Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac and purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in blue!)
Why I wore it:
My favourite dress to finish up Frocktober! Just a relaxing Saturday, spending some gift cards we found that expired that day, and going out for lunch.It was an interesting challenge. If it had been one of the instagram style challenges I like to play along with, I would have given up a long time ago! It was only because I'd set myself a #31Days31DifferentDresses to fundraise for Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation that I kept going, as so many people had generously donated to encourage me.
I did a Frocktober wrap up post here. There were some outfits I loved, some I hated, and despite hoping I'd be able to clean out my wardrobe a little by getting rid of dresses that no longer worked for me, so very few dresses actually left my wardrobe! With many generous supporters, I managed to triple my initial fundraising target and raise over $600 for such a good cause. Thank you.

Why I wore it:
I was so excited to wear my maternity jeans after Frocktober! I wore my jeans and pants as much as possible in the early stages of my pregnancy with the help of a belly band, but I was really missing my maternity jeans. I knew as soon as I wore them the secret would be out, especially here on the blog, and I wanted to keep the secret to myself a little longer.It was so good to wear these - comfortable and practical for a morning at playgroup with the toddler. I wore my Kisschasy band tee I'd picked up at their final Brisbane concert too. Toddler T and I both wore our graphic tees!
Last worn: Ray-Ban wayfarer (above), Jeanswest maternity jeans, purple thongs, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote (above). First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.
Other ways to wear: maternity skinny jeans and a newborn, purple thongs and shorts, purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote with a black dress.

i LOVE that RM bag!! and the pooch is too cute!! i have a morkie (maltese yorkie). have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAww that does sound cute! We don't know if Cooper is a pure Shih Tzu or a cross, as the shelter we adopted him from said he was just Shih Tzu but the groomer suggests he has something else mixed in. Either way, he's perfect! :) And a cute photobomber!
DeleteLove your final dress! Glad you are comfy in your maternity jeans. They look good on you!

They are SO comfy! :D I was pleased to get them out again!
DeleteYou finished Froctober nicely with the beautiful boho dress. That graphic tee is adorable and shows off your cute growing bump.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Mica.
Oh I do like that little purple bag so so much :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a great bag :)
DeleteYay you have the belly band in AU! I swear that thing saved my life during pregnancy! I couldn't find maternity jeans comfy. I think I purchased one pair? They kept falling down and fit so awkwardly. That belly band was a life saver. I wore my normal jeans my entire pregnancy! At my last OB appointment by Dr actually said "oh you're still wearing your normal jeans? Don't tell your friends." (; I took it as a compliment. haha
ReplyDeleteOh you're so lucky! That is an awesome compliment - and achievement! I didn't find the belly band comfortable at all...I much prefer these maternity jeans! :) Best purchases ever.
DeleteThat RMinkoff bright bag is such a great addition to anything you wear !
ReplyDeleteThe perfect pop of colour! :)
DeleteI love this rebbecaa minkoff mab tote. They are my favorite . I have them in 2 colors :)

This printed dress is amating...lovely and feminine maternity look...and I also like the second one..it has a bit of rock feel to it , perhaps because of that tee.

You're looking fabulous in both your dresses and jeans! I love how your pooch always wants to get in on the action. Will he be getting some canine couture for Christmas?!
ReplyDeletehaha he will no doubt! But he never wears it for long....we had a big idea to get all the pups in the family in a family photo with various Christmas headwear, but we scrapped that, too much hard work keeping the clothes/hats on them all ha!
DeleteYou look amazing in both your outfits. I'm a massive fan of graphic tees and those jeans fit your legs beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWow, look at you hot mama.. Love every outfit here, Mica.. But the second one is making me feel a little envy cos I didn't wore jeans during my pregnancy, wish I did..
ReplyDeleteXoxo,

I've enjoyed seeing all your dresses, you have a lovely collection. Again, I love that bag - the color is just stunning. Also love how your dog wants to be included in your photoshoots, lol.

Sometimes he's really happy to ham it up for the camera! :)
DeleteOh I am loving this bag! And you are totally rocking the pregnant look - I think some women dress terribly when they're pregnant but you are wearing such great pieces that flatter your body and you're glowing with it! xx
ReplyDeleteSam // Samantha Betteridge
haha I think growing another human is hard work - people can certainly dress however they want! You can rest assured I'm lounging around in my PJs as much as possible until I actually have to get up and get dressed. Pregnancy dressing is tricky, things change so often! :)
DeleteYay for finding gift cards!! Free money! :D
ReplyDeleteYes! And free money that expires that day so you get extra reason to just spend it on frivolous things, no time for planning, hehe! :)
DeleteThank you all for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all your dresses and your growing bump too :) I wish I had done a better job of documenting my pregnancy when I was pregnant with Jona. Hopefully when we have another one I'll do better.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm in a pretty unique position to be in a habit of taking a photo every day! Something I am grateful though, I can see the progress :)
