Third Trimester Casual Weekend Maxi Skirt Outfits and Rebecca Minkoff Berry Stripe Mini MAC Bag

Here's what I wore on Saturday:

Jacket: Just Jeans paisley print kimono jacket
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Top: Jeanswest brown marle singlet
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in "skin"
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


The weather really cooled off this weekend. Had planned to wear just this singlet and maybe a scarf, but it was so cold Saturday morning I needed a jacket and boots. Although I did end up going sock-less in the boots to be sure that my swollen feet would still be able to fit in them at the end of the day, haha! Had my hair cut on Saturday, had been needing to do so for a while but I'd just kept forgetting to make an appointment. Baby brain at its worst!

I've often thought about and tried to pair this kimono with maxi skirts and dresses before, but it just seemed like a little too much volume. I tried it on and really liked it this time around though. Maybe because the baby bump sticks out so much so it doesn't look like I'm drowning in fabric.


Last worn: paisley kimono, tank, black maxi skirt, Acne Pistol boots, Rebecca Minkoff stripe mini MAC.

Here's what I wore today:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
Top: Topshop grey knitted scoop neck top
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


Was hoping to get a nice photo of my new haircut today but the wind had other plans in mind! At least in this shot my hair wasn't over my face ;) Not a drastic change anyway, just cutting a bit off the ends, a little more than usual as I'd left it so long between trims.

This outfit was good - kept me cosy and comfortable for running errands, going out for lunch, having family over, and working at Church Online. Wasn't brave enough to wear my usual weekend shoe choice of thongs (flip flops) as it was so cold, so I went with converse to keep my feet warm. I really liked converse with this skirt last time I wore it too. Now I'm wearing maxi skirts more I'm finding I can pair them with any types of shoes - not just sandals. They look great with flats, boots and converse!

That's one of the fun things about this pregnancy - I'm trying new things as I dress to accommodate the growing bump. Thank you for following and reading along, your support and suggestions and improvement ideas are so helpful. :)


Last worn: Alexander McQueen skull scarf, Topshop grey knit, striped maxi skirt, black converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC (see above).

Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag Again. Jeanswest Tie Dye Maxi Dress, Knot Detail Top, Maternity Skinny Jeans

Here's what I wore on Sunday:

Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Dress: Jeanswest 'Elodie' tie dye grey jersey maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Nice relaxed outfit for a very relaxed Sunday. Had my first (and definitely not last!) pregnancy massage. I'd been thinking about splurging on one, and when we went to our classes last week the midwife strongly recommended it. So glad she did, gave me the push I needed to book one. Could not rate it highly enough, it was wonderful.

Had such a lazy afternoon afterwards, and Church Online in the evening. A comfortable maxi dress was perfect, and I tied my hair back in a messy bun again as it was a bit humid in the morning before the storm rolled in.


Last worn: tie dye maxi dress, Havaianas, Balenciaga tempete day.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: sterling silver monogram necklace C/O MyNameNecklace.com.au
Top: Temt grey knot front top (with white singlet underneath)
Pants: Jeanswest maternity skinny jeans in black
Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Carrying my Balenciaga day bag again! I really do love this bag! When I first got it I wore it for 3 months straight....it's just such a nice bag to wear.

No Cooper in the photos today as he didn't want to step outside in the rain! It was a little chilly and rainy this morning, so jeans seemed like a good option to keep me warm. Have noticed I've been wearing a lot of blacks and greys lately - just easier to wear and pair with things when I'm running out of clothes that fit an outfit ideas ;) I'm getting very unimaginative at 34 weeks pregnant. Thankful for the blog, I can get inspiration from other pregnant ladies and it gives me a little incentive to try wearing different things rather than just wearing the same thing every day. Handbags excluded!


Thank you to everyone who bid on my auctions in my ebay wardrobe clear out. Only 2 handbags left for sale, both open to offers!


Last worn: grey knot front top, maternity skinny jeans, glitter flats, Balenciaga tempete day (see above).

