What do I wear as a SAHM?

[madmomma]

I'm apple-shaped and size 14. Can't get on with jeans cos of flab pillow.
What do stylish women wear to look after toddlers + babies?

How about chinos and ballet flats?

Ooh chinos, what a nice idea. I haven't ever had a pair but I like that preppy look. Gap the best place for them, do you reckon?

sackcloth and ashes

are chinos always ankle length?

Chinos come in all lengths - they look good rolled up a bit. Uniqlo do great chinos, you need to try a few pairs in Gap as they do different fits. I've heard good things about Next's chinos this season. H&M very good too imo.

I am a SAHM and jeans are a staple. It's about trying lots and lots and finding the right pair I think.

thanks monkeysmama yeah I so wish I could find comfy jeans. My belly is so baggy after dc3 that I just look muffin-top-tastic in them. I've just started a sensible diet though, so hopefully jeans will be do-able in the near future. I'm all over the chinos. Will start with Gap

I like dresses -- only one item to put on

leggings and a long top/ tunic?

I second the dresses , especially if ur an apple , I know not everyones a fan but leggings and tea dresses are brill fr hiding my tum , can be worn with boots in winter ballet flats in the summer.I find this combination is really comfy for crawling round on the floor with my toddler!:)hth x

Summer dresses are good.

Whatever you like!!

I like the chino's in River Island at the moment. And sun dresses with sandals.

Yes I do love dresses
somehow they feel like hard work though, or that I'm going to show my arse when I bend over.
tunics might be a good idea
thanks for the input ladies
