Maternity OOTD - it's springtime!

                    

The weather has been glorious for the last week or so. It's brightened up and become much warmer so it seems like spring has finally arrived. When the sun comes out, I feel like putting on some brighter colours. Gone is the black and out comes the pink, coral pink in particular. I think coral pink is such a lovely colour for spring. It's bright but in a subtle way easier teamed with pastel colours such as this pale mint vest top. I think any pastel colours work well in the springtime.

I am wearing a coral pink maxi skirt from Delal Designs. It is a one size fits all jersey maxi skirt which is perfect for pregnancy as it grows with your growing bump. It's stretchy waistband makes it super comfy, I hardly wear anything else these days as I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy so comfort is key.

I am also wearing  a pale, long sleeved top from Oasis and a pale mint vest top from Primark.. The vest top was a complete bargain at only £2! I love the cream lace at the bottom of the vest top, it adds a touch of femininity and softness to the overall look. 

Finally, my hijab is the saame colour as both the skirt and the vest top so it really ties the whole look together. I love to wear patterened scarves but mainly wear them when I have plain, block coloured clothing. I do not normally wear a lattern with a pattern, it can get a bit too busy. This particualr scarf is from a website called Hijab Jewels, I believe. The scarf is what promted me to put this whole look together, especially the colour combinations. It's funny how a scarf can inspire an entire outfit! Who else has ever matched their outfit to the scarf instead of the other way round? 

Scarf: Hijab Jewels
Top: Oasis 
Vest top: Primark

         

Here is a closeup of the lovely lace trim on the vest top, I love the way the skirt can be seen through the lace.

  2. That looks sooo comfy. I really struggled to find attractive, comfy maternity wear - maternity jeans are horrible! I spent the last weeks looking really glam in a scruffy old pair of tracksuit bottoms and a tee shirt. Mind you, by then I was past caring!
