Layered Spring Outfits: Stripe Tee Dress, Heart Print Scarf, Jeans and Blazer

We had a cloudy and chilly few days which gave me the chance to add some layers (a scarf and a blazer) to my usual outfits.

Here's what I wore to go out with baby T:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black


We had an unexpected cold and rainy spring day (although nothing like what Sydney has been experiencing!) so I decided to wear long sleeves and accessorise with a scarf. This scarf probably won't get much more wear this year as it's quite warm, and the weather is heating up again. It was good to be able to wear it one last time for Spring. I'm also hoping to get more wear out of this dress this year, but again it's a thicker winter fabric and I'm not sure I'll have many more opportunities to wear it now the seasons are changing.

Had to take baby T for a quick checkup at the doctors, so I wanted something easy and cosy as I'd be baby wearing. I still haven't figured out an easy way to carry the baby bag as I wear the baby carrier, I just have to hold it in my hand and it's not the lightest of bags....but for a short trip out I prefer to baby wear rather than take the stroller.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Stella McCartney scarf, striped tee dress, Converse.

Here's what I wore to visit family and go to the shelter:

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl pinstripe blazer
Tank: Jeanswest 'Macy' ombre tank in 'very berry' 
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

It was a little chilly in the morning so I added the blazer. We left baby T with family while we went out to the animal shelter, so I had the chance to carry a handbag too as I was without the baby bag. I'm so pleased I got to wear this ombre top! I got it for Christmas last year and only had the chance to wear it once before the baby bump got too big for it. The beaded detail is so pretty.

You might have seen my post on instagram about a cute little Guinea Pig that Cooper found (and I rescued from his fluffy jaws!). After asking around the neighbours and putting up signs and leaving letters in mailboxes, no-one stepped up to claim him. We named him Popcorn, but have no idea where he came from.

We adopted Cooper from the Animal Welfare League and I knew that they also re-home Guinea Pigs, so we took Popcorn down to the shelter to find a new home after keeping him a few days. I was a little sad leaving him there, but Cooper didn't appreciate the sudden new addition to the family and I was quite worried he might eat him! They re-homed 89 guinea pigs last year so they will find Popcorn a new home in no time. Cooper is still a little upset by it all and keeps pacing the spot in the laundry where we kept Popcorn. As we stumbled across him in the street, we didn't get a chance to prepare him for the new arrival like we did with baby T.

If you know anyone in the Gold Coast or Brisbane area who might be looking to adopt a little furry family member, check out Popcorn's adoption details at the AWL! :)

Baby T has arrived, and I'm blogging less regularly as life revolves around a newborn and pyjamas are my main OOTD. I'm continuing to share my outfits when I leave the house and have time to take a photo.


Here's what I wore to pop into the city one afternoon:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print
Top: Kmart striped drop shoulder tee
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


We'd been waiting a little while for some paperwork to come through for baby T. Luckily when we found out it was ready for us to pick up, my family were visiting so we were able to leave baby at home and head into the city. As per usual, getting dressed quickly was necessary so I went with my default outfit - maxi skirt, stripes, converse and a skull scarf! Getting a little predictable, but it's good to have outfit staples to fall back on when I don't have a lot of time. Added the denim jacket to keep warm as it was cooling in the evening.

During the pregnancy I had fun playing dress up in my wardrobe now and then, to see what clothes still fit the growing bump and to come up with outfit ideas. Clothes are much further down my list of priorities now if I do get a moment of free time. I usually have a nap instead! I honestly do, you should see the housework that's being neglected ;) Life with baby means less housework, more naps.


Last worn: denim jacket, skull scarf, stripe top, target maxi skirt, Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Here's what I wore to run errands with baby T:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Scarf: Supre neon pink leopard print scarf
Jumper: Supre knit loose fit jumper in bahamas
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag


Sometimes we have appointments we can't get out of and we need to bring baby T along - despite the many offers of friends and family to baby sit. Wore this to take baby T out for an early morning appointment and to run a few quick errands. Again with a maxi skirt, but just a light knit as we weren't out long and a jacket wasn't needed. I thought the colours in the scarf worked well with the peach of the jumper, and I thought I'd better wear something other than a skull scarf for a change!


