Zibibo Bubble Tank, Striped Skirt, Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag | Casual Friday Florals, Maternity Skinny Jeans

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Dress: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
SkirtFrench Connection 'Abby' twisted skirt (new purchase)
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus two old blue beaded bracelets, Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Michelle from Zibibo contacted me recently to congratulate me on my pregnancy and to offer me the chance to try out some of their maternity clothes. I ended up picking this bubble tank for work and a maxi dress for weekend wear. I honestly don't think I will be packing this top away even after baby arrives! As well as being a nursing tank, it's extremely comfortable, and I like the navy shade. It's definitely something I will be keeping and wearing long after baby grows. It's made from bamboo and cotton, so it's really soft.

When I placed the order at Zibibo, it arrived really quickly as they sent it express - a great shipping option for those feeling like they are running out of bump friendly things to wear! The packaging was beautiful also. Everything was wrapped in tissue paper, with a cute little sachet of popurri so the parcel smelt lovely. Even with my sensitive pregnancy sense of smell I liked it. And I've been so picky over smells I've given up on using all the previously wonderful scented candles I own!

The top is beautiful, the dress is gorgeous (look out for an upcoming post!), and the absolute best thing is that they included a little package of gourmet marshmallows with my order. I spent a lot of my first trimester craving after and stuffing my face with marshmallows, so they certainly know the way to a pregnant lady's heart! They were delicious. I always enjoy getting extra little surprises in parcels, don't you? Especially edible surprises!


Last worn: Wittner black flats, Balenciaga tempete Day bag. First time I've worn the skirt and top.

Carrying my Balenciaga day bag again! 3 days in a row now. It's just such an easy and comfortable option, I haven't felt like changing it out for another bag. It's been a tough week so I've been gravitating towards blue accessories to cheer myself up a bit.

Perfect timing for this cute little pastel friendship bracelet from Seri Marea Jewellery to show up, it includes such a lovely shade of blue! Isobel has an etsy store where she sells her designs, and will also custom make something for you. The bracelets would make a great gift or addition to your bracelet stack :)

BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


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.

Here's what I wore to work today:

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?
