Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Rugged up against the cold on Monday with a scarf, although in the chilly morning I did wish I had added a jacket too. Was really sad when I noticed a huge tear in the back of this shirt in the evening - no idea if I had been walking around like that all day!

Had been hoping to keep on wearing this top and use it as a nursing top. Tucked into jeans or a skirt it would have looked awesome and been really practical with the buttons. Unfortunately, no way to repair the tear at the seam. I paid $9 for it and got 3 wears out of it, not too bad I guess. Definitely would have worn it more if it had stayed together.

This shirt is one of the pieces I picked up in the last Jeanswest 40% off sale. Because I can never turn down something striped, haha! Hopefully I won't manage to tear a hole in this one..... ;)

When this parcel arrived I tried this top on with what I was wearing, the grey maxi skirt. I thought it was a good combination, so decided I'd wear it this way on it's first outing. Plus the scarf to keep me warm when I went out to the doctors. Had to wear thongs (flip flops) though as I puffed up a bit today and shoes were out of the question! Couldn't even get my rings on in the morning!


Last worn: Burberry tartan scarfgrey maxi skirt, Havaianas, MbMJ Fran handbag (see above). First time I've won the shirt as it's a recent purchase.

Third Trimester Casual Weekend Maxi Skirt Outfits and Rebecca Minkoff Berry Stripe Mini MAC Bag

Here's what I wore on Saturday:
3rd trimester paisley print kimono maxi skirt acne pistol boots autumn outfit
Jacket: Just Jeans paisley print kimono jacket
NecklaceHouse of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Top: Jeanswest brown marle singlet
SkirtJeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
ShoesAcne pistol boots in "skin"
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


The weather really cooled off this weekend. Had planned to wear just this singlet and maybe a scarf, but it was so cold Saturday morning I needed a jacket and boots. Although I did end up going sock-less in the boots to be sure that my swollen feet would still be able to fit in them at the end of the day, haha! Had my hair cut on Saturday, had been needing to do so for a while but I'd just kept forgetting to make an appointment. Baby brain at its worst!

I've often thought about and tried to pair this kimono with maxi skirts and dresses before, but it just seemed like a little too much volume. I tried it on and really liked it this time around though. Maybe because the baby bump sticks out so much so it doesn't look like I'm drowning in fabric.


Last worn: paisley kimono, tank, black maxi skirt, Acne Pistol boots, Rebecca Minkoff stripe mini MAC.



Here's what I wore today:

ScarfAlexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
Top: Topshop grey knitted scoop neck top
SkirtTarget black and white striped maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


Was hoping to get a nice photo of my new haircut today but the wind had other plans in mind! At least in this shot my hair wasn't over my face ;) Not a drastic change anyway, just cutting a bit off the ends, a little more than usual as I'd left it so long between trims.

This outfit was good - kept me cosy and comfortable for running errands, going out for lunch, having family over, and working at Church Online. Wasn't brave enough to wear my usual weekend shoe choice of thongs (flip flops) as it was so cold, so I went with converse to keep my feet warm. I really liked converse with this skirt last time I wore it too. Now I'm wearing maxi skirts more I'm finding I can pair them with any types of shoes - not just sandals. They look great with flats, boots and converse!

That's one of the fun things about this pregnancy - I'm trying new things as I dress to accommodate the growing bump. Thank you for following and reading along, your support and suggestions and improvement ideas are so helpful. :)