Last worn: Ray-ban, neon leopard scarf, peach knit, stripe maxi skirt, Converse (see above), Marc by Marc Jacobs baby bag.

Casual Post-Baby Outfits: Maxi Skirts and Maternity Skinny Jeans

Now that baby T has arrived, I'm blogging less regularly as life revolves around a newborn and I spend most of my days in pyjamas! But I do have to leave the PJs behind and get dressed to leave the house, and so whenever I do I'll share an outfit.


Here's what I wore to go visit family:

Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Shirt: Jeanswest 'Aubrey' pintuck yoke henley in deep teal (new purchase)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual  plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


This was taken about a week after baby's arrival - we were welcomed over to the in-laws for dinner. They very kindly suggested that we come over early, so we wouldn't be in a rush, and so that they could help look after baby for a few hours for us. It did take us about 3 hours to get ready and leave the house though, haha. At least we weren't late for dinner, as we had been planning to go over so early.

This top is one of my purchases from the Jeanswest 40% off sale before baby was born. It seemed like a nice easy option to wear, as the parcel had arrived a few days earlier. Probably could have used an ironing first, but I'm not beating myself up over it! Partially tucked the top in to the waistband of the skirt to try disguise the post-baby belly a little.


Last worn: grey maxi skirt, Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag. First time I've worn the top as it's a new purchase.

---

Here's what I wore to go on my first solo outing with baby and Cooper:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Shirt: Jeanswest 'Melanie' Stripe henley in black/coconut
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity skinny jeans in black
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag (new purchase)
Stroller: Steelcraft Strider Compact (new purchase)


Another new Jeanswest top! Again, this one was from my sale order. When we were in hospital, we got many people offering to help with housework and food preparation, so my clothes were generously washed and ironed. The tops being new additions at the front of my wardrobe means I've gone for those first though, because I'm looking for easy outfits and getting dressed as quickly as possible.

Wore this simple black and white outfit to head out for the first time with Baby T on my own - just a walk to the grocery store with baby and Cooper - and then to spend time with my family who visited us in the afternoon.

Learnt from the previous outing to my in-laws, where I still had my handbag and ended up with so much to carry, and just carried my things in baby T's bag so there was less to hold!


Last worn: Ray Ban, Jeanswest maternity skinny jeans, Converse (see above). First time I've worn the top and bag on the blog as they are recent purchases.

40 Weeks Pregnant! Stripe Tee, Maternity Skinny Jeans | Ombre Knit, Maxi Skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran

Here's what I wore on Wednesday:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue (new purchase)
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Yep, you read the title right. I'm 40 weeks pregnant. :) Baby T is definitely overdue! Still trying to keep as active as possible and making sure that I get out and about every day, as I know walking is beneficial.

Wore this simple jeans and tee outfit to go to the doctors on Wednesday. Added the scarf to keep me warm as it was a little chilly. Not the best photo of it, but it's a lovely blue skull scarf. I couldn't resist buying another skull scarf to add to my collection when Matches Fashion sent me a discount code! I really like the way they styled it on their site with the white tee and pale denim. Unfortunately I don't have any plain white tops that fit the baby bump, so went with this striped one instead. I liked the result, although I look forward to trying it with a white tee later!


Last worn: stripe tee, maternity skinny jeans, Havaianas, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag. First time I've worn the scarf as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore today:

Necklace: Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Jumper: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Today was spent on the phone mostly! Lots of people calling and texting to see how things were going and if there are any signs of baby's arrival. I'm really feeling loved, with everyone checking in hoping all is still well, asking how I am and giving us encouragement.

