I walked into my walk-in-wardrobe after 40 weeks and felt the dust that had gathered beneath my feet. I'm sure if I looked hard enough, mysterious and exotic findings would have been made. Post-pregnancy, I walked in with a spring to my step. It felt so good to be reunited with all my clothes again.
Reality check- not ALL- it will take some time to fit back into everything...
I spent the first few weeks post-partum wearing my SRC Recovery Shorts and gym gear (in and out of the house) and, after four weeks, decided it was time to bust back into some clothes from before the bump.
It felt like reuniting with an old friend.
JUNE- THE WEEKEND EDIT
 |
| Outfit Edit: Blazer from Zimmermann and Drop Pants from Cameo the Label |
You can never go wrong with a blazer. In any colour. Be it white, black, pink...It just has to fit well.
I purchased these drop pants mid-way through my pregnancy and loved how comfortable they were. Unfortunately, I only wore them once. Here, at three weeks post-partum & a leftover bump it just made sense to get some wear out of them before they literally dropped.

| Boots from Zoe Wittner |
Living in flats for almost 40 weeks drove me crazy.
My colleagues at work knew I was pregnant almost straight away when I rocked up to work wearing flats. There was no need for an announcement. My foot-wear was enough.
I almost danced my way back into these boots.
I felt on top of the world.

| Outfit Edit: Top by Cameo the Label, Skirt by Socialite & Boots by Zoe Wittner. |
Mid-week dinner with the girls in winter and what do I decide to wear? A mini skirt, of course.
If you're going to bare your legs the general rule is to be a tad bit more modest at the top. This top is sheer so I might be breaking my own rule.
This feature wall is interesting. It reminds me of something.
I think breast feeding is driving me crazy.
Gatsby themed hens party called for some sparkly gold action.
And a selfie.

Gold. Sequins. Red lips. High heels.
It's Saturday night and I'm ready to party.
Actually, who am I kidding?
I'm a new mummy to a baby boy (exactly one month as of 14.06.14 and when this photo was taken) and, like Cinderella, the party ends at 12am. There was no prince, no shiny shoe or magical carriage. Just a new mama who was still a tad bit awkward in high heels trying to sparkle and have some fun...
Underneath it all, I had the B (his name is Bradley) on my mind. I couldn't stop looking at my phone and my heart did a few cart wheels when my mother in law called.
Just to tell me he was fine, feeding well and not missing me.
I said I would be home at 12 am.
I got home at 11.15pm.
It's Sunday morning and I need a coffee. In fact, as a new mama, I need a coffee every day, all day. Unfortunately, I have recently discovered that my coffee parties don't go down so well with my son. After he breast feeds, instead of sleeping, the B wants to party with hubby and I.
So I have decided to tone down my caffeine intake to once a week. This one, unfortunately, was wasted on mediocre and watered-down coffee at Excelsior Jones in Ashfield.
Not happy.

| Outfit Edit: Knit from Lolitta, pants from Cameo the Label & Boots from Zoe Wittner |
My outfit, on the other hand, made me very happy.
It was terribly cold today in Sydney(18 degrees, slightly wet and very grey) and wearing this knit felt like walking around in an oven.
