Leona Edmiston Fern Print Dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran | Grey Stripe Tee, Blue Lace Pencil Skirt, Balenciaga Day Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Dress: Leona Edmiston Jemima fern print dress
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Ferragamo double wrap bracelet
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Last time I wore this dress I was using it to disguise the tiny baby bump I had going on. The gathering at the stomach also compliments an established bump well I think.

Was good to have an easy and simple dress to wear on Monday, and my favourite bag, after having a bit of a disagreement with my wardrobe on Sunday evening realising that there are some non-maternity dresses I just can't wear any more, haha. Packing some things away sooner than I thought I would, due to underestimating how well baby's growing. On the plus side, some dresses went straight into the donate pile, so freed up more wardrobe space! :)


Last worn: Leona Edmiston print dress, Wittner black flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.



No outfit for Tuesday as I was unwell. Baby and I are doing fine now, although I was told to rest up for the day as a precaution.

Today I went for my comfortable default of a tee and pencil skirt for work, and lots of blue. Knew I would be extra busy and have lots to catch up on after missing work on Tuesday.

I like pairing this pencil skirt with grey a lot, but haven't tried stripes before so thought I'd give it a go when I saw this top hanging in my wardrobe. I think the print mixing worked okay, what do you think?

Had a day of training on Thursday, which was a lovely break from my currently hectic work. The course was held off-site, and had a really relaxed atmosphere. I learned a lot, and I'm looking forward to putting into practice some new techniques to make my job easier.

There was no dress code provided, so I wore what I would normally wear to the office and went with a simple outfit, passing off my maternity jeans as plain pants again ;) This top has been hanging around in the back of my wardrobe a while, so brought it out as it's going to be really valuable as the bump grows. I alternate between thinking I have plenty of clothes to see me through the rest of the pregnancy, and days where I can't seem to find anything to wear that looks decent and start to panic that I'll run out of clothes. I blame pregnancy hormones!

Had to wear a little bit of pink today for Valentine's Day! Not as bold as the bright red dress I wore last year, but a nod to the day just the same. And of course, jeans for casual Friday. So grateful for Jeanswest maternity jeans!

DH and I finished work a little early today to go and check out my photo in the 'My Human Family: Rescue Dogs Find a Home' exhibition. It's been in Sydney and Canberra, and now it's in Brisbane. Out of 400 entries, the photo I took of DH and Cooper relaxing in the hammock was one of the 40 chosen to be displayed. It was so nice getting to see my photo, I've never had anything in an exhibition before so I was really excited. Worth checking out if you're in Brisbane! It's here for another week and there are so many great photos and stories.


Hope that you have a great Valentine's Day, however you are celebrating. :)

Floral Halterneck Dress, Chloe Marcie Hobo, Balenciaga Sandals | White Tee, Lace Pencil Skirt, Alexander McQueen Scarf

Here's what I wore on Sunday:
cotton on grey floral print wrap dress second trimester baby bump

Chloe marcie hobo bag worn on shoulder
Necklace: gifted gold heart shaped necklace
Dress: Cotton On grey and floral print halterneck dress
ShoesBalenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus studded and chain link Oroton leather bracelets
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Simple outfit for a hot Sunday! We ended up going out for lunch, so I thought I'd try wear some proper sandals instead of thongs all the time. Picked my pink Balenciaga ones for a bit of colour. Still not sure if it was too much with the busy printed dress, but I was happy when I wore it.


Last worn: grey floral print dress, studded Balenciaga sandals, Chloe Marcie hobo bag.

Bag: gifted Corelli metallic and white handbag


Felt a little cold this morning so added a nice big scarf to keep me cosy on the way to work. It's really hot during the days, but every now and then I wake up and feel like it's a really cold morning. Maybe a pregnancy thing.

Have been wanting to wear this top and skirt together for a little while. Had picked this out as a possible "bump hiding" outfit back when I was keeping the bump under wraps at work, but it didn't quite cover it up enough after my belly popped. Remembered the combination and wore it today instead. Did wish I'd worn the top tucked in though, as it wrinkled up a lot during the day.

