Second Trimester Evening Outfits: Jersey Maxi Dresses & Pregnancy Weight Comments

As much as I love a good singlet and shorts combo for being pregnant over summer, you can't beat the simplicity of a maxi dress for looking put-together. They are perfect for feeling dressed up enough for going out for dinner, while still being incredibly comfortable and accommodating to a baby bump.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklace layered with thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Elodie' tie dye grey jersey maxi dress
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH (on sale!)
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Chanel vintage quilted lambskin flap

Why I wore it:

This is what I wore to hubby's work Christmas party. We went out for dinner, and I had planned to wear one of my dressier non-maternity maxi dresses, but quickly found I couldn't squeeze the bump into it! Clothes that zip up are generally are not pregnancy friendly. Tried on a few and settled on this one instead. Stretchy jersey so I knew it would fit (I wore it through the third trimester last time) and I just added some glam accessories with my vintage Chanel bag.


Last worn: tie dye maxi dress, Balenciaga studded sandals, vintage Chanel flap bag.

Other ways to wear: tie dye maxi dress without a baby bump, Balenciaga studded sandals and a chambray dress, Chanel bag and a purple maxi dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Chanel necklace
Dress: MEV Havana maxi dress C/O Zibibo
Belt: Louis Vuitton "comete" bandeau scarf
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

We had a dinner out with friends booked for a while and I was looking forward to it, but so much more after the Christmas party the night before. There were a lot of 'you're huge!', 'it must be twins!' and 'are you sure it's not twins?' comments from strangers at the party and it was getting to me a little, with all the pregnancy hormones! While my OB reassures me I'm measuring right on track, I still think I look a couple weeks bigger than at the same point in pregnancy with baby T. I know you'll always look bigger in subsequent pregnancies too as your abdominal muscles aren't as taught as they were the last time, but so many comments seem designed to put pregnant women down for the natural and normal weight gain that comes along with growing another human.

I am completely in awe and so grateful for a growing baby, and I'd happily have a belly twice the size if that means baby is growing as it should. Being pregnant is a blessing I am thankful for every day. It still stings a little to be constantly told how huge you are though, especially at a time when emotions are already a little unstable!
I don't want to appear ungrateful, I just want to highlight that there are nice ways to say things and not-so nice ways to say things and that when someone is pregnant suddenly all the weight comments start flying, with very few filters. Commenting that the bump is growing nicely or has gotten bigger since you last saw it is a lot politer than saying that pregnant women swell up like massive puffer fish, haha.

It was awesome to put on a pretty dress I knew I would fit, look good in, and laugh and joke with my friends for the evening. I am so blessed to have friends that know exactly how to compliment a pregnant lady, giant baby belly and all ;)


Last worn: purple maxi dress, Louis Vuitton bandeau, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: maxi dress in winter without a baby bump, Louis Vuitton bandeau worn in hair, studded sandals and denim shorts, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and skinny jeans.

Frocktober: Work and Weekend: Blue Printed Dresses and Rebecca Minkoff Bags

Although Frocktober may be over, I'm only at the halfway mark for sharing my Frocktober fundraising outfits! Dresses 15 and 16 were both blue. I was starting to get a bit fed up with dresses at the halfway mark, so picked some blue dresses to wear to give me a bit of a boost. It's my favourite colour and it would be easy for me to wear it all the time!

Any minor wardrobe resentment I have during my #31Days31DifferentDresses challenge is nothing compared to what ovarian cancer sufferers have to face every day. I'm wearing a different dress every day to raise funds for Ovarian cancer Research Foundation, and every donation helps. Thank you to everyone who has supported me!

What I wore:

Necklace: Chanel necklace

Dress: Target Dannii Minogue Petites printed wrap dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

I'd set this dress aside earlier in the challenge as a work dress (trying to make sure I had enough office appropriate dresses to see me through Frocktober!) and figured I'd better wear it now before the bump gets much bigger! It was definitely a squeeze. Will be packing this dress away for after baby arrives, won't be able to wear it again in pregnancy.

