Neutral and Colourful Maxi Skirt Outfits for Spring

If you follow on instagram you'll know baby boy's in hospital. I still have pre-scheduled blog posts like this that will continue to be published, and he's just in as a precaution. We hope to be home for Christmas!

I enjoyed the monochrome maxi skirt outfits I wore a short time ago so much that I wore the skirts similarly again! I liked these outfits just as much as the original ones. While it's summer here in Australia, I wore these in Spring in November.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversize tee in black (also in grey)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

A simple maxi skirt and tee outfit was all that was needed for a quiet day. A little bit of shopping in the morning and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon.

Although I've had both this tee and skirt for about 2 years I was surprised to look through the blog and see this is the first time I've worn them together! It was a nice easy outfit with a little bit of colour with the necklace and purple mini MAB tote bag.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, black tee, grey jersey maxi skirt, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: black tee and leopard print, grey jersey maxi skirt and teal henley, studded gladiator sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and leopard print scarf.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace
Tank: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

This more colourful outfit was worn for a busier day. We had playgroup in the morning and then another specialist appointment for baby boy in the city in the afternoon. Thankfully my mum helped me with that last part, as although he'd run around at playgroup all morning it's still a big ask to have a toddler sit quietly in a doctor's office.

Blue being my favourite colour, of course I really liked the colour of this outfit. Not too sure about the length of the top with the skirt though. The front panel style means I can't really tuck it in a little (like I'd usually do with a long top) and still breastfeed in it. I did think the proportions were a little off, so I probably wouldn't wear these two pieces together again.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), navy breastfeeding tank, chambray maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff studded sandals (above), Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag.

Other ways to wear: navy breastfeeding tank and blush blazer, chambray maxi skirt worn two ways, Rebecca Minkoff studded sandals and stripes, Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag and gold jeans.

Navy Stripe Maxi Skirt 2 Ways with Blue and Purple

A few weeks ago I went out Christmas shopping with family. I took the opportunity to stop by a few stores and try on some clothes while someone else could wrangle the boys outside of the changerooms! I shared some of the shopping on my insta stories. As well as getting some gifts, I got a couple of things for myself.

When we reached Target I went straight for the maxi skirts and saw this pretty navy one. Luckily for me, my mum bought it for me for an early Christmas present! I was eager to wear it right away.

This was a great gift as I find the Target maxi skirts absolutely perfect. With comfortable elastic waists it's easy to get a good fit and the two I already own were some of my favourite pieces in pregnancy. Not sure about taller people as it looks more midi length on the website, but they are the perfect length for my petite self. They last too - the other two I have have been worn pretty regularly for 2 and a half years and across two pregnancies and they still look new. Really happy to be adding a third to my wardrobe.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tank: Jeanswest Jenni basic singlet in Royal Lilac purple
Skirt: gifted Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in metallic pink!)

Why I wore it:

I like blue and purple together so thought this tank would be great with the navy skirt. Added the denim jacket as it was a little cooler in the morning.

I have quite a large collection of these fitted tanks in many different colours but as I've mentioned before I'm not a fan of feeding in public in them as I feel a little too exposed. I'm trying to wear them on days like this, where I only have to be out for a little while between feeds. I popped out to do a little bit more Christmas shopping. Starting to get overwhelmed with how much there is to do to get ready - but so excited too as it will be Baby Boy's first Christmas.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, denim jacket, purple tank, Havaianas, metallic silver mini MAC. First time I've worn the skirt.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and a maxi skirt, purple tank and a pencil skirt, silver mini MAC and a dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace

Tank: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Skirt: gifted Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Unlike the purple tank above, this navy one is a special breastfeeding one and is the most discreet feeding top I have. It was perfect to wear for a specialist appointment at Mater in the city for Baby Boy, as I had to feed him in the waiting room. Wanted a big bag to carry all the files and things I needed for the appointment so my Louis Vuitton neverfull was ideal.

I thought this navy tank and skirt would be a nice pairing together. I really liked this monochrome combination. Even if the two shades of navy don't perfectly match!

The checkered print on the bag and the stripes on the skirt were a bit of a stretch to meet the "print and pattern" style challenge for #RuleBreakersClub on Instagram too.


Last worn: navy breastfeeding tank, striped maxi skirt (above), studded gladiator sandals, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: navy breastfeeding tank and blazer, studded sandals and shorts, Louis Vuitton Neverfull in the office.