Still can't decide if pencil skirts look better with shirts tucked or untucked during pregnancy - I've been going for untucked but it's not the most flattering with my short height. If you've worked through a pregnancy, how did you wear pencil skirts? With shirts tucked to enhance the bump, or untucked to minimise it?

A very blue outfit! :) On Friday we had a team meeting to celebrate a few work achievements and milestones, and I wasn't sure what to wear. My sister had given me a fun ninja baby tee at Christmas, but I also thought I should be a little professional as one of the things we were there for was a work achievement of mine. Ended up wearing my striped shirt to be on the safe side. Although when my manager mentioned my baby news as another reason to celebrate I did wish I'd worn the fun tee, haha!

When I first got this shirt for Christmas I commented that it had plenty of room for a growing baby bump, but I probably won't be able to wear it much longer! So pleased to see baby is on track.

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff hobo - Nikki in Silverstreak


Simple outfit for a Saturday. Went with this dress which requires no extra accessorising as I was feeling a little uninspired for what to wear today with the heat. I suspect that I will be wearing a lot more dresses over the next few months!

Funny that last time I wore this dress I was wearing it because the oversized shape hid my then little baby bump quite well - definitely no hiding it now!

BagBalenciaga Coquelicot Velo


Bought these jeans a while back with my last Jeanswest sale purchase. I had tried them on in store early on after outgrowing my previous jeans, and knew that they would easily pass for plain black pants at work throughout the pregnancy. A stressful Monday full of meetings seemed like the best time to wear them!

This top is a new arrival too, my mum kindly bought it for me on our recent shopping trip. It has plenty of wiggle room for the bump. Had originally kept it as a new red top for our Chinese New Year dinner, but as I didn't wear it then I thought I'd wear it Monday.


Last worn: black flats, Balenciaga coquelicot velo bag. First time I've worn the top and pants.

BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Worked from home today as I had a check up with the doctor to monitor baby T's progress. Picked a simple casual outfit to wear. Elastic waist maxi skirts are incredibly comfortable for the bump, a tip I picked up from a colleague a while back. Expect to see a lot more maxi skirts over the coming months!

I haven't yet figured out how to wear the rest of my non-elasticated skirts though, they either have to sit above or below the bump, making them too short or in danger of falling down, haha. Do I need to put all of my fixed waist skirts in the "after baby arrives" storage box, or is there some trick I'm missing to be able to wear them with a bump? Let me know if you have any experience or tips! :)

We had a busy Saturday! After our Australia Day BBQ was a wash out last week, we moved it to Saturday instead. Spent the morning setting up and rushing out for last minute things, had a wonderful time at the BBQ, and then we went to the in-laws for a family feast for Chinese New Year. Lots of good company and good food, but I was exhausted and ready for bed by 9pm, haha!

Had a new red top in mind to change into for dinner, but after everyone left from the BBQ I didn't have a lot of time or energy to change, so I wore the same maxi dress I'd worn during the day. Certainly was comfortable for both occasions.

Had a much quieter Sunday! Just a nice casual jeans and a tank outfit. It actually ended up being a little warmer than I expected, starting to wonder if I should consider getting a pair of maternity shorts. I know if I do, the weather will just cool off again though ;)

Had Church Online in the evening as always, we've started a new series called '30 second theology' where we watch some ads and think about the messages behind them. It's really good, feel free to click by and check it out :)

No more hiding the baby bump in the office! I honestly can't hide it any more, the baby belly has truly popped. Wore lots of my favourite pieces to help feel comfortable all day Monday, in anticipation of the attention directed at the bump. Some of the guys in the office were very sweet about it when they did ask - although some were too polite to even enquire!

In my career, I've seen good ways to share the pregnancy news, and bad ways. Ranging from telling everyone the day after the positive pregnancy test, bringing it up during meetings and ignoring the dress code from the very beginning....to quietly telling people who enquire when the bump starts to show and continuing to dress and act professionally throughout the pregnancy. I know the pregnant ladies I've worked with and admire, and those that I want to emulate.

I'm also aware that while I am over the moon excited about the tiny baby growing inside of me, and my family and friends are just as excited too, people aren't coming to work to hear about my pregnancy. Fertility struggles or infertility and loss are difficult and often lonely things to battle through, and I would hate to upset any of my colleagues (or anyone!) unintentionally by letting my excitement get out of hand. Not everyone wants to know what fruit baby is currently the same size as! Although I'm sure you understand if I can't help but gush a little on my blog....