Comfy knit and maxi skirt outfit today as I had another acupuncture appointment this afternoon. Loose layers are good to wear when getting poked with needles. And I'm pleased this stretchy knit still fits the bump. Looks very different from the last time I wore it! Thought that the ombre effect looked nice with the stripes, what do you think?

Casual Third Trimester Outfits: Stretchy Tops and Maxi Skirts. RM Mini MAC and MbMJ Fran Bags

Here's what I wore on Monday:

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl pinstripe blazer (new purchase)
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Singlet: Jeanswest 'Jenni' singlet in indigo blue
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Had a few errands to run on Monday and an acupuncture session. As it was a little chilly in the morning, decided to wear the other blazer I found at the op-shop on my shopping trip a few weeks back. I think it looks okay, although there really is no chance of it being buttoned over the giant baby bump, haha! Was easy to take off and on as the temperatures changed through the day.


Last worn: Jeanswest blue singlet, Target grey maxi skirt, Havaianas, metallic mini MAC. First time I've worn the blazer as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore today:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Tee: Roger and Peach screen printed doily heart tee in lilac bought at the Rocks Markets in Sydney
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Another simple maxi skirt outfit, this time with a pretty pastel tee. Spent lots of time relaxing today, so this was a nice comfortable outfit. Looked okay for a doctor's appointment and lunch with DH too.

I really am so glad I discovered stretchy maxi skirts work just as well during pregnancy as they do before it. They have been the most comfortable things to wear, and I feel more put together than if I was walking around in trackie dacks. Although I do confess that trackie dacks are my outfit of choice when I'm at home bouncing on my exercise ball to relieve some of the pregnancy back aches! Much more practical than a skirt in that situation.


For those of you who can still shop online without worrying that you'll miss the parcel arriving as you're in hospital having a baby...thought I'd share, Asos are having a dress sale.

Jeanswest Maternity Denim Skinny Jeans in Third Trimester and 40% Off Sale

Here's what I wore on Tuesday:

Shirt: 'Ninja baby' maternity skeleton tee
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Wore my ninja baby tee to the OB's office on Tuesday, as I thought she would get a giggle out of it. She did, and so did the receptionist. Our next appointment is actually on baby's due date, so I wanted to take the chance to wear the tee to Tuesday's appointment in case baby shows up early. It's looking like baby wants to stay in longer than planned at the moment though, so on the plus side I'll probably have more chances to wear this fun tee :)

Incredibly similar to the last time I wore this tee, just with different accessories.


Last worn: ninja baby tee, maternity skinny jeans, Havaianas, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Here's what I wore today:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Jeans:  Jeanswest maternity skinny jeans in black
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine


Jeans and a tee again today! Added a bright bag for a bit of colour. I love these stretchy oversized tees, I have a handful of them and they are perfect. They drape so nicely without the bump, and yet they are oversized and baggy enough to still fit the baby bump at 38 weeks.

Thought that my maternity wardrobe would look a lot like this and that I'd be wearing jeans and tees more often, based on what my wardrobe was like before pregnancy. My regular wardrobe definitely has more jeans than skirts! I've favoured maxi skirts and dresses more, maybe because of the hot temperatures. These jeans are great though, really comfortable and I've never even considered trying another brand of maternity jeans as the Jeanswest ones are perfect for me.

Jeanswest have another 40% off sale at the moment - online and in store, and it includes already reduced sale items!

Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag, Print Mixing. Asos Pencil Skirt, Jeanswest Paisley Dress and Ankle Boots

Here's what I wore on Wednesday:

Scarf: Grey and pink leopard print scarf from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Necklace: Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Tilda' black shirt
Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black
Bracelets: the usual plus pastel friendship bracelet C/O Seri Marea Jewellery
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Simple black and white outfit for Wednesday. Really starting to struggle with finding nice things to wear to work now in the final few weeks of pregnancy. I'm quite looking forward to finishing up soon, and being a lot more casual with what I wear. Based on some previous pregnancies in the office, I know the levels of dress code I can drop to, but I want to try and look as professional as possible despite my limited choices. This was comfortable all day though, and was good to wear to our parenting class after work as well.

