Simple outfit for Wednesday as I had a lot of running around to do at work. This tee is another one of the things mum picked up for me on our shopping trip the other weekend. I love my grey tees! :) Added a bit of colour with my orange Balenciaga bag. It's been getting a bit ignored lately, I've been using smaller bags more often.


Last worn: tartan check pencil skirt, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga rouille work bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent gift.

Wanted to wear blue today, so picked out this dress and bag. Added the blazer as it was a little chilly this morning. I'm glad I own a few dresses and tops that have a bit of wiggle room to accommodate the growing bump! :)

Excited to share that I was featured as February's Southern Hemisphere Style Blogger over at Tara Honeybird! Go check out my interview here.

BagBalenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


Dug this top out from the back of my wardrobe, it's the first wearing of it on the blog. Be prepared to see a few more "new" items rescued from my wardrobe coming out now, have been spending a fair bit of time trying to clean my wardrobe and found lots of forgotten things tucked in a corner! I wonder just how much is still hiding in there....

I used to wear this top a lot to uni and to work when I worked in a non-public facing office role and wore jeans every day. Over 5 years ago! It's obvious now why it got less wear when I changed jobs and was no longer able to wear denim every day, not a flattering silhouette.

It prompted one lady in the office to come over and ask me if I was pregnant, so not the best outfit to wear when I'm disguising the baby bump at work. Quite comfortable though, and will see me through the next few months easily! :)


Last worn: Ray Ban, tartan pencil skirt, black flats, Balenciaga sapphire city bag. First time I've worn the top on the blog.

Linking up with Style Sessions, Spotlight Weekly Linkup today.



Here's what I wore to work today:
away from blue disguising baby bump in office half tuck tank pencil skirt

Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM bag
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
NecklaceDogeared silver wishbone necklace
TopJeanswest 'Darcy' embellished top in Winter coral
SkirtAsos graphic print pencil skirt (maternity version here)
ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


I thought that the sequin embellishments on this top were a nice pairing with the graphic print on the pencil skirt, and really liked the combination. Funny how much smaller the bump looks today because of the different clothes too! :)


Last worn: Ray Ban (see above), sequin detail tank, graphic print pencil skirt, glitter flats, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM.

Back In the Office: Striped Shirt and Pencil Skirt | Asos Pink Singlet and Tartan Checks, Sarah Conners Bag

Here's what I wore for my first day back at work after my break:
Away From Blue rolled sleeve shirt over pencil skirt untucked office wear

Sunglasses: gifted Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Shirt: gifted Target mint stripe shirt
SkirtAsos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: gifted Corelli metallic and white handbag


Sadly, it was time for me to go back to work on Wednesday. Dressed a little lazily by just wearing a shirt over a pencil skirt, and tied my hair back in a messy bun. This shirt is a Christmas gift from my parents, and it's so soft and comfortable! I'm not normally a shirt person as I hate ironing, but I am more than happy to make an exception for this one :) Will be good for casual weekend wear as well as office wear.

The bag is a recent gift too, one of my friends gave it to me for my birthday.


Last wornRaybansgrey pencil skirt, studded mouse flats.



Here's what I wore to work today:
Pink satin singlet asos checked plaid tartan panelled pencil skirt office outfit

sarah conners python bag
NecklaceHouse of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
TopAsos satin singlet in pink
Belt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check (new purchase, on sale)
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold bracelet set
BagSarah Conners python bag in ebony


Despite trying to reduce my wardrobe this year, I was swayed by the latest Asos sale. 70% off, and an extra 10% off sale with code 'AUJAN10'. Difficult to resist! I bought a top and 2 pencil skirts for work, all practical purchases I easily justified, haha. This pencil skirt is super comfortable, and it got a lot of compliments today. I'm just trying to distract myself from the fact that I just increased the number of skirts I own by another 2 pieces, as I have no intentions of getting rid of any skirts at the moment!


Last worn: pink singlet, patent mouse flats, Sarah Conners python bag. First time I've worn the skirt as it's a recent purchase.
