Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag, Jeanswest Maternity Denim Shorts and Singlets

While baby has arrived, I've got a few more pregnancy outfits scheduled to share on the blog, as I enjoy the newborn cuddles and try to avoid going out too often as we adjust to life with two under 2!


Two casual denim shorts outfits with my Balenciaga tempete day bag. Hard to believe it's almost 7 years old! This is why I like to splurge on accessories. They last a long time and unlike clothes, always fit - even during pregnancy.

What I wore:

Away From Blue | Summer Shorts Third Trimester Maternity Tank outfit printed kimono Bal day bag

AwayFromTheBlue | Balenciaga pearly grey wrap bracelet Balenciaga tempete day bag
JacketSomedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono (on sale!)
Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
SingletJeanswest maternity tank in sea glass
ShortsJeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver beaded bracelet set, Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

When I was trying to think of different outfit combinations with my limited third trimester capsule wardrobe, I was having a look back through past blog photos and was surprised I hadn't worn this tank and kimono together before! I really like the pairing, glad I gave it a go.

Wore this for a day out in Brisbane with my mum and toddler T, we went to the baby and toddler expo and got a lot of great things. In the evening, we had dinner at the in-laws. I'd usually change and try get a little dressed up for dinner, but felt happy and comfortable in this so just wore the same thing in the evening.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, Somedays Lovin' kimono, green maternity tank, boyfriend denim shorts, HavaianasBalenciaga tempte day bag.

Other ways to wear: printed kimono and a maxi skirt, green maternity tank with gold accessories, boyfriend denim shorts and a novelty pregnancy teeBalenciaga tempte day bag and a blue dress.

BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This is an outfit combination I've worn before, the singlet and shorts together. Different accessories this time though, to try change it up just a little. It was another hot and humid day - despite it being autumn Brisbane hasn't turned down the summer temperatures yet! Just wanted something simple and easy for taking toddler T to playgroup.

Really liked the monochrome look of this outfit with the blue Balenciaga bag and the blue singlet and shorts.


Last worn: printed maternity singlet, maternity bermuda denim shorts, Havaianas (above), Balenciaga temptete day bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue printed singlet and a red bag, bermuda denim shorts and a striped tank, blue Balenciaga day bag with pink and purple.

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:

AwayFromBlue | Summer Third Trimester Jeanswest maternity tank denim short red bag kimono

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.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarersred printed kimono, black maternity tank, maternity boyfriend shorts, gold Havaianas, Marc by Marc Jacobs Lil' Ukita Bag.

Other ways to wear: pattern mixing with printed kimono and striped tank, black maternity tank with blue and purple, maternity boyfriend shorts and a wrap top, Marc by Marc Jacobs Lil Ukita Bag in the office.

BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster

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.

Cross Body Bags and Maternity Tanks and Shorts: Summer SAHM Style

While it's autumn in Australia, I'll be continuing to share more summer outfits. Because I'm a little behind with blogging and because Brisbane isn't showing any signs of reducing the 30+ degree temperatures we've had over summer.

More singlets and shorts summer outfits. It really is the best way to keep as cool as possible in the third trimester, if you don't count a bikini as acceptable clothing outside of the pool/beach! To vary things a little, one brighter outfit and one neutral outfit, both with different cross body bags.

What I wore:

Away From Blue | lace kimono jeanswest jenni maternity singlet georgie boyfriend denim shorts LV speedy B

AwayFromTheBlue | Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene speedy bandouliere cross body bag 30
JacketShein cream lace kimono (C/O)
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (C/O)
TankJeanswest maternity tank in sea glass
ShortsJeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoesslim gold Havaianas
BagLouis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

Felt like it had been a while (4 months!) since I last wore this lace kimono so decided to get it out again. Had to take toddler T to a checkup at the doctors in the morning, then we had his gymboree class.

I've been wearing this gold necklace a lot recently - it seems to go with everything, and although the stone is turquoise I thought I'd give it a try with the green tank. Didn't mind the combination.


