Neutral Dresses - Black Maxi and Grey Skater with Hobo Bags

Don't forget to enter my JORD Wood watch giveaway! Today I'm posting two different dress outfits. A black maxi dress, and a grey skater dress. Both neutrals.


Here's what I wore to spend the day with my mum:
silk headscarf french connection black jersey maxi dress sandals summer outfit

Balenciaga tempete blue storm bal bag
Scarf: Paris print silk scarf
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus necklace in pop
DressFrench Connection Meadow jersey maxi dress in black
ShoesAsos 'five star' leather sandals
BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


I've been looking at this black maxi dress in my wardrobe thinking it needs another wear...so a trip down the coast with my mum seemed like a good day to wear it out. After noticing I don't make the most of the neutral dresses I have in my wardrobe, I've been trying to wear them more. I added the pretty scarf in my hair too for something a bit different, and as I was feeling a little 'meh' about my hair. Due for a trim again!

The teething necklace was a must-have. Baby T's been very cranky lately with teething! I loved how easy and simple this outfit was, but it looks like I put a bit of effort in and not like I've been dealing with a grizzly baby for the past few days. Maxi dresses are awesome.


Last worn: black and white scarf, black maxi dress, Asos leather sandals, Balenciaga tempete day bag.



Here's what I wore to run errands:
Asos grey neutral skater dress chloe marcie hobo bag acne pistol boots summer

Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in nut on shoulder
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
DressAsos grey skater dress (on sale!)
ShoesAcne pistol boots in "skin"
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut (on sale!)


This is what I put together for my 'day without baby'. It was baby T's first day at day care! Like most mums, I've found it tricky trying to find a place I liked that also has space to take another baby. When a spot opened up at my ideal centre, I took it. It was available a little earlier than I needed as I'm not back at work yet, but it's meant I've been able to go back to work sooner than expected.

I tried to see the positive side and focus on all the things I'd be able to do while baby T was playing at day care, but I'll be honest, I felt a bit lost without him! I was really relaxed in our morning routine, not really wanting to drop him off too soon...and of course I went back earlier than planned in the afternoon to pick him up! He didn't mind though, after the orientation day we had he's really happy with the ladies at the centre, and enjoys playing with the other babies. I think I took the day harder than he did! I did enjoy not having to time my morning errands (groceries and post office) around baby's naps and feeds, but it felt so lonely being just Cooper and I in the afternoon. Used the quiet house to film a couple more videos for my youtube channel, which has been a little neglected lately.

Spring Camis and Maxi Skirt Outfits

With the warmer weather, I've been enjoying wearing my cami tops again. I always say to myself I'll wear them over winter all layered up, but I never do, they seem to be kept for warm days.

Here's what I wore to go shopping with my mum:
Boho outfit printed cami long necklace colour block maxi skirt chloe marcie bag
NecklaceRoie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Top: Jeanswest Audrey tonal print tank
SkirtAsos colour block maxi skirt in red (on sale!)
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Another super hot day when I wore this - just like the day before! Baby T and I headed out with my mum to the local Westfield to keep cool in their air conditioning and to try get more Christmas shopping done. Had a productive trip! Mum got lots of things that she needed, and she treated baby T and I to a few things too. As we had the stroller, I took the chance to use a handbag as well as the baby bag. The baby bag rests on the stroller leaving my arms free for my own bag if I choose.

It's been over a year since I last wore this printed top. To be honest, I don't always like the way it sits as it's really long on me, so it doesn't get worn often. But I really liked wearing it tucked into the maxi skirt, so it's staying in my wardrobe for the time being.

I posted an instagram pic of this outfit - and it's my first instagram with the new "Like to Know It" service! If you sign up for Like to Know It, and you like any of my instagrams with the #liketkit hashtag, you'll get an email with all of the details of the products I've showcased. Thought I'd give it a try, let me know if you find it useful.


Last worn: printed cami, colour block maxi skirt, Wittner sandals, Chloe Marcie hobo bag.



Here's what I wore to have some visitors over:
Floral printed ruffle cami top grey marle target jersey maxi skirt outfit
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
Cami: Jeanswest 'Amber' floral print ruffle cami
SkirtTarget grey marle maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs


Still a really hot day! I'd actually picked this outfit out the day before, just like I used to do. This floral top I thought would pair nicely with the colour blocked maxi I wore previously, but I didn't like the combination when I put it together, so I ended up wearing the other printed top above. I tried the floral cami on with the grey maxi skirt instead and liked it better, so set the outfit aside to wear the next day.

We were going to have a busy morning with the other mums and bubs from our mothers group, and I'd been looking forward to it. However, baby T had a pretty disturbed night (probably due to the heat!) so I decided we'd stay home instead after running a few errands. Wore what I'd planned to anyway, and I'm glad I did as we got lots of visitors later that afternoon and I felt suitably dressed. Would have been embarrassing if I'd been having a pyjama day when people started showing up ;)

While I'm on maternity leave for a little longer, it is nice to be able to continue to wear the things in my wardrobe and not just default to jeans and a tee all the time. Although there are still some days where I just want a good denim outfit, or days when I don't even manage to get dressed, most of the time I'm trying to have fun with what I own and actually wear things in my wardrobe instead of "saving" them for special occasions.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, floral cami, grey jersey maxi skirt, Havaianas.

Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag, Third Trimester Dresses for Pregnancy: Soon Maternity and Pink Blush Maternity

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:
Soon Maternity Madeline Print Wrap Dress worn in 3rd trimester professional office wear

chloe marcie hobo bag
Necklace: sterling silver monogram necklace C/O MyNameNecklace.com.au
Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Had a big meeting Tuesday, so simple yet professional in a wrap dress. This dress is another ebay maternity wear purchase. I actually won the auction a while ago, but forgot to pay the seller right away and then the seller took a while to ship it. Unlike my last purchase, the dress was the stated size and in the stated condition, so I'm really happy with it! Again, such a bargain compared to the retail price. Feel like I'll get a lot of use out of this in my last few months of pregnancy too.

