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:
Top: Cotton On grey empire tie print top (with white Supre singlet underneath)
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.
Linking up with What I wore Wednesday, Spotlight Weekly Linkup today.

I'm loving how Cooper is looking up at you in that first set of pics Mica. LOL I bet tops can be challenging as you progress in your pregnancy. Your body is every changing. I think you look nice in both. I think that's a great idea trying pants with the purple top. You just have to try and see how it looks.

Thanks Kim! it is definitely interesting trying to find things to wear with baby growing every day :) Such a fun challenge to have! :)
DeleteLoving the pencil skirts (especially that first one)! I am so glad to see that maternity clothes are so fashionable these days (they were not long ago when my boys were born). Of course, another lovely bag and in purple--love it! T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com

I really like the purple top from your first picture, although it is a tad long. Like you said, it'd be nice to see it paired with a pair of pants! Great styling with the mouse flats and your fabulous bag collection!

Will definitely wear it with pants next time! :)
DeleteHow about trying some richer jewel tone tops? I get you will look great in emerald green and wine red colour (no patterned or flora just solid colours). Then you can pair a black or dark grey coloured maxi skirt on the bottom. Wear cute stand out clogs for comfort and viola, cute outfit ❤️
ReplyDeleteSolid coloured tops and maxi skirts is becoming a little like my pregnancy uniform! haha! Although I am trying to stay away from them in the office.
DeleteLovely purple!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that second top! Hurrah for your flowy top phase! I would have no idea what to wear if I was pregnant.

OMG, the purple Bal is stunning! 2008 was the year BB (before Bal) to me as I was going crazy over Chanel until it went crazy with the price. I think purple should be my next color for City bag, but before that I have to justify my Curry yellow purchase by using it more :)
