Had a few errands to run on Monday and an acupuncture session. As it was a little chilly in the morning, decided to wear the other blazer I found at the op-shop on my shopping trip a few weeks back. I think it looks okay, although there really is no chance of it being buttoned over the giant baby bump, haha! Was easy to take off and on as the temperatures changed through the day.

BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Another simple maxi skirt outfit, this time with a pretty pastel tee. Spent lots of time relaxing today, so this was a nice comfortable outfit. Looked okay for a doctor's appointment and lunch with DH too.

I really am so glad I discovered stretchy maxi skirts work just as well during pregnancy as they do before it. They have been the most comfortable things to wear, and I feel more put together than if I was walking around in trackie dacks. Although I do confess that trackie dacks are my outfit of choice when I'm at home bouncing on my exercise ball to relieve some of the pregnancy back aches! Much more practical than a skirt in that situation.

Weekend Outfits: Jeanswest Dresses, Rebecca Minkoff Yellow Swing Bag. Non-Maternity Wear

Sharing what I wore on the weekend!

Here's what I wore on Saturday:
Third trimester belted Jeanswest Melanie paisley print dress bright yellow bag

Rebecca Minkoff canary yellow swing bag and bracelet stack
NecklaceHouse of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold
DressJeanswest 'Melanie' paisley mixed print dress (currently 40% off!)
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow


This outfit was one I had in mind for our anniversary dinner on Friday. Unfortunately, the thongs (flip flops) kind of make the whole look a little too casual for eating out at a restaurant, and were against the dress code of the place we booked. My swollen pregnancy feet won't let me wear anything else though, haha!

I really wanted to wear this pretty dress, so wore it on Saturday instead. We had a quiet day, and had dinner with the in-laws in the evening. My sister in law just got back from an amazing trip, so we had the chance to catch up and see some photos.


Last worn: Jeanswest paisley print dress, gold glitter belt, Cotton On thongs, Rebecca Minkoff Swing bag.

Simple maxi dress today, for lunch and a movie with DH. We are wondering how many more quiet weekends to ourselves we will get before baby arrives. Hopefully not too many more, we are so excited to meet the little one :) The checkout guy at Woolies was full of questions for us when we did the groceries, wondering when baby is due to arrive. We've seen him a few times during the pregnancy, he's always so sweet and asks how things are going.

Was nice to just wear a dress today - although when we were walking Cooper in the evening I did find myself wishing I'd worn a jacket. First day of winter today so it will definitely start cooling off now, will soon have to start wearing more layers.
