I wanted to follow up my last post by sharing a handful of outfits I wore during weeks 17-20 of my pregnancy. My first trimester was marked by a constant feeling of being bloated. It wasn’t until these three weeks leading up to the mid-point that I noticed my body seriously starting to change. If you’re currently expecting and in the earlier stages of your pregnancy, hopefully this might give you some ideas. My main aim with these outfits was to reflect my personal style, while adapting it to accommodate my growing bump. Week 17 wearing Sezane t-shirt, Grlfrnd Denim…
Up until the 20 week mark when I *finally* shared the news that Luke and I were expecting a baby in summer 2020, the one question I got from a lot of my girlfriends was; ‘Where’s your bump?!’. Safe to say, I got particularly good at concealing any hint of a baby bump, and I thought I’d share some of the styling tricks that I found useful during those early weeks. Wearing Joseph sweater (affordable option here), Realisation Par leopard skirt (affordable dupe here), By Far mules (affordable here), Phillip Lim mini pashli bag, Mejuri earrings & bracelet, Linjer ring…

There’s been some obvious, and some not-so-obvious changes to my skincare routine over the last few months. Since finding out I was pregnant, the first thing I did was give my beauty cabinet a serious once over to check for any ingredients that might be harmful during pregnancy or breast feeding. Let’s just say, that declutter included a handful of my favourite beauty essentials. For the most part, I haven’t found the transition to a pregnancy-safe beauty routine too challenging. I’ve had to say goodbye to my retinol and salicylic acid-based products; the latter of which was always a game…
I’m a little over the 22 week mark now, and it’s safe to say that a fair chunk of my wardrobe no longer fits me… As we head into the final couple months of the year, I’m really trying to make good on my “fewer, better” style goal. Essentially, where I need to buy anything new for the pregnancy, I want it to be something that continues to add value even after baby arrives next year. For anyone also on their pregnancy journey (or just starting out), I thought I’d share how I’ve decided to approach my maternity wardrobe. Dresses…