Purple Skinny Jeans, Kimonos and Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Neverfull

I like my purple jeans, I like blue and purple together and I love kimonos! The outfits below combine everything together and were so comfortable to wear. Plus I'm sharing some special discount codes for Vogue's Online Shopping night that's on tonight.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Jacket: Somedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tank: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Jeans: Jeanswest 'shale' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Asos 'five star' leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

I wore this navy tank with the mauve jeans not just because I like blue and purple together but also because this top is my favourite breastfeeding outfit option for when I'm babywearing. We had to go into Mater in the city to see a specialist for baby boy. I knew I was going to have to feed him at some point so this was an ideal top. The kimono was a nice cover-up and I picked it as the birds in the print worked well for the 'gone wild' style challenge of the day.

The Louis Vuitton neverfull wasn't the best option for carrying while babywearing, but I hung it off the stroller when I needed my hands free and it was perfect for holding all the forms and things I needed to bring along to the appointment.


Last worn:Ray-Ban Wayfarer, navy breastfeeding tank, grey printed kimono, shale skinny jeans, Asos leather sandals, Louis Vuitton damier azur neverfull.

Other ways to wear: navy breastfeeding tank for a trip to the zoo, grey printed kimono and shorts, shale skinny jeans in the office, Asos leather sandals and boho dress, Louis Vuitton damier azur neverfull and maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Jacket: New Look Petite print kimono

Tee: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

The style challenge for the day was 'habitual' and jeans and a tee is one of my habits! I think it will always be one of my go-to outfit options, even though I love my maxi skirts too.

Wanted to wear blue and purple again so this navy graphic tee was nice with the purple skinny jeans. The kimono was a bit of an afterthought. While it was a warm day and I wasn't sure I'd need it, it was a little windy so I wore it just in case. Even though we were just popping out to do a little shopping and get some groceries, it was the perfect extra layer.

Same Louis Vuitton bag again too - I was too lazy to take everything when we got home from the appointment the day before so I just carried it again.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), graphic tee, navy printed kimono, purple skinny jeans, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton damier azur neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: graphic tee and maxi skirt, navy printed kimono and shorts, purple skinny jeans and boots in winter, Louis Vuitton damier azur neverfull in the office.

Louis Vuitton Neverfull, Maxi Dresses at 38 Weeks Pregnant

While baby has arrived, I've got a few more pregnancy outfits scheduled to share on the blog. Being behind with blogging has worked out well, I still have posts to share while I'm spending the majority of the newborn days in my PJs!


First up, although it's April I won't be doing a budget post wrap up. I didn't buy any new clothes or accessories in March, instead shopping for a few things for baby.

Since I didn't buy anything, I won't be sharing my purchases and just doing a my regular post with what I've been wearing. I tried to schedule as much as possible at the beginning of my maternity leave, so I had a busy couple of days of appointments and running errands. My Louis Vuitton Neverfull was a great bag to just throw everything in, and maxi dresses were easy fuss-free outfits.

What I wore: 

Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklace layered with House of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold

Dress: MEV Havana maxi dress C/O Zibibo
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

I may have been a little over enthusiastic with fitting everything in on this day! I had scheduled 4 appointments and spent the morning rushing around between them. Wanted something easy and simple to wear so a maxi dress was my first choice - instant outfit, no further thought needed. At 38 weeks pregnant I can't help but wonder if the next time I'll be wearing this dress I'll be picking it as it allows for easy breastfeeding.


Last worn: glitter belt, MEV maternity maxi dress, gold Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: glitter belt with a blue dress, maternity maxi dress and sequins for Christmas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull and a graphic tee.

Where to buy the Louis Vuitton Neverfull (Pre-Owned Bargains):

---

What I wore:

Necklace:  Jeanswest Taki necklace (C/O)

Dress: Jeanswest 'Elodie' tie dye grey jersey maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver beaded bracelet set
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, this dress wasn't my first choice for this day. I'd planned to wear my maternity denim shorts but rain got to the washing outside before I could and my shorts were too wet to wear that morning. Again I picked a maxi dress for simplicity.

It was nice to be a little dressed up for dinner with my parents at least, and this dress is great to wear, even if not what I had planned. I've used the Louis Vuitton Neverfull as a baby bag before, but this time I tried it out with just the bare essentials and it was much more comfortable.