Last worn: lace kimono, green maternity tank, maternity boyfriend shorts, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere.

Other ways to wearlace kimono and chambray dress, green maternity tank and navy kimono, maternity shorts and a non-maternity top, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and skinny jeans.

Necklace: Australian coin and crest necklace
SingletJeanswest maternity tank in black
ShortsJeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster

Why I wore it:

Another day, another maternity singlet and shorts combo, but this time with a different cross body bag. While the LV speedy bag I wore above is a nice neutral for a bright outfit, this time it was a bright bag and a neutral outfit.

In case you missed me sharing about it on twitter, I had a chat with Eileen about handbags for Sugarmama.tv. I shared my must-have bags, as she's currently writing about capsule wardrobe planning. I said a cross body bag was a real essential for mums. Now that toddler T spends almost all his time outside of his stroller, cross body bags have been really helpful! I'm starting to think I might be wearing nothing but cross body bags by the time baby comes along. Just as well I have a few in my handbag collection to pick from!


Last worn: black maternity tank, maternity denim shorts, Havaianas, Marc by Marc Jacobs Lil Ukita bag.

Jeanswest Maternity Tanks, Denim Shorts and Rebecca Minkoff Metallic Silver Mini MAC Bag

Maternity tanks and denim shorts have become my go-to for the hot Queensland summer. I'm trying to vary the outfits a little by wearing different accessories, and sometimes adding a kimono, but as I mentioned before I'm seeing out the last trimester of my pregnancy mainly wearing the few maternity pieces I have. I've essentially ended up with a capsule wardrobe, so there are frequent repeats. When the clothes are so comfortable though, I don't mind repeating them often!

What I wore: 

Away From Blue | Black tank boyfriend denim shorts silver accessories third trimester OOTD

Away From The Blue | Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC Tiffany bracelet stack
NecklaceJeanswest Taki necklace (C/O)
TankJeanswest Carla maternity cut out tank (non-maternity version)
Shorts: Jeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in blue!)

Why I wore it:

Was surprised to find that I hadn't worn this necklace and tank together before - seems like a really obvious choice. I like wearing statement necklaces with this black tank, it's the perfect backdrop for it.

Wore this to go to Toddler T's first swimming lesson, and then have lunch with the in-laws.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, black maternity tank, maternity boyfriend shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wearblack maternity tank and a magenta bag, maternity boyfriend shorts and a ninja baby tee, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and a maxi dress.

TankJeanswest Sol Maternity jacquard tank (non-maternity version)
ShortsJeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in black!)

Why I wore it:

I appreciated the simplicity of the tank and denim shorts combo on this day, it was really busy! I didn't even get time to share this outfit on instagram like usual. Had a lot of running around to do. After playgroup in the morning, toddler T had a different gymboree class in the afternoon. It was really fun! He's so used to the same room and teacher each week, so experiencing a different class meant he was even more excited than usual.

I was glad I'd worn denim shorts - unlike skirts they are much more practical for running around with a toddler at gymboree.

Jeanswest Maternity Bermuda Denim Shorts, Singlets, Kimonos and Rebecca Minkoff Mini MACs

Because you can never have too much of a good thing...continuing with my summer pregnancy outfit formula. Maternity denim shorts, singlets and printed kimonos. And my cross body Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bags for hands-free toddler T wrangling. Despite only wearing these maternity shorts a few times in my last pregnancy, experiencing the third trimester during summer has meant I've been wearing them a lot this time!

What I wore:

Away From Blue | Third Trimester Australia Day Summer green and gold outfit

AwayFromTheBlue | Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)
Jacket: Cotton On 'Gemma' cocoon kimono in Laos blossom navy print
NecklaceHouse of Harlow gold multi-strand necklace
TankJeanswest maternity tank in sea glass
ShortsJeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoesslim gold Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow gold multi-strand bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I wore this for Australia day (I'm just very behind with blogging!). We had our annual Australia day BBQ the weekend before, as DH had to work on the day. We had a quiet one at home, spending some time with the in-laws in the afternoon.

