Balenciaga Sapphire Purple City, Maternity Pencil Skirts, Marc By Marc Jacobs Mouse Flats

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Necklace: House of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold
Top: Jeanswest 'Felicity' maternity shirt in amethyst (new purchase)
Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


This top is another one of the new things I purchased in the Jeanswest 40% off sale the other week. They had just released a nursing range and then had 40% off everything...I was powerless to resist! When the parcel arrived on Friday, I loved this top right away. It looked great with the skinny jeans I was wearing when I tried it on.

It doesn't really work with the pencil skirt though, does it? Much too long. I have that problem with a few of my maternity tops, I am petite so the extra length they add to the maternity clothes to accommodate a growing bump can swamp me a little. And I don't want to run round belting everything. Might need to pair this top with pants next time, as it's really comfortable and colourful so I want to keep it.


Last worn: Asos tartan pencil skirt, metallic gold mouse flats, Balenciaga sapphire city bag.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Top: Cotton On grey empire tie print top (with white Supre singlet underneath)
Skirt: Soon Maternity Flora fold pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black mouse flats patent leather
Bracelets: the usual plus purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet, Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


Very similar outfit to yesterday's - feeling uninspired! It was pouring rain this morning during the 5 minutes I have for photos, so indoor photos again. It cleared up and got much warmer almost right away.

Not sure how long I've had this top for exactly, but I probably bought it around the same time I got my other Cotton On top. So pleased that my clothes hoarding means I've kept a lot of my clothes from my flowy top phase a few years ago, they are just the thing for the growing baby bump!

Although this top I maybe can't wear again during the pregnancy. It is just a normal top and I don't quite think it can handle the third trimester bump, it felt a little short today as the bump made it ride up. Monday's top was too long, today's too short....still learning how best to dress baby and I! Feel free to leave me tips and tricks if you've been through this, your advice and comments are always appreciated :)


Last worn: white Supre singlet, Soon maternity pencil skirt, patent mouse flats, Balenciaga sapphire city (see above). First time I've worn the top on the blog.

Belted Striped Dress, Pink Accessories, Balenciaga Sorbet City | Purple Tee, Asos Maternity Pencil Skirt, Mulberry Alexa Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Sunglasses: pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Necklace: gifted beaded statement necklace from local markets
Dress: Jeanswest 'Rita' stripe jersey dress
Belt: Asos Metal Keeper super skinny belt in pink
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac, Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Stood in front of my wardrobe trying to find something to wear for quite a while, in the end decided to go simple and wear a dress. Haven't worn this one for a couple months, and figured I should wear it before the fitted waist gets too restrictive to wear. Ended up adding a lot of pink accessories too, just seemed like the easiest choice. Had to facilitate a big meeting Tuesday afternoon so simple and comfortable was a winner.

I really like this beautiful statement necklace paired with stripes, I've worn it that way a lot. My bestie always gets me incredible gifts! :)



Last worn: pink leopard print sunglasses, Jeanswest stripe dress, Asos pink skinny belt, metallic mouse flats, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers

Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet, Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey


Thank you for all of your advice and suggestions in my last post when I asked about wearing pencil skirts in pregnancy! Today I decided to try the skirt with the top tucked in, next time I'll have to try some of the other suggestions like shorter tops and belts.

Had wanted to try and recreate this outfit pairing today, but although the skirt has an elasticated waistband, it's just not got enough give in it to accommodate the belly. I changed it for this asos maternity skirt instead. The combination of the print on the skirt and the tucked in top really seemed to emphasise the bump. It generated a lot of attention today and every now and then made me think I might have been better off wearing the tee untucked. It's fun being able to try different things and learning different ways to dress during pregnancy though. I'm grateful for every day as I know it will be no time at all until the bump is gone and I'm cradling baby in my arms :)

Red Printed Top, Black Skinny Jeans, Balenciaga Coquelicot Velo | Stripe Tank, Maxi Skirt, Bal Sorbet City Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Necklace: Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Tank: gifted Emerson crochet lace bib print top
Pants: Jeanswest maternity skinny jeans in black (new purchase)
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle, Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga 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.

Here's what I wore today:

Sunglasses: pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
Top: Glassons striped tank in silver marle and white
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Balenciaga 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! :)


Last worn: pink leopard sunnies, grey/white stripe tank, black jersey maxi skirt, Havaianas, Balenciaga sorbet city.

Spent a lot of time on Thursday evening trying to plan my Friday outfit. We had a team event on Friday afternoon and had the option to dress up, but I decided to just wear normal bump-disguising clothes instead. It took a long time to find something!

