More Wardrobe Edits, Shop My Closet and Embellished Maxi Dress and Tank Outfits

First up, I've hit that point in my wardrobe clear-out process where I've listed some things on ebay. Check it out if you want to see what has happened to some of the things that have been leaving my wardrobe lately, or if you're after a designer bag for a bargain price. I've been clearing out my handbag collection too.

Secondly, this is a bit of a delayed post. I usually post 3 times a week but I missed Wednesday. I have photos ready and waiting, just no time to actually write a blog post. Baby T has been a bit out of sorts lately and if your baby is having a tough time and needs extra cuddles, you give them extra cuddles and everything else can wait. I'll happily divert my attention from blogging to baby grizzles :) Hopefully I can get back into the blog groove now and type up a few posts. I'd been relying on the little stockpile of scheduled posts I had for a while. On with the outfits.

What I wore:

Jeanswest 'Sierra' embellished black maxi dress studded bag and shoes BBQ dinner outfit

Miu Miu Cammeo studded clutch bag blush pink
Dress: Jeanswest 'Sierra' embellished black maxi dress (new purchase)
ShoesBalenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus Nicole by Nicole Miller bracelet
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag

Why I wore it:

I was looking forward to the first wearing of my new black maxi dress! We had a BBQ dinner with family so this seemed like a nice dress to wear. The neckline has some beautiful beaded embellishment, so I didn't wear a necklace with it. I did add a bit of bling with my bracelet and the studded bag and sandals. I really like wearing the bag and sandals together, I do it often! I think the studded shoes and studded bag is a cute combination.

This bag isn't hanging around in my wardrobe though - while it is a cross body bag it's not ideal for using with baby as the clasp on the front can be a little fiddly while you're trying to close the bag with one hand and prevent baby crawling into danger with the other. It drove me a little crazy through the day. It's not listed on ebay, I'm consigning it with a local store instead. They know more about Miu Miu than I do!

Leaving my wardrobe: Miu Miu studded clutch



Last worn: Balenciaga studded sandals, Miu Miu studded bag. First time I've worn the dress as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: a simple black maxi dress and a snood, pink sandals and a blue dress, Miu Miu bag worn as a clutch.





What I wore:

Casual Autumn Outfit red skinny jeans french connection printed tank LV speedy

Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere worn with red skinny jeans
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
NecklaceHouse of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
DressFrench Connection Moon Moire printed top
Jeans: Emerson red skinny jeans (new purchase)
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
BagLouis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere (with Coach feather bag charm)

Why I wore it:

Last time I wore this top I was in the third trimester of pregnancy, and pleased to find a regular non-maternity top I could wear. I wasn't too impressed with how it looked though. I wasn't really enjoying wearing it this time around either. I think it's time for it to leave my wardrobe.

This outfit was really a fail all around though! As hubby had gone off to work, he commented on how odd the weather was. It was cloudy and overcast, definitely not looking like the hot day they had predicted. I took advantage of the cold weather and wore my newly purchased skinny jeans, a $5 op-shop (thrift shop) bargain. I had some errands to run with baby T, so we headed to the local Westfield. By the time we re-emerged from the air-conditioned environment in the afternoon, I realised my mistake. The clouds had cleared up and it had warmed up a lot. I changed into shorts as soon as I got home!

Leaving my wardrobe: French Connection Printed Top




Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, French Connection printed top, HavaianasLouis Vuitton speedy B. First time I've worn the jeans as they are a new purchase.

Other ways to wear: printed top in the second trimesterred skinny jeans with a blue top, Louis Vuitton Bandouliere speedy with a dress.

Casual and Comfy Grey Tee and Skinny Jeans. Dressed Up With Bodycon And Studs

Continuing on with posting the backlog of my #JaNEWary style challenge outfits. One really casual and comfortable outfit, and another a little out of my comfort zone.


Here's what I wore to go sightseeing with my grandparents:
Away From Blue Aussie Blogger Casual Outfit Grey Tee Skinny Jeans LV Speedy
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus necklace in pop
TeeAtmos&Here 'Amalphi' luxe grey tee
JeansJeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagLouis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere (with Coach feather bag charm)


The style challenge was 'your most flattering trousers', which worked out well as it was a bit of a cooler day and jeans were perfect. Spent it by the sea with my grandparents enjoying the sea breeze, and having a really nice lunch. These skinny jeans have to be my favourite -  bought this same style and wash in the maternity range when I was pregnant too. I have a lot of skinny jeans but these always look good, definitely my most flattering pair.

This is the second time I've worn this grey tee since I bought it in December, so my purchase review:
I really like this tee! As I mentioned when I first wore it, I do have a lot of grey tees. But I like wearing them! It was hard to wear this twice in January after buying it in December, only because I was doing another style challenge and a grey tee wasn't one of the prompts, ha! I'm pleased I bought this tee, and I'll get a lot of wear out of it, but I'm starting to think I should stop buying grey tees as I have so many...


Last worn: grey tee, skinny jeans, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere.


