Here's what I wore to pop into the city one afternoon:
Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print
Top: Kmart striped drop shoulder tee
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown
We'd been waiting a little while for some paperwork to come through for baby T. Luckily when we found out it was ready for us to pick up, my family were visiting so we were able to leave baby at home and head into the city. As per usual, getting dressed quickly was necessary so I went with my default outfit - maxi skirt, stripes, converse and a skull scarf! Getting a little predictable, but it's good to have outfit staples to fall back on when I don't have a lot of time. Added the denim jacket to keep warm as it was cooling in the evening.
During the pregnancy I had fun playing dress up in my wardrobe now and then, to see what clothes still fit the growing bump and to come up with outfit ideas. Clothes are much further down my list of priorities now if I do get a moment of free time. I usually have a nap instead! I honestly do, you should see the housework that's being neglected ;) Life with baby means less housework, more naps.
Last worn: denim jacket, skull scarf, stripe top, target maxi skirt, Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.
Here's what I wore to run errands with baby T:
Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Scarf: Supre neon pink leopard print scarf
Jumper: Supre knit loose fit jumper in bahamas
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag
Sometimes we have appointments we can't get out of and we need to bring baby T along - despite the many offers of friends and family to baby sit. Wore this to take baby T out for an early morning appointment and to run a few quick errands. Again with a maxi skirt, but just a light knit as we weren't out long and a jacket wasn't needed. I thought the colours in the scarf worked well with the peach of the jumper, and I thought I'd better wear something other than a skull scarf for a change!
Last worn: Ray-ban, neon leopard scarf, peach knit, stripe maxi skirt, Converse (see above), Marc by Marc Jacobs baby bag.

You are looking wonderful. What a gorgeous time. BTW housework is futile and over-rated. Xx
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly over-rated! :)
DeleteI think you look very put together, even if getting dressed is last on your list these days.

yep, naps are the best!
DeleteYou are definitely the queen of fun colorful scarves!! How many do you have?? I'm sooo curious! You also do an amazing job at layering in your outfits, congrats :)
ReplyDeletewww.thejoyoffashionblog.com
too many! haha! I just went and filled 2 bags of scarves for donating, as I have so many that I rarely wear!
DeleteMica, I like you new "uniform". I think it looks good, comfy and fun! You look great. Get rest, when baby gets rest.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim! Sleep when baby sleeps is the best advice :) although a little blogging now and then for some "me time" is good at nap-times too :)
Deletethe weather looks pretty good up there! glad to see you out and about though we'd totally understand if you had baby things to do! the scarf does work with the jumper, though i don't think i'd ever get bored of your skull scarves ;)

Lovely.. I love the way you have styled those maxi skirts. My favourite is the first one. Cannot go wrong with a denim jacket
ReplyDeleteYou have a great collection of colorful printed scarves and maxi skirts Mica. All of your Maxi Skirts look so comfy too. I am loving both outfits equally.
ReplyDeleteHope baby T is doing really well and growing up each day. =)
That last look is quite clever Mica, the colours, the pattern mix and the sneakers peeking out :)
ReplyDeletehehe, gotta have my converse! Shoe-wear of the winter for me this year I think!
DeleteNaps are ALWAYS a good idea :)

Loving the maxi skirts Mica! And well done for leaving the house at all with newborn in tow - especially with real actual outfits that look fab. Congrats on bub xx K
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's easy when I stick to familiar outfit formulas! :)
DeleteYou are slowing converting me into a maxi-skirt fan! I don't have any yet, but you make them look so easy and pretty!
ReplyDeleteI was sucked in the first time I found one that was a good length on me - always thought I was too short for them! Big fan now :)
DeleteYou are looking gorgeous! You know how to rock a maxi. Rachel x
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely the perfect way to manage life with a new baby! Awesome work. You look gorgeous as ever. Thanks for joining Wardrobe Wednesday x
ReplyDeleteYour go-to is much glam than my faithful denim and stripes thang. Hehehe! Loving that scarf, so vibrant and cute for our confused winter.
