BagRebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


Funny weather on Sunday - I had my scarf off and on all day as the rain came in now and then to cool things down. Picked a simple shorts and tee outfit as we had a dog trainer helping us with Cooper, to make sure that he is prepared when baby arrives. I wasn't sure how active we would be, so shorts seemed like a good choice. It's going to be a bit of a shock for Cooper when we arrive home with baby, so we want to make the transition go smoothly for him so he doesn't feel left out.

Oversized tee and pencil skirt combination again today! As I get further into the third trimester and baby grows larger, I'm more and more amazed by the ladies at work who managed to stay stylish and professional through their pregnancies. They made it all look very easy! I certainly felt under-dressed when I checked my calendar at work the morning and realised I had a huge meeting in the afternoon.

In my current project at work there are 3 pregnant ladies, and one of the guys is expecting his second child with his partner. While it's funny that this project seems to be the "baby" project, it's great that we can all share tips and advice with each other as first time mums. It is definitely baby year in the office, there are 3 other babies due in the wider team as well!

BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Hobo in blush pink with silver hardware


Lots more rain and cooler weather on Friday, so I got to bring out one of my scarves that has been packed away for a while. I thought the pink skull print looked really nice with the purple top and peachy bag.

Last time I wore this top, I paired it with a pencil skirt and it really didn't look great. Just too shapeless and long. I much prefer it with the skinny jeans, doesn't seem to overwhelm me as much. What do you think?

After the cooler weather the past few days, the heat was back in time for the weekend! Still looking longingly at my scarves each day...haha! After moving them out of baby's room they are hanging up in the wardrobe in the bedroom and I see them every day as I wait for autumn weather to kick in. Had been planning to wear another one of my many scarves and even my boots today, but was nicely surprised with some sunshine and warmth.

Went with a simple maxi dress outfit due to the heat, with only a few accessories due to the humidity. Spent the afternoon in the city, did some shopping and watched my friend take part in a Salsa dance flash mob. Something a little different from the usual! Was a fun afternoon.

Third Trimester Baby Bump Dressing: Wrap Dresses and Rebecca Minkoff Grey MAM Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:
Away From Blue Autumn Maternity Workwear printed wrap dress third trimester

Rebecca Minkoff soft grey mini morning after bag MAM
Necklace:  custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


I know I just wore this dress last week, but it's such a great office option for the third trimester I couldn't pass by wearing it again so soon! Wearing the same accessories as I did the day before, made it a nice 'no thinking required' option for getting dressed :) Could have added a bit of interest with a colourful bag or shoes, but thought the monochrome grey worked okay. What do you think?


Last worn: maternity wrap dress, studded mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM.



Here's what I wore to work today:
Leona Edmiston Paris tassel print wrap dress third trimester baby bump

RM grey MAM bag
NecklaceDogeared silver wishbone necklace
Dress: Leona Edmiston Paris tassel print wrap dress
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Today I thought I'd try a wrap dress again, this time one of my non-maternity ones. Definitely wasn't as comfortable with the bump as the maternity wrap dress Although it is a pretty dress and a lovely print I found myself fussing and trying to readjust it over the bump all day. Wardrobe options really do decline in the third trimester! It's nice seeing how well baby is growing though. And the extra colour from the print was nice after yesterday's monochrome outfit.
Indoor photos as it was pouring with rain all day - hopefully the cooler weather is here to stay, as it hasn't felt much like Autumn recently.