Thought that the little bit of print mixing with the leopard scarf and tartan skirt worked well due to the similar colours - what do you think?


Last worn: grey and pink leopard print scarf, Jeanswest black shirt, Asos maternity pencil skirt, two tone flats, Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran.

Here's what I wore to work and out for dinner today:

Necklace: House of Harlow 5 station necklace in black and silver
Dress: Jeanswest 'Melanie' paisley mixed print dress (new purchase)
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Asos Aggie leather western ankle boots in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac and purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


More print mixing, and I got to wear my maternity tights! I purchased these tights a couple of months ago when we had a little bit of a cold snap, figuring they would be essentials for the pregnancy. Just wearing them now at 36 weeks, so not as essential as I thought! They were only $8 from Target so I'm not feeling too bad about the purchase.

Picked a pretty dress to wear to work and after today, as we had a birthday dinner for my sister in the evening. The tights kept me warm and the dress was suitable for work and dinner, which saved me trying to find a second outfit to wear for the evening, hehe! I bought this dress in the Jeanswest sale as I loved the paisley print and the subtle print mixing, and guessed it would have no problems accommodating the third trimester baby bump despite being non-maternity.


I've been wearing my Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag a bit this week, but that will change now I have a new handbag purchase! Short reveal video of my latest splurge:

Yep, another Marc by Marc Jacobs bag!

Last worn: Asos ankle boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran (see above). First time I've worn the dress as it's a new purchase.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag and Scarves. Jeanswest Maternity Shirt and Skinny Jeans | Stripe Top and Grey Maxi Skirt

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs print scarf in croc-print
Top: Jeanswest 'Felicity' maternity shirt in amethyst
Pants: Jeanswest maternity skinny jeans in black
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Rugged up against the cold on Monday with a scarf, although in the chilly morning I did wish I had added a jacket too. Was really sad when I noticed a huge tear in the back of this shirt in the evening - no idea if I had been walking around like that all day!

Had been hoping to keep on wearing this top and use it as a nursing top. Tucked into jeans or a skirt it would have looked awesome and been really practical with the buttons. Unfortunately, no way to repair the tear at the seam. I paid $9 for it and got 3 wears out of it, not too bad I guess. Definitely would have worn it more if it had stayed together.


Last worn: Marc by Marc Jacobs printed scarf, amethyst maternity shirt, Jeanswest maternity skinny jeans, black flats, Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Here's what I wore to work from home today:

Scarf: Burberry cashmere tartan scarf
Top: Jeanswest 'Marina' stripe henley (new purchase)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


This shirt is one of the pieces I picked up in the last Jeanswest 40% off sale. Because I can never turn down something striped, haha! Hopefully I won't manage to tear a hole in this one..... ;)

When this parcel arrived I tried this top on with what I was wearing, the grey maxi skirt. I thought it was a good combination, so decided I'd wear it this way on it's first outing. Plus the scarf to keep me warm when I went out to the doctors. Had to wear thongs (flip flops) though as I puffed up a bit today and shoes were out of the question! Couldn't even get my rings on in the morning!


Last worn: Burberry tartan scarf, grey maxi skirt, Havaianas, MbMJ Fran handbag (see above). First time I've won the shirt as it's a recent purchase.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag, Non-Maternity Clothes in Third Trimester. Grey Tee, Maxi Skirt, Aztec Print Dress

Here's what I wore on Tuesday:

Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Top: Asos new forever grey tee (on sale!)
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Worked from home on Tuesday as I had a doctor's appointment, so wore a simple tee and maxi skirt outfit. Was very comfortable all day! Maxi skirts are fantastic in pregnancy. Especially stretchy elastic waist ones like this one. Plus being non-maternity, I can wear them after pregnancy too. I think this skirt would look great with boots in cooler weather!