Here's what I wore on Wednesday:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Wednesday was a long day, so wore this dress again to be comfortable. After work, DH and I had our first antenatal class at the hospital. It was really good, answered a lot of questions for us and we got a bit of a tour. So exciting how close we are getting to baby's arrival! I thought about getting changed for the class, but figured the dress would be fine. There were a few people who had come directly from work like ourselves too. I've never been around so many pregnant ladies in one place before, was interesting seeing how everyone dressed for their bumps.


Last worn: Soon Maternity wrap dress, cap toe flats, Balenciaga sorbet city.

Pink Balenciaga city bag again today! Although it's not Friday, this post will be live on my blog on Friday, so had to have a little bit of pink in support of Renae :) Pink accessories seemed like a good choice, and it means I didn't have to change my bag.

Just a simple pencil skirt and tee outfit again. I really wish I'd bought more colours or even a backup of this tee when it was still made - it really is the perfect tee! It's even able to handle the second trimester and third trimester baby bumps and still look good!


Don't forget I'm selling some items on ebay as part of my wardrobe clear out. A mix of clothes (regular and maternity), accessories and even handbags too. Everything ships internationally :)

They have another sale on at the moment too...and I bought more things... I can't resist the sales, I should subscribe from the emails! The scarf was a good addition for a bit of print mixing and to keep me warm as it was a little chilly in the morning.


Last worn: purple leopard print scarf, grey maxi skirt, Havaianas, Balenciaga sapphire city. first time I've worn the tank as it's a recent purchase.

Are you sick of this dress yet? haha! I'm not! I'm planning to wear it every week for the rest of my pregnancy, it's just such a good maternity work wear option. Had a big meeting this afternoon so I felt appropriately dressed.

Added some colour with the shoes, bag and scarf as I don't tend to wear a lot of colour with this dress and wanted to change that. The scarf is a new purchase from Reebonz a while back to use up some more of my credits, bought in anticipation of the weather cooling down! I can't even resist sales when the items are for another season!

And yet more sale talk.... the ShopBop friends and family sale is on now! 25% off everything - including sale items! - with code 'INTHEFAMILY14'

Maxi Dresses and Glitter Belts! Third Trimester Baby Bump Dressing

Here's what I wore for casual Friday:

Jacket: no label white drape jacket
Necklace: Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace
Dress: French Connection Meadow jersey maxi dress in black
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Took advantage of the "casual" aspect of casual Friday and wore a maxi dress to the office! This outfit is actually an idea I'd had for a while, but had saved for the third trimester when I knew I'd be finding it difficult picking what to wear to work. I really like the drape on this jacket, and thought it kept the maxi dress from looking too informal. Got a few compliments, and a few "wow your bump is huge!" comments so I consider it a good outfit, haha.

Can't believe I've only worn this jacket once before on the blog though - definitely should be wearing it more often!


Last worn: black maxi dress, waterfall drape jacket, gold glitter belt, studded Balenciaga sandals, Balenciaga sorbet city.

Here's what I wore today:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: House of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold
Dress: MEV Havana maxi dress C/O Zibibo
Belt: Kmart thin black glitter belt
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus silver charm bracelet
Bag: Chanel vintage quilted lambskin flap from Reebonz


Another maxi dress! I think my pregnancy dressing is getting even more theme based than before. If something worked one day, I want to wear something really similar the next! It does make figuring out what to wear easier :)

This is what I wore this evening, for a family birthday dinner. I wore a similar outfit during the day, without the belt and with my Louis Vuitton neverfull. We spent the day with my father in law, and test drove another car. In the evening we went out for dinner with family and friends, then had cake and champagne (of course I skipped the champagne!). Was a really nice way to end the day.


Last worn: Ray-Bans, MEV Havana maxi dress, Kmart black glitter belt, Balenciaga sandals (see above), vintage Chanel flap bag.

