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

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

NecklaceDogeared silver wishbone necklace
DressJeanswest 'Gisele' contrast lace dress
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
BagRebecca 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.

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 time I wore this dress I was using it to disguise the tiny baby bump I had going on. The gathering at the stomach also compliments an established bump well I think.

Was good to have an easy and simple dress to wear on Monday, and my favourite bag, after having a bit of a disagreement with my wardrobe on Sunday evening realising that there are some non-maternity dresses I just can't wear any more, haha. Packing some things away sooner than I thought I would, due to underestimating how well baby's growing. On the plus side, some dresses went straight into the donate pile, so freed up more wardrobe space! :)

No outfit for Tuesday as I was unwell. Baby and I are doing fine now, although I was told to rest up for the day as a precaution.

Today I went for my comfortable default of a tee and pencil skirt for work, and lots of blue. Knew I would be extra busy and have lots to catch up on after missing work on Tuesday.

I like pairing this pencil skirt with grey a lot, but haven't tried stripes before so thought I'd give it a go when I saw this top hanging in my wardrobe. I think the print mixing worked okay, what do you think?

BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Simple outfit for a hot Sunday! We ended up going out for lunch, so I thought I'd try wear some proper sandals instead of thongs all the time. Picked my pink Balenciaga ones for a bit of colour. Still not sure if it was too much with the busy printed dress, but I was happy when I wore it.

Bag: gifted Corelli metallic and white handbag


Felt a little cold this morning so added a nice big scarf to keep me cosy on the way to work. It's really hot during the days, but every now and then I wake up and feel like it's a really cold morning. Maybe a pregnancy thing.

Have been wanting to wear this top and skirt together for a little while. Had picked this out as a possible "bump hiding" outfit back when I was keeping the bump under wraps at work, but it didn't quite cover it up enough after my belly popped. Remembered the combination and wore it today instead. Did wish I'd worn the top tucked in though, as it wrinkled up a lot during the day.

Still can't decide if pencil skirts look better with shirts tucked or untucked during pregnancy - I've been going for untucked but it's not the most flattering with my short height. If you've worked through a pregnancy, how did you wear pencil skirts? With shirts tucked to enhance the bump, or untucked to minimise it?

Marc By Marc Jacobs Flats, Handbags. Grey Tee, Pencil Skirt and Fran | Wrap Dress and Hillier Hobo

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

No more hiding the baby bump in the office! I honestly can't hide it any more, the baby belly has truly popped. Wore lots of my favourite pieces to help feel comfortable all day Monday, in anticipation of the attention directed at the bump. Some of the guys in the office were very sweet about it when they did ask - although some were too polite to even enquire!

In my career, I've seen good ways to share the pregnancy news, and bad ways. Ranging from telling everyone the day after the positive pregnancy test, bringing it up during meetings and ignoring the dress code from the very beginning....to quietly telling people who enquire when the bump starts to show and continuing to dress and act professionally throughout the pregnancy. I know the pregnant ladies I've worked with and admire, and those that I want to emulate.

I'm also aware that while I am over the moon excited about the tiny baby growing inside of me, and my family and friends are just as excited too, people aren't coming to work to hear about my pregnancy. Fertility struggles or infertility and loss are difficult and often lonely things to battle through, and I would hate to upset any of my colleagues (or anyone!) unintentionally by letting my excitement get out of hand. Not everyone wants to know what fruit baby is currently the same size as! Although I'm sure you understand if I can't help but gush a little on my blog....

Monday was just like every other day - no announcements, no taking over meetings - just me no longer hiding the bump and feeling a little uncomfortable with all the attention it generates. Little note: if you wouldn't normally rub someone's stomach, don't do it when there's a baby growing inside. It's still just as awkward as walking up and rubbing a stranger on the belly ;)

This dress is another wardrobe find from one of my clear-out sessions. I had a bit of an obsession with wrap dresses a few years ago, used to wear them a lot more than I do now. Last wore this in 2011 it seems. It's so comfortable to wear and although I do now have to wear a singlet underneath for modesty, I still want to hold onto it. Keeping it in my wardrobe!

Thank you all for your entries in the giveaway - the winner 'sayanything' has been contacted via email.