Here's what I wore to go out for dinner with my grandparents:
Away From Blue bohoo paisley print bodycon dress studded miu miu clutch

Away From Blue Miu Miu Cammeo studded clutch mixed metal bracelet stack
Dress: gifted boohoo.com paisley print dress in bodycon
ShoesBalenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


The Style challenge was 'be outrageous in a good way'. Bodycon dress with studded accessories felt outrageous. Made me glad that one of the breastfeeding singlets I'd picked up during pregnancy was a nursing shapewear piece from Jeanswest. Although there was no chance of breastfeeding in this dress, I enjoyed the 'tummy trimmer' feature of the singlet!

My mum picked up this dress for me on one of her op-shopping (thrifting) trips with my grandma. I've never owned anything from bohoo.com before, and it's a size larger than I'd usually wear, but it was just the right size for me. Reading the tag, I thought it might look a little loose on me and I could belt it, but I can't imagine trying to squeeze myself into my normal size in this! Maybe that's why it was donated to the op shop. It is a really cute print, but I'll continue to need to wear shapewear underneath it! Was a nice dressy option for dinner with my grandparents.


Last worn: Balenciaga studded sandals, Miu Miu clutch. First time I've worn the dress.

Maternity Dresses! Maxi Dress Baby Shower Outfit, Wrap Dress For The Office

Here's what I wore on Sunday:
away from blue Third Trimester Pregnancy Maxi Dress Baby Shower Outfit

miu miu studded bag
Necklace: gold heart shaped necklace layered with vintage gold chain
DressMEV Havana maxi dress C/O Zibibo
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle, Hermes pink clic clac
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


Had a busy Sunday! After Saturday's trip to Australia Zoo, I had another luxurious pregnancy massage booked in the morning to get rid of all of the anticipated aches and pains from all of the walking around. Then it was a spot of shopping with my sister, the baby shower at my parents, and a BBQ dinner at the in-laws.

The baby shower was really fun. Baby got so many gifts! We had put together a little registry advising people that gifts weren't necessary, and suggesting a few little things if people wanted to buy something. So many people got us things, it was really unexpected and I got a little teary opening presents.

I'd initially been against the idea of a baby shower, but warmed up to it more during the pregnancy. They aren't very common in Australia. It was such a lovely way to spend Mother's Day though, and I'm very thankful to my mum and sister who put so much effort into the party. Spending time with friends, family and with my mother and mother in law celebrating the impending arrival of their grandchild was really special. Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day too. :)


Last worn: purple maternity maxi dress, gold glitter belt, Havaianas, Miu Miu studded cammeo bag.



Here's what I wore to work today:
third trimester office wear soon maternity workwear printed wrap dress

balenciaga part time bag 2010 black silver hardware
Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with GSH


After a busy weekend, simplicity was needed, so went with this Soon Maternity wrap dress for work again. Made getting ready easy, and was perfect for the many meetings I had.

Shocked to search the blog and find that I haven't carried this bag for 5 months - I need to get better at rotating through my handbags. It's a little tricky now that they are all stored in boxes under the bed though, bending down to get things is not the easiest manoeuvre when pregnant, haha!


Last worn: maternity wrap dress, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga Part Time bag.

My sister came over for lunch on Saturday as she just got back from her holiday and wanted to catch up. I got to see all the photos and hear all the stories, and I'm very jealous! She had an incredible time. She brought me back a beautiful sarong from her trip too.

We had to go out in the morning and actually buy some groceries so we had enough food in the house to make a decent lunch, so I dressed as simply as possible to try and beat the heat. A little bit of print mixing with the striped skirt and geometric tank too.


Last worn: Sass and Bide tank, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.



Here's what I wore to go shopping and have lunch with my parents today:
black and white print maxi dress for second trimester baby bump

SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: gifted gold heart shaped necklace
DressPearl black and white jersey maxi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus pink and gold bracelet stack
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


Just wore a simple maxi dress as it was so hot today. I've mentioned before that we are turning the spare room (currently being used as my wardrobe room) into baby's nursery. I'm trying to reduce what I own, as well as finding better ways to store what I'm keeping. My wall of handbags is going to be retired and everything moved from display into storage boxes.

Went to Ikea today to get a few more boxes and some other organisational things. As my parents live nearby, we decided to have lunch with them there too. Lunch was delicious, but we ended up spending almost 4 hours shopping there, oops! Got everything I needed though to help with the next stage of the wardrobe organisation/clear out project, and a few little extras.


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarers, printed maxi dress, Wittner studded sandals, Miu Miu studded bag.

Australia Day: Green and Gold, Funkita Bikini | Asos Red Leopard Print Dress, Miu Miu Clutch

Here's what I wore on Australia Day:
Away From Blue Second trimester Pregnancy Outfit Australia Day green and gold tank and jeans

Alexander Wang Dark argon pebbled leather Rocco Bag
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
NecklaceHouse of Harlow gold multi-strand necklace
TopJeanswest Jenni basic singlet in Emerald green (new purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest Maternity slim straight jeans
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted gold bangle set
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon


Green and gold for Australia day of course! Had to use accessories for the theme as I had planned to wear my French Connection silk skirt with this top, like I did on a previous Australia Day, but now the baby bump has grown I have to wear it quite high. Although I could zip it up wearing it above my waist, I worried it would be too short. Luckily my Jeanswest jeans were a good replacement, and I didn't have to worry about the breeze catching the hem of my skirt!

