There is something that they don't really tell you once you have a baby:
You lose all sense of style and end up wearing whatever is most comfy.
You see the reason I make this statement is that I had this firm belief that once I had my baby, I would go back to my signature style and rock it out with a cute little baby in tow....this was not very well thought through. I am one month into motherhood and for the first three weeks I basically sat around the house in harem pants with a singlet or my pyjamas. Attractive..I know! I am now venturing out into the big wide world after becoming more aware of my son's routine and I find that the clothes that I once wore aren't very breast-feeding friendly. I am trying to re-invent my style so that I can still look and feel confident but it's hard when there is very little items that work for me at the moment. I am currently living in jumpsuits that have adjustable straps or maxi dresses.
Now, before I go and write off everything in my wardrobe that doesn't have adjustable straps, I find that I just have to look at my clothes in a different way. Tunics and dresses that previously I would jump right into have to be paired with a singlet that can cover or hide discreet little moments for feeding.
It was with great excitement that at 2am the other night that I came across a post 'like' on one of my friends FB pages, an awesome page called 'Urban Mumma'. Intrigued, I found myself heading to their page and saw that they did nursing clothes that were not only affordable but fashionable as well!
These dresses are only $59, which I think is a very reasonable price. When I head out, I want to feel confident and comfortable and not at all like a 'milk machine'. I have ordered one (the pink & purple) and it is yet to turn up, but I will give it a good, honest review when it does!
I guess my other fear is that I don't want to become one of those mums that gets around in t-shirts and plain pants for the next few years! I refuse to end up like that! I really want to continue loving my wardrobe and I hope I do.
If you are a Mumma:
1. What did you wear post baby and when did you get your 'groove' back?
2. What did it take to get your groove back?
As always, thanks for reading!
