While giving birth may have taken you to another level regarding what really matters, you still want to look gorgeous! Sadly, all the good things you were free to engage in while pregnant (remember the time spent eating chocolate cake in bed?) will have to go now. Let’s face it: most of your time will be eaten up by your sweet little muffin. Also, you are likely a few pounds heavier than ever, which is understandable. Taking the above into consideration, here are a few tips on how to shine as a new mom.
First things first, your new clothing habits must focus on comfort. It’s not time to obsessively follow the newest trends. Suppose you were to make a list of priorities; good quality of your apparel comes first, then the fitting (hello, new bra size), and only after what’s trendy. Compose a capsule wardrobe with the best-quality essentials to minimize the effort you put into looking fancy. Pick your basics and count on accessories to do the job.
Let’s repeat it — you do want to look good; you just don’t want to put as much effort into it as before. Underwear is essential. Invest in prime lingerie and control pants. Let professionals measure your bra size to make sure it fits. You want to feel comfortable because your well-being starts there, especially in this exceptional period of your life. What to wear? Good old jeans are an excellent choice postpartum, especially higher-waisted ones, designed to keep your silhouette slim. Remember that while your figure changes, it isn’t necessarily for the worse. You may feel less comfortable showing off your belly for a few months, but you want to display your new natural boobs on every occasion! Peplum is a popular choice for a postpartum period. Many mums wear it but find one with a more structured fit because this piece of clothing doesn’t come without fail.
Cute tiered dresses with puff sleeves may help you regain balance while not pressing yourself to lose these few extra pounds immediately. Pay attention to the fabric, choose the right color for your complexion, and ensure the dress’s shape fits you. Ruffles are risky, but at the same time, they are a statement of freedom and bliss that you want to underline in your style now more than ever. You don’t have to wear it on you; you can go for a ruffle-detailed handbag or sandal. After sleepless nights, go for sunglasses instead of makeup to overcome an imperfect look around the eyes.
