...wardrobe wednesday...

my baby!!!

...can't really play the game properly this week as haven't really gotten dressed... but last night we had to try out made in NZ wrap hand-me-down from my beautiful sister...really needed get dinner going and missy was not happy to be put down...luckily she LOVED the wrap... and yes look at her - not even a week old and holding her head up, being nosy and learning to cook sausages and mash...

...for other styley mummas, try here (where it started?), here, here or here...

...wardrobe wednesday...

Singlet - bub2be (Kmart for breastfeeding)

Wrap/tie Cardy - present from friend

Dress - me from Spotlight pre-shirred fabric

Shoes - Kmart $5 ballet flats

Belly - 41 weeks...

...this is what I wore to see the midwives and obstetrician this morning.... got sent home to get my bags...and we're being induced at 1pm...bye, bye belly...

...wardrobe wednesday - something I made...

Top - Garage again

(belly at 40 weeks - i.e. due date TODAY!)

Skirt - Me

Shoes - crocs

Jewels - upcycled by me...

...struggled a bit since most stuff I've made either doesn't fit me or you've seen in the last few weeks...
so you got a skirt that is now 3 yrs old... fabric brought in Samoa...pattern inspired by my cousin's skirt from Aotea Square markets (blue fabric is actually just a square)... was given the black pearls as a 5 strand for a grad present - 2 strands fell off immediately so I created the bracelet and earrings from those...

...really hoped to be wearing my baby made (partly) by me... no go yet... hopefully next Wednesday I'll be wearing her...

...wardrobe wednesday - floral...

Fake flowers - hibiscus and hair clip I made from lei 

Sunnies - Von Zipper (wonder how long they'll last after bub arrives)

JK maternity tops

Adidas shorts

Gola shoes - hand-me-downs from my sister (Aunty Shoes/ Sus :P) - SO struggling with doing laces!

 ...ok so the challenge this week was something floral... and I know I don't have to post what I wear on Wednesday, but since my due date is a Wednesday (next week!) I have been posting belly and clothes from Wednesdays as a countdown too... but....today was the boy's school's Walk-tober celebration... so I made the effort for school pick - up... (drop off is invaribly in PJs so SO not walking like that)... enjoyed walking in the sunshine and felt good for making the effort.... although took longer than used to...had sore back after....and didn't induce labour for a 20/10/2010 baby like my brother and sister wanted...lol... so this is what I wore walking....took Claire's suggestion and wore flowers in my hair (token effort)... and took my new sling bag which has trees and flowers on it....

.... and this is what I'm wearing now.... obviously floral... but not really in the true spirit of Wardrobe Wednesday... but I just finished it last night and wanted to post it anyway... the 7 year old says I look like I'm from China!!..... he took the photos again....artificial light this evening is not very flattering... but at least I don't look as grumpy as last week....

...for other Wardrobers try here (where it started?), here, here or here... better make more effort for next Wednesday since theme was my suggestion.... wonder if I'll be wearing my baby by then!?!

...wardrobe wednesday...

...horrid, horrid facial expression sorry...

Black singlet from Garage (Warehouse 'brand')

Multicolour knit skirt/ dress made by me this week

White shoes from Kmart (only just squeezing my fat feet into)

can't remember what bling I had on sorry...

... oh and the bump at 38 weeks...

...well if you want more fashionable/ happier inspiration for your wardrobe - try here.... kudos to the boy for photography again... maybe I was grumping at him not to chop my head off...sorry kid...

...wardrobe wednesday...

Dress - last year's b'day gift from my mum - knit wear-7-ways dress

Wrap cardi - merino from factory store in Melbourne somewhere

Brooch - this year's b'day gift from my mum - leather from ?Spain??

Shoes - don't fit the swollen feet my daughter gave me for my birthday... think I wore jandals for the school pick up run...

Bag - last year's b'day gift from my crafty Aunty Glen



...ok... so I'm a day late... but did I mention I'm 37 weeks pregnant... yesterday didn't really happen til nearly midnight... this was from my birthday day Monday... not enjoying pants/ waistbands at the moment and the weather (at least in the morning was decidedly spring-ish).... Wardrobe Wednesday has been very inspiring for me in the last few weeks, although the no black, no denim challenge for my first foray was pretty hard for me... and obviously my wardrobe is limited at the moment by the lovely bump!
...oh and kudos to the 7 year old for his photography skills - "I didn't chop your head off this one, Mumma"...
