Non-Maternity Clothes in Third Trimester: Dresses and Leggings and Sales!

Here's what I wore to spend the day with my sister on Friday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: gold heart shaped necklace layered with vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Zara printed bib front tunic dress
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Leggings: Cotton On
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow


On Friday my sister and I went into the city for lunch, shopping, and to check out the Reebonz handbag sale at the Hilton. Although I fell in love with a Balenciaga tote bag (out of my budget now with baby on the way) and a Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet (vetoed by my sister as she didn't like the colour) we left the sale empty handed.

Was still a great day though. We had fun shopping after lunch, and had dinner and watched a movie in the evening. Not entirely sure why Queen Street Mall had these decorated horses, but lined up with the tourists to have my photo taken anyway. Something a little different!

This was a nice simple outfit, good for walking around all day, and the dress accommodated both the baby bump and all of the delicious food we ate! Had been wanting to try pair this tunic dress with leggings since I worried it was getting a little short in the second trimester with the bump in the way. Pleased I got a chance to give it a try in the third trimester, was much more comfortable with the leggings underneath.


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarer, printed Zara dress, gold glitter belt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff yellow Swing bag.

Here's what I wore today:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers

Leggings: Cotton On
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual plus two metal and fabric Roie Designs bracelets

Enjoyed the dress and leggings combo yesterday, so wore it again today for a relaxing day. Didn't need a belt though as this dress has it's own built-in belt attached :) Spent some time with the in-laws, they've picked their "grandparent names" for baby to call them. Baby will be extremely lucky and spoiled by both sets of grandparents.

Was a nicer day in Melbourne on Friday so I left my jacket behind. I shopped the Reebonz offline sale, got lost for a while, did some more shopping and went out for dinner. I'm carrying my sale purchase in the photo ;)
Was pleasantly surprised to see that the Reebonz Melbourne offline sale is much larger than the Brisbane ones - it was impossible to get one photo of the entire room!

You can view the photos from the Melbourne Reebonz sale here, and see what I bought in the sale below.

Last worn: yellow sunnies, jersey dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, Fran handbag.

French Connection Jersey Dress, Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC | Printed Top, Pencil Skirt, Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag

Here's what I wore on Wednesday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: gift from DH
Dress: French Connection star dancing jersey dress in red rust/almond
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


On Wednesday I worked from home. I wore a simple dress to keep cool, although I did end up needing the air conditioning quite early on in the morning! It was easily the hottest day of the week! Managed to take Cooper a walk before the big storm came by, although it didn't tire him out a lot and he was still a bit scared by the loud thunder.


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarers, star print dress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: House of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold
Top: French Connection black paisley printed empire top (with turquoise Cotton On singlet underneath)
Skirt: Asos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


I am beginning to conclude that empire waist tops are not helping me hide the baby bump, haha. My friend sent me a message at work asking if anyone had approached me as the bump looked particularly large today! Don't think I'll be hiding baby for much longer from my colleagues.

This top is another wardrobe find, from the small pile of clothes I spoke about on Monday. It used to be one of my favourite tops. Had a look and there are a couple of photos of me wearing it in 2009 so I'm guessing I got it around then, 5 years ago! It's going to be great over the coming months as it's very comfy.


Last worn: French Connection top, Asos grey pencil skirt, metallic gold mouse flats, Chloe Marcie hobo bag.

I love all of these pieces separately, just not feeling them all together. It was such an overcast day today I wore my glitter flats to cheer me up, but maybe another shoe would have been better with this outfit. What do you think?

Jersey Dress, DinoDirect Jacket, Flats, Balenciaga Part Time

Here's what I wore to work today:

Jacket: Apricot half sleeve belted jacket C/O DinoDirect
Dress: French Connection star dancing jersey dress in red rust/almond (similar here)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs Two Tone Logo Plaque Flats in blush and black (similar here)

Alice from DinoDirect contacted me to some time ago offer me a voucher to spend on clothes on the website, and I picked this jacket as I thought it would be perfect for spring. It was a little windy this evening taking photos so it was tricky to get a good one of the jacket as it kept catching in the wind. The only non-windy one picture when I'd taken the jacket off, and then Cooper decided to stand right in front of me, hehe!  Just had to share that one.

I like that I can share these kinds of silly photos with you all. I'm not doing a massive full scale photoshoot production for every blog post, I'm just taking a picture of what I wear every day hoping to get some feedback and suggestions for my next outfit :) Thank you all for reading.


Don't forget to check out my facebook Reebonz goodie bag giveaway! It ends on Friday.


The dress was last worn here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn this jacket I received courtesy of Alice at Dino Direct.