Wanted to wear some green and gold to mark the occasion, so this gold House of Harlow necklace and bracelet set came in useful against the green maternity tank. And of course the aquamarine mini MAC bag as I love how it looks with green.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, floral kimono, green maternity singlet, Jeanswest long maternity shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wearfloral kimono and a statement necklace, green maternity singlet and LV speedy BJeanswest maternity shorts with a non-maternity teeRebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC with yellow.

TankJeanswest maternity tank in white
ShortsJeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

This outfit was a little less thought out than the first one! Had to pop out to get some groceries and pick up some medicine for an unwell toddler T. While I do love my boyfriend denim maternity shorts, these Bermuda ones are the most comfortable and so they were an obvious choice to wear again. And a printed kimono and plain maternity singlet again too. Simple summer third trimester dressing.

Other ways to wear: printed kimono and a maxi skirt, white maternity tank in the office,  denim maternity shorts and a striped teeRebecca Minkoff mini MAC for a dinner date.

Printed Kimonos, Denim Shorts and Rebecca Minkoff Plum Mini MAB Tote Bag

If you've been reading my blog recently you'll notice I have been falling back on a simple outfit formula to help cope with the heat while being pregnant over summer. Maternity tanks, denim shorts, printed kimonos. The two outfits below are variations on that theme, keeping the accessories the same because I've been loving using my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

What I wore: 

Away From Blue Blog | Somedays Lovin' Yakuza printed kimono maternity singlet denim shorts summer outfit

AwayFromTheBlue | Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag faux fur pom pom charm
JacketSomedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono (on sale!)
Necklace: Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (C/O)
TankJeanswest maternity tank in white
ShortsJeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoesslim gold Havaianas
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

I've worn this kimono and white tank together before, with a maxi skirt and I liked the combination so it made sense to wear it again. Wore this to take toddler T to his gymboree session.

The kimono has little purple flowers on it so the purple mini MAB bag was a nice choice to add some more colour.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Somedays Lovin' kimono, white maternity tank, rolled denim maternity shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wearprinted kimono and a maxi skirt, white maternity tank with pink and blue, rolled denim maternity shorts and a striped tank, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote and a maxi dress.

SingletJeanswest maternity tank in black
ShortsJeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

I really liked everything about the outfit above, so I repeated it again the next week when Toddler T and I went to a playdate. Purple and blue is a colour combination I really like to wear, and I love the purple mini MAC bag with the blue denim and printed kimono.

While the two outfits are incredibly similar, I think changing the colours involved makes them look quite different. Or I hope so, otherwise you're going to get really bored when I stick to this outfit formula for the rest of the third trimester ;)

Non-Maternity Tops in The Third Trimester with Denim Shorts and Balenciaga Magenta Day Bag

While I do have a good collection of maternity tops in this pregnancy thanks to the Jeanswest sales, I still want to try wear some regular non-maternity tops as long as possible. I figured I'd best squeeze myself into them before the third trimester baby bump grows too large!


What I wore:

AwayFromBLue | Third Trimester Denim Shorts and Tee outfit bright pink accessories

AwayFromTheBlue | Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta silver Tiffany bracelet stack
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)
Necklace: pink beaded disc necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversize tee in black (also in grey)
ShortsJeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

I wore the striped version of this tee at 40+ weeks pregnant last time around, so I was confident I'd be able to fit into this black one for a little while. I did forget that I had covered up the neckline with a scarf last time though. I didn't feel very comfortable with this and kept grabbing and pulling at the neckline through the day. If I wear this tee (or any of the other colours I have it in...) again in pregnancy I'll definitely be layering it with something.

Trying to find the last time I wore this black tee, it's been over a year and a half! I'm sure I've worn it more recently, maybe I just can't find the post. Or maybe I just have too many clothes if a great basic like this is hardly worn!

