Had a meeting with my manager today but still kept my outfit simple and comfortable - tee and pencil skirt! I wanted to recreate this entire outfit again, but decided I could make it look just a little different if I swapped out the tee ;) With the size of my wardrobe I certainly wasn't spoiled for choices for another top to wear, haha!

Another pencil skirt and tee combo! Loved it pre-pregnancy, love it still during pregnancy. I'm lucky to have a very relaxed business casual workplace so I can wear tees to the office Monday to Thursday. That's made maternity dressing a lot easier. I think if I had to wear business professional every day I would have had to invest in some key maternity pieces like suits and work pants, which would have been trickier to find.
I thought the embroidered detail on this top worked well with the print on the skirt, but it doesn't show up well in photos. Did forget how badly this shirt wrinkles with the bump though, felt a bit sloppy by the end of the day!

Balenciaga Rouille Work Bag. French Connection Top, Skinny Jeans | Soon Maternity Wrap Dress

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
TopFrench Connection Moon Moire printed top
JeansJeanswest maternity skinny jeans in black
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in camel
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga classic work in 2006 Rouille


This outfit was a bit of a fail. It seemed like such a good idea the night before, the top still fits (just!) over the baby bump, and the black jeans easily pass as normal pants for work. I just felt a little too large with it on. I much prefer the way the top still draped nicely in my second trimester, haha! Although the skinny jeans did help balance out the volume a little, still wish I'd worn a different top.


Last worn: French Connection print top, black maternity skinny jeans, MbMJ camel flats, Balenciaga rouille work.

Wearing this maternity wrap dress again! It is definitely going to be a regular occurrence in my pregnancy work wardrobe! Not long left to go at work now. After not feeling great in yesterday's outfit, I wanted to wear something that I knew I felt good in, so this dress was perfect :) And I kept on wearing my rouille Balenciaga as I love the orange colour.