Last worn: Asos grey tee, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Shoes: New Look brown cut-out detail shoe
Bracelets: the usual plus jade beads and Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


While I was tempted to wear a maxi skirt to the office today....I tried to still dress professionally. I know my office has a very casual dress code, and that when it comes to pregnancy they relax the rules even further for us, but I'm "saving" the maxi skirt outfits for the last few weeks at work when I'm sure I'll have nothing else to fit me, haha.

Went with one of my old favourites - my Jeanswest Aztec print dress. Still trying out some current non-maternity wardrobe options that I think will work, so that I can have more than just a few go-to outfits in the third trimester.


Last worn: Aztec print dress, tan belt, brown flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag (see above).

Oversized Tees. Maternity Shorts, RM Mini MAC, Skull Scarf | Asos Graphic Print Pencil Skirt, MbMJ Fran Bag

Here's what I wore on Sunday:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: Marc by Marc Jacobs blossom pocket tee in grey
Shorts: Jeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


Funny weather on Sunday - I had my scarf off and on all day as the rain came in now and then to cool things down. Picked a simple shorts and tee outfit as we had a dog trainer helping us with Cooper, to make sure that he is prepared when baby arrives. I wasn't sure how active we would be, so shorts seemed like a good choice. It's going to be a bit of a shock for Cooper when we arrive home with baby, so we want to make the transition go smoothly for him so he doesn't feel left out.


Last worn: red skull scarf, Marc By Marc Jacobs tee, maternity denim shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff canvas mini MAC.

Oversized tee and pencil skirt combination again today! As I get further into the third trimester and baby grows larger, I'm more and more amazed by the ladies at work who managed to stay stylish and professional through their pregnancies. They made it all look very easy! I certainly felt under-dressed when I checked my calendar at work the morning and realised I had a huge meeting in the afternoon.

In my current project at work there are 3 pregnant ladies, and one of the guys is expecting his second child with his partner. While it's funny that this project seems to be the "baby" project, it's great that we can all share tips and advice with each other as first time mums. It is definitely baby year in the office, there are 3 other babies due in the wider team as well!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Carob Brown Fran Bag. Floral Tank, Stripe Maxi Skirt | Grey Knot Top, Asos Maternity Pencil Skirt

Here's what I wore on Tuesday:

Necklace: Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace
Top: Jeanswest floral print brown ribbed tank
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Asos metallic Freestyle leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted gold bangle set
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Had the day off work on Tuesday to attend a doctor's appointment and do some extra tests. Was a very busy and stressful morning, I ended up making up for it with a very lazy afternoon on the couch with Cooper!

This top is one that's never been on the blog before, and in fact I'm not sure when I wore it last. It was an old favourite of mine I used to wear lots in my uni days that I rediscovered and pulled out of my wardrobe for the "last wear before it goes" test. And it's staying in my wardrobe! I used to love this top so much I just can't get rid of it. Plus it's currently fitting the bump quite well! Thought that the white floral print on the top would pair nicely with the white striped maxi skirt.


Last worn: striped maxi skirt, Asos gold sandals, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag. First time I've worn the tank on the blog, although it's an old item.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Top: Temt grey knot front top
Skirt: Asos graphic print pencil skirt on sale! (maternity version here)
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


This top is another top that hasn't been worn in the 2 years I've had this blog. I actually bought it back in 2009 when I needed some new clothes for a "proper" office job where I wasn't allowed to wear denim, a huge change to my wardrobe at the time. It's sat in my closet since then, with tags on(!) until today. Don't even remember why it's never been worn, but grateful to have it as it's a great non-restrictive pregnancy top!

Had to take photos inside today as it was so rainy this morning! It did clear up later though. Had the benefit of a big white wall to take photos against in the nursery after clearing out all of my clothes and accessories. Took a little video of what it looked like before - will be sure to take an after video once everything's in place for baby's arrival! :)

Last worn: maternity pencil skirt, Wittner black flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran (see above). First time I've worn the top although it's an oldie.
