Balenciaga Black Part Time Bag. Third Trimester Print Mixing and Lots of Grey

Here's what I wore to work from home on Tuesday:

Cardigan: JeansWest knit cardi in long sleeve zig zag
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
TankGlassons striped tank in silver marle and white
SkirtTarget grey marle maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH


Been almost a year since I last wore this cardi! I have a little collection of cardigans although I rarely wear them. Sometimes I'd throw them in my bag to take to the office as a cover up to stay warm, but need to make more of an effort to use what I have in my wardrobe more often.

Thought that the pattern mixing was a nice touch with the striped top, and kept it simple with a matching grey skirt so everything was in the same colour family. Nice and comfortable for a doctor's visit and to work from home for the rest of the day.

More grey today. Paired a grey tee and blazer with this skirt again. It's a nice easy option for work, and I'm definitely needing comfortable and simple things to wear now I'm 37 weeks pregnant. It's crazy how fast time's flown by, and how quickly the baby bump has been reducing the size of my wearable wardrobe items! It's fun trying to dress the bump every day, even now in the third trimester. I won't be doing it for much longer :)

Had a busy Sunday! After Saturday's trip to Australia Zoo, I had another luxurious pregnancy massage booked in the morning to get rid of all of the anticipated aches and pains from all of the walking around. Then it was a spot of shopping with my sister, the baby shower at my parents, and a BBQ dinner at the in-laws.

The baby shower was really fun. Baby got so many gifts! We had put together a little registry advising people that gifts weren't necessary, and suggesting a few little things if people wanted to buy something. So many people got us things, it was really unexpected and I got a little teary opening presents.

I'd initially been against the idea of a baby shower, but warmed up to it more during the pregnancy. They aren't very common in Australia. It was such a lovely way to spend Mother's Day though, and I'm very thankful to my mum and sister who put so much effort into the party. Spending time with friends, family and with my mother and mother in law celebrating the impending arrival of their grandchild was really special. Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day too. :)


Last worn: purple maternity maxi dress, gold glitter belt, Havaianas, Miu Miu studded cammeo bag.

After a busy weekend, simplicity was needed, so went with this Soon Maternity wrap dress for work again. Made getting ready easy, and was perfect for the many meetings I had.

Shocked to search the blog and find that I haven't carried this bag for 5 months - I need to get better at rotating through my handbags. It's a little tricky now that they are all stored in boxes under the bed though, bending down to get things is not the easiest manoeuvre when pregnant, haha!
