What I wore:
Necklace: pink beaded disc necklace
Singlet: Jeanswest Carla maternity cut out tank (non-maternity version)
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale!)
Why I wore it:
Wore this to work from home and attend an OB appointment in the afternoon. I'd been thinking that this black maternity tank would look nice with the striped maxi skirt, but I wasn't too sure when I put it on. I decided to try brighten it up with some colourful accessories. Although the pink necklace and purple mini MAB tote bag don't match, I thought the colours were nice against the black.I still feel this was missing something though - maybe a colourful scarf would have been a better option.
As it's the second time I've worn this tank, and I'm reviewing everything I buy to make sure I'm buying things I'll actually wear, my purchase review:
I really like wearing this tank, so I'm glad I bought it. While I already had a plain black maternity tank, this one feels different enough with the cut out details that I'm glad I bought it too. Pleased I bought more maternity tops in this pregnancy, I'm really enjoying wearing them. Although I bought this near the end of the second trimester, I still feel I'll get enough use from it in the final trimester.

What I wore:
Top: Jeanswest Sonny maternity tee in lagoon marle (C/O)
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale!)
Why I wore it:
I'd been thinking about more ways to wear this non-maternity skirt, and thought it would look great with this green maternity tee.After a few days of sickness and pretty much being stuck on the sofa, I had a busy morning running errands and taking a fully recovered toddler T to his gymboree class. I wasn't sure what to wear and could only think of this outfit idea. I decided to wear it anyway, although I wasn't sure a maxi skirt was the best choice for running around with toddler T. While I did like the outfit, I wished I'd worn something other than a maxi skirt for the class as it wasn't the most practical choice with the slit in the side.
I also didn't realise until halfway through the day that I'd picked gold accessories and a silver bag! Not a conscious decision, I just grabbed a necklace without thinking, and not a combination I'd wear again.
Last worn: green maternity tee, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff metallic mini MAC.
Other ways to wear: green maternity tee and denim shorts, striped maxi skirt in winter, Rebecca Minkoff metallic mini MAC and a printed tee dress.
