening. We had dinner and a movie, celebrating our last anniversary where we don't have to arrange a baby sitter ;)

You can see a little peek of what I wore during the day out shopping on instagram if you're interested. Just a plain grey tank, and black jersey maxi skirt with a striped cardi for warmth. We came across a Priceline event and got free makeovers which was nice as it meant I was really dolled up for the evening.

Took these photos before the makeover sadly! Wanted to show you what I wore out for dinner instead of just another maxi skirt and tank combo, to show that it is possible to get dressed up even at 39 weeks pregnant! Although it did take me quite some time to find something to wear this morning... Thanks to baby dropping, I had just enough breathing room to wear this empire waist non-maternity maxi dress. I had to stick with a maxi dress as my feet were too swollen to fit into any shoes, and the dress hides the thongs (flip flops) I have on underneath. As relaxed as we are in Queensland, most restaurants require you to wear something a little more substantial on your feet!


Last worn: snake print maxi dress, Havaianas (see above), vintage Chanel flap. First time I've worn the blazer as it's a recent op-shop find.

BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Wore my ninja baby tee to the OB's office on Tuesday, as I thought she would get a giggle out of it. She did, and so did the receptionist. Our next appointment is actually on baby's due date, so I wanted to take the chance to wear the tee to Tuesday's appointment in case baby shows up early. It's looking like baby wants to stay in longer than planned at the moment though, so on the plus side I'll probably have more chances to wear this fun tee :)

Incredibly similar to the last time I wore this tee, just with different accessories.

Jeans and a tee again today! Added a bright bag for a bit of colour. I love these stretchy oversized tees, I have a handful of them and they are perfect. They drape so nicely without the bump, and yet they are oversized and baggy enough to still fit the baby bump at 38 weeks.

Thought that my maternity wardrobe would look a lot like this and that I'd be wearing jeans and tees more often, based on what my wardrobe was like before pregnancy. My regular wardrobe definitely has more jeans than skirts! I've favoured maxi skirts and dresses more, maybe because of the hot temperatures. These jeans are great though, really comfortable and I've never even considered trying another brand of maternity jeans as the Jeanswest ones are perfect for me.


Jeanswest have another 40% off sale at the moment - online and in store, and it includes already reduced sale items!

Still wearing my Rebecca Minkoff swing bag! I really wanted to pair it with the purple maxi dress at least once. Thought the colours worked nicely together. It's gotten much warmer all of a sudden, despite winter being just a week away, so bright colours seemed a good outfit to wear on hot Sunday.

The purples and pinks in the scarf go so well with the dress too, looks like they were made to be paired together, don't you think?

Much more casual outfit today (although still with the same bag...) as I wanted to be comfortable out and about doing the grocery shopping I didn't get to do on Sunday as DH had a work event. Again, was warm enough to go sleeveless and not worry about adding any extra layers. Really doesn't feel like the end of Autumn!

Don't think I've ever paired orange and yellow together before - but I liked it. It was funny to come across Wilfully Elegant's latest post today where she paired the same colours together too. Must be the warm weather we are both experiencing, or the fact that great minds think alike!

Non-Maternity Clothes in Third Trimester: Dresses and Leggings and Sales!

Here's what I wore to spend the day with my sister on Friday:
Away From Blue pregnant brisbane blogger third trimester belted tunic dress leggings

Necklace: gold heart shaped necklace layered with vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Zara printed bib front tunic dress
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Leggings: Cotton On
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow


On Friday my sister and I went into the city for lunch, shopping, and to check out the Reebonz handbag sale at the Hilton. Although I fell in love with a Balenciaga tote bag (out of my budget now with baby on the way) and a Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet (vetoed by my sister as she didn't like the colour) we left the sale empty handed.

Was still a great day though. We had fun shopping after lunch, and had dinner and watched a movie in the evening. Not entirely sure why Queen Street Mall had these decorated horses, but lined up with the tourists to have my photo taken anyway. Something a little different!

This was a nice simple outfit, good for walking around all day, and the dress accommodated both the baby bump and all of the delicious food we ate! Had been wanting to try pair this tunic dress with leggings since I worried it was getting a little short in the second trimester with the bump in the way. Pleased I got a chance to give it a try in the third trimester, was much more comfortable with the leggings underneath.


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarer, printed Zara dress, gold glitter belt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff yellow Swing bag.

BagRebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow


Enjoyed the dress and leggings combo yesterday, so wore it again today for a relaxing day. Didn't need a belt though as this dress has it's own built-in belt attached :) Spent some time with the in-laws, they've picked their "grandparent names" for baby to call them. Baby will be extremely lucky and spoiled by both sets of grandparents.

It's currently the Memorial Day weekend in the US, so there are a lot of sales online. I've listed a few below, and I always keep the sales and discounts list up to date as well.


