DS2 born early December and i am a size 12 as opposed to 10 pre baby. I have no idea what to wear as everthing i try on looks pants as i still ave a bit of a pot belly! I m living with a very limitied wardrobe and don't want to splash out as my healthy eating plan has now kicked in and hopefully the pounds will start to slip away.

any goos tips for guaranteed style/chicness??

thanks

I fear that if you were previously a stranger to size 12's, you were previously a bit chicer than me!

(but hoping to get some tips too!)

I've just had ds and am losing weight quite quickly but still not quite the same size. I've b ought a few pairs of jeans in the bigger size (for me a 14 rather than a 12) from Ebay ad have been wearing them with fairly loose tops (easy for bf too) but with a nice neckline or bright colour so it feels a bit more glam. Doesn't really do much but makes me feel better! My size 14s are now slightly too big so am hoping I can get back into my old clothes fairly soon .
FWIW, after I had dd I got back to pre-preg weight and size quickly but was left with a slight 'overhang' (even worse this time with cs!)so ime you don't always return to your previous figure even if you lose the weight.

And wear lovely boots/shoes and jewellery (says she who is in jeans, stripy hoody and trainers- very glam! I did have to be out the house by 8am with a 4yo, 5 week old and dithering husband though!)

Yes i know what you mean about the overhang and have vowed to start doing some situps everyday.

I put on more weight with DS2 but i am trying to loose it sensibly as i am bf'ing.

i have some really lovely necklaces so will try and wear them more often to feel abit more glam .
