Grey Tee, Pink Leopard Print Jeans | Tie Dye Maxi Dress, Blue Cardi

Here's what I wore to spend the day with my mum and sister:
SunniesRayban new Wayfarers
ScarfAlexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
TeeGrey v-neck tee with rolled sleeves (new purchase)
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag


I like pairing pink and grey together as much as I do pink and blue! Very happy to be able to squeeze back into these jeans post-baby, they are such a fun statement pair. I used to have a grey leopard print jean as well, but I donated those and held onto these.

I wasn't too sure about the print on the scarf worn with the jeans, but my sister told me it looked okay. Glad I listened to her, I really liked this outfit. We went out to have lunch at the bayside, so the scarf was a good extra little something to kept the chill off. It was baby T's first time by the sea, but he was asleep for most of it, cuddled up with his auntie in the baby carrier. Such a lovely day, and a great lunch.


Last worn: Wayfarersskull scarf, leopard print skinnies, mouse flats, Marc Jacobs baby bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a new purchase.



Here's what I wore to have a friend over:
Sunglasses: Cotton On 'Risky Business' sunglasses in sky blue
CardiJeanswest long blue drape cardigan
DressJeanswest 'Elodie' tie dye grey jersey maxi dress
ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter


I love looking back and seeing the baby bump when I look up the last time I wore things. When I last wore this dress I was 39 weeks pregnant!

One of the ladies in my mother's group is starting up her own skincare business, and was looking for guinea pigs to practice on. I jumped at the chance for a pamper session! My mother in law and I had a really nice morning at home getting a free facial.

Ended up with a very blue outfit! Just wanted something easy to wear as I was really tired as baby T had been a little grouchy overnight, so wore a maxi dress with a cardi for warmth. Last time I wore a similar longline cardi with a maxi skirt I didn't like the way it looked, but I thought it looked nice left untied with the maxi dress this time. Maybe as the maxi dress has that elasticated section? Comfortable and practical outfit for a pamper session anyway :)


Last worn: blue sunglasses, blue cardigan, grey tie dye maxi dress, glitter flats.

  4. This printed jeans are so fun in the soft pink. I do like pinks & grays together too and I agree with your sister that the scarf works very well with the first outfit.

  5. Oooooh, these two outfits are spot on!
    Your sister was right, the skull print is a different size, so it still works with the leopard print. Great colors!

  11. I like both of these outfits. The first outfit is my favourite outfit I've seen on you so far. the combination of pink and grey is such a stunning look. The scarf is beautiful and the trousers are such fun. I love your 2nd outfit too, it's mad to think you were so pregnant when you last wore it.

  23. Hi there! I love both of your outfits! I remember that dress when you were pregnant and you look as beautiful as you did with the big baby T belly :) both outfits are super cute, I specially like the leopard print pink pants and how you paired up with that scarf (your sister was very helpful). I hope baby T starts having more peaceful nights!