I'm trying to go out now and then with just a little pouch inside my handbag with everything toddler T needs, instead of carrying the baby bag as well as my handbag. While a newborn will mean I'll definitely need to carry the baby bag around with me, limiting what I carry will be helpful with needing to take things for a newborn and a toddler. I'm terrible at over-packing and carrying more than I need!


Last worn: tie dye maxi dress, black Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: tie dye maxi dress for a night out, Louis Vuitton Neverfull and skinny jeans.

Maxi Skirts and Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Neverfull. Sunglasses Giveaway!

Being in the second trimester in the heat of summer has meant that I'm reaching for my shorts more than I did when I was pregnant with baby T and favoured max skirts more. I still love a great maxi skirt outfit though! Two of my recent ones below with my Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag, as well as a giveaway!

What I wore:

Tee: 'Ninja baby' maternity skeleton tee
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Asos 'five star' leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus old blue beaded bracelets
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

The return of the ninja baby tee! Definitely the most fun piece to wear in pregnancy, I enjoyed wearing my ninja baby tee last time and it's good getting to wear it again in this pregnancy. It just sets your day up right when you end up making a random couple of little old ladies giggle before you even get to the office.

Wore this out to a Christmas picnic party with my colleagues. The dress code for the day was casual as we all had been given the afternoon off for the party, and our kids were invited along too. Toddler T had a blast chasing the ibis and ignoring all the entertainment that had been put together, ha!

I picked the navy striped maxi skirt to wear with the tee, and some blue accessories, as the style challenge for the day was 'in the navy'. I was glad I picked the skirt and not jeans as it really warmed up through the day.


Last worn: ninja baby tee, striped maxi skirt, Asos leather sandals, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: ninja baby tee and skinny jeans, striped maxi skirt and a cosy knit, Asos leather sandals and skinny jeans, Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull in the office.

What I wore:

Jacket: Somedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey (on sale here!) layered with Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace
Tank: Jeanswest maternity tank in white
Skirt:  Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted turquoise and silver beaded bracelet set
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

I had to do the dreaded pregnancy glucose test on this day and the lovely lady had advised me when I booked in to bring a cardigan along as the aircon in the waiting room was quite cold. I figured the kimono would keep the chill off me enough.

I've mentioned before that I'm sometimes unsure if a kimono and maxi skirt together works, but I've been warming to the look lately and I love this kimono so much as it looks good with everything! The white tank was perfect for the 'white haute' style challenge theme for the day too.

After the unpleasant morning drinking glucose and having multiple samples of blood taken, we had a restful afternoon and then we went out that evening to see the local Christmas lights displays. We tried a new street that we hadn't visited before and it was wonderful, they had even set up a snow machine so toddler T got to experience 'snow'.


Last worn: Somedays Lovin' kimono, white maternity tank, jersey maxi skirt, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: Somedays Lovin' kimono and denim shorts, white maternity tank and stripes,  black maxi skirt in winter, Louis Vuitton Neverfull and skinny jeans.

I shared on twitter recently that I was kind enough to receive a pair of Sundried 'Aire Blue' sunglasses. They are great sunglasses, sturdy plastic and the lenses offer good sun protection, but since I almost always wear my polarised Raybans, thought I'd run a little giveaway for these.

(photos C/O Sundried, my own photo in poor lighting here)

a Rafflecopter giveaway


Giveaway is open internationally and will run for one week! You can enter via the rafflecopter form above. This is a game of skill. Winner will be selected for having commented with the most creative answer to the question 'what outfit would you wear these sunglasses with?' judged by my hubby. Good luck!

Merry Christmas!

A slightly early merry Christmas!


While I'll be having a break from blogging for a few days (although I'm sure to be on instagram a bit), I wanted to have something Christmassy posted.
I decided to do a flashback to some Christmas outfits from previous years that I could find photos for.

Over the past few years maxi dresses have been my go-to for Christmas day, and I'll be wearing a maxi dress again this year! (I've included some great ones under $100 at the end of the post too).


Fingers crossed you find your perfect gift under the tree. If you're celebrating the birth of Jesus, or just the fact that you have a day off, I hope you have a wonderful time with friends, family and food.

If you can't make it to church or want to celebrate while staying comfortable in your pajamas, check out Church Online, we have some special Christmas services running this week.