Added the pink bag and necklace for a bit of colour, just a quiet day taking toddler T to his gymboree lesson.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, Atmos&Here black tee, Jeanswest maternity denim shorts, HavaianasBalenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wearAtmos&Here black tee in the office, maternity denim shorts and a floral kimono, Balenciaga magenta day bag in the office.

AwayFromTheBlue | Balenciaga 05 magenta day bag silver and turquoise bracelets
Necklace: Eye Candy LA gold and turquoise cuff necklace
TankGlassons striped tank in black and white
TopAtmos & Here Arlene wrap top in navy (new purchase)
ShortsJeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoesslim gold Havaianas (on sale!)
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver beaded bracelet set
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

This top was one of my boxing day purchases! I mentioned when I bought it that I thought it would be ideal for post-baby wear. The wrap top has a press-stud for modesty which also makes it perfect for breastfeeding, so I'm sure to get a lot of wear out of it.

When my sale parcel arrived, I tried this top on and was pleased to find it easily accommodated the baby bump. I put it away in my wardrobe to wear later and so when I finally got around to wearing it, the bump was much bigger. I was tugging at this top all day also, just trying to pull it down! Definitely won't get worn again until after baby arrives.


Last worn: striped tank, Jeanswest maternity shorts, gold Havaianas, Balenciaga magenta day bag (above). First time I've worn the wrap top as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wearstriped tank and a maxi skirt, Jeanswest maternity shorts and the ninja baby tee, Balenciaga magenta day bag and a graphic tee.

Jeanswest Maternity Tanks and Denim Shorts in Third Trimester With Balenciaga Magenta Day Bag

When I was post-Christmas sales shopping I had some Jeanswest vouchers to spend. I splurged on a couple more maternity tanks, even though I was close to the end of the second trimester. I'm struggling a bit with the summer heat and I'm finding singlet and shorts is a great go-to outfit, so I felt the late pregnancy purchase was justified. I'm sure to get a lot of wear out of these in the final trimester! I'm wearing both of the tanks below.

What I wore:

Away From Blue | Singlet and Shorts Third Trimester Bright accessories statement necklace

AwayFromTheBlue | Balenciaga Magenta day bag silver tiffany bracelets
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Eye Candy LA 'Sasha' statement necklace
SingletJeanswest Carla Maternity Cut out tank (non-maternity version, new purchase)
ShortsJeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

It's the first time I've worn this tank. I'd saved it for a hot day so I didn't cover up the awesome laser cut detail with a kimono, but it hasn't really shown up well in the photo! It has laser cutouts on the shoulders and on the back, you can see it better on the Jeanswest site.

I thought the bright statement necklace and colourful bag dressed up a casual outfit nicely, and added a lovely touch of colour. I had the day off to relax and unwind and I spent some time with my mum in the afternoon.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Jeanswest maternity shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga magenta day bag. First time I've worn this tank as it's a recent purchase.

AwayFromTheBlue | Balenciaga 2005 magenta day hobo bag silver turquoise bracelets

ShortsJeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver beaded bracelet set
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

Unlike my other tank in the first outfit, this is the second wearing of this one that I bought at the same time. I'm loving the print on this. The material is different to my other Jeanswest maternity tanks too, not as stretchy but very soft so it's lovely to wear. Wore this to work from home.

Kept the same bag as I love the way the magenta pops against the blue.

As it's the second time I've worn this tank and I'm reviewing everything I buy after wearing it twice in a month to see if I'm buying things that will be well used in my wardrobe, my purchase review:

I love this tank. It's different from the other maternity tanks I have as it has a print, it's light and cool to wear and of course it's in my favourite colour. Even though I only have a few months left in my pregnancy I'm glad I bought this. Otherwise I'd end up wearing nothing but the three plain maternity singlets I had before!


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (above), Jeanswest printed maternity tank, maternity boyfriend shorts, Havaianas (above), Balenciaga day bag (above).

Other ways to wear: printed maternity tank in the office, maternity boyfriend shorts and a floral kimono, Balenciaga day bag and a maxi skirt.
