So I need some help! I’ve basically been in some stage of child bearing since 2009. Pregnant. Nursing. “Recovering”. Finally hit pre-pregnancy weight – Surprise! Pregnant again. Srsly, in the same month. Nursing. Losing. Again. Slowly.
But now, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My goal weight is just under 10 pounds away and I am still slowly but surely losing the weight. I haven’t plateaued yet (knock on wood).
So, I’ve been pinning for inspiration. (Or really to try to get the slightest clue of what's going on outside the Maternity/Nursing Bra section of the store.)
But as I look through my celebrity pins I think, “These clothes would not look interesting on me. I’d look boring/plain/generic in this. The only reason these girls look fab is because of their great bodies.” (Sorry I don’t know how to embed my board but here’s a link.)
Plus all of my “Style Stars” are so main stream. Not that their personal style is main stream but they are all household name kinda famous. I am looking for idk... A more niched kinda style maybe?
Please I need your help! Are you a mom that somehow managed to hang on to a sense of cool, a sense of style while raising small children? If so how’d ya do it? I’ve seriously read blogs that rec’d like Hane’s sweatshirts and sneakers for SAHM’s (Stay at Home Moms) of small kiddos. Not that there’s anything wrong with them but I don’t need a blog to tell me this is all the style a chic like me is supposed to have!
Anyone, "Not-Moms" I need your help too. Please tell me how to build a wardrobe from scratch. Who, or what, inspires your personal style? Do you feel like you have a clear sense of what your personal fashion style is? Can others see items and say things like, “That’s so you”?
Also, one last burning question. Skinny Jeans. Are they for the post-baby body? Are they just going to make my hips look huge now?