I didn't feel this looked great at all. Trying to fit a second trimester baby bump into a regular non maternity dress doesn't always work well, especially for one as form fitting as this. But it got a bunch of compliments in the office and it was the most liked instagram pic so far for my Frocktober challenge, so maybe I'm just missing something!


Last worn: geometric print faux wrap dress, studded mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Other ways to wear: geometric print dress layered up for winter, studded mouse flats and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff MAM and a maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklace
Dress: Atmos&Here Polly navy polka dot shirt dress
Shoes: Ikwetta 'Circles of life' sandals (C/O)
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff striped coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe

Why I wore it:

After not feeling happy or confident with my dress the day before, I picked a recent favourite to wear the next day to cheer myself up. I bought this dress just 6 months ago, and this is its 5th wear. Unfortunately, it's also its last wear.

I was feeling a bit restricted in it (due to the baby belly!) and kept tugging at it through the day, debating if I should add this to the office frock swap. I'd decided to keep it (button downs are great for breastfeeding), when I got home later that afternoon and realised it had torn. Wearing a baby bag, a toddler on your hip and then tugging the dress that was riding up back down means at some point during the day it had ripped irreparably at the seams.
I'm sad to see it go after so little wear, I really don't feel I got my money's worth. But on the plus side, it was only a small tear, and I didn't end up having a complete wardrobe malfunction and flashing my undies to anyone!

Leaving my wardrobe: Atmos&Here Polly navy polka dot shirt dress

Links to outfits: one, two, three, four.


Last worn: polka dot shirt dress, Ikwetta sandals, Rebecca Minkoff canvas stripe mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: polka dot shirt dress with tall boots, Ikwetta sandals and a maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff canvas stripe mini MAC with a red printed tank.

Jeanswest Maternity Denim: Casual Friday Skinny Jeans, MbMJ HIllier Hobo | Saturday Shorts, RM Mini MAC

Here's what I wore for Casual Friday:

Necklace: Chanel necklace layered with custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: French Connection black paisley printed empire top (with pink Supre singlet underneath)
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue

Simple jeans outfit for casual Friday. I'm so glad Jeanswest make maternity jeans so I have an easy casual Friday option! Although it was fun trying denim free casual Friday outfits late last year when I had outgrown my jeans and was still trying to hide the baby bump, it's nice to know I can just pick pants and a top and I'm set! :)

This top has a lovely print with a little bit of pink in it. I thought the pink singlet would be nice with it, and choose some pink accessories too.


Last worn: French Connection print top, maternity skinny jeans, two tone flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier hobo.

Here's what I wore today:

Top: Splendid double French stripe tank in 'Flamingo' pink
Shorts: Jeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoes: red Roxy thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Another simple, casual outfit! So glad I bought these shorts, as although it's officially autumn now the weather is still nice and warm.

Today we spent some more time at baby stores and picked out and picked up baby's crib. So excited to have the first piece of nursery furniture! I kept going around and snapping pictures of cute nursery ideas too. We won't be painting baby's room as DH is quite minimalist when it comes to decorating, but there are lots of cute accessories and cot sets. I'm in love with a little Disney Winnie the Pooh set at the moment, it's adorable! Sadly, quite expensive. Now we have the dimensions for the cot though we can start thinking more about colour schemes and themes, so much fun.


Last worn: Ray Ban new wayfarers, Splendid striped tank, maternity denim shorts, Roxy thongs, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

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.

