Jeanswest Maternity Tanks, Denim Shorts and Rebecca Minkoff Metallic Silver Mini MAC Bag

Maternity tanks and denim shorts have become my go-to for the hot Queensland summer. I'm trying to vary the outfits a little by wearing different accessories, and sometimes adding a kimono, but as I mentioned before I'm seeing out the last trimester of my pregnancy mainly wearing the few maternity pieces I have. I've essentially ended up with a capsule wardrobe, so there are frequent repeats. When the clothes are so comfortable though, I don't mind repeating them often!

What I wore: 

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)

Necklace: Jeanswest Taki necklace (C/O)
Tank: Jeanswest Carla maternity cut out tank (non-maternity version)
Shorts: Jeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in blue!)

Why I wore it:

Was surprised to find that I hadn't worn this necklace and tank together before - seems like a really obvious choice. I like wearing statement necklaces with this black tank, it's the perfect backdrop for it.

Wore this to go to Toddler T's first swimming lesson, and then have lunch with the in-laws.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, black maternity tank, maternity boyfriend shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: black maternity tank and a magenta bag, maternity boyfriend shorts and a ninja baby tee, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and a maxi dress.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)

Necklace: Australian coin and crest necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Sol Maternity jacquard tank (non-maternity version)
Shorts: Jeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in black!)

Why I wore it:

I appreciated the simplicity of the tank and denim shorts combo on this day, it was really busy! I didn't even get time to share this outfit on instagram like usual. Had a lot of running around to do. After playgroup in the morning, toddler T had a different gymboree class in the afternoon. It was really fun! He's so used to the same room and teacher each week, so experiencing a different class meant he was even more excited than usual.

I was glad I'd worn denim shorts - unlike skirts they are much more practical for running around with a toddler at gymboree.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (above), printed maternity tank, Bermuda maternity shorts, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC(above).

Other ways to wear: printed maternity tank in the office, denim shorts and a striped tank, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and skinny jeans.

A while back Alison from Sydney Fashion Hunter contacted me and asked if I'd like to be involved in the "sisterhood of the travelling bag". Of course you know any mention of handbags has me interested!

Today's post features a few different ways to wear this Sash & Belle India black fringe bag. Check out Alison at Sydney Fashion Hunter and Kirsty from Geelong Fashionista to read more about how they've styled the bag in NSW and VIC.

What I wore:

Hat: Big W bow detail sunhat
Necklace: Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Elodie' tie dye grey jersey maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Sash & Belle India fringed cross body bag in black (C/O)

Why I wore it:

I felt a fringed bag would look great with a boho outfit, and thought of wearing this blue dress or this chambray one, but sadly they couldn't accommodate a third trimester baby bump! While the tie dye maxi dress was my third choice, I really liked this outfit in the end. We went out to a community festival, so I thought the hat was a great idea to be sun-safe, although I didn't need it as they had a lot of stalls indoors. Toddler T had a great time running around, and I was suitably comfortable walking around all morning in my maxi dress.


Last worn: sun hat, tie dye maxi dress, Havaianas. First time I've worn the bag.

Other ways to wear: sun hat and denim shorts, tie dye maxi dress without a baby bump. See below for more ways to wear a fringed bag.
