I’m slowly coming to grips with the fact that some of my pre-baby clothes are just not going to fit the way they used to. My weight has shifted to different parts of my body making the fit of my clothes a little different than what I am used to. Jeans that used to slide on with ease now require a little…patience. For the most part when I’m around the house I like to wear leggings and a T-shirt. While I am very comfortable in what now seems to be my mommy uniform now a days, I still like to dress up when I go out so that I can feel more like myself.
I don’t really want my sense of style to change now that I’m a mom. I think l there is a huge misconception that one has to dress and/or look a certain way once they become a mother. For some people once Motherhood hits they feel that they have to dress the part. The part of mom normally includes a big tee shirt, ill fitted jeans, and outdated sneakers. Now don’t get me wrong, some days I completely understand how challenging it can be to get mom and baby out the door. Most days I am lucky to make it out in one piece. I still however try to take time to put together nice outfits for me to wear because at the end of the day who says that moms can’t be stylish?
My husband recently took me out to a comedy show and I wanted to put together a look in which I would feel comfortable and confidant. After trying on several outfits that were not to my liking I started to get a little down about my size. I quickly snapped out of that rut as I reminded myself that I literally just had a little human being 14 weeks ago. It’s really easy to be hard on yourself after having a baby but what I am learning is that you have to give yourself grace. Remember that it took you 9 months to grow this beautiful baby, and so you may not just bounce right back to that pre-baby body immediately and that’s okay. Once I got over my feelings I really started to think about my current shape and what I feel I look good in. I went through every inch of my closet and finally found an outfit for our night out on the town which was both stylish and comfortable, I’d say that’s a win-win.
Embrace your curves. Your weight shifted to the right areas! You look great!!😘😘❤️❤️
Thanks Ma!!!! XOXO
I am totally suffering from PostPartum Body real bad. It’s funny when I had my son fours years ago it was easy and simple for me to fit back in my clothes and now just having my daughter it’s really difficult to fit anything. I just find myself rocking my scrubs pants and T-shirts. I love the blog
Hey there’s nothing wrong with comfort dressing and there is nothing more comfortable than scrubs!!! Lol thanks for taking out the time to read the blog 🙂
I feel you momma! We might gained weight but it’s totally worth it for our bubbas! One day, we can have our pre pregnancy weight again! Let’s not hurry, instead focus on our bubbas! We got this. Confidence and self love is everything! ❤
Agreed! Every single pound is worth it 🙂 thanks for reading my post.
I know how stressfull it is finally getting out of the house and having to dress your postpartum body. My body has gone through so many changes it’s crazy what our bodies can do and the way i dress. Great post you caught this mama!!
Thanks! Our bodies are so amazing and I try to remind myself of that all the time.
It takes a while! And things may be forever changed, but you’ll just figure out what works best on your new bod. That bod that made a beautiful little baby. You look smokin to me!
Thanks so much Megan! It’s definitely an adjustment but I am just trying to embrace it. Plus it gives me a reason to shop hehe
Same! Life postpartum is definitely different, especially with all the extra lumps and bumps. I’m slowly coming out of my postpartum body unacceptance.
It’s a hard shell to crawl out of but I am right there with you! We have to work the body that we have until we get the body that we want.
It is quite the adjustment, isn’t it? LOL. But I think you look absolutely gorgeous!!! <3
It really is!!! Thank you so much hun 🙂
First, you look absolutely stunning. Second, completely agree that keeping your style baby is so important! You are still you even with the added title of Momma. Great encouraging post to other Mommas that just because our bodies change our style doesn’t have to 🙂
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate the kind words XOXO
