Kiwigal, thanks, sounds like your capsule worked brilliantly. Two dresses, two pairs of pants, a skirt, 4 shirts, and a pair of shorts, works as a good starting template. I have dresses covered. My tops are from 7 years ago and I've discovered holes and breaking elastic. Normal tops work for now, but this is my fourth, so I think I'll need maternity soon. I have 2 pairs of pants. They are bootcut, too short, and too baggy, and scratchy fabric. I'm trying out pants from Old Navy to replace them; coming in the mail in a few days.I wear ankle pants most days because I have 3 active boys already, so wearing dresses at home gets in my way. It'll definitely be easier to get dressed when the pants are sorted.
Thank you, Deb!
Ledonna, you are looking so great! Btw, I wait several months...really a year would be better! before trying on pre pregnancy favorites after the baby comes. Yet keep them, you never know, you might be able to wear them again eventually! As for my style; I've not done a good job nailing it down, but I'm more interested in romantic and boho style stuff lately, I think.
Thank you Bijou. The jacket and poncho sound like a great way to keep things interesting. I have a Zara jacket I should wear more. Otherwise, I have an aubergine wool coat I wear all the time. All time favorite. I was thinking of finding a denim jacket to wear over my dresses to switch it from wearing cardigans.
Thank you Penny. I hadn't heard of Seraphine, but love Kate Middleton's style. Thanks for that idea. Congratulations on your baby. I love three month olds. Starting to smile and coo and roll over, it's great!
Thanks, Kkards
Thanks, Smittie, solid advice!