My new Jeanswest maternity jeans arrived and are perfect in every way, so wore them and this printed cami as the flowing style hides the baby bump quite well I thought. Well, hides it better than any of my other tops could, haha. I tried on most of them!


Last worn: blue sunnies, polka dot cami, MbMJ mouse flats, Balenciaga tempete day bag. First time I've worn the jeans as they are a new purchase.

We were supposed to have a BBQ today, but sadly had to postpone it because the rain for the past few days had drenched the back yard. There was a lot more rain today too. Ended up spending more time with my mum and sister, we took the chance to go shopping before our afternoon movie.

Wanted something nice and comfortable suitable for trying on clothes, and my new singlet works well with the black maxi skirt. I picked up a few singlets in the Jeanswest sale along with the maternity jeans :)


Last worn: RayBan, black maxi skirt, Havaianas, Balenciaga sapphire city bag. First time I've worn the top as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace and Chanel necklace (close-up)
Top: French Connection grey tie detail top (with Asos black singlet underneath)
Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus purple bracelet made by a talented friend and purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


Dug this top out from the back of my wardrobe, it's the first wearing of it on the blog. Be prepared to see a few more "new" items rescued from my wardrobe coming out now, have been spending a fair bit of time trying to clean my wardrobe and found lots of forgotten things tucked in a corner! I wonder just how much is still hiding in there....

I used to wear this top a lot to uni and to work when I worked in a non-public facing office role and wore jeans every day. Over 5 years ago! It's obvious now why it got less wear when I changed jobs and was no longer able to wear denim every day, not a flattering silhouette.

It prompted one lady in the office to come over and ask me if I was pregnant, so not the best outfit to wear when I'm disguising the baby bump at work. Quite comfortable though, and will see me through the next few months easily! :)


Last worn: Ray Ban, tartan pencil skirt, black flats, Balenciaga sapphire city bag. First time I've worn the top on the blog.

Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis

I thought that the sequin embellishments on this top were a nice pairing with the graphic print on the pencil skirt, and really liked the combination. Funny how much smaller the bump looks today because of the different clothes too! :)

Happy New Year! Outfits for NYE 2013, First Day of 2014

Here's what I wore on New Year's Eve:

Sunglasses: gifted Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Chanel necklace
Top: French Connection feather foil singlet
Skirt: Cotton On metallic lace tulip skirt in frosted almond/silver
Shoes: Nine West silver strap sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle on other arm
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Had to wear something sparkly for NYE! Decided to double up on the sparkle a little with the metallic lace skirt and glitter singlet. I think they looked okay together, not really possible to have too much glitter going on for a new year's eve outfit!

DH, Cooper and I had a quiet new years eve, relaxing and reflecting on 2013 and what's to come in 2014.
Blog wise, I've had this blog 2 years now! This year I will continue trying to wear more of my wardrobe, reducing what I already own and slowing down my purchasing.
It's been great getting suggestions and opinions from people who read along, thank you to everyone who leaves a comment or sends me an email. Your honest opinions and feedback are always welcome.
Thank you for following along, or just dropping by, and seeing what I've been wearing each day.

Here's hoping we all have a wonderful 2014!


Last worn: Rayban wayfarers, glitter tank, metallic lace skirt, silver sandals, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Here's what I wore to today:

Tank: gifted Jeanswest 'Macy' ombre tank in 'very berry' 
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars maxi skirt in white and navy
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted gold bangle set and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle on other arm
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Casual outfit for a relaxing start to 2014! :) The top has beautiful beading detail on it so didn't think a necklace was necessary, just kept it simple. Probably wouldn't pair the skirt and top together again though, the top's lined which made it a little tricky to tuck in perfectly. Loved the colours together, but will try a different combination next time.


Last worn: stripe maxi skirt, Balenciaga studded sandals, Balenciaga sorbet city bag. First time I've worn the tank as it was a birthday gift.

After a great day at the beach Saturday, I had a bunch of things to catch up with on Sunday.

Might finish up by getting the rest of our presents online!
If you're shopping online, don't forget to check out the sales page. I'm adding to it every time I hear of a new sale or discount.

Had the day off work today as I had an appointment in the morning. It was lovely to get to spend a little extra time with DH before he went to work, and always fun spending time with Cooper! My sister and I sorted out a few more Christmas presents too which was nice. Always fun working together on a present, you get to share the surprise with someone else before you see how the recipient likes it. My sister has got Cooper a great present that DH doesn't know about, and I can't wait to see his face when she presents it to Cooper on Christmas day, haha!

