Non-Maternity Tops in The Third Trimester with Denim Shorts and Balenciaga Magenta Day Bag

While I do have a good collection of maternity tops in this pregnancy thanks to the Jeanswest sales, I still want to try wear some regular non-maternity tops as long as possible. I figured I'd best squeeze myself into them before the third trimester baby bump grows too large!

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)
Necklace: pink beaded disc necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversize tee in black (also in grey)
Shorts: Jeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

I wore the striped version of this tee at 40+ weeks pregnant last time around, so I was confident I'd be able to fit into this black one for a little while. I did forget that I had covered up the neckline with a scarf last time though. I didn't feel very comfortable with this and kept grabbing and pulling at the neckline through the day. If I wear this tee (or any of the other colours I have it in...) again in pregnancy I'll definitely be layering it with something.

Trying to find the last time I wore this black tee, it's been over a year and a half! I'm sure I've worn it more recently, maybe I just can't find the post. Or maybe I just have too many clothes if a great basic like this is hardly worn!

Added the pink bag and necklace for a bit of colour, just a quiet day taking toddler T to his gymboree lesson.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, Atmos&Here black tee, Jeanswest maternity denim shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wear: Atmos&Here black tee in the office, maternity denim shorts and a floral kimono, Balenciaga magenta day bag in the office.

What I wore:

Necklace: Eye Candy LA gold and turquoise cuff necklace
Tank: Glassons striped tank in black and white
Top: Atmos & Here Arlene wrap top in navy (new purchase)
Shorts: Jeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas (on sale!)
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver beaded bracelet set
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

This top was one of my boxing day purchases! I mentioned when I bought it that I thought it would be ideal for post-baby wear. The wrap top has a press-stud for modesty which also makes it perfect for breastfeeding, so I'm sure to get a lot of wear out of it.

When my sale parcel arrived, I tried this top on and was pleased to find it easily accommodated the baby bump. I put it away in my wardrobe to wear later and so when I finally got around to wearing it, the bump was much bigger. I was tugging at this top all day also, just trying to pull it down! Definitely won't get worn again until after baby arrives.


Last worn: striped tank, Jeanswest maternity shorts, gold Havaianas, Balenciaga magenta day bag (above). First time I've worn the wrap top as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: striped tank and a maxi skirt, Jeanswest maternity shorts and the ninja baby tee, Balenciaga magenta day bag and a graphic tee.

Third Trimester Corporate Style: Printed Wrap Dresses (Maternity and Non-Maternity) and Balenciaga Magenta Day Bag

Keeping dressing for the office during pregnancy as simple as possible in the third trimester, I've been relying a lot on my wrap dresses - both maternity and non maternity ones.

What I wore:

Necklace: Eye Candy LA gold and turquoise cuff necklace
Tank: Jeanswest brown marle singlet

Dress: Atmos&Here Betsy jersey wrap dress in watercolour print (on sale!)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in camel
Bracelets: the usual plus JORD black Fieldcrest wood watch (C/O)
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

I was eager to wear this dress again to the office. Although I bought it a size larger than usual so it would fit the third trimester baby bump, it's still not a maternity dress so I'm not sure how many times I'll be able to wear it before the bump outgrows it, and I'm trying to make the most of it while I can! I thought the magenta bag might be a bit of a bold pairing with the turquoise print on the dress, but really liked the way it looked.


As it's the second time I've worn this dress, and I'm reviewing everything I buy to make sure I'm adding the right things to my wardrobe, my purchase review:

I'm glad I bought this dress! It was an impulse buy in the sales and I wasn't sure if it would even fit around the bump, but I've been really pleased with it. I know I'll be able to wear it post-baby so I think it was a good pregnancy purchase. It's super comfortable for the office too. A purchase I'm glad I made, that will be worn now and after baby arrives.



Last worn: brown marle singlet, Atmos&Here Betsy wrap dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, Balenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wear: brown marle singlet and a maxi skirt,  turquoise wrap dress and navy tote bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs ballet flats and skinny jeans, Balenciaga magenta day bag and a maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace layered with gifted silver charm necklace
Tank: Target grey marle tank top
Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

Unlike the two bright colours together above, this is the magenta bag worn with a neutral dress. As much as I liked the colour combination in the first outfit, I think the magenta popping against a neutral outfit is my favourite way to wear it.

Just like last time, I'm starting to feel that I'm wearing this dress a lot over my pregnancy, but it's such an easy outfit option for work!


Last worn: grey tank, Soon Maternity wrap dress, cap toe flats, Balenciaga magenta day bag (above).

Other ways to wear: grey tank and a maxi skirt, maternity wrap dress in the second trimester, printed jeans and two tone flats, Balenciaga day bag with a pencil skirt.
