here i am finally getting over my self consciousness and sense of embarrassment at doing an outfit post {gasp!}. it's ok if you laugh, i can't hear you from here.
this comes with a huge disclaimer: i am in no way a fashionista, model, or even a particularly stylish person {all three most probably evident from the photo. i definitely need to work on better poses. and facial expressions.}. however, i do find outfit posts from other mum blogs interesting and i do like clothes. so i'm hoping you like this and any future posts i may do. or i hope you will tolerate it at least.
so the reason i am posting this outfit is that it contains many elements of my mum-friendly wardrobe:
// 1. layers. as some long lasting pregnancy after effect, i still find it hard to regulate my body temperature so layers are a must. plus, there's nothing like lugging a growing baby around to make you hot.
// 2. flat shoes {or boots}. my heel wearing days are a thing of the past and i applaud mums who manage it. right now heels only come out of hiding for very rare date nights with the hubby.
// 3. dress. i find dresses a really easy wardrobe option as it is only one thing to wash and iron {who am i kidding, i don't iron any more} and if they aren't too fitted they are way more comfortable than jeans, the waistbands of which dig into my not-yet-toned-tum
you will have to excuse the saggy-kneed tights. such sagginess seems inevitable when crawling around after a very mobile little person.
any other mum bloggers out there doing outfit posts? well, obviously there are and i know of some but if that's you, let me know!
Lovely outfit! Great dress and scarf. I think you're very brave to post this, I wouldn't dare on my blog...but then, you look ten times more stylish that I do! Becky x
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Becky! :) i had a blog for some time before this one and always wanted to do outfit posts as i enjoy other people's so much but never had the nerve. something about having a baby has made me let go of some of my inhibitions i think.
ReplyDeletei'm not sure that i am stylish - on most days i can be found around the home in jogging bottoms! x
Love your sweater. I think you look great, doesn't even show you had a baby :) I expect too look fit as a mom too lol :)
