Marc By Marc Jacobs Ukita, Printed Kimonos, Denim Maternity Shorts

Two more easy third trimester outfits, with my bright and colourful Marc By Marc Jacobs Ukita bag. I've been enjoying wearing it lately.

What I wore:

AwayFromTheBlue | Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster red printed kimono
NecklaceRoie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
SingletJeanswest maternity tank in black
Shorts: Jeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoesslim gold Havaianas
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster

Why I wore it:

I wore this outfit to play along with the #SNSColour challenge on instagram. The theme for the day was 'brights' so I decided to wear this bright bag and kimono together. I really liked the combination, and I've worn them together before (without a baby bump).

Nice casual outfit to do the daycare drop off / pickup, work from home and go to my OB appointment in the afternoon.

Why I wore it:

The style challenge was over when I wore this outfit, but I'd been thinking that the bright bag would work really nicely with the navy floral print kimono. I'd considered wearing this for the 'navy' theme of the challenge, but changed my mind and wore a navy maxi skirt that day instead.

Really liked the colour combination, so wore this on the weekend. It was a nice and comfortable outfit for grocery shopping and toddler T's swimming lesson. Lauren left a comment a while back that this tank and kimono would look together and she was right, I liked the pairing.

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:

Away From Blue | Jeanswest Sol maternity jacquard blue print tank black maxi skirt red bag 3rd trimester

AwayFromTheBlue | Black Maxi skirt, MbMJ Lil' Ukita Bag
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
TankJeanswest Sol Maternity jacquard tank (non-maternity version)
SkirtJeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoesslim gold Havaianas
BagMarc 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.

BagMarc 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!
