I cannot believe I’m actually typing these words… but this week marks the last week of the second trimester in my pregancy! It seems bananas that I’ve been pregant for 6 months and theres only around 3 months left until we meet our new little family member.
The fact that I’m currently in week 27 is definitely making everything seem more ‘real’. My ever growing belly is now a very obvious daily reminder of the realities of what’s to come and in terms of clothing and fashion I find myself gravitating to two opposite options…. stretchy and tight or flowy and loose.
Today’s feature dress is definitely in the latter group and a piece I know I’m going to be living in for the next few months, and later down the track. This gorgeous layered linen dress (with pockets) is by Montaigne and it’s just the right mix of comfort and style that I’m currently craving.
You may have heard me bang on about linen and how much I love it in the past, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, it really is such a great fibre. Firstly, It’s a natural fibre. It’s one of the most sustainable fibres to farm and process and also one of the easiest to break down once a garment is much loved and ready to retire. It’s also breathable, effortlessly stylish… and Montaigne do linen garments really well!
Since it’s still August, I’ve paired it with a trusty marino turtleneck, tights and boots today, but I cannot wait to wear it on its own with some sandals on a sunny spring day!