Necklace: House of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold
Top: Kmart plain brown tee
Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here) Get extra 20% off with code 'YES20'
Shoes: Novo 'Camilla' brown bow flats

Bag: Balenciaga classic work in 2006 Rouille


Had a meeting with my manager today but still kept my outfit simple and comfortable - tee and pencil skirt! I wanted to recreate this entire outfit again, but decided I could make it look just a little different if I swapped out the tee ;) With the size of my wardrobe I certainly wasn't spoiled for choices for another top to wear, haha!


Last worn: brown tee, Asos tartan pencil skirt, Novo flats, Balenciaga rouille work.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Top: Jeanswest 'Leila' embroidered top

Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga classic work in 2006 Rouille


Another pencil skirt and tee combo! Loved it pre-pregnancy, love it still during pregnancy. I'm lucky to have a very relaxed business casual workplace so I can wear tees to the office Monday to Thursday. That's made maternity dressing a lot easier. I think if I had to wear business professional every day I would have had to invest in some key maternity pieces like suits and work pants, which would have been trickier to find.
I thought the embroidered detail on this top worked well with the print on the skirt, but it doesn't show up well in photos. Did forget how badly this shirt wrinkles with the bump though, felt a bit sloppy by the end of the day!


Last worn: embroidered top, Asos maternity pencil skirt, Wittner black flats, Balenciaga work (see above).


Asos currently have a sale on at the moment, and you can get an extra 20% off sale with promo code 'YES20'! Great time to buy :) Ends 16th April.

Casual Weekend Maternity Wear - Third Trimester Maxi Skirts and Bright Bags

Here's what I wore on Saturday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace:  gifted beaded statement necklace from local markets
Top: Cotton On 'eternity' tank in charcoal marle
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH


Busy Saturday! We test drove another car, stopped by the in-laws and did some more baby shopping :) Wanted to be comfortable and cool with the heat. Picked my usual pregnancy default of a maxi skirt, and as I'd worn a grey tank decided to add some colour with accessories. Thought that the bright yellow clutch looked quite nice with the yellow stones in the necklace.


Last worn: Ray-ban wayfarer, grey marle tank, black maxi skirt, Havaianas, Balenciaga mangue clutch.

Here's what I wore today:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: House of Harlow 5 station necklace in black and silver
Top: Oscar's Law 'Break the puppy trade' tee
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine


Maxi skirt again! They really are the easiest pregnancy outfit option - especially on hot days! Added some colour to my outfit with my cute little aquamarine RM mini MAC bag.  Felt this tee was a good one to wear today with puppy farming and the sale of puppies in pet stores being in the news again recently. I don't agree with selling dogs in pet stores at all, 'adopt don't shop' is what I always say! :) We adopted Cooper from our local shelter and we are so grateful to have our furry little pup! You can sign a petition here to ask Westfield to stop pet stores selling animals in their shopping centres if you are interested.

Mulberry Foggy Grey Alexa Bag. Oversize Tee, Asos Tartan Pencil Skirt. Casual Friday Maternity Tank, Skinny Jeans

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette

Top: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversize tee in black (new purchase)

Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)

Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black mouse flats patent leather

Bracelets: the usual plus pastel friendship bracelet C/O Seri Marea Jewellery

Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

This oversized tee is the other one from my order last week. So pleased with how comfy these tees are, and how well they fit the bump. Don't even care that it makes it the third version of this top that I own, as they are all different colours. ;)

I felt great all day in this outfit. Lucky to work in an office where I can pair tees and pencil skirts and still meet the dress codes. Added a bit of colour with my Mulberry Alexa bag to avoid wearing too much black.

