Oversized Tees. Maternity Shorts, RM Mini MAC, Skull Scarf | Asos Graphic Print Pencil Skirt, MbMJ Fran Bag

Here's what I wore on Sunday:
Casual Weekend Outfit Third Trimester MbMJ grey tee jeanswest maternity shorts alexander mcqueen scarf

Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC bag in berry stripe hermes kelly rubis bracelet
ScarfAlexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
TopMarc by Marc Jacobs blossom pocket tee in grey
ShortsJeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
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.


Last worn: red skull scarf, Marc By Marc Jacobs tee, maternity denim shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff canvas mini MAC.



Here's what I wore to work today:

BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


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!

  4. Well, it seems like you're an great company Mica! That's awesome when others can relate. Always helpful. Great outfits! That's awesome how you guys are preparing Cooper. Only "children" can be something else. HaHaHa

    1. I can't wait for cooler weather so I can wear that one I just bought! It was too much of a bargain to pass up at the time despite the heat, haha!
      Hopefully with the training we are doing Cooper will find the change easy and love his little brother or sister from the very begining :)

  10. Your bags are always the prettiest ones, seriously! Love the outfits :)

  11. You are very responsible getting advice re Cooper's transition. We haven't any children, but over the years (15!!) my dog has been dreadful around children. Of course, I was very strict about how I measured and controlled his behaviour, but I could never really change him. I always cringe when I hear people say, '...he'll be fine with the dog etc...' It's a serious topic, good on you for highlighting. Btw, looking great! Xx

    1. Thanks Flora! We've never really had Cooper around children for a long amount of time, but we do know he can only tolerate them in small doses so we wanted to get some tips and advise and start his relationship off right when baby arrives :) And no matter how much in love they become, I'll always keep an eye on them!

  21. Loving that striped mini MAC!! So cute! I don't know how my dog would do if I brought home a baby! He's so used to being the only baby he probably wouldn't like it at all. Good luck with Cooper! :)

    1. Yes babies always seem to come along in multiples I think! haha! :) It's good having the support there :)

      And we will try to make the change as easy as possible on Cooper so he still feels loved - although no longer being the baby of the family will be a shock for him haha.
