On the weekend I went away to Ballina with the family. Despite the warm weather, I found the water to be a bit too cool for my liking. Anyway someone had to hold Phoebe while my other two daughters played in the water.
Phoebe and I at the pool. Not much swimming happened but we had a lot of cuddles.
Sometimes I’m never sure whether I want to go for a swim or not, but I have learned to always put my swimmers on just in case. I usually wear a casual dress to cover up, but this time I wore my embellished kaftan. I wore this kaftan during my pregnancies with Magdalene and Phoebe. It was a bargain $29.95 from Tree of Life and I was drawn to it because of the bright colours and jewel embellishment at the opening of the bust.
The Embellished Kaftan is becoming more of a staple outfit as opposed to a beach cover up thanks to designers like Camilla. But I still don’t mind wearing a bit of bling to the pool or the beach. I love that I can wear this kaftan at home over a black maternity singlet and skinny jeans and be able to breastfeed in it. I’m all for versatile pieces that can be worn on a number of occasions.
I tried to put a collage together of some embellished kaftans but there were limited sizes in the ones I found or none in stock. It’s definitely a popular style to try this season. Places to look at for embellished kaftans include Blue Bungalow, Treasure Emporium, Tree of Life, and Boho Australia.
Do you wear beaded or embellished kaftans to the beach or by the pool? Where have you purchased yours?