Hopefully I don't need to expand my collection of maternity clothes any further - getting difficult to see the value in maternity-specific things when I'm in the third trimester! The bump is growing though and I'm surprised how quickly I've outgrown things I was sure I'd get more wear out of. Dressing in pregnancy is always a learning experience!


Last worn: black flats, Chloe Marcie Hobo bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent purchase.



Here's what I wore to work today:
Pink Blush Maternity button sash maternity dress in burgundy with brown bag tan shoes

Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in nut brown worn on shoulder
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dressburgundy button sash maternity dress C/O Pink Blush Maternity
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in camel
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
BagChloe Marcie hobo bag in Nut


Sticking with the easy option - another maternity dress today! I liked how simple yesterday's outfit was, so went for a dress again. A little sad that these flats are starting to pinch a bit though - they are usually such comfortable shoes! Even had to put a band aid on one of my heels today. I'm blaming the heat and maybe a little bit of pregnancy swelling, haha.


Last worn: Pink Blush Maternity dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, Chloe Marcie bag (see above).

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.



Here's what I wore to work today:
Untucked tee over asos blue lace pencil skirt alexander mcqueen scarf

Scarfblack and blue Alexander McQueen paisley print scarf
NecklaceDogeared silver wishbone necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Leila' embroidered top
SkirtAsos blue textured lace pencil skirt
ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga coated stud wrap bracelet in icy blue
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?

French Connection Jersey Dress, Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC | Printed Top, Pencil Skirt, Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag

Here's what I wore on Wednesday:

Rebecca Minkoff canvas stripe mini MAC bag
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: gift from DH
DressFrench Connection star dancing jersey dress in red rust/almond
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


On Wednesday I worked from home. I wore a simple dress to keep cool, although I did end up needing the air conditioning quite early on in the morning! It was easily the hottest day of the week! Managed to take Cooper a walk before the big storm came by, although it didn't tire him out a lot and he was still a bit scared by the loud thunder.


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarers, star print dress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.



Here's what I wore to work today:

SkirtAsos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


I am beginning to conclude that empire waist tops are not helping me hide the baby bump, haha. My friend sent me a message at work asking if anyone had approached me as the bump looked particularly large today! Don't think I'll be hiding baby for much longer from my colleagues.

This top is another wardrobe find, from the small pile of clothes I spoke about on Monday. It used to be one of my favourite tops. Had a look and there are a couple of photos of me wearing it in 2009 so I'm guessing I got it around then, 5 years ago! It's going to be great over the coming months as it's very comfy.


Last worn: French Connection top, Asos grey pencil skirt, metallic gold mouse flats, Chloe Marcie hobo bag.

Friday was such a good day! Had a few last minute pressies arrive just in time (despite one of them being ordered in October!) so I wrapped them in the morning.

Just a casual shorts and singlet outfit today. A hot summer day, so shorts seemed like a good option. Really like the print of this top, although it's been a "maybe keep" option in my wardrobe for a while, I can never seem to get rid of it. Everyone needs a good animal print piece, don't you think?

This is such a comfy tee, was great for a relaxing Sunday. Did think I should have a break from the jeans and tee outfits of the past few days, but the weather was a little odd in the morning so gave up on my idea of wearing a dress. Did a closet count though, and I actually own 50 dresses!!! WAY too many. Scared to count the rest of the items in my wardrobe, but have to do something to trim it all down.


Last worn: burgundy oversized tee, apricot skinny jeans, gold Asos sandals, Chloe Paddington bag.

Nice simple weekend outfit. I decided on the maxi skirt before I realised just how windy it was, haha. Was so hard to get a good picture where the skirt wasn't blowing around all over the place. We went out to the stores in the morning which was good as it was out of the wind ;)

Today's outfit was inspired by StyleUp. I hadn't heard of it before I came across Jen at Thirties Two Cents talking about it, and I signed up to give it a try. They email you every day with an outfit idea! It's a bit hit and miss so far, for some reason they don't have the Brissy temperatures quite right yet. However, I got this outfit suggestion in my email Sunday night and knew I could recreate something very similar for today. Although I swapped the heels for flats, and went for a lace skirt instead of a printed one, the idea came from the email.


Last worn: lace pencil skirt, MbMJ mouse flats, Chloe Marcie hobo. First time I've worn the top as it's a recent purchase.

Kept everything fairly neutral after my bright monochrome orange outfit on Wednesday! Wearing the last of my new purchases from my DFO Spring accessories shopping trip on the weekend, this cute belt. A couple of times I've worn this skirt people have suggested I add a belt, so when I saw this belt in Forever New my skirt popped to mind right away! Really liked the little bit of colour the belt added, brought out some of the blue in the skirt print. 


Last worn: brown tee, vintage skirt, cut-out detail flats, Chloe Paddington bag.

I purchased this top a year ago and this is only the third time it's been worn, that's a really bad rate for such a pretty top! I definitely need to wear it more often. The top and blazer have been paired together before and I wasn't too happy with the outfit, but this time around I think it looks better with the top partially tucked in. What do you think?

A relaxing Sunday after a busy Saturday with the girls! The warm weather made it the perfect time to wear some of my newly purchased spring accessories together.

Last worn: vintage pleated skirt. The tank I've had a while but this is the first time it's been worn un-layered on the blog. Everything else was a new purchase from the weekend shopping trip!
