Jeans and a stripy tee for casual Friday! Not sure how much longer these non-maternity oversized tees will work for the pregnancy - felt myself tugging at the hem a little worrying it was getting a bit short. Baby is growing well! Got lots of comments from people at work wondering how I was still waddling around the office and why I haven't gone on maternity leave yet, hehe!

Tried a little bit of pattern mixing with the scarf. I was given this at Christmas, it's so pretty. Starting to get cool enough to wear it now. Had the chance to wear my new bag too - love the colour! It's called "rock lobster" and is the perfect blend of pink and red.


Last worn: oversized stripe tee, maternity skinny jeans, glitter flats. First time I've worn the bag as it's a new purchase, first time I've worn the scarf.



Here's what I wore to go to Australia Zoo today:

Had such a fun day today! We had a girl's day out at Australia Zoo for my sister's birthday. I picked a nice comfortable outfit as I knew I'd be doing a lot of walking. I don't know what pregnant ladies in colder climates do, but I'm so grateful I can fit my swollen feet into thongs (flip flops) most days.

Despite having gold hardware on my bag, I went with silver accessories as I wanted to wear my little giraffe necklace. Although not as perfect as my sister's giraffe print dress, it was fitting as we went to hand feed the giraffes which was awesome!

Simple black and white outfit for Wednesday. Really starting to struggle with finding nice things to wear to work now in the final few weeks of pregnancy. I'm quite looking forward to finishing up soon, and being a lot more casual with what I wear. Based on some previous pregnancies in the office, I know the levels of dress code I can drop to, but I want to try and look as professional as possible despite my limited choices. This was comfortable all day though, and was good to wear to our parenting class after work as well.

Thought that the little bit of print mixing with the leopard scarf and tartan skirt worked well due to the similar colours - what do you think?

More print mixing, and I got to wear my maternity tights! I purchased these tights a couple of months ago when we had a little bit of a cold snap, figuring they would be essentials for the pregnancy. Just wearing them now at 36 weeks, so not as essential as I thought! They were only $8 from Target so I'm not feeling too bad about the purchase.

Picked a pretty dress to wear to work and after today, as we had a birthday dinner for my sister in the evening. The tights kept me warm and the dress was suitable for work and dinner, which saved me trying to find a second outfit to wear for the evening, hehe! I bought this dress in the Jeanswest sale as I loved the paisley print and the subtle print mixing, and guessed it would have no problems accommodating the third trimester baby bump despite being non-maternity.


I've been wearing my Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag a bit this week, but that will change now I have a new handbag purchase! Short reveal video of my latest splurge:
Yep, another Marc by Marc Jacobs bag!


Last worn: Asos ankle boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran (see above). First time I've worn the dress as it's a new purchase.