Maternity/nursing dress and gold belt

Snake print maxi dress and red Balenciaga clutch

High-low pleated maxi dress

Tie-dye maxi dress and a dressed up Cooper!

And some pre-blog golden oldies!

Corporate Style: Striped Shirts, Pencil Skirts and Camel Trench Coat

Although I've only been back at the office 6 months, and I'm only in the office two days a week, I've been feeling slightly uninspired with my office wear lately. When I do think of something to wear, I'll happily repeat it again with similar items!

Last week was printed shirts, this week wasn't really breaking away from that format too much, picking striped shirts and pencil skirts. I do like the simplicity when getting dressed, makes it easier to decide what to wear if every outfit builds on something from the previous one.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat 

Shirt: Target mint stripe shirt
Skirt: Atmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in camel
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Nice and simple: striped shirt, pencil skirt. Easy office wear. As this pencil skirt is a casual jersey fabric, I thought the slightly more formal collared shirt was a nice pairing, for a day with a few meetings.

The only downside to this shirt, that you can see in the photos, is that it's such a soft fabric it wrinkles easily. Both sides started out nicely ironed, haha!


Last worn: camel trench, mint pinstripe shirt, grey jersey pencil skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, Louis Vuitton MM Neverfull bag.

Other ways to wear: trench and a printed dress, pinstripe shirt with jeans and a baby bump, pencil skirt and Converse, flats and skinny jeans, Louis Vuitton MM Neverfull bag with jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat 

Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklace
Shirt: Jeanswest Louisa stripe sleeveless shirt (C/O)
Skirt: Jeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

As I liked the simplicity of the striped shirt and pencil skirt 'formula' above, decided to wear it again, with this newish navy tank. Last time I wore it was with jeans.

I preferred this outfit over the one above, even if I was in a bit of a rush that morning and rather sloppily tucked the shirt in! I think the navy and black is a nice colour combination.


Last worn: camel trench (above), navy striped shirt, black pencil skirt, black ballet flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Other ways to wear: camel trench outside of the office, navy striped shirt with jeans, black pencil skirt and polka dot blouse, ballet flats and a maxi skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and a little red dress.

Maxi Skirts and Graphic Tees: Dressed Up With a Cardi, Dressed Down With A Hoodie

Continuing to wear my maxi skirts as they fit my knee bandage underneath while still keeping me warm as we move into spring in Brisbane. (These pics were taken a few weeks ago near the end of winter). Decided to wear some of my grapic tees, as I haven't worn them in a while.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle

Top: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag:  Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! I've mentioned before how much I love the tee (a gift from my bestie) and I thought the purple cardi and the grey skirt worked nicely with the navy. I was really comfortable and happy in this all day. Just had some errands to run in the morning, and a checkup at the doctors with baby T.


Last worn: purple cardigan, navy tee, grey maxi skirt, black ballet flats, Louis Vuitton neverfull.

Other ways to wear: purple cardigan and a printed dress, graphic tee and a blazer, grey maxi skirt and yellow tank, black flats and a printed dress, Louis Vuitton neverfull in the office.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Rayban new Wayfarers
Jacket: Juicy Couture Long Sleeve Original Zip Hoodie in 'Silver Lining'

Tee: Threadless 'Stone Jungle' tee
Skirt:  Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes:  Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine

Why I wore it:

This is a good example of how just changing one piece of an outfit can make it look really different. I think the grey hoodie dresses the outfit down and makes it a lot more casual than the outfit above with the cardigan. Still just as comfortable though, and perfect for a morning at playgroup with toddler T.

This Threadless tee hasn't been worn in over 3 and a half years (the length of time I've been blogging what I wear). I went through my huge box of Threadless tees and sold the majority on ebay a while back, but I kept this one as it was one of the first few I ordered, and I don't have a lot of green in my wardrobe. I don't have a lot of green as I don't wear it often...as the long time between wears for this tee shows! I'm still keeping it, too sentimental to let go. At least I sold the 20+ other ones I hadn't been wearing, to justify keeping this one.


Last worn: Ray-ban Wayfarers, grey hoodie, black jersey maxi skirt, black ballet flats (above), Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: grey hoodie and jeans for a newborn photoshoot, maxi skirt and Converse, ballet flats and skinny jeans, Rebecca mini MAC and a maxi dress.
