Balenciaga Sapphire Purple City, Maternity Pencil Skirts, Marc By Marc Jacobs Mouse Flats

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Necklace: House of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold
Top: Jeanswest 'Felicity' maternity shirt in amethyst (new purchase)
Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


This top is another one of the new things I purchased in the Jeanswest 40% off sale the other week. They had just released a nursing range and then had 40% off everything...I was powerless to resist! When the parcel arrived on Friday, I loved this top right away. It looked great with the skinny jeans I was wearing when I tried it on.

It doesn't really work with the pencil skirt though, does it? Much too long. I have that problem with a few of my maternity tops, I am petite so the extra length they add to the maternity clothes to accommodate a growing bump can swamp me a little. And I don't want to run round belting everything. Might need to pair this top with pants next time, as it's really comfortable and colourful so I want to keep it.


Last worn: Asos tartan pencil skirt, metallic gold mouse flats, Balenciaga sapphire city bag.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Top: Cotton On grey empire tie print top (with white Supre singlet underneath)
Skirt: Soon Maternity Flora fold pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black mouse flats patent leather
Bracelets: the usual plus purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet, Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


Very similar outfit to yesterday's - feeling uninspired! It was pouring rain this morning during the 5 minutes I have for photos, so indoor photos again. It cleared up and got much warmer almost right away.

Not sure how long I've had this top for exactly, but I probably bought it around the same time I got my other Cotton On top. So pleased that my clothes hoarding means I've kept a lot of my clothes from my flowy top phase a few years ago, they are just the thing for the growing baby bump!

Although this top I maybe can't wear again during the pregnancy. It is just a normal top and I don't quite think it can handle the third trimester bump, it felt a little short today as the bump made it ride up. Monday's top was too long, today's too short....still learning how best to dress baby and I! Feel free to leave me tips and tricks if you've been through this, your advice and comments are always appreciated :)


Last worn: white Supre singlet, Soon maternity pencil skirt, patent mouse flats, Balenciaga sapphire city (see above). First time I've worn the top on the blog.

Weekend Outfits: Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag. Singlet and Maxi Skirt | Striped Dress

Here's what I wore on Saturday:

Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Top: Jeanswest 'Jenni' basic singlet in Hawaii blue (new purchase)
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


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.

Here's what I wore today:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
Dress: Three Dots stripe maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga coated stud wrap bracelet in icy blue
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


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).
