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:

Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Top: Temt grey knot front top
SkirtAsos graphic print pencil skirt on sale! (maternity version here)
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
BagMarc 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.

Zara Belted Tunic Dress, Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC | Grey Top, Skinny Jeans, Louis Vuitton Neverfull

Here's what I wore on Sunday:
Zara printed bib front tunic dress worn belted over second trimester baby bump

Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas berry stripe mini MAC
NecklaceDogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace
Dress: Zara printed bib front tunic dress
Belt: C/O Poppywinkle brown weave belt
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


The last time I wore this dress I'd picked it out as it was lightweight and it hid the baby bump nicely in photos. Although in person it was impossible to hide when I moved :) Now, the bump definitely isn't hidden in photos any more! So amazing being able to see the pregnancy progress through my blog. Really blessed!

Wore the dress again today as it was a lightweight and easy option for the heat. Although the combination of the belt and the baby bump made it a little shorter than I liked when the breeze picked up. Hopefully I can wear it again in pregnancy, just maybe when it's cooler with leggings underneath.


Last worn: printed dress, weave belt, Wittner sandals, Rebecca Minkoff canvas mini MAC.



Here's what I wore for a training course today:

ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey

BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Today I had another training course outside of the office. I much prefer wearing jeans to training days, as you never know how cold the rooms will be, from experience it's mostly too cold for bare legs! As there was no provided dress code, I went with my black skinny jeans as they can easily pass for pants and blend in if everyone is in business wear ;) Carried my neverfull bag as I had to carry snacks and training material around.


Last worn: French Connection top, maternity skinny jeans, studded mouse flatsLouis Vuitton neverfull.
