Here's what I wore to work on Monday:
Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace and Chanel necklace (close-up)
Top: French Connection grey tie detail top (with Asos black singlet underneath)
Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus purple bracelet made by a talented friend and purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire
Dug this top out from the back of my wardrobe, it's the first wearing of it on the blog. Be prepared to see a few more "new" items rescued from my wardrobe coming out now, have been spending a fair bit of time trying to clean my wardrobe and found lots of forgotten things tucked in a corner! I wonder just how much is still hiding in there....
I used to wear this top a lot to uni and to work when I worked in a non-public facing office role and wore jeans every day. Over 5 years ago! It's obvious now why it got less wear when I changed jobs and was no longer able to wear denim every day, not a flattering silhouette.
It prompted one lady in the office to come over and ask me if I was pregnant, so not the best outfit to wear when I'm disguising the baby bump at work. Quite comfortable though, and will see me through the next few months easily! :)
Last worn: Ray Ban, tartan pencil skirt, black flats, Balenciaga sapphire city bag. First time I've worn the top on the blog.
Linking up with Style Sessions, Spotlight Weekly Linkup today.
Here's what I wore to work today:
Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Darcy' embellished top in Winter coral
Skirt: Asos graphic print pencil skirt (maternity version here)
Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey
I thought that the sequin embellishments on this top were a nice pairing with the graphic print on the pencil skirt, and really liked the combination. Funny how much smaller the bump looks today because of the different clothes too! :)
Last worn: Ray Ban (see above), sequin detail tank, graphic print pencil skirt, glitter flats, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM.

Mica I like how you layered the silver necklaces.
ReplyDeleteANd trust me you will find things in your closet you have forgotten totally about... take it from the, the constant closet editor who always finds something .
hehe, I'm just surprised by how much I'm finding...i thought my wardrobe wasn't that untidy before, but I was wrong!
Deleteshopping our own closets are the best.... seeing new things we haven't worn in a while or have forgotten is exciting... these are great outfits! :)
ReplyDeleteFound your blog via Style Sessions link up... hope you stop by and let me know your thoughts on my outfit :)

DeleteLoving the geometric shapes in your work outfit. The skirt looks great. Nice to hear that you're rescuing items from the dark corners of your closet and giving them a chance to see the sunshine again. :)

I was going to say, oooh baby bump alert! Hehehe! Congrats again lovely, you're glowing and definitely going to be a very fashionable mummy! Love the skirt in the second image.
ReplyDeleteFashion NY's resolution? Well, be more fearless, step out of my comfort zone and probably, the most important, start treating my clothing with a little more TLC!

Absolutely loving both skirts!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with both of those skirts! I didn't try any ASOS maternity the first time around, but might have to if we try for another one. I am cleaning out my closet too, but keep setting things aside because sometimes non-maternity works well for pregnancy too!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I'm hoping I can wear as many non-maternity pieces as possible, will see how long I can go! :)
DeleteMica, you are doing so awesome with the transitioning to maternity wear. You go girl! Both outfits are nice. LOVE that first one girl. So pretty.

Thanks Kim! :)
DeleteBoth of these looks are adorable, but I'm really loving you in the bright top! So cute!
ReplyDeleteI looooove that second look! The pattern of the top is similar to that of your pencil skirt and they look so well together ^^ I don't have an Australian address unfortunately, so good luck to all other ladies entering ^^ xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Nikki :)

You're pregnant?? Holy smokes, congratulations, Mica!
ReplyDeletehaha, yes! :) Thank you :)
DeleteThat skirt is gorgeous and you are right about pairing it with the top.
ReplyDeleteMy new years resolution is to wear my favourite, special occasion clothes all the time, instead of 'saving' them. Goodbye old daggy shorts with paint stains, hello pretty dresses!
I'm jealous of your pool, but I'm sure you've been enjoying it with all the hot weather :)
Oh that is a great resolution! I need to do more of that too - wear things instead of saving them up for possible future occasions!
DeleteOMG!!! You look so amazing!! Congratulations on your little one and you are rocking maternity style mamma :) PS. I'm preggers too!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you Londyn! Massive congratulations! :D You will be one very stylish pregnant lady! :)
DeleteMy resolution is to wear more colours, other than black skirts or slacks.
ReplyDeleteGood resolution! Thanks for your entry! :)
DeleteThat's a really good resolution for the year! And very true, as long as you get something you like, the other things are just minor details :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your entry! :)
Thank you all for your kind comments - and all of the current entries into the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThe giveaway is still on for a few more days, good luck! :)
My 2014 fashion resolution is to buy myself some staple wardrobe pieces I've recently had a baby and i'm a couple of kilos away from my pre baby weight so I'd like to buy some nice comfortable colourful items to help with the day to day life with 3 precious children

Congrats on your latest addition! :) Great entry, thank you! :)
DeleteMy new year resolution isn't so much a specific goal but more trying to do the things I should be doing or the steps to take me there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your entry SJ! Do you have an email I can contact you on if you win?
DeleteMy fashion resolution for 2014 is to get dressed! I know that sounds absurd, but I have two small boys and am heavily pregnant and the days just get away from me! When I have a full day at home, sometimes I find that its lunch time or Hubby's getting home from work and I'm still not dressed! Getting out of my pjs helps me feel so much better throughout the day. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the pregnancy! And may you have some lovely PJ days with your little addition - Just not every day. :)
Thanks for your entry Sara! Do you have an email I can contact you on if you win?
DeleteMy new year fashion resolution is to be a bit more daring with colour!! I want pop this summer :)

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your pregnancy! :) You look fabulous! Love those outfits.
ReplyDeleteMy 2014 fashion resolution is to be Cinderella before midnight and not after - instead of constantly feeling like I'm dressed in rags and bumming around the house, I want to be the belle of the ball and glam it up when I go out! No more yoga pants and tank tops outside the house!!!!!
