Star Print Shirt, Metallic Skinny Jeans | Purple Tee, Stripe Maxi Skirt

The last two of my Fox in Flats September Style Dare outfits!

Here's what I wore to my mother's group:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Shirt: thrifted Zara star print shirt
Jeans: Sass and Bide 'Three Words' metallic gold jeans
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs


The style challenge for the day was "Sparkles". As I don't have anything covered in sequins, I thought about my star print top or the metallic jeans, then thought about wearing both together. When I put it on I wasn't sure if it was too much, the star print and the shiny jeans. But I figured the point of participating in style dares is to try something different and wear something you wouldn't usually, so I happily wore both out to my mother's group with baby.

Sadly, I didn't get a chance to wear this outfit anywhere after the mother's group. Right as we were about to leave, baby T felt unwell, and my clothes copped it. Had to throw them in the laundry right away! It was a fun outfit to wear for a few hours though. If I hadn't had the challenge, I definitely would have picked a different top.


Last worn: Wayfarers, star print blouse, metallic skinny jeans, Havaianas.

Here's what I wore to go to the doctors and spend time with family:

Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colourblock tee in orchid/grey marle
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs


This was the last of the style dare outfits I managed to photograph for the blog (I played every day on instagram but didn't always get a blog photo). Kinda fitting in with the "all black" challenge with a black maxi skirt, but only by chance. I wore this a few days after the mother's group outfit above, when my mum and sister came over for the day to help me take care of baby T. We had planned a girly day out shopping, but with baby still being unwell, we couldn't really go anywhere. We are blessed to have so many family and friends who will help us care for baby and work around his needs.

This maxi skirt and tee combination is what I put together to look presentable enough to have people over, go out to the doctors, and still be comfortable enough to take care of a sick baby. I had time to take a photo too with all the help I had, so grateful. I actually wore this combination for a few days - changing the top and skirt as needed while I looked after baby T. Partly because all of my jeans were quickly added to the laundry pile, and partly because maxi skirts feel as comfortable as pyjamas when you need to grab a quick nap as baby naps! And my pyjamas were piling up in the laundry too.....

I thought life with baby was messy, but life with a sick baby is so much worse. Really happy baby T is back to normal now!


Last worn: purple tee, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas (above).
