What I wore:
Dress: thrifted Target printed wrap dress (with Supre pink singlet underneath for modesty)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet
Why I wore it:
The style challenge for the day was 'she's a lady' so I figured a lady-like wrap dress with pink accessories was a great way to dress for the theme and still be office-appropriate. You can never go wrong with a wrap dress, and for only $1 this was an op-shop bargain I couldn't pass up!Last worn: pink singlet, printed wrap dress, two-tone flats, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.
Other ways to wear: pink singlet and a floral dress, printed wrap dress and purple singlet, two-tone flats and a plaid pencil skirt, Balenciaga sorbet city bag and a chambray dress.
Where to buy beautiful wrap dresses for under $100:
(I've already bought the first dress, I sized up so it works in the third trimester and it's perfect for the office. You can see it on Instagram here)
What I wore:
Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats (also available in silver)
Bracelets: the usual plus JORD black Fieldcrest wood watch (C/O)
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet
Why I wore it:
The style challenge for the next day was 'neck party' which I decided to do by layering some of my more delicate necklaces. This was before I got the awesome statement necklace from my bestie for Christmas, or that would have been perfect to wear.Loved carrying my Balenciaga city bag the day before, so wore it again. I like the colour combination of pink and black. I've worn the bag and dress together before too, when I was in the third trimester with baby T.
Last worn: Soon Maternity wrap dress, black ballet flats, Balenciaga sorbet city bag (above).
Other ways to wear: Soon Maternity wrap dress and an orange bag, black ballet flats and skinny jeans, Balenciaga sorbet city bag and a maxi dress.
Lots of nice wrap dresses, and other styles perfect for office wear.

ReplyDeleteI did a major wardrobe clean out this weekend. Out went the last of my two big maxis and wrap dresses. It was bittersweet, but easier to do since it's freezing here. I really look forward to summertime and figuring out new styles of dresses to try! (:
ReplyDeleteI haven't skipped a day with the style challenge I am currently following and I'm so proud of myself! It's ok you are a little behind. I'm sure as your pregnancy reaches it's end, you're exhausted and the last thing you want to do is blog. haha
You have been doing so well with your style challenge, I've enjoyed seeing your insta pics! :)
DeleteAnd yes I am not too worried about having a backlog of outfits to post..I'm sure it will come in helpful soon! ;)
Such a lovely dress, Mica! I think wrap dresses are so figure flattering and they show off and embrace a baby bump so beautifully, too. I love yours paired with the pop of pink, you look beautiful! I hope you're having a wonderful start to your week so far :)

Pink and black are a fantastic combo and I approve wholeheartedly. I also like the sorbetishness of this bag, scaling it back from a true hot pink to something a little more refined. (Even though I love hot pink/magenta/fuchsia)
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I love a good bright pink, but this pastel is such a nice shade too :)
Deleteomg!! i love your pink balenciaga!!! :D
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
