Maternity black skinny jeans - nearly 7 months and a deco necklace

top: shop in Elwood

jeans: ASOS Maternity

necklace: Gift from my beloved

Python ankle boots: Op Shop

ring: Diva

box bag: Mimco

shades: Vision Direct

I'm just a few days shy of hitting the 7 month mark in my pregnancy, on route to the business end, eek! Starting to feel very big and everyday stuff is becoming just that wee bit harder. Come 7.30 I'm no use to anybody and the couch is my friend. 

My wardrobe is limited and I'm slowly getting bored of wearing the same outfits day in day out, time for a new addition...

Bought these black skinny jeans on sale from ASOS Maternity, where else? The belly band is much bigger than my last pair so no need for the constant pull up, bonus! Black skinny jeans will go with pretty much anything, it's time for me to get creative, I feel inspired again, phew.

My beloved bought me this gorgeous necklace which I have been meaning to post on for a while, it's such a great statement piece and works well with the black silhouette.

shoes: Op shop

My shoe collection is vast, however, you would be surprised how many I pick up from Op shops. Last week, I spied these beige leather shoes from Topshop in my local op shop for $8. Sure, my midwife would be telling me to buy a nice pair of flats but these are very sturdy and comfortable and give me just a wee bit of height. Practically brand new with the stickers still on the sole, what a bargain!

I'm a huge fan of tights and so far have managed to get away without buying maternity which normally come in black and more black, yawn. I'm finding the Sportsgirl range reach over my bump without the need to pull up and they come in fabulous colours. These khaki coloured tights make my new op shop shoes pop.

Have a great weekend, till next week.

brooch: Gift from my dear friends Jussy and Kymmmy

shoes: Nine West

You may remember the fabulous cape I purchased from Lady Petrova? Well, here's how I've styled it for a more casual look, I mean it's not just gonna sit in my closet waiting for a night out! Now 5 months pregnant, my wardrobe is shrinking but I will be wearing this beauty until I pop and beyond.

Black, red and trusty wardrobe friends

 dress: ASOS Maternity

boots: Zomp

sunglasses: Vision Direct

bangle: Diva

pom pom: Little Salon

There are some trusty combo's that work every time, in this case black and red. I don't wear a lot of black but when I do I like to pop a bright colour against it. The dress, I purchased from ASOS Maternity is becoming a trusty friend, cosy, practical and stylish. 

My bump is growing, I'm almost passed the "Is she pregnant or just been eating too many pies?" The latter may be true, have the appetite of a Rhino but it's nice when people start to notice that you are indeed growing a baby. 

My other trusty friend is the sunglasses that Vision Direct sent me for Mother's Day, they are becoming my perfect companion, yeah to trusty wardrobe friends, do you have one? Do tell....

You will rarely find me in a pair of jeans, simple reason, much prefer the comfort of skirts and dresses and jeans give me bumps that I would rather not entertain. However, I thought I'd give maternity jeans a try; elasticated waist for comfort and room to accomodate my growing belly. These Khaki jeans were on sale from ASOS Maternity as you will see from my previous post. They are very comfortable to wear but my only gripe would be the need to yank them up every now and then (another reason I don't wear jeans), the belly band could be higher. Saying that, since wearing these jeans many folks have commented how slim they make me look, er that's kinda nice so I can live with the odd yank every now and then.

My ASOS maternity goodies arrived

 

There is nothing more delightful than I parcel arriving in the post, especially if it contains goodness for your closet! As you will see from my previous post, I bought this top and dress online from the ASOS Maternity store. As my bump starts to grow (I'm now 4 months into my pregnancy), thought I'd treat myself to a couple of garments that will see me through the pregnancy and beyond.

Love the spotty top, it will go with so many outfits and the knit dress is super warm and cosy, love the big white anchor detail.

I have no idea where my tripod is, hence the camera shots but to be honest, it's so much fun dressing up in my closet!

First additions to my maternity wardrobe

 Love the boldness of this knit dress $60.59

spots and colour, a winning combination $28.70

When I was pregnant with my first child nearly five years ago, I struggled to find any maternity wear that was 1. affordable and 2. not boring. Since then, the market has improved and now I can indulge without breaking the bank. My first port of call was ASOS, they have a fabulous selection of dresses, tops and even underwear. This is what I bought, can't wait till they arrive!

Have a great weekend x
