Worked from home on Tuesday as I had a doctor's appointment, so wore a simple tee and maxi skirt outfit. Was very comfortable all day! Maxi skirts are fantastic in pregnancy. Especially stretchy elastic waist ones like this one. Plus being non-maternity, I can wear them after pregnancy too. I think this skirt would look great with boots in cooler weather!

While I was tempted to wear a maxi skirt to the office today....I tried to still dress professionally. I know my office has a very casual dress code, and that when it comes to pregnancy they relax the rules even further for us, but I'm "saving" the maxi skirt outfits for the last few weeks at work when I'm sure I'll have nothing else to fit me, haha.

Went with one of my old favourites - my Jeanswest Aztec print dress. Still trying out some current non-maternity wardrobe options that I think will work, so that I can have more than just a few go-to outfits in the third trimester.


Last worn: Aztec print dress, tan belt, brown flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag (see above).

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!

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.
