While baby has arrived, I used the start of my maternity leave before his arrival to get out and about and take outfit pictures every day so that I'd have some scheduled posts to share, allowing me time to embrace the newborn days and the standard new mum uniform of pyjamas!

I wore these two outfits to make the most of my maternity leave and run a heap of errands and last minute tasks to try be as organised as possible before baby arrived. It means dressing simply too, easy maxi dress outfits don't require a lot of thought and are comfortable to wear whatever the day has in store.

What I wore:

Dress: Jeanswest 'Sierra' embellished black maxi dress (on sale!)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey (get it pre-owned!)

Why I wore it:

I like the sparkly embellishment on this dress, so I usually save it for dressier occasions. However I noticed it hadn't been worn in a while so decided to dress it down a little with the casual Mulberry Alexa bag and wear it to go to playgroup with toddler T. Every time I wear this dress it makes me smile, even while pregnant, so I'm glad I wore it again.

Doesn't need any extra accessories with the beaded neckline, so it's really simple to wear.

Surprised to see it's been 5 months since I wore this bag though! It was definitely overdue a wear.


Last worn: embellished maxi dress, Havaianas, Mulberry foggy grey Alexa bag.

Other ways to wear: embellished maxi dress layered up for winter, Mulberry foggy grey Alexa bag in the office.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: Roie Designs pearl and antique gold long necklace 

Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey (get it pre-owned!)

Why I wore it:

I liked the maxi dress and Mulberry Alexa combo above, so wore it again a few days later. Had a quiet day with a few errands to run in the morning.

I didn't like this outfit as much as the one above. I wasn't sure what accessories to wear and kinda threw things on, although it looks okay in the photos I felt something was a little 'off' about the outfit all day.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, blue printed maxi dress, Havaianas (Above), Mulberry Alexa (above).

Other ways to wear: blue printed maxi dress without a baby bump, Mulberry Alexa and skinny jeans.
