Marc By Marc Jacobs Lil' Ukita Bag, Maternity Tanks and Maxi Skirts

My Marc by Marc Jacobs Ukita bag is always a fun bag to wear, and as I've shared before it's one that everyone seems to love as it's consistently one of the most clicked on items on my blog. I've worn it to the office and with shorts, it works with so many different outfits. I'm wearing it below with maxi skirts for easy third trimester style.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Sol Maternity jacquard tank (non-maternity version)
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster

Why I wore it:

Wore this to go shopping and take toddler T to rhyme time at the local library. The lady running it was telling us a little more about it, it seems to just be a Queensland government thing. Hopefully other states have something similar. It's really fun, I've been taking toddler T since he was a baby whenever we can. It's free, and you get to sing and dance and learn nursery rhymes and songs. Now that toddler T's bigger, he even has his favourite songs and I love seeing his excitement when he hears them!

As I'd be sitting around on the floor with a toddler, I figured a maxi skirt was a good idea. I haven't actually worn this maternity tank with a maxi skirt yet, was a nice easy outfit.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (C/O)
Tank: Jeanswest Carla maternity cut out tank (non-maternity version)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster

Why I wore it:

I picked a nice neutral outfit to wear to really make the 'rock lobster' colour of the Ukita bag pop. It looks great against black! Again, with a maxi skirt and maternity singlet combination.

Wore this to run errands in the morning and spend some time setting up the nursery for baby. The in-laws came over in the afternoon for dinner. The maxi skirt worked for all those scenarios. One of those items that will always be on my wardrobe must-haves list, pregnant or not!

Mulberry Oak Bayswater, Wrap Dresses for the Office: 3rd Trimester Corporate Style

As mentioned in my previous post, I'd been talking about and thinking about my handbags, and how things will change with them when baby's born. When toddler T was a baby, it took me a while before I started carrying my bags again and not just throwing my things into the baby bag.

The Mulberry bayswater is one of the bags that I'm sure will be neglected for a while. It's perfect for the office, not so much a day with a toddler. In my final weeks at work before maternity leave it was good to get it out again.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Rayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)

Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklace
Dress: thrifted Target printed wrap dress (with white Jeanswest singlet underneath)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey (on sale in black)
Bracelets: the usual plus JORD black Fieldcrest wood watch (C/O)
Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather (previously owned bargain here)

Why I wore it:

Can't believe this is only the third wear of this dress! Considering I got it at the op-shop (thrift shop) for $1 it's still a pretty good cost-per-wear though. I had the usual second trimester panic that nothing fit and I had nothing to wear so I went op-shopping and found this for only a dollar. A size larger than my normal, I knew it would work in pregnancy. It's a great piece for the office, although I don't see myself wearing it much after pregnancy so I'll try squeeze in a few more wears before baby arrives.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Target printed wrap dress, studded mouse flats, Mulberry Bayswater bag.

Other ways to wear: printed wrap dress in the second trimester, studded mouse flats and denim shorts, Mulberry Bayswater and a chambray dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: House of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold
Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
Singlet: (under dress) thrifted Cotton On yellow tank
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black
Bracelets: the usual plus JORD black Fieldcrest wood watch (C/O)

Why I wore it:

Another day at the office, another printed wrap dress! Unlike the one above, I feel I'm wearing this dress a lot this pregnancy! It's almost a weekly thing....

It's nice though having a go-to outfit for work though. It makes picking out something to wear the next day much easier, no matter how tired I am at the end of the day.
