Busy Saturday! We test drove another car, stopped by the in-laws and did some more baby shopping :) Wanted to be comfortable and cool with the heat. Picked my usual pregnancy default of a maxi skirt, and as I'd worn a grey tank decided to add some colour with accessories. Thought that the bright yellow clutch looked quite nice with the yellow stones in the necklace.


Last worn: Ray-ban wayfarergrey marle tank, black maxi skirt, Havaianas, Balenciaga mangue clutch.



Here's what I wore today:
Away From Blue Pregnancy adding colour with a bright bag aqua and grey Oscar's law

NecklaceHouse of Harlow 5 station necklace in black and silver
TopOscar's Law 'Break the puppy trade' tee
SkirtTarget grey marle maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine


Maxi skirt again! They really are the easiest pregnancy outfit option - especially on hot days! Added some colour to my outfit with my cute little aquamarine RM mini MAC bag.  Felt this tee was a good one to wear today with puppy farming and the sale of puppies in pet stores being in the news again recently. I don't agree with selling dogs in pet stores at all, 'adopt don't shop' is what I always say! :) We adopted Cooper from our local shelter and we are so grateful to have our furry little pup! You can sign a petition here to ask Westfield to stop pet stores selling animals in their shopping centres if you are interested.

Balenciaga Coquelicot Velo, Fashion Item Friday Linkup

I'm co-Hosting the Fashion Item Friday link-up today, so scroll down and link up your latest fashion-related post :)

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

TopAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee (new purchase)
SkirtSoon Maternity Flora fold pencil skirt
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga Coquelicot Velo


Thursday was supposed to be a nice quiet day at work without any meetings, so I dressed comfortably. Of course the day didn't turn out anything like I planned and I ended up with a few meetings and some very urgent tasks to work on, haha. Always the way!

This tee is another new purchase. I've bought more non-maternity clothes than maternity clothes this pregnancy I think! I know these oversize tees will fit me post-pregnancy as I am ordering my usual size, and they are not as overwhelmingly long on my petite frame as most maternity tops are.

The Iconic keeps having sales and extra coupon codes that just tempt me too much ;) They currently have a 50% off sale at the moment, and I've again got a cart full of wishlist items....


Last worn: Soon Maternity pencil skirt, Wittner black flats, Balenciaga coquelicot Velo. First time I've worn the tee as it's a new purchase.




Here's what I wore for casual Friday today:

Lots of red and some maternity denim for an easy casual Friday :) Should really try change it up a little with this top - I paired it with my Velo bag last time I wore it too!

Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag, Non-Maternity Clothes in Third Trimester. Grey Tee, Maxi Skirt, Aztec Print Dress

Here's what I wore on Tuesday:
asos grey tee target black white stripe maxi skirt worn in third trimester

marc by marc jacobs carob brown fran bag
NecklaceRoie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
TopAsos new forever grey tee (on sale!)
SkirtTarget black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


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!


Last worn: Asos grey tee, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.



Here's what I wore to work today:
Third trimester pregnancy work office outfit printed non maternity dress

mbmj fran bag labradorite bracelets
NecklaceHouse of Harlow Dynamic necklace in gold
Dress: Jeanswest Aztec print dress
Belt: Asos tan skinny belt (came with this cross front dress)
Shoes: New Look brown cut-out detail shoe
Bracelets: the usual plus jade beads and Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


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).
