Here's what I wore on Saturday:
Dress: Jeanswest 'Melanie' paisley mixed print dress (currently 40% off!)
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow
This outfit was one I had in mind for our anniversary dinner on Friday. Unfortunately, the thongs (flip flops) kind of make the whole look a little too casual for eating out at a restaurant, and were against the dress code of the place we booked. My swollen pregnancy feet won't let me wear anything else though, haha!
I really wanted to wear this pretty dress, so wore it on Saturday instead. We had a quiet day, and had dinner with the in-laws in the evening. My sister in law just got back from an amazing trip, so we had the chance to catch up and see some photos.
Last worn: Jeanswest paisley print dress, gold glitter belt, Cotton On thongs, Rebecca Minkoff Swing bag.
Here's what I wore today:
Dress: Jeanswest 'Elodie' tie dye grey jersey maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow
Simple maxi dress today, for lunch and a movie with DH. We are wondering how many more quiet weekends to ourselves we will get before baby arrives. Hopefully not too many more, we are so excited to meet the little one :) The checkout guy at Woolies was full of questions for us when we did the groceries, wondering when baby is due to arrive. We've seen him a few times during the pregnancy, he's always so sweet and asks how things are going.
Was nice to just wear a dress today - although when we were walking Cooper in the evening I did find myself wishing I'd worn a jacket. First day of winter today so it will definitely start cooling off now, will soon have to start wearing more layers.
Last worn: Jeanswest grey maxi dress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff swing bag (see above).
Linking up with Monday Must-Haves, #FunDayMonday, Mix It Monday, Manic Monday today.
Winter is well and truly here in Sydney. It's going to be a miserable drive in to work tomorrow...

aww :( Hopefully you can rug up in some lovely layers to make it a little more bearable!
DeleteIt is about time for him to get here...how exciting! I love both dresses...the first one is really pretty. And it's great how most of the things you've worn during your pregnancy can work when the bump is gone too.

Yep, not long until baby makes his or her arrival! :) I've been trying to stick to non-maternity pieces as much as possible as my wardrobe space is limited! :)
DeleteYou look so lovely in both pictures but I'm absolutely in love with the maxi. You look so elegant and bump looks happy. The bag definitely gives it that pop of colour. You say you can't wear anything due to swollen feet but your legs haven't bulked up at all! Unless you were super super supermodel-like slimmy pre-pregnancy. Hope you've had a relaxing weekend and are ready to kick off another week with baby. Rosemary X

haha thank you Rosemary! I usually try get my photos in the morning, that became my routine for when I was still at work, so the swelling doesn't look too bad then :)
DeleteI love how much this cheery yellow bag brightens up both outfits! Looks great :D

That yellow bag is really adorable, such a nice find:) I love the way you look in maxi dress, and the first one is also very pretty;))) Lovely snapshots as well!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous time!
Love both dresses. Pregnancy seriously suits you! Happy anniversary too xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Louise :)
DeleteI love that tie-dyed maxi dress. Well you look lovely, I'm sure your feet felt better ... that's why I use cushion flats, sometimes you just need a break from wedges, heels, etc. :-)

It actually feels like you've been pregnant forever! Haha but still looking stylish as ever!
ReplyDeleteWell I have been pregnant all year ;)
DeleteAhh the restaurant needs to consider pregnant ladies' feet! You look lovely and that maxi dress is such a great design. Love the pop of bag colour as always :)

Happy Anniversary and what a bummer about the dinner. My feet grew about 1/2 size when I was preggos and it never went back down.

I've heard a few people changed shoe sizes permanently - hoping that doesn't happen as I love my shoe collection! We will see :)
DeleteI like these dresses. Especially the second one. Wearing that dress you look elegant and chic in a special way:) Well chosen accessories!

Those Jeanswest Dresses are nice especially the Paisley one. I also adore the yellow bag. =) Too bad about the restaurant giving you attitude. I didn't experience bigger feet while pregnant, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteAlways love when you stop by. Thanks for your latest nice comment and enjoy this new week and month. <3 Ada.
Oh, they didn't have a problem with it, I wore the maxi dress (previous post) to dinner so I could sneak my footwear in under the radar, haha.
DeleteHappy anniversary! Such a shame they didn't understand the situation in that restaurant - I think dress code or not, they could have been a bit more... human. Both looks are wonderful and I really like the print of the maxi dress. x
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what they would have done if I'd turned up in the dress above, so I wore a maxi dress (previous post) to hide my footwear choices haha!
DeleteGreat looks! The second dress is so pretty and perfect for summer ^^

You look so special with baby belly and you ddidn't get so many kilos during pregnancy!.You rock your dresses and Havayianas are not just flip flops! Best wishes for the big day!
ReplyDeleteLove the maxi outfit and your yello RM bag!! Stunning. I have heard from so many of my friends about their feet growing during pregnancy and never reverting back and that scares the living hell outta me, given my shoe collection :(
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a bag person than a shoe person, but I'm still hoping the swelling goes down as I like all my shoes! haha
DeleteHi! Happy anniversary! Nice ideas for outfits when you're expecting. You look adorable!
ReplyDeleteWow that is strict policy considering you had a long dress on. Love the bag I have so been wanting to get on of those.

I REALLY like the tie-dye dress! Too cute! And no--- I don't miss swollen pregnancy feet! I keep thinking that I am going to visit your blog and you'll have had the baby… it's coming up!
ReplyDeleteYes, not long to go now!
DeleteBoth are so cute on you Mica! Love that maxi dress especially.
ReplyDeleteYou always look so beautiful! I think anyplace will give a pregnant girl a free card for the flip flops! and they did not take anything away from outfit, you still looked stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and happy anniversary!

Thanks Milu! I wore a maxi dress out to dinner (previous post) just to be sure they couldn't see my feet so it wouldn't cause issues, haha!
DeleteBoth outfits are gorgeous but the second on is my favorite because purple looks amazing on u. By the way Happy Anniversary!

That last maxi has fit you so well from day one, I'd actually love to sees post where you make a recap of all the times you have worn it while pregnant :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a good idea for a post that you can schedule.
That would be a great idea Lorena! I did try to rewear my current wardrobe as much as possible, maybe I have enough for a post :)
DeleteHope you had a nice time while spending time with your family! Love both of these outfits, maxi dresses look definitely amazing on you :)
ReplyDeletelove that you are making your non-maternity pieces work even in your latest months of pregnancy! both dresses are beautiful. can't believe you're going to be a momma soon!!

hey lovely, SURELY they let you in despite the dress code! they must not have had swollen pregnancy feet before! especially loving the colour combo of the second outfit here.. hope you're having a good break!
ReplyDeletesteph / absolutely-fuzzy.com
Oh I wore a maxi dress to dinner (previous post) so they let me in....as they couldn't see my feet haha. Didn't want to risk it by having the thongs out there in the open, so the maxi dress was a better choice.
DeleteThank you all for your kind comments and happy anniversary wishes :)
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm so late getting to read this! :( Dang I'm so behind on life right now!!
ReplyDeleteI really love that maxi on you! And I LOL'd at your pregnancy feet because after my walk last weekend, I've only been able to wear thong sandals bc I couldn't get my feet in anything else - not even WELLIES!! I kept telling my husband that this *has* to be how pregnant women feel when their feet swell! So, I sympathize with you! You are looking as great as ever though!! Carylee | morepiecesofme.com
Oh hope the swelling goes down soon for you!