All of the above ship to Australia too. Happy shopping!

Spent Wednesday running errands and picking up a few last minute things for my hospital bag, so wore a nice casual jeans outfit. After all of the grey I've been wearing the past few days, decided to wear some colour with bright accessories. Thought that the pink scarf was a nice pairing with my yellow Rebecca Minkoff bag, because of the yellow skulls. After my ebay wardrobe clear out, I treated myself to this bag. I've had it a while, but am just getting round to wearing it now as I wanted to protect the leather before I wore it with it being such a light colour.

Had a quieter day today after running around a lot on Wednesday. Had an acupuncture appointment in the morning, which was quite relaxing. Went almost completely monochrome by wearing this gorgeous blue printed maxi dress with my denim jacket. Although the jacket covers up the beautiful lace detail on the back of the dress, it was a bit chilly so I needed a cover-up. I thought it looked okay with the yellow bag and gold sandals to break up the blue. Although I did think about wearing a blue bag and shoes for a moment! :)

Considered stopping by the shops for a browse again on my way home, but decided against it as I have a day out planned tomorrow and wanted to rest today. I think as it gets closer and closer to baby's due date, I'll be reducing my trips to the stores! I often do a lot of online shopping anyway, my favourite thing is that you can usually find a coupon code to make shopping even cheaper. I've recently been introduced to a new site, CupoNation that does all of the hard work for you and lists all the fashion coupons in one place.

37 Weeks Pregnant: Easy Autumn Maxi Skirt Outfits. Grey, Stripes, Marc Jacobs Red Ukita Bag

Here's what I wore on Monday:
third trimester grey black white stripes maxi skirt bright red bag outfit

NecklaceDogeared silver wishbone necklace
TopJeanswest 'Marion' grey textured crew neck knit (new purchase)
SkirtTarget black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster


This top is one I ordered from the Jeanswest sale a while back for 40% off, I just had to take it to the tailor to have the sleeves shortened a bit. I like it with the sleeves rolled up a little, but the original sleeves were much too long and it just created a lot of bulk.

It's a nice light knit that kept me cosy on Monday as I had a browse in the local op-shops (thrift stores). Found some great blazers. Can't button them with the baby bump in the way - I don't actually think I have anything I can button over the bump now - but they should hopefully button up after baby's arrival.


Last worn: stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ukita bag. First time I've worn the top as it's a recent purchase.

Another maxi skirt outfit! I'm starting to really see the pregnancy 'uniform' coming out now I don't have to worry about dressing professionally for work. In this last month of pregnancy, comfort wins every time.

Did try to add a bit of interest by wearing a striped top with the tweed blazer, but it's still that fitted top and maxi skirt combo I've been wearing so often. Had lunch with my mum today and attended another check-up for baby, so this was a nice comfy outfit. Didn't realise it was the inverse of yesterday's outfit (grey on the bottom, black and white stripes on top this time) until I was uploading the photos! I've been wearing a lot of grey lately. There may be more grey than blue in my wardrobe now!

37 Weeks: Belted Jersey Dress and Leggings | Scarf, Stripes and Maxi Skirt

Here's what I wore on Saturday:
jeanswest belted pixel print jersey dress with leggings third trimester 37 weeks pregnant

marc by marc jacobs ukita gold bracelet stack bangles
Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Jeanswest pixel print dress
Belt: Kmart thin black glitter belt
Leggings: Cotton On
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual plus gold bangle set
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster


Last time I wore this dress it was hiding the tiny baby bump! My third trimester belly really shortens the dress and made leggings an essential to wear underneath while we were out shopping on Saturday. And they helped to keep me warm too. They are just regular non-maternity leggings, I'm wearing them under the bump and thanks to the elastic waist they are staying put. Went with thongs (flip flops) on my feet due to swelling. Will probably continue to wear these despite the cooler Autumn weather, as they are comfortable and they fit. Got to be comfy as I count down to baby's arrival!

Found this cute little gold initial necklace when I was sorting through all of my things to make space for baby's nursery. Thought it worked well with the neckline of the dress, and with a lot of bracelets on my arm a delicate necklace seemed like a good balance. Can't even guess at the last time I wore it, I've had it since I was little, but it was a nice find. De-cluttering unearthed all kinds of gems!

Grocery shopping, doing a little more to set up the nursery and working at Church Online today. A nice relaxing Sunday. Although I'm on maternity leave from my office job, I'm continuing to volunteer at Church Online as usual as it's just an hour a week.

Added the scarf to keep me warm this morning as it was a little cold and windy. Thought that the little bits of red in the print paired nicely with the colour of my bag.

After wearing a lot of black, white and grey, I felt like some colour so I paired this cosy knit with the tartan pencil skirt and a bright bag. I really liked this bag with blue last time I wore it, so wanted to try it again.

