Postpartum Outfits: Denim and Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere

The unexpected continuation of Brisbane's summer temperatures well into autumn meant I was able to wear my denim shorts for much longer than anticipated. I was able to squeeze in another wear of my maternity skinny jeans on a slightly cooler day too though.

What I wore:

Jacket: New Look Petite print kimono (on sale, 70% off!)
Singlet: Jeanswest maternity nursing cami
Shorts: Cotton On blue denim shorts
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a morning stroll by the sea and some fish and chips for lunch. It was a little windy, but still a nice day for a walk and warm enough for shorts. It was lovely to get out and have a change of scenery. The little neighbourhood walks we were doing the first few days are good to get out of the house, but nothing beats looking at and listening to the waves.


Last worn: blue printed kimono, black maternity singlet, denim shorts, gold Havaianas, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere.

Other ways to wear: blue printed kimono and green top, black maternity singlet and floral kimono, denim shorts and a tunic dress, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere in the office.

Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey (on sale in black)

Why I wore it:

First time I've worn makeup since baby's arrival! When toddler T was born I'd packed my makeup in my hospital bag thinking I'd want to look nice for photos with family in the hospital...this time around I knew it would be a while before I wanted to pick up a makeup brush.

The makeup was because we were having our newborn photoshoot, and I wanted to get some family pictures like we did when toddler T was a newborn. We booked it in for when baby boy was just under 3 weeks old, about the same age his big brother had been. We went with the same photographer we did last time and I highly recommend him if you're in South East Queensland. Although baby boy was extremely unsettled and toddler T decided to act shy in front of a camera for the first time ever, we still got some great shots. More thanks to the skill of the photographer than the willingness of the photo subjects, ha! We rewarded ourselves afterwards with lunch and a trip to Ikea.


Last worn: grey tee, maternity skinny jeans, studded mouse flats, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere (above).

Other ways to wear: grey tee and a maxi skirt, maternity skinny jeans for travel, studded mouse flats and a wrap dress, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and a wrap dress.