Another dress! I have plenty of wardrobe options but I keep falling back on dresses for work this week - they are just the easiest and simplest option for the office. The mouse flats were noticed by my colleague during a mid morning meeting. I tried my hardest not to laugh when he pointed at my shoes, smiled, and made a little mouse face complete with hands for ears. Definitely made me smile for the rest of the meeting though :)

Today was a short day at work. Lots of meetings (again!) in the morning, and then we had a team building in the afternoon, so it was casual wear. I thought a maxi skirt would be a good choice.
We had a BBQ in Roma Street Parklands, which is a lovely spot to sit in for the afternoon. We timed our leaving perfectly, as the predicted afternoon storm just started as we walked into the train station to go home. Although I do feel sorry for those who decided to walk back to the city before heading home!

Nice, simple, easy outfit for work today. I had lots of meetings so wanted to be comfortable. Was glad to be wearing flats too after we had to stand for a big meeting for over an hour. I felt sorry for the ladies in heels! Similar to the last time I wore this dress, I added a bright belt.

Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent leather logo plaque flats

Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather


Big bag today to carry some notebooks back to work, and also as I had a meeting on the other side of the city I had to take stuff along too. It was a nice sunny day, so a simple printed dress. Haven't worn this dress as much as I expected too after I bought it, so today was it's last wear. It's feels a little more casual than some of my other work dresses, so I usually pass by it in my wardrobe in favour of another. After reading Blue Paper Laterns Closet Inventory post, I've been thinking about how many clothes I own and how rarely I wear most of them. I need to be more ruthless with removing things that aren't perfect. Maybe once I've had a few more wardrobe clearouts I'll be brave enough to try and count what I have!

Dress: French Connection black dress
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent leather logo plaque flats
Bracelets: the usual plus two metal and fabric Indigo Rose Design bracelets

Simple LBD for a Monday :) It's nice the weather is being appropriately spring-like and I can go without a jacket. Added a scarf for a bit of warmth in the morning, but didn't need it by the time I got to the office. I thought this thin belt would be nice with the dress, I usually wear thicker belts with it, but the thin one works well. Although it would look better if it wasn't coming undone in the photo I guess, haha.

Nice easy dress option again today! We had a manager from another state over so thought this was a nice professional look. A little over exposed with the photo though, I mis-judged in my rush to get the camera setup for photos as quickly as possible as a little rain shower had set in. Cooper didn't want to be in the photo as he had a nice dry spot under a tree and he wasn't moving for anyone! He isn't a fan of the rain.

The Getaway Plan Tee, Striped Maxi | Printed Top, Pencil Skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs HIllier Hobo

Here's what I wore on Sunday:

Top: The Getaway Plan circle band tee (New purchase)
Skirt: Thrifted black and white pleated striped maxi skirt from AWLQ jumble sale
Shoes: NineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual plus old Diva purple, blue and pink bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine


Relaxing Sunday after a busy Saturday. After the day time trip DFO to shop for Father's Day, we went and saw The Getaway Plan on Saturday night. Although they were all sold out of tees in my size, I have a tradition of buying a band tee every time I see someone play...so I bought this one anyway. I think it looks okay oversized, what do you think? Maybe with a less voluminous skirt next time. It was certainly very comfortable though!


Last worn: striped maxi skirt, studded ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the tee as it is a new purchase.

This top is one of the pieces I bought for myself at DFO on Saturday. Such a nice print, thought I'd pair it with a plain black pencil skirt to let the top take all of the attention. Always nice to wear a bit of colour on a Monday, so I paired it with a pink bag as well.

Wearing a new purchase and an old favourite today! Took the photos without my trench today to show off the layering better. This jumper is one of the great pieces I picked up at the op-shop at the local festival the other weekend. I think it is actually supposed to be a cropped jumper, but as I'm petite it worked out to be the perfect length for layering! :)

Messy hair and messy scarf today! Although a lady in the office complimented how "put together" I looked, I certainly didn't feel it today. Was lovely of her to say something though. Added the scarf to keep me warm in the office and in meeting rooms, but didn't need it outside during the day and in the early evening. It's starting to warm up nicely now. If only it was as warm early in the mornings too, I'd be more likely to get out of bed and have time to fix my hair before work....haha!