Last worn: Ray-ban Wayfarers, Asos tartan maternity skirt, patent mouse flats, Mulberry Alexa bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore today:

Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue

Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black

Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac

Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

A few degrees cooler today so I brought out my maternity jeans again for casual Friday. :) Picked up this Asos top a while ago for a bargain in one of their sales. The only downside is that, like most maternity tops, it's a bit long on my short frame. I've only worn it once before, in my little pregnancy announcement video, when I could tuck it into the maxi skirt. Although it was really cheap, I should probably try to get more than one wear out of it, so decided to wear it again today. I find that there are some maternity tops I can only really wear with skinny jeans, as they are too long with skirts and I'm past the stage where I can comfortably tuck things in that the waist, haha. It's why I'm trying to wear my normal tops as much as possible.

If you haven't already seen, the Rebecca Minkoff Friends and Family sale is on now! 25% off everything, including sale items, with code 'RMFAM'.

If we didn't have more baby things to buy, I'd definitely be picking up something in the sale! There are so many cute bags :)

Last worn: Ray ban (see above), Asos maternity tank, maternity skinny jeans, two tone flats, Mulberry Alexa (see above).

Rebecca Minkoff Grey Mini MAB, Lace. Jeanswest LBD, MEV Blue Bubble Tank, Asos Pencil Skirt

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

Necklace: Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Gisele' contrast lace dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


After Monday's too long top and Tuesday's too short top frustrating me a little, I went with a simple dress today. It got lots of compliments, as it is a very pretty dress. Even got told in one of my meetings that I looked cute which really made me smile :) Unfortunately, as it's a standard dress and not a maternity dress, I did feel myself tugging it back down as the elastic waistband rode up over the bump through the day, haha. Maybe a belt would have helped it stay in place better.


Last worn: black lace dress, Wittner black flats, Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Top: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Skirt: Asos blue textured lace pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


More lace! Wanting to feel feminine and pretty and so I've been going for lace it seems. This skirt is starting to be stretched beyond it's comfort zone now, although I'm hoping I can still get a few more wears out of it before baby arrives. For a non-maternity piece, it's made it through into the third trimester with me which is great. I had a lady come up to me at work today and ask how I was still managing to squeeze into this skirt with the baby belly - she was surprised the skirt had an elastic waist as she'd always assumed it was a normal zipper like most pencil skirts. All my zipper/button up pencil skirts are definitely unwearable now though!

With flowy/oversized tops, dresses and elasticated waist skirts, I'm pleased I'm managing to keep using my regular wardrobe as much as possible during pregnancy. Means spending less money on maternity clothes and more money on cute baby clothes ;)


Last worn: MEV bubble tank, Asos blue lace pencil skirt, grey studded mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB (see above).

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.

Weekend Outfits: Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag. Singlet and Maxi Skirt | Striped Dress

Here's what I wore on Saturday:

Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Top: Jeanswest 'Jenni' basic singlet in Hawaii blue (new purchase)
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Saturday I was lucky enough to get squeezed into a place to do more medical tests at late notice. Lots of tests is not the best way to start the day. Brekkie at McDonalds with Mum after, and then browsing baby stores with DH in the afternoon made sure that the day ended better! Wanted to be comfortable all day, so went with a singlet and maxi skirt.

Some days I feel like all I want to wear is this combination of maxi skirt and singlet! It's great in pregnancy, I even picked up a few more bright singlets in the Jeanswest sale. But I do have to go to work and I'm trying to put in a little bit of an effort to dress professionally there. Some of the ladies in the office made it look so easy during their pregnancies! Can't promise that I won't end up in this comfy 'uniform' every day as baby's due date gets nearer, but for now I am trying to enjoy dressing the bump in different ways and mix things up a little so it doesn't get too repetitive. :)


Last worn: black maxi skirt, thongs, Balenciaga tempete day bag. First time I've worn the top as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore today:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
Dress: Three Dots stripe maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga coated stud wrap bracelet in icy blue
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Today's outfit was completely inspired by Londyn! My planned second day in a row maxi and singlet combo was put aside after she posted some pics of her rocking a striped dress and her adorable baby bump. I wanted to try and emulate her look. This is a similar dress I picked out, but I think it lacks the classy look of her outfit. Maybe I should have tried a belt? Was comfortable for a day of running errands and working at Church Online though.
