What I wore:
Dress: MEV Havana maxi dress C/O Zibibo
Belt: Louis Vuitton "comete" bandeau scarf
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Sash & Belle India fringed cross body bag in black (C/O)
Why I wore it:
You might remember this 'travelling bag' from my previous post. As well as wearing it cross body for a casual day out, I was able to use it on a dinner date with hubby. We went to see Zoolander 2, which was awesome and just as silly and funny as I hoped it would be.While I was hunting for a belt to wear I saw this rarely worn bandeau scarf and figured I'd better wear it now, as once baby arrives it will be a while before I'll be wearing silk again! I've worn this scarf and dress together a few times, I love the colours with the bright dress.
Last worn: MEV maternity maxi dress, Louis Vuitton bandeau, Havaianas, Sash & Belle fringed bag.
Other ways to wear: maternity maxi dress and ballet flats, Louis Vuitton bandeau as a headscarf, fringe bag worn cross body.
More pretty oblong silk scarves:
What I wore:
Dress: Jeanswest 'Sierra' embellished black maxi dress (on sale!)
Belt: Louis Vuitton "comete" bandeau scarf
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in blue!)
Why I wore it:
As I really liked the outfit I'd worn above, I decided to wear the same combination again for a birthday BBQ. I wasn't too sure how the busy printed scarf would look paired with the embellished neckline of the maxi dress, but I really liked the combination.Also took the chain strap off of my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag to wear as a clutch. Which just made it even easier to slip into the baby bag, as baby T was coming along with us.
Last worn: embellished maxi dress, LV bandeau scarf (above), Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag.
Other ways to wear: embellished maxi dress layered for winter, LV bandeau scarf with a little red dress, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag and skinny jeans.

You have a lot of beautiful maternity clothes especially your maxi dresses!
ReplyDeleteYes I'm lucky to have so many dresses in my wardrobe (like the second one) that work just as well in pregnancy as they do normally!
DeleteI really like the scarf as a belt! I think it adds a little something extra. Plus, who wants to wear a belt that pregnant. This works so well! Not to mention I wouldn't have thought those colors on the scarf would pair so nicely with purple and black! (:
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great scarf that goes with so many things..I really should wear it more!
DeleteI like the bandeau idea, very clever my dear Mica :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorena! It works well to let me get more wear out of my scarf :)
DeleteYou look adorable in these dresses, both are very stunning :)
ReplyDeleteFlorals&Smiles
You look so gorgeous, Mica! I greatly admire the fact that you are still workin' it, even this far along! Well done! Oh, and I adore that fringed bag!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila! I'm trying my best to look a little put-together every day. It is a very fun bag! :)
DeleteAdorable dear, I really like that first dress looks fab on you :)
ReplyDeleteARedLip&Love
Oh wow such a great idea to accessorise with that scarf. It looks amazing! Gemma x

This is such a great idea, Mica, to use a scarf as a belt! It really does give a different look to the dress, such a creative idea! You look beautiful in both outfits. You know I love you in radiant orchid, you just glow! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have an amazing day ahead!

It is a really nice touch to both dresses, and a great way to get more wear from my scarf!

I love the idea of using the scarf as a belt, so creative! I love that pink dress, it's one of my favorites of yours--that color is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteDid you cut your hair a little bit? It looks great. And looks like the baby has dropped a little. He or she is coming soon. =) I must say I love both bags here. Stunning for Spring!
ReplyDeleteWelcome by and link up these beautiful outfits with me tomorrow, Thanks, Mica. =)
Thanks Ada! Baby has certainly dropped :) No I haven't cut my hair, although it's due a cut!
DeleteMica, you think of everything! I would've never thought, but it works. You know I love your bags :D

Got to try think of ways to vary the pregnancy wardrobe slightly haha!
DeleteBoth of those maxi dresses look amazing on you and your adorable bump :)

both outfits are so lovely. That fuchsia maxi dress fits you so well and I love how you matched it with that fringed back. I also really like the second combo, that black maxi is a classic and pairing it with a silver bag was a nice choice.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
So many great items here! Love the fringe "clutch", the silver bracelet, the beaded details on the black maxi. Especially love how you added a fancy detail to your outfit using a scarf as belt here.

I am loving you've you've belted above your baby bump- it looks adorable :) The fringe clutch is super lovely too

Wearing a scarf as a belt is an amazing idea! I love it, you make the dresses look so good.

I was going to say- hey, I remember that purse!! I wish I could wear a maxi dress outside without a jacket!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great bag, it's nice I got to wear it one more time! :)
DeleteAw look at this so beautiful
ReplyDeleteHope your having an amazing week

I quite like the printed belt with this dress too. It's a really nice addition for sure. I'm so glad to hear Zoolander 2 didn't disappoint. I actually forgot all about it. Which is unheard of because Zoolander is my fave movie EVER

Love how you styled the scarf, great idea. Dressing a bump is definitely challenging but loads of fun at the same time. Not long to go now before baby arrives x
ReplyDeleteNazira | Love Hijab Girl | Bloglovin
Yep, not long to go now so I'm enjoying thinking of different ways to dress the bump until then! :)
DeleteYou are so beautiful! Just love these dresses! Perfect for the third trimester and you are stunning!! Sure hope you'll swing by and link up this fabulous outfit and fantastic style with our Style Perspectives link up linking on 15 blogs

I absolutely LOVE both of your outfits Mica. The dresses are stunning, their style is great for maternity and beyond. You chose great accessories to go with them including the scarf as a belt idea. <3 Happy Thursday dear, XOXO, Elif
ReplyDeleteThe scarf you added as a belt to both dresses is adorable! I love the color and print it adds to both outfits!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that it worked so well with both dresses! :)
DeleteGreat fringe piece, lady!

I loved how you used to scarf as a belt! And it looked so seamless too, I didn't even notice they weren't part of the dress until I read your little description at the bottom! Great idea :)

haha yep my belly button is definitely an outie in pregnancy!
DeleteYou look lovely in both colours! Personally, I love you with the pink one ^^
ReplyDeleteThose dresses are both beautiful, but I especially love the colour of the purple one and how nice it looks with the scarf. And the scarf is so pretty! How does it do up?
ReplyDeleteI just tie it in a knot at the back :) It doesn't crease it too much, the creases come undone naturally in the heat when I put it back in the wardrobe, haha!
DeleteThank you all for your lovely comments - and thoughts on the 'scarf as a belt' trick :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty in these cute maxi dresses! Fabulous idea with the scarves, I may just have to try this out myself. Thanks for the idea and for linking up, Mica!