Monday was just like every other day - no announcements, no taking over meetings - just me no longer hiding the bump and feeling a little uncomfortable with all the attention it generates. Little note: if you wouldn't normally rub someone's stomach, don't do it when there's a baby growing inside. It's still just as awkward as walking up and rubbing a stranger on the belly ;)

This dress is another wardrobe find from one of my clear-out sessions. I had a bit of an obsession with wrap dresses a few years ago, used to wear them a lot more than I do now. Last wore this in 2011 it seems. It's so comfortable to wear and although I do now have to wear a singlet underneath for modesty, I still want to hold onto it. Keeping it in my wardrobe!

Thank you all for your entries in the giveaway - the winner 'sayanything' has been contacted via email.

Casual Friday Denim Jacket, Dress, Alexander Wang Rocco. Special Video OOTD

Here's what I wore to work for Casual Friday:

BagAlexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon


As it was a little rainy on Friday morning I added the denim jacket to keep warm on the way to work.
It's been over a year since I last wore this dress, I didn't realise it had been so long! I mainly wear it in summer, but I think I'm going to get more use out of it this year, so I'm keeping it in my wardrobe for now. Maybe I can even try layering it for winter. If I don't get more wear out of it though, it will definitely be leaving my wardrobe. Need to be a lot stricter with what I keep in my wardrobe.

Something a little different today, a video OOTD instead of a photo. I kept it short, so it's just over a minute long. And I added a little surprise at the end too! Hope you enjoy, leave me a comment and let me know what you think :)

Back In the Office: Striped Shirt and Pencil Skirt | Asos Pink Singlet and Tartan Checks, Sarah Conners Bag

ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: gifted Corelli metallic and white handbag


Sadly, it was time for me to go back to work on Wednesday. Dressed a little lazily by just wearing a shirt over a pencil skirt, and tied my hair back in a messy bun. This shirt is a Christmas gift from my parents, and it's so soft and comfortable! I'm not normally a shirt person as I hate ironing, but I am more than happy to make an exception for this one :) Will be good for casual weekend wear as well as office wear.

The bag is a recent gift too, one of my friends gave it to me for my birthday.

BagSarah Conners python bag in ebony


Despite trying to reduce my wardrobe this year, I was swayed by the latest Asos sale. 70% off, and an extra 10% off sale with code 'AUJAN10'. Difficult to resist! I bought a top and 2 pencil skirts for work, all practical purchases I easily justified, haha. This pencil skirt is super comfortable, and it got a lot of compliments today. I'm just trying to distract myself from the fact that I just increased the number of skirts I own by another 2 pieces, as I have no intentions of getting rid of any skirts at the moment!

A little bit cloudy and rainy, but still really warm and humid. This top is another one I haven't worn in a while. It's an oldie that used to be in high rotation before the blog, but I started wearing it less often. Took me a while to find it in my blog archives too. I really like the lace detail on the neckline, I need to wear it more often.

Not having much luck with reducing the size of my wardrobe lately - every old item I find and give one last wear to make a stay or go decision I seem to be keeping! At least I'm managing to slow my purchasing.

Another denim-free casual Friday outfit, in my quest to wear more of my wardrobe! This skirt has only been worn twice on the blog, I really should wear it more often as it's beautiful. Today was my last day at work for a while, I'm now officially on Christmas holidays. I'm looking forward to spending my days relaxing, swimming and catching up on my reading in the hammock. If the rain clears ;)

On Thursday, we had a work Christmas party in the afternoon. I thought this lace dress would be nice to wear for the office and drinks afterwards. Decided on flats rather than heels as it was a cocktail party, so lots of standing around and chatting. Although it was tricky to see everyone in the crowd without heels, haha. Was good getting to spend time outside the office with the team, and to catchup with people I used to work with, finding out what everyone is up to and where in the organisation they've moved to.

The pink shades of the belt and bag don't match at all, but I thought they complimented each other nicely. What do you think?

Another denim free casual Friday! It was mid 30's today (Celsius) so much too hot to consider jeans. I liked the colour the red bag added to the black and grey outfit :)