This is quite a thick jumper so I don't wear it often, but I adore the colour every time I do. Almost a year since I last wore it, wow! Should make more of an effort to wear it over the upcoming cooler months.

Emotional day today! My last day at work for a while, I have now officially commenced my maternity leave. Just had to wear the ninja baby tee as I knew everyone would get a giggle out of it. There was a morning tea in baby's honour and I got so many lovely gifts from my colleagues. It's sad to be leaving a large project right in the middle of everything, but I'm really looking forward to getting to spend time at home with baby. The last few days at work have been really tough and it will be good to have some rest before the due date.


With the cooler weather we've been having lately, just had to share that Jeanswest have an extra 30% off sale items - including some winter knits! Ends Sunday night.

Balenciaga Black Part Time Bag. Third Trimester Print Mixing and Lots of Grey

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

TankGlassons striped tank in silver marle and white
SkirtTarget grey marle maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH


Been almost a year since I last wore this cardi! I have a little collection of cardigans although I rarely wear them. Sometimes I'd throw them in my bag to take to the office as a cover up to stay warm, but need to make more of an effort to use what I have in my wardrobe more often.

Thought that the pattern mixing was a nice touch with the striped top, and kept it simple with a matching grey skirt so everything was in the same colour family. Nice and comfortable for a doctor's visit and to work from home for the rest of the day.

More grey today. Paired a grey tee and blazer with this skirt again. It's a nice easy option for work, and I'm definitely needing comfortable and simple things to wear now I'm 37 weeks pregnant. It's crazy how fast time's flown by, and how quickly the baby bump has been reducing the size of my wearable wardrobe items! It's fun trying to dress the bump every day, even now in the third trimester. I won't be doing it for much longer :)

Maternity Dresses! Maxi Dress Baby Shower Outfit, Wrap Dress For The Office

Here's what I wore on Sunday:
away from blue Third Trimester Pregnancy Maxi Dress Baby Shower Outfit

miu miu studded bag
Necklace: gold heart shaped necklace layered with vintage gold chain
DressMEV Havana maxi dress C/O Zibibo
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle, Hermes pink clic clac
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


Had a busy Sunday! After Saturday's trip to Australia Zoo, I had another luxurious pregnancy massage booked in the morning to get rid of all of the anticipated aches and pains from all of the walking around. Then it was a spot of shopping with my sister, the baby shower at my parents, and a BBQ dinner at the in-laws.

The baby shower was really fun. Baby got so many gifts! We had put together a little registry advising people that gifts weren't necessary, and suggesting a few little things if people wanted to buy something. So many people got us things, it was really unexpected and I got a little teary opening presents.

I'd initially been against the idea of a baby shower, but warmed up to it more during the pregnancy. They aren't very common in Australia. It was such a lovely way to spend Mother's Day though, and I'm very thankful to my mum and sister who put so much effort into the party. Spending time with friends, family and with my mother and mother in law celebrating the impending arrival of their grandchild was really special. Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day too. :)


Last worn: purple maternity maxi dress, gold glitter belt, Havaianas, Miu Miu studded cammeo bag.

BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with GSH


After a busy weekend, simplicity was needed, so went with this Soon Maternity wrap dress for work again. Made getting ready easy, and was perfect for the many meetings I had.

Shocked to search the blog and find that I haven't carried this bag for 5 months - I need to get better at rotating through my handbags. It's a little tricky now that they are all stored in boxes under the bed though, bending down to get things is not the easiest manoeuvre when pregnant, haha!

Here's what I wore on Friday:

ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster


Jeans and a stripy tee for casual Friday! Not sure how much longer these non-maternity oversized tees will work for the pregnancy - felt myself tugging at the hem a little worrying it was getting a bit short. Baby is growing well! Got lots of comments from people at work wondering how I was still waddling around the office and why I haven't gone on maternity leave yet, hehe!

Tried a little bit of pattern mixing with the scarf. I was given this at Christmas, it's so pretty. Starting to get cool enough to wear it now. Had the chance to wear my new bag too - love the colour! It's called "rock lobster" and is the perfect blend of pink and red.


Last worn: oversized stripe tee, maternity skinny jeans, glitter flats. First time I've worn the bag as it's a new purchase, first time I've worn the scarf.



Here's what I wore to go to Australia Zoo today:

Had such a fun day today! We had a girl's day out at Australia Zoo for my sister's birthday. I picked a nice comfortable outfit as I knew I'd be doing a lot of walking. I don't know what pregnant ladies in colder climates do, but I'm so grateful I can fit my swollen feet into thongs (flip flops) most days.

Despite having gold hardware on my bag, I went with silver accessories as I wanted to wear my little giraffe necklace. Although not as perfect as my sister's giraffe print dress, it was fitting as we went to hand feed the giraffes which was awesome!
