PantsJeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue

A very blue outfit! :) On Friday we had a team meeting to celebrate a few work achievements and milestones, and I wasn't sure what to wear. My sister had given me a fun ninja baby tee at Christmas, but I also thought I should be a little professional as one of the things we were there for was a work achievement of mine. Ended up wearing my striped shirt to be on the safe side. Although when my manager mentioned my baby news as another reason to celebrate I did wish I'd worn the fun tee, haha!

When I first got this shirt for Christmas I commented that it had plenty of room for a growing baby bump, but I probably won't be able to wear it much longer! So pleased to see baby is on track.


Last worn: striped shirt, maternity skinny jeans, glitter flats, Balenciaga day bag.



Here's what I wore today:

DressAsos tribal necklace dipped hem black dress
Shoes: Novo 'Tahnee' black studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff hobo - Nikki in Silverstreak


Simple outfit for a Saturday. Went with this dress which requires no extra accessorising as I was feeling a little uninspired for what to wear today with the heat. I suspect that I will be wearing a lot more dresses over the next few months!

Funny that last time I wore this dress I was wearing it because the oversized shape hid my then little baby bump quite well - definitely no hiding it now!


Last worn: beaded neckline dress, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Nikki hobo.

Was remembrance day today, although I unfortunately failed to remember during my morning meeting and worried I may have talked through the moment of silence.....

This dress is another of my "not worn in a while so should try to wear again" items. Been 8 months since I last wore this dress! I remember wearing it every couple of weeks when I first got it. I could wear heels a lot more often then though. Paired it with tights as the stormy rainy weather was supposed to continue, although it seemed to hold off until the evening.

Thought that the purple scarf would add a nice touch of colour, and I really like wearing this as a belt :)

I have been trying not to splurge on clothes or accessories for myself lately and wear what I already own, but caved in when I saw these cute mouse flats on sale! Knew they would be a great neutral for summer and the warmer months, and I really miss my old gold flats after I wore them to pieces. Plus you can never have too many mouse flats! :) thought about it for a day before I purchased them, which gave me time to think about it and also meant that the package arrived at my desk on Monday morning. Nice way to start the week and meant I could wear them today.

Casual Friday: Jeans, Striped Top, Rocco Bag | Tank, Maxi Skirt, RM Nikki Hobo

Here's what I wore to work on Friday:


Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
TeeLiving Doll stripe 3/4 sleeve top
Jeans: Sass and Bide "Straight up" jeans
ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual
BagAlexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon


Always predictable, jeans for casual Friday :) Covered up a little with this shirt as it was overcast and the weather was predicted to get cooler and storm a little. Forgot to pack an umbrella though, which meant I got soaked on the way home as the rain set in, haha. Meant it was a good night for comfort food for dinner and curling up on the sofa watching a movie.


Last worn: stripe top, skinny jeans, glitter flats, Alexander Wang Rocco bag.



Here's what I wore today:


Sunnies: Orange sunglasses from Paddy's Market in Sydney
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Singlet: Cotton on caramel 'Forever Tank' in caramel
Skirt: Seafolly runaway maxi skirt in sunset (purchased at DFO Brisbane)
ShoesAsos metallic Freestyle leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Silverstreak


I will be honest, I spent a bit of time trying to find the perfect orange or yellow top in my wardrobe to wear with this to have a full obmre sunset outfit going on! Nothing seemed to match quite right, so I went with this nice brown tank in the end. Probably best, I might have gotten strange looks from people wondering if I was dressing up as a sunset for Halloween, haha!


Last worn: orange sunniesbrown singlet, ombre maxi skirt, Asos freestyle sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Nikki bag.

DressFrench Connection black dress
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs patent leather logo plaque flats
Bracelets: the usual plus two metal and fabric Indigo Rose Design bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Silverstreak


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.

Leather Jacket, Fitted Shirt, Pencil Skirt, Sarah Conners Bag | Black Tee, Printed Skirt, RM Nikki

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

JacketAsos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Necklace: gift from DH
Top: thrifted Ben Sherman ladies shirt (New purchase)
SkirtWarehouse blue jacquard pencil skirt
ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual
BagSarah Conners python bag in ebony


Bare legs! It was predicted to be really warm on Monday, so decided to go without tights. Warmed up nicely during the day, and I didn't miss them much. So happy for Spring!
This shirt is the other pieces I picked up at the op-shop at the local festival a while ago. Couldn't believe I found a new Ben Sherman shirt in my size! Definitely a lucky find. Tried to dress it down a little and not be too formal by leaving it un-tucked over my skirt, although I think it would look nice tucked in too.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, navy and black pencil skirt, glitter flats, Sarah Conners bag. First time I've worn the shirt as it was a recent purchase.

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Silverstreak


Bare legs again today! This outfit is inspired by a lovely lady I walked past in the street the other day, who if she wasn't wearing this skirt, was wearing one extremely similar. Really liked the look of the plain long sleeve black top with the skirt, and was able to recreate her outfit for myself. Unfortunately, the dreaded knee brace is back as last night I managed to slip and twist my knee. So I wore my comfiest flats too.

We couldn't catch a later showing as I had church. We might try again next weekend!

Just a nice lazy option for work on Wednesday - printed dress and nice bright bag. Although when I had to unexpectedly go to another office for a meeting I did wish I hadn't worn brand new shoes, haha. They've broken in nicely now.

This is one of two pairs of shoes I got in the 65% off sale Wittner had a week or so ago. I'll try get better pics next time I wear them, without Cooper's tail in the way!

Close up of accessories and bag:


Cooper was helping with outfit pictures again today. Love his cute little face!

Thought I'd add a little more colour to my already bright dress today with the bandeau scarf. the only problem, as you can see in the pictures, is that during the day it tends to fold over itself a little bit. I still enjoy wearing it though, such lovely colours in it.


The sunnies were last worn here, dress here, bandeau here, shoes here and bag here.

Knee brace

Wore my studded target LBD today with my trusty knee brace. Yesterday I slipped and nearly fell over, luckily I kept my balance. I managed to stop myself falling by putting all my weight on my right knee, my old knee injury. It didn't look elegant, but it stopped me falling over! I was in a lot of pain this morning, so the knee brace went back on.

Kept the rest of my outfit simple so as not to draw attention to my knee. Thankfully, no-one asked about it.

Dress: Target
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga Silver Giant Triple Tour Bracelet in Rose Bruyere from HGBags online
Shoes: New look
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in silverstreak

Closeup of accessories:

DH, Cooper and I curled up inside tonight with some takeout to listen to the rain and rest up my knee. It was nice :)
