Before I was pregnant I was a size 6 top, 8-10 bottom and wore smart, classic pieces which accentuated my waist. I’m now five months postpartum and every morning I struggle to put together practical outfits that make me feel good. I’ve ordered so many clothes online but kept hardly anything, and I’ve now come to the conclusion that I’ve got no idea what I’m doing- I don’t know how to dress my new body shape and I’m spending a lot more time on the floor than I was before!
I desperately need to sort out a capsule wardrobe, preferably without spending a ridiculous amount of money as I don’t know whether I’ll stay this size/shape long term, as well as a holiday wardrobe for our first family holiday next month. Where do I begin? What clothes/styles are flattering on postpartum bodies? Where should I shop for my new wardrobe?
I’m 5ft4, currently a size 8 top and 12-14 bottom. I’ve still got my ‘mum tum’ and my thighs and hips are more shapely than they were before. I’m not breastfeeding so that doesn’t need to be taken into consideration.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you! X
