Capsule breastfeeding wardrobe?

Any ideas?

I gave birth 5 weeks ago and my maternity clothes are now too big but I still have 2.5 stone to lose before my normal clothes fit. I have a few things - jeans etc in storage from last time I was at this point but my first was a summer baby so most things are going to be unsuitable. I'm not very good at losing weight quickly so I need a wardrobe that is going to last me about 6 months.

I'm normally a size 10 but probably about a 14 at the moment. I'm 5'5''.

TIA

ime it is easier (and less stressful) if you don;t keep thinking to yourself " I am normally a 10" because tbh - you may never get back to that size( sad as it sounds!) - or it may take longer than you'd hope and this could just make you unhappy. The best thing to do is embrace the size you are now. get a few pieces that are comfortable for you NOW. I found leggings vests and long cardis were what worked for me - but it's not for everyone!

That is a good point posey - my body shape changed considerably after my first even though I did get back to the same weight so I had to rethink my wardrobe anyway. I don't want to spend a fortune on new clothes but I need to get some things that look good now so that I can start to feel a bit better about myself.