This outfit was completely inspired by Dash Dot Dotty blog! I was reading blogs on Tuesday evening and came across this post with a grey tee and printed pencil skirt. Knew it was the perfect outfit to wear to the office on Wednesday! Although I don't have an animal print skirt, I really liked this combination of the lace skirt and tee. Had a day with a few big meetings, but nothing too formal so the tee was okay. Such a comfortable outfit too.

First time I've featured my sister on the blog, and isn't she beautiful? We wore these outfits for dinner, drinks and a little bit of shopping after work. For work I had a normal bag and flats, I just changed to heels and a clutch for the evening. My knee is still healing so a full day and night in heels would have been a little too much for it! Couldn't resist getting a little glammed up for the 'Girl's Night Out' event at Michael Hill though.
Had lots of fun, and make a small sparkly purchase ;) The store in Brisbane Queen's Plaza stocks some very unique and beautiful designs. Jamie, one of the employees, was telling me that most of the range is only available at that store, and no-where else in Australia.
Highlight of the evening was getting to meet the lovely Jesse Heart, fashion director at my favourite mag Shop Til You drop. I'm looking forward to the fortnightly editions!

Nice casual outfit for Tuesday to work from home. I started early and worked late so that I could have an hour long lunch with my mum and sister. Was nice to get out of the house for a while, and Cooper enjoyed seeing them as much as I did :) Although it was a little windy as you can see in the picture, it was still warm enough in the sun to go without a jacket. Thanks to my sister for taking these pics and snapping a great one of Cooper, looks like he is laughing!

After the warm weather we have been having, being back to single digits was a bit of a shock. Even found myself wishing I'd worn a scarf too this morning. I thought the leather jacket over the chunky knit felt a little bulky, but it was too cold to consider going jacket-less today. Just want to be warm and comfortable :)
Have been wary in the past about wearing this pencil skirt with black, and tried to avoid it as much as possible. But when it went so well with my opaque tights last time I wore it, I was happy to pair the colours together again. It looks better than I thought it would. What do you think?

Wearing a new purchase and an old favourite today! Took the photos without my trench today to show off the layering better. This jumper is one of the great pieces I picked up at the op-shop at the local festival the other weekend. I think it is actually supposed to be a cropped jumper, but as I'm petite it worked out to be the perfect length for layering! :)

Messy hair and messy scarf today! Although a lady in the office complimented how "put together" I looked, I certainly didn't feel it today. Was lovely of her to say something though. Added the scarf to keep me warm in the office and in meeting rooms, but didn't need it outside during the day and in the early evening. It's starting to warm up nicely now. If only it was as warm early in the mornings too, I'd be more likely to get out of bed and have time to fix my hair before work....haha!

When I was trying to organise my wardrobe a couple of weeks ago I came across this metallic tee I hadn't worn in a while, and the lace pencil skirt, and realised they would pair perfectly together. Had a tricky time picking the right shoes though, haha. I got rid of my gold flats as they had seen better days, or they would have been perfect with this. In the end, went with my trusty tan shoes and a belt to try match it.

I was going to wear this pink scarf with grey again, and had a grey tee in mind to wear. Changed my mind when I remembered I had this printed top sitting around unworn, I think the print worked well with the bright scarf. Nice casual outfit for Friday.

Not too pleased with how this outfit turned out today. I usually plan my outfits in the evening, and last night picked the tee and skirt as a good combination. When I put it on this morning I thought it needed a belt, so changed my bag and shoes to match the belt I picked. A little too much brown for my liking though. What do you think?


Lots of sales going on today! 40% off at Nordstrom and up to 70% off at shopbop.

Was a nice warm day today - rather sad to spend the day in the office though and view the sunshine through the window! Was good to be able to wear a skirt without my winter opaques needed for warmth though.

It's nice to see how my work wardrobe has changed over time - gone from preferring pants to loving dresses and skirts, even in winter. This beautiful blue lace pencil skirt is one of my favourites. Although I don't seem to wear it much in winter, it got a work out at the start of the year with the warmer temperatures. I expect it to pop up more in future ;) Tried a little bit of pattern mixing today by wearing it with a printed top, what do you think?

If you're hunting for anything in particular at the moment, Asos have an extra 15% off their sale with the code "MIDSEASON15". Enjoy :)

Really liked this outfit today, put together with inspiration from Cecylia to create a peplum top using a belt. Unfortunately the first picture makes it look boxy and weird....but I felt good in it all day. I'd say it was a bad photo, but it was the best of the bunch! Maybe just a look that doesn't photograph well :)
