Simple black and white outfit for Wednesday. Really starting to struggle with finding nice things to wear to work now in the final few weeks of pregnancy. I'm quite looking forward to finishing up soon, and being a lot more casual with what I wear. Based on some previous pregnancies in the office, I know the levels of dress code I can drop to, but I want to try and look as professional as possible despite my limited choices. This was comfortable all day though, and was good to wear to our parenting class after work as well.

Thought that the little bit of print mixing with the leopard scarf and tartan skirt worked well due to the similar colours - what do you think?

More print mixing, and I got to wear my maternity tights! I purchased these tights a couple of months ago when we had a little bit of a cold snap, figuring they would be essentials for the pregnancy. Just wearing them now at 36 weeks, so not as essential as I thought! They were only $8 from Target so I'm not feeling too bad about the purchase.

Picked a pretty dress to wear to work and after today, as we had a birthday dinner for my sister in the evening. The tights kept me warm and the dress was suitable for work and dinner, which saved me trying to find a second outfit to wear for the evening, hehe! I bought this dress in the Jeanswest sale as I loved the paisley print and the subtle print mixing, and guessed it would have no problems accommodating the third trimester baby bump despite being non-maternity.


I've been wearing my Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag a bit this week, but that will change now I have a new handbag purchase! Short reveal video of my latest splurge:
Yep, another Marc by Marc Jacobs bag!


Last worn: Asos ankle boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran (see above). First time I've worn the dress as it's a new purchase.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag and Scarves. Jeanswest Maternity Shirt and Skinny Jeans | Stripe Top and Grey Maxi Skirt

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:
Third trimester Pregnancy wear Jeanswest maternity shirt and jeans print scarf

MbMJ carob brown fran bag
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs print scarf in croc-print
TopJeanswest 'Felicity' maternity shirt in amethyst
PantsJeanswest maternity skinny jeans in black
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Rugged up against the cold on Monday with a scarf, although in the chilly morning I did wish I had added a jacket too. Was really sad when I noticed a huge tear in the back of this shirt in the evening - no idea if I had been walking around like that all day!

Had been hoping to keep on wearing this top and use it as a nursing top. Tucked into jeans or a skirt it would have looked awesome and been really practical with the buttons. Unfortunately, no way to repair the tear at the seam. I paid $9 for it and got 3 wears out of it, not too bad I guess. Definitely would have worn it more if it had stayed together.

This shirt is one of the pieces I picked up in the last Jeanswest 40% off sale. Because I can never turn down something striped, haha! Hopefully I won't manage to tear a hole in this one..... ;)

When this parcel arrived I tried this top on with what I was wearing, the grey maxi skirt. I thought it was a good combination, so decided I'd wear it this way on it's first outing. Plus the scarf to keep me warm when I went out to the doctors. Had to wear thongs (flip flops) though as I puffed up a bit today and shoes were out of the question! Couldn't even get my rings on in the morning!


Last worn: Burberry tartan scarfgrey maxi skirt, Havaianas, MbMJ Fran handbag (see above). First time I've won the shirt as it's a recent purchase.