Very sad to have to put the skirt away in the "after baby arrives" box, but it frees up a little more space in my wardrobe. Space for clothes that fit to make it easier to get dressed each day!

If you're curious how the bump is going, I shared the below baby bump pic on instagram. Wearing my new Funkita cossie because it wouldn't be a proper Australia Day without visiting a pool or BBQ ;)
In the end I went for the 'Colour Love Stripes' over the peacock print, and I love it. I ordered a couple of sizes larger than my normal swimwear, so it fits me well for pregnancy. My other bikinis are currently living in the "after baby arrives" box, haha!

BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


Public holiday today, made it a lovely long weekend. Spent some time at home trying to organise my wardrobe and spring clean a little more, so I was just in shorts and a tank. Like a summer version of this 'tidying up' outfit. We are turning the spare room I use as a wardrobe into baby's nursery, so I have a lot more downsizing and cleaning to go. Going from 2 overflowing wardrobes into 1 is not an easy task, so whenever I get the urge to clean or tidy, I get right into it to take advantage of the mood!

DH suggested we take a break for lunch, so I made a bit of an effort and got dressed up in this to go out for lunch and catch a movie. Also had a friend pop by later in the afternoon and give me some advice for work tomorrow, which was lovely :)


Last worn: Ray Bans (above), Asos leopard print dress, Wittner studded sandals, Miu Miu clutch.

Saturday was the peak of our Queensland heatwave, and it was to get up to 41 degrees Celsius in Brisbane. Wore this light and breezy Zara tunic dress to keep cool, and to look a little dressed up for visiting family and attending a birthday dinner in the evening. We survived the day by staying in air conditioning as much as possible, haha!

Today was much cooler than yesterday thankfully. Lots of smoke haze from the Straddie bushfire though. Hope everyone is keeping safe.

Although this skirt has a little bit of volume on it's own, I've paired it with less fitted tops in the past and thought it looked okay, so I thought I would try it again today with the burgundy tee. What do you think?

Melbourne Cup Lace Dress, Floral Headband, Miu Miu Bag | Printed Top, Skinny Jeans, Balenciaga City

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: gifted freshwater pearl necklace
DressAsos midi dress in black lace
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


Slightly fancy with a floral headband today for Melbourne Cup day celebrations at work. Although we did have to be in the office, lunch was catered and we all stopped to grab some food, chat and watch the race. I wasn't sure I was going to put any effort in for the best hat competition, but then my colleague called Monday night asking me to bring some hats in for her to try, so I figured I'd at least add this headband. I bought it back in 2011 to attend a Gala event and haven't ever worn it since, so it was good to wear it again. We didn't win any prizes with our hats, but there was some fierce competition for the best hat title!

Also tried wearing this dress with flats instead of heels after walking past a very chic looking lady in the street wearing this exact dress with cute black flats. Looked better with her height than my petite frame I think!

Sneakily working jeans into my office wear today! I saw these online and bought them knowing that I could probably pass them off as normal pants in the office. There were a few other colleagues wearing denim today so even if anyone did notice that I was wearing jeans, it wasn't a big deal.

I knew I hadn't worn this top in a while, but when I went to find its last appearance on the blog, it's been over a year! It's just been buried so far back in my wardrobe I rarely wear it. Even with all of the clothes I own, I tend to rotate through only a fraction of them. Need to wear this top more often, it's lovely for work.

Nice simple weekend outfit. I decided on the maxi skirt before I realised just how windy it was, haha. Was so hard to get a good picture where the skirt wasn't blowing around all over the place. We went out to the stores in the morning which was good as it was out of the wind ;)

Today's outfit was inspired by StyleUp. I hadn't heard of it before I came across Jen at Thirties Two Cents talking about it, and I signed up to give it a try. They email you every day with an outfit idea! It's a bit hit and miss so far, for some reason they don't have the Brissy temperatures quite right yet. However, I got this outfit suggestion in my email Sunday night and knew I could recreate something very similar for today. Although I swapped the heels for flats, and went for a lace skirt instead of a printed one, the idea came from the email.


Last worn: lace pencil skirt, MbMJ mouse flats, Chloe Marcie hobo. First time I've worn the top as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to go to spend time with friends on Saturday:
Away From Blue what to wear Brisbane riverfire festival fireworks stripe maxi dress

(Don't worry! DH took these photos while he and Cooper walked with me to catch the bus into the city. Cooper stayed at home with DH away from the fireworks and noise).

Dress: Three Dots stripe maxi dress (new purchase)
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Chloe Paddington crystal charm bracelet
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


This dress is one of my latest shopbop purchases. I took it to the tailor to get it shortened a little for me before I could wear it, as it was really long on me. A maxi dress was the perfect thing to wear to spend time with my friends on Saturday and watch the Brisbane Riverfire fireworks. Although I took my denim jacket in case I got cold, I didn't need it after the rain cleared up for a hot and sunny afternoon. We had a great view of the Story Bridge, yummy food and it was nice catching up with everyone.
