scarf: ASOS

ring: Studio leanne

tight: Sportsgirl

boots: ASOS

Hello there, I've been a terrible blogger but I do have a big excuse! Only 4 and a bit weeks to go until the birth, eek. I'm at the stage where I'm ready to meet this little bundle and comfort is taking over my wardrobe. Today, I'm wearing a Bonds dress which I have been technically wearing as a night dress (shhh don't tell) but I'm scrambling for ideas and comfort is key. 
As always, accessories have been my savour, here wearing an Aztec scarf which I stole from my beloved, oversize ring and these ASOS ankle boots have also been on high rotation. Reckon I'm the only pregnant woman who is more comfortable in a heel than flats. 

A few more additions to my Maternity wardrobe

orange swede boots from Zomp

 Khaki skinny jeans

 A stripey Tee, of course!

 elastic waistband for growing belly

loved the colour of this tee

A few more additions to my Maternity wardrobe, Boots from Zomp and the rest from ASOS Maternity. The boots (instantly gravitated towards the colour) I picked up on sale for $55, reduced from $230 and the ASOS stuff was about $80 for the lot, pretty darn good huh? 

Look forward to putting these together for an outfit post soon!

Wee black mini skirt

top: Genki

skirt: ASOS

bag: Top Shop

shoes: Melissa

cloud necklace: Gifted

belt: Sportsgirl

hair clip: Swarovski

sunnies: Le Specs

Starting the week off with a simple outfit, wee black mini and stripy tee; too easy. The skirt I bought on sale from ASOS ($10 I think) but to my dismay it was three sizes too big; however, I like to wear it with a belt, paper bag style. My stripy Genki tee I wear to death, it goes with everything. To give this outfit some of my personal style, I've added: Melissa shoes with the gold heel to compliment the stud gold belt, Swarovski crystal apple hair clip, of course, the black and white doctors bag that rarely leaves my side and the larger than life Le Spec sunnies, oh and some Russian Red Mac lippie.
So there you have it, a very simple outfit with just a few Sleekit touches.

New Jacquard print capri trousers

Print is high on my fashion agenda at the moment, loving all the bright clashing prints. I came across these jacquard capri trousers on sale at ASOS for $32! I know, (finding it very hard to resist the ASOS bargain). They go perfectly with my recent op shop purchase, Kenneth Cole shoes. I'm escaping the Melbourne winter soon for a spot of sunshine in Queensland and will be packing these for sure.

All new yellow top and pencil skirt

Let me begin by saying, thank you to my lovely readers who commented on the previous post 'Should I buy this Sportsgirl dress', it was fun to get your insights and how cute was the list! I think I fell in love with the print and agree maybe the cut is not complimentary, that said, I reckon if it went on sale I'd still be tempted ; )

Last week, I bought a couple of new things to add to my Autumnal/Winter wardrobe: this bright yellow top, pencil skirt and a tweed play suit (will show you that later in the week), for the grand total of $55! ASOS how I love thee! All bought on sale with a further 15% off.

A pencil skirt gives me good shape, the stretchy fabric has a lot of give which makes it comfortable too. I adore the origami detail on the front. I've never really worn this colour of yellow before but I love the pop of colour, prepare to see these pieces in rotation.

Bright yellow 50s bikini and body issues

Body issues, we all have them, I am currently finding it hard to shed the weight I piled on over Christmas. It's only a few kilos but to be honest I liked the way I was . Thought I would tackle it head on with a bikini shoot; sometimes it pays to take a good hard look at yourself and realise that your torturing yourself for nothing. Sure, I could do with toning up but these shots don't look so bad. Most successful fashion bloggers are photogenic, beautiful and slim, with the exception of a few and I would like to think my blog gives a more realistic documentation of the average woman. I have curves, wobbly bits, boobs and yes, sometimes I have body issues. In order to achieve my goal weight I need to exercise and eat healthy, it's as simple as that. 

I purchased this 50s style bikini from ASOS on sale ($50) because I felt self conscious in a normal low cut and as a result feel much more confident at the beach. If you don't have the perfect body then try work with what you do have, a sarong can help without making you feel that you are completely covered. Check out this previous post on swimwear.

Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, so if like me you are struggling at this time of year, tackle it head on and don't be so hard on yourself. 

Ps After writing this post, I got cold feet and nearly shelved it, thank you Blitherlyunaware for pulling my head in : )

Last night I had the pleasure of attending Show 4 Senso Uniquo as part of the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW). With my ladies in tow, we sampled a few complimentary drinks in the cocktail lounge prior to the event and was delighted to bump into a few of my favourite bloggers.  People whom I have admired and followed from the very beginning of my own blog. Just great to meet like minded and lovely people who enjoy and share a passion.

Holly Fulton is a Scottish designer whom I admire immensely, you may have seen this post. When I discovered that she had collaborated with ASOS, I just had to have a taste. I ordered this dress on Saturday morning and it arrived on Tuesday morning, now that's service! I teamed it with my Mimco box and accessories from Sportsgirl and Diva. Twas a fun night, will bring you some of the catwalk later.

New Scottie Dog Dress from ASOS

It seems like an eternity since I bought something new, trying my best to save for NY (6 weeks to go, woo hoo). With the changing of the season, I opted for a small purchase, a wee Scottie Dog dress from ASOS for the bargain price of $32! It got me with the print, being Scottish I love anything Scot; I just had to move across the globe to become very patriotic. Perfect for Spring with tights and into Summer with milk bottle legs, ha. The belt, also a bargain from Sportsgirl, $10.

Have a great weekend folks!

love Sleekit x
