pss: i was thinking about the dark blue cuffed capris.

Cyan, you are a sweet sister for thinking of your sister's needs and treating her. As a former SAHM with little boys, I thnk you have made great choices. The NYDJ capri will be comfortable and practical as will the knit top, although it will need a cami.
As comfortable as MeToo shoes are for walking, I'd suggest an athletic ballet shoe. In her situation she will actually need to be able to run in her shoes. Something like Clarks Privos or any athletic Mary jane would serve her well on a daily basis. As for color, you might pick a color close to her hair color. On the Endless site there are some that are black, brown, grey, beige as well as colors. I can't seem to get a link to work, but I clicked on "athletic" and then on "walking". Scroll through and click on a flat. At the bottom will be many more that were viewed by others viewing the shoe you clicked on. Although you can't see all the colors avalable, you can see the price. Good luck!

thank you so much joy! i'll check out your shoe suggestions...

congrats on 'making it' with little boys too ;-)

I'd give the top a miss it says dry clean only on the information- not good with kids x

good one, loulou! phew...

Cyan glad i could help. I work with kids and i've had to turn away from sooooo many gorgeous clothes because they're dry clean only, it's the 1st thing i look for now before even trying on!

Hmm, I second Joy's suggestion on Privos and Clarks. If she treated the silver flats as "special", chances are that Me Toos will have a similar fate. Privos are definitely playground-worthy.
I like the top - perhaps you can find something similar that is machine washable? Denim clams is probably the most used summer item for a MOTG, at least for me.
Would she like a cross-body bag? Or maybe a jersey dress/tunic?

what do you think of these privos? maybe a metallic or hair color match would be the most versatile?

1) pewter--though i love the red ones ;-)

2) another pewter

3) brown (my sister has brown/chestnut hair color)

I like the capris a lot. My kids are a couple of years older than your sisters, but even with the passage of extra time, I'm still a bit skittish about wearing anything that reminds me of maternity wear. I'm not sure if that's something your sister would be concerned about at all :)

The Privos look nice too. I'd pick the color that would coordinate with what she's already got in her closet..

marianne, she has a cross-body bag already, and doesn't really wear tunic/dresses. thanks for the shoe tips!

astanton, i think she has some non-maternity clothe by now ;-) she tends to wear cool colors, some on the brighter side than others. that's why maybe a pewter cover her bases more than brown...but i don't know, lol.

will capri cuffs (like in the dark denim capris), visually shorten her legs? the black looks more streamlined, but the denim looks a little spunky and casual, fitting with her overall style.

cyan--I just meant that top you linked to above kind of reminded me of a maternity top--a very pretty one--but still, anything that's snug around the breasts and looser underneath tends to give me that impression. Admittedly, I'm more sensitive about that than some others. I remember a time when my co-workers asked if I was pregnant again, since I was wearing a similar top, lol :)

Pregnant women are beautiful, but when a woman's back to her non-pregnant shape, she might like to show that off :)

One thing I've enjoyed as a mom is makeup that's quick and easy to apply, such as eye shadow that you can apply with a finger. Philosophy has a really nice line of shadows like this.

Best of luck!

Sorry, I just saw you mentioned about the dresses. I really like the first privos, either in pewter or red.

To see the top in action IRL, here are a few pictures of this top on some of us:
shiny, Asha, Vani

Ahh, it's much more fitted than I realized. Very pretty top. Thanks for the photos!
