well i'm 34 weeks pregnant and every time i look at people wearing gorgeous clothes it makes me want to cry! (envy and hormones running riot = not good). Also i've lost a lot of confidence in myself, the whole 'i'll never wear those lovely coloured skinnies i've been dreaming of!' is in full swing. i'll have two girls under 18months old so will be very pressed for time and energy to get ready and look half decent, so any suggestions on some quick outfits i can just throw together without looking like a scummy mummy instead of a yummy one?! xx

I bought a lot from Isabelle Oliver towards the end of my pregnancy for the 4th trimester as they call it, when you need to BF and feel a bit like a sponge pudding (or was that just me) and want elsticated waistbands but still need to look presentable.
Thick jersey wrap dresses work well, with a pair of leggings underneath when it's cold and a vest top to stop you exposing yourself when you BF

I had 2 under 18mo too, and yeah, initially there is v little time for yourself!

At first I rotated a couple of pairs of skinnies, and a few bf tops from Isabella Oliver. Within about 4 weeks I was back in my normal jeans so the interim skinnies went to eBay!

Still bf now and not exactly time rich, so I generally wear a 'uniform' of skinnies (have lots of colours, trust me you will wear them), a vest top (essential for preserving my modesty when bf) and a jumper or loose top. Usually ankle boots or Superga trainers on my feet. A big scarf and a blazer over the top are a great way of looking more 'together'.