Lace Pencil Skirt, Oversized Top, Balenciaga Sapphire City | Casual Friday Jeans and Tee, Bal Day Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Sunglasses: pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Top: Jeanswest 'Leila' embroidered top
Skirt: Living Doll Wednesday black lace skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent leather logo plaque flats
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


Kept the accessories simple, didn't wear a necklace. I tried on a few necklaces in the morning, but they all seemed a bit much with the embroidered panel on the top and the lace on the skirt. Figured the texture was enough to add some interest to the outfit. What do you think?

Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Got lots of comments on my necklace today! Maybe it just popped against the purple tee? I had a comment from a colleague that he was worried I was wearing a radioactive necklace! Apparently this looks similar to necklaces made of volcanic rock that can have harmful, radioactive chemicals in them? Never heard of that before, that was an interesting elevator ride! :)

Melbourne Cup Lace Dress, Floral Headband, Miu Miu Bag | Printed Top, Skinny Jeans, Balenciaga City

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: gifted freshwater pearl necklace
Dress: Asos midi dress in black lace
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Miu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


Slightly fancy with a floral headband today for Melbourne Cup day celebrations at work. Although we did have to be in the office, lunch was catered and we all stopped to grab some food, chat and watch the race. I wasn't sure I was going to put any effort in for the best hat competition, but then my colleague called Monday night asking me to bring some hats in for her to try, so I figured I'd at least add this headband. I bought it back in 2011 to attend a Gala event and haven't ever worn it since, so it was good to wear it again. We didn't win any prizes with our hats, but there was some fierce competition for the best hat title!

Also tried wearing this dress with flats instead of heels after walking past a very chic looking lady in the street wearing this exact dress with cute black flats. Looked better with her height than my petite frame I think!

Sneakily working jeans into my office wear today! I saw these online and bought them knowing that I could probably pass them off as normal pants in the office. There were a few other colleagues wearing denim today so even if anyone did notice that I was wearing jeans, it wasn't a big deal.

I knew I hadn't worn this top in a while, but when I went to find its last appearance on the blog, it's been over a year! It's just been buried so far back in my wardrobe I rarely wear it. Even with all of the clothes I own, I tend to rotate through only a fraction of them. Need to wear this top more often, it's lovely for work.

Although we missed out on the Zombie Walk and Fright Night this year, I couldn't resist putting Cooper in his little NYPD outfit that my sister brought him back from the US. Cutest little Halloween costume! :)

Stripe Tank, Jeans, Balenciaga Sorbet Accessories | Asos Grey Tee, Skinnies, RM Mini MAC, Funkita Swimwear

Here's what I wore to work on Friday:

Sunnies: pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: AT By Atmos&Here Orion stripe tank (new purchase)
Jeans: Sass and Bide "Straight up" jeans
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


I worked from home on Thursday and actually forgot to take an OOTD before it got dark, although I did take a quick instagram shot of Cooper and I when I realised.

So this is what I wore to work for casual Friday. Nice simple striped tank and jeans. I would have liked to have added a scarf for some colour, but it was much too hot, so settled for pink accessories.


Last worn: leopard print sunglasses, Sass & Bide jeans, Balenciaga sandals, Balenciaga sorbet city. First time I've worn the tank as it's a new purchase.

Here's what I wore today:

Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Risky Business' sunglasses in sky blue
Necklace: gift from DH
Tee: Asos new forever grey tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide Jekyll and Hyde zippora jeans
Shoes: Novo 'Tahnee' black studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Kate Spade skinny mini bow bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


This is in fact the exact same outfit as I wore a few weeks ago, just with different accessories. Although I do repeat wear items a lot, like everyone with a finite wardrobe space does, I don't usually repeat combinations so closely together, haha. I just like this tee with the skinny jeans. It's comfortable and it works :)


The weather was even sunny enough today to take a dip in the pool with my new Funkita garden party print bikini! Funkita make really good swimwear, and just released a new 'Pixel Mix' collection at the start of the month. Lots of fun prints and bright colours for spring, all the way up to a size 22. I think this floral print is lovely and perfect for the warm weather, don't you think?

It looks great when worn too, so I thought I'd share that photo of the gorgeous Funkita model wearing it to truly do it justice. They have lots of pics on their facebook page. The fit is nice, and everything stays firmly in place so you don't have to do that awkward "modesty check" to make sure everything is still covered before you pop up from jumping into the pool like you do with some bikinis. Looking forward to wearing this a lot over the coming months and putting the durability and colour fast properties of the fabric to the test! Although I just missed out on it arriving before our long weekend holiday, the warm weather we are having means I'll have plenty more times to wear it before the pool gets too cold.


Last worn: blue sunglasses, Asos grey tee, Jekyll and Hyde skinny jeans, studded sandals, RM silver mini MAC.
