Last time I wore this dress it was hiding the tiny baby bump! My third trimester belly really shortens the dress and made leggings an essential to wear underneath while we were out shopping on Saturday. And they helped to keep me warm too. They are just regular non-maternity leggings, I'm wearing them under the bump and thanks to the elastic waist they are staying put. Went with thongs (flip flops) on my feet due to swelling. Will probably continue to wear these despite the cooler Autumn weather, as they are comfortable and they fit. Got to be comfy as I count down to baby's arrival!

Found this cute little gold initial necklace when I was sorting through all of my things to make space for baby's nursery. Thought it worked well with the neckline of the dress, and with a lot of bracelets on my arm a delicate necklace seemed like a good balance. Can't even guess at the last time I wore it, I've had it since I was little, but it was a nice find. De-cluttering unearthed all kinds of gems!

Grocery shopping, doing a little more to set up the nursery and working at Church Online today. A nice relaxing Sunday. Although I'm on maternity leave from my office job, I'm continuing to volunteer at Church Online as usual as it's just an hour a week.

Added the scarf to keep me warm this morning as it was a little cold and windy. Thought that the little bits of red in the print paired nicely with the colour of my bag.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Ukita Bag, Third Trimester Pregnancy Work Wear

After wearing a lot of black, white and grey, I felt like some colour so I paired this cosy knit with the tartan pencil skirt and a bright bag. I really liked this bag with blue last time I wore it, so wanted to try it again.

This is quite a thick jumper so I don't wear it often, but I adore the colour every time I do. Almost a year since I last wore it, wow! Should make more of an effort to wear it over the upcoming cooler months.


Last worn: cobalt blue knit, Asos maternity pencil skirt, glitter flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ukita bag.

Emotional day today! My last day at work for a while, I have now officially commenced my maternity leave. Just had to wear the ninja baby tee as I knew everyone would get a giggle out of it. There was a morning tea in baby's honour and I got so many lovely gifts from my colleagues. It's sad to be leaving a large project right in the middle of everything, but I'm really looking forward to getting to spend time at home with baby. The last few days at work have been really tough and it will be good to have some rest before the due date.


With the cooler weather we've been having lately, just had to share that Jeanswest have an extra 30% off sale items - including some winter knits! Ends Sunday night.
