What I wore:
Singlet: Jeanswest maternity tank in white
Skirt: Asos maternity graphic print pencil skirt (non-maternity version here)
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats (also available in silver)
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere
Why I wore it:
It was a slightly cooler morning so I got excited and wore a jacket. While I liked the extra print mixing it brought to my outfit, I quickly realised that it was still much too hot for wearing layers, and regretted my decision a little.By the time I went to my OB's appointment in the afternoon, I'd had my jacket off for a while!
Last worn: jacquard blazer, white maternity tank, graphic print pencil skirt, Walnut Melbourne ballet flats, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere.
Other ways to wear: jacquard blazer and a little black dress, white maternity tank and denim shorts, graphic print pencil skirt and a grey tee, black ballet flats and skinny jeans, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and winter layers.

Necklace: Eye Candy LA 'Sasha' statement necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Carla maternity cut out tank (non-maternity version)Skirt: Asos maternity panelled pencil skirt in tartan check (non-maternity version here)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey (on sale in black)
Bracelets: the usual plus JORD black Fieldcrest wood watch (C/O)
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere
Why I wore it:
Kept things much simpler with this outfit - no extra layer, I added a statement necklace for a bit of interest instead. I've worn this necklace and tank together before - I love the way the colours look against the black.I felt really happy and confident in this outfit all day - even though it's just a simple maternity tank and pencil skirt outfit. An outfit doesn't have to be overly fancy or complex to make you feel good :)

Other ways to wear: laser cut detail tank and denim shorts, tartan pencil skirt and a grey tee, studded mouse flats and shorts, Louis Vuitton Speedy bandouliere and denim shorts.

The jacket looks so sophisticated and chic - such a shame it was too hot to keep it on all day but the rest of the outfit looks fab anyway! Also loving your accessories in the second look - that necklace is beaut! x

Thanks Sarah! It is a great jacket, it will get a lot more wear when it cools down for sure!

Fall for you will be here before you know it! Unfortunately that will come after you're really pregnant, but none the less a nice relief for you! Sometimes the best outfits are made of simple closet staples. (:
ReplyDeletehaha yes they are predicting it will cool down at least, after my due date! So we will see!
DeleteMica, you are a rockin mum! I love the prints of those skirts. Look very good on you.

Both outfits are lovely as always. These pencil skirts both seem like great and versatile pieces! I hope it gets a little cooler soon. It mustn't be comfortable to have a heatwave while in your third trimester :) xo
ReplyDeleteNot the most comfortable, but won't be for much longer! :)
DeleteAt least your layer was easily removable! I hate days when I end up wearing a sweater only to realize it's way to hot :/ You look cute in both looks!
ReplyDeleteMili
yep I've done that before! A jacket is easier to remove! :)
DeleteI really like the shoes in your second look!
ReplyDeletewww.amemoryofus.com

ReplyDeleteI really love the first outfit Mica, you look lovely. I'm sure you're ready for the little one to arrive very soon. Great necklace as well. Have a lovely new week. x/Madison

I love the second outfit! I mean the first is great too, but the white would give me anxiety. But the second, yes, that's a winner. I love the necklace, and the bag contrasting but kind of going with the patterns. I'm hoping your third trimester is continuing to go smoothly!
ReplyDeletehaha yes so far I'm just happy I haven't stained this white top! :)
DeleteThey both look lovely on you! It's always fab when you feel confident in an outfit!

Love the second outfit! The black with the pop of color from the necklace really looks good. And it's good to hear that you felt really confident in it! Whenever an outfit makes me feel like that I never switch it up lol.

Yep, it's awesome to have something to wear that makes you feel great!
DeleteHeya! Sorry I've been super slow with all things in the blogosphere. You still look so wonderful!! I love both outfits and that bag you have in both is to die for! Hope you're still feeling well and such! XO

I totally agree, sometimes the simples outfits make you feel like a million bucks.

I am still loving both of those necklaces so hard. The jazzy coloured one with the black tank is so perfect! I have lots of statement necklaces but I never seem to have the right neckline to go with them.
ReplyDeleteI think the second one is perfect as it goes with everything I've tried it with! :) Such a great gift from my bestie :)
Deletegreat skirts!!!! love the geometric patterns!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

I agree, an outfit doesn't have to be complicated to make you feel great. You look great in both outfits. I adore those graphic B+W patterned pencil skirts. I am in love and want both necklaces and also that stunning boucle Chanel-like jacket. =)
