Saturday I was lucky enough to get squeezed into a place to do more medical tests at late notice. Lots of tests is not the best way to start the day. Brekkie at McDonalds with Mum after, and then browsing baby stores with DH in the afternoon made sure that the day ended better! Wanted to be comfortable all day, so went with a singlet and maxi skirt.

Some days I feel like all I want to wear is this combination of maxi skirt and singlet! It's great in pregnancy, I even picked up a few more bright singlets in the Jeanswest sale. But I do have to go to work and I'm trying to put in a little bit of an effort to dress professionally there. Some of the ladies in the office made it look so easy during their pregnancies! Can't promise that I won't end up in this comfy 'uniform' every day as baby's due date gets nearer, but for now I am trying to enjoy dressing the bump in different ways and mix things up a little so it doesn't get too repetitive. :)


Last worn: black maxi skirt, thongs, Balenciaga tempete day bag. First time I've worn the top as it's a recent purchase.

Today's outfit was completely inspired by Londyn! My planned second day in a row maxi and singlet combo was put aside after she posted some pics of her rocking a striped dress and her adorable baby bump. I wanted to try and emulate her look. This is a similar dress I picked out, but I think it lacks the classy look of her outfit. Maybe I should have tried a belt? Was comfortable for a day of running errands and working at Church Online though.


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarers, stripe maxi dress, Havaianas, Balenciaga tempete day bag (see above).

Simple denim outfit for casual Friday today. Was feeling rather uninspired trying to find something to wear, so jeans and a printed top seemed like a nice easy option. Expected this top to be a little more roomy though - the bump is really growing well! Beginning to wonder if I may need more than my current 3 maternity shirts to see me through the last few months. I'm trying to buy as little new maternity wear as possible, and make the most of what I already own and the handful of pieces I've already bought.


Last worn: printed top, maternity skinny jeans, metallic mouse flats, Mulberry oak Bayswater (see above).
