Dressing after Baby- Postpartum Style
Now looking back I feel I look like such a baby here! I am pregnant with my second daughter in this photo! This was me at 40 weeks waiting for Sutton! I have been asked about postpartum style a few times it just felt right to make a blog post on it! Now when I was postpartum I went comfy all the way! When I would go out flowy tops and high -waisted shorts, jeans anything that went above the tummy and especially the tummy control leggings were my best friend! Thank goodness that is in style right now! When dressing after baby it helps to not just pack up all your maternity clothes. I wore my maternity jeans for some time after baby. Don’t ever think you shouldn’t be wearing maternity clothes after baby. Our bodies create life for 9+ months it is going to take some time to go back to pre-pregnancy girls! Give yourself grace, time and allow your body to be comfortable!
Long tunic tops like this plaid one was one of my favorites! It paired great with high- waisted leggings oh and buttoned down (easy for nursing)
Flowy baby doll dresses were life changing! One and done sort of way! I paired with booties as we transitioned into fall!
High- waisted skirt with a loose knit sweater! Perfect for fall and was comfy enough to mom in and look adorable! I love to front tuck! Flowy is always a good idea because when we are with our babies we definitely don’t want to feel squeezed into our clothes. My advice and hope all you mamas take it is…Let your self breathe in all facets of your life. Let’s just start with the clothing LOL! I highly recommend fun baby doll tops, and dresses if your are going out! My favorite thing to do is find dresses I love and pair them with high -waisted jeans or even maternity jeans and do a side tuck or knot the dress to make it look like just a top! You get that extra flow in the mid section too!
This top flares out at mid section and paired with some high -waisted leggings was just what I needed to feel cute, stylish, and comfy! I have talked about my holy grail spanx leggings because they have been a life saver after babies! I I have the faux leather ones but there are many options. These leggings are considered a splurge but I love how they suck everything in and makes your feel toned especially after baby! As we approach the fall season too the faux leather option look so good with tunics, sweaters, cardigans and booties! These leggings are the seamless leggings and come in multiple prints. Being a splurge item I recommend getting black as your first pair because you can wear them with anything (very versatile and bang for your buck) I wear a size medium in the spanx leggings and they still suck me in and I love they don’t show panty lines! TOOO GOOOD!
I added these super yummy corduroy flares (non maternity) I am wearing them but your can size up for a more comfy fit if need to! These are perfect for fall because with a roomy sweater or cardigan for fall you will be stylish and oh so comfy! The flares are not super dramatic and it is a high waist and elastic … hallelujah LOL
Stay blessed,
