Blue Skull Scarf, Stripes, Blazer and Maxi Skirt | Maternity Skinny Jeans and Boots, MbMJ Ukita Bag

Now that baby T has arrived, I'm blogging less regularly as life revolves around a newborn and I spend most of my days at home in pyjamas! Below are two of the chances I've had recently to get dressed and get out of the house, and had time to take an outfit picture.


Here's what I wore to take baby T for a checkup and visit Centrelink:

Jacket: Zara black blazer
Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue (currently on sale!)
Tank: Glassons striped tank in black and white
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag (not in pic)


Tried to dress a little more like myself on this outing - I felt really dressed up with the blazer actually! Just carried all of my paperwork and things in the baby bag. So pleased we bought a large bag as I can throw my things in with everything needed for baby. And all of the paperwork Centrelink need...

Wasn't sure how my scarf would fare, but decided to wear it anyway and managed to keep this outfit stain-free. Although baby T did sneeze milk right in my face after a feed, it missed my clothes. Life with baby isn't very glamorous, but it is hilarious!


Last worn: Zara blazer, blue skull scarf, Glassons stripe tank, jersey maxi skirt, Converse.

Here's what I wore to spend the afternoon with DH:

Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Top: thrifted Zara cream shirt (recent purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster


Really liked this outfit! Got to carry my own handbag as baby T was babysat by family for an afternoon, which gave DH and I the chance to have a little lunch date together. We are lucky to have such helpful and supportive family. While it was nice getting some time out without baby, it was the longest we've been apart since he was born (he was just over 2 weeks old when I took this photo) and I did miss him a bit! Was nice to change out my handbag from the Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag I had my things in when I went into labour.

This Zara top is another one of my thrift finds from my op-shopping day as I filled my time waiting for baby's arrival. This is the first time I've been able to wear it as it didn't cover the baby belly before, hehe. The Endeavour Foundation store had a bunch of Zara items, so I ended up with a few things. Cheaper than flying to Sydney for a Zara fix ;)


Last worn: maternity skinny jeans, Asos brown leather boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs little Ukita. First time I've worn the top.

Red Cardi, Black and White Striped Maxi Skirt | Asos Fluro Boucle Blazer, Skinny Jeans and Boots

Continuing on with the sporadic outfit posts, sharing what I wear when I do venture out of the house with baby. I still haven't progressed passed wearing PJs while at home, but baby T doesn't seem to mind!

Here's what I wore for an appointment at our local clinic (a week and a half after baby's arrival):

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Cardi: Jeanswest long red drape cardigan
Top: Best and Less black breastfeeding singlet
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual


Using the old "black is slimming" rule to try disguise some of the post-baby belly a little, as the breastfeeding singlets I'm wearing are quite figure hugging and accentuate my little bulge.

While I was running around later in the afternoon I ended up knotting the long drape of the cardi around my waist. Wish I'd had a chance to get a photo of it, as I preferred it that way rather than the long line it creates worn lose in the photo. Of course by that point in the day the top was already stained courtesy of a messy baby, so the time for photos was over, haha!

Really getting into winter weather here - even Cooper has his winter woolies on!


Last worn: Ray-Ban wayfarers, red cardigan, target stripe maxi skirt, Converse. First time I've worn the singlet on the blog.

Here's what I wore a couple of days later, to drop by the clinic again:

Jacket: Asos blazer in textured boucle with fluro binding (on sale!)
Top: Jeanswest maternity nursing cami
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in black
Bracelets: the usual


Another singlet and cardigan combination! It's really easy in these early days looking after baby T.  Swap the PJ pants for something outdoors appropriate, add shoes and a cardi and I'm good to go!

I have a lot of cardigans, I just don't show them often on the blog. They tended to be something I'd throw into my bag to have to cover up at work or if the air con got cold when I was out somewhere in summer. At the moment they are being worn more often as they are a nice snuggly option with the cooler weather, and easier to clean than most of my jackets if baby T makes a mess....

Wore the boots to keep my feet warm, and to have a little change from the frequently worn Converse! :)
