The top is really good and I think you will be thankful for the jeans.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-903072 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:02:50 +0000 Thistle 903072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great choices!&nbsp; You will get&nbsp; ton of wear out of the jeans, even as a transitional peice. Wear the heck out of them. They look great, fit well, and are comfy. Perfect transitional choice.<br /><br />I thinkt he top will work well, too, but I am not sure about Target quality and how it will hold up. But, for $10, you wear it a couple of times, and your CPW is reasonable. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-903063 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 17:55:45 +0000 Kim 903063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love them both and you are the epitome of what Angie says about "dressing for the body you <i>have</i>" (at the moment). Good choices!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-903029 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 17:20:06 +0000 Isis 903029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great pieces!&nbsp; Keep!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902991 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:52:02 +0000 Sara L. 902991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think these are both great transitional pieces that you will get a lot of use out of.&nbsp; I did the same thing after my pregnancies - bought a few cheaper items that fit the body I had instead of trying to squeeze into old items too soon.&nbsp; A few key pieces, like a great pair of jeans, were all that were necessary to make me feel better and give me some outfit options. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902806 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:21:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 902806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are both great pieces for you Natalie - the fit of both are fabulous on you and will be really versatile. I think having a few transitional pieces is a great idea - you look fantastic BTW! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902790 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:07:54 +0000 Suz 902790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Smart shopping, Natalie. I would hang onto both items. The top will be useful to you and the jeans look really good.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902781 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:01:04 +0000 Sarah A 902781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love both items. Dress you the body you have right now as Angie says. these items are relatively inexpensive but will be really helpful for feel great each day as you get back to your usual shape. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902761 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:42:42 +0000 Parsley 902761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thumbs up on both items. A pair of jeans that are comfortable right now are a must have, IMO, and those look great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902750 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:27:38 +0000 Janet 902750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they look good -- I like the blouse, and I think it's smart to get a pair of jeans you can wear comfortably now.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902747 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:25:16 +0000 Kristin L 902747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they both work great! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902704 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:18:24 +0000 Jaime 902704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The jeans are a smart buy. Why make yourself miserable squeezing into your old jeans too soon? I have a feeling you will shrink out of the blouse before long, but for $10 it is good to have something that fits right right now. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902702 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:12:57 +0000 Anonymous 902702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think both pieces are good and will see you through the transition! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902657 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 07:32:54 +0000 CocoLion 902657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great jeans, in fact I have been looking for a pair with that kind of fading for a while now, to no avail. &nbsp;The blouse is cute too and the fit looks right. &nbsp;I think you're smart to enjoy some transitional clothes for now, as well as to shop at places like Marshall's where it's not such an investment. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902655 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 07:12:46 +0000 goldenpig 902655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Scarlet, and thanks for nudging me to get a transition pair of jeans. I agree it will be so much more comfy! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902653 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 06:58:41 +0000 Scarlet 902653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those both look like great finds. Especially the jeans look awesome on you, and I imagine the black top will be fun and&nbsp;easy to make outfits with. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-clothes-prabal-gurung-black-shirt-and-j-brand-jeans#post-902646 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 05:58:30 +0000 goldenpig 902646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ While out doing some errands (buying supplies for DS's birthday party) I came across a couple of items for my transitional postpartum wardrobe--what do you think of them?<br />1-3. Prabal Gurung for Target <a href="http://www.target.com/p/prabal-gurung-for-target-lace-front-blouse-black/-/A-14318586#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink" rel="nofollow">black lace blouse</a>. This was on clearance for $10. It has black lace on the top third, front and back and a faux leather collar. I was debating between size S and M but this M felt more comfortable--the S was slightly tight across the bust and wrist areas. I'm looking for a solid color boxy blouse--I have a nicer black Anne Fontaine shirt, but it's too form fitting right now and shows all my lumpy bumps around the waist.<br /><br />1-7. It's been a month now and I've lost a fair amount of weight but I still can't fit into most of my old size 28 jeans yet (I can fit into some of my bigger/stretchier jeans if I squeeze in). But my maternity jeans and sized up Kut boyfriend jeans won't stay up and are driving me crazy, so I need a transitional pair of jeans. I found this pair at Marshall's--J Brand Sasha skinny jeans for $59 (normally $120), so about the same as a pair of Gap jeans. They were size 30 and these seemed to fit the best of the jeans I tried on there (no 29s and 28 was too small). These have a higher rise which is nice, because I'm sick of plumber's crack from my boyfriend jeans. And they seemed less stretchy than the other J brand pair I tried on, which seemed like they would bag out and also were a tad short at the ankle. These have quite a contrast between the lighter thighs and darker legs, and there's a lot of scrunch at the knee and ankle, but I think overall they're pretty good for a transitional pair of jeans I can wear for the next several months to a year...what do you think?<br /><br />So, K/R on these two items? Thanks for your advice!<br />
