Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-figuring-out-the-mom-formula#post-1079847 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 06:10:06 +0000 Scarlet 1079847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 is fabulous! I know this is such a hard phase to go through dressing-wise. I think the best strategy is to do as you did and buy some non-investment new things to get you through it. I found oversized shirts to be very breastfeeding friendly, especially layered over nursing tank tops with a built in bra, like the ones from Glamourmom. Congratulations on your baby and his passport! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-figuring-out-the-mom-formula#post-1079830 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 05:45:36 +0000 Day Vies 1079830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1 I adore the tension in the red sweater with the blue skirt. The bow ties it all together nicely. Hugs on getting used to your new body -- you will find a happy place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-figuring-out-the-mom-formula#post-1079781 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 04:14:01 +0000 Marmee 1079781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2. &nbsp;Good for you for thinking about the me time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-figuring-out-the-mom-formula#post-1079696 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 02:33:07 +0000 peacechick 1079696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I negotiated some me time every weekend with DH on daddy duty so I'll try to dress up then. </p> <p>Marin, I thought the jacket was ponte but it's just plain cotton-polyester. It's thicker and sleeker than sweatshirt material though, and layers pretty well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-figuring-out-the-mom-formula#post-1079639 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 01:27:13 +0000 Aida 1079639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're really&nbsp;rocking the MOTG formula in #2, super look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-figuring-out-the-mom-formula#post-1079616 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 01:05:54 +0000 Angie 1079616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome and more thumbs up for #2.

See, don't you feel better? I'm about to burst with joy for you because when you dress up again you are ready to rejoin the world after having a baby. &nbsp;</p> <p>They take a lot out of you so don't feel guilty if you want to play dress up, or even dress down,&nbsp;by yourself. &nbsp;Those MOTG formulas are wonderful and before you know it you will be back in all your old things. &nbsp;And if you don't like them, or if they still don't fit right you just get to buy all new! &nbsp;</p> <p>You go Momma! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-figuring-out-the-mom-formula#post-1079479 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 22:35:52 +0000 Anonymous 1079479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab! And so put together! Congrats on your little guy. I love your moto jacket. Is it sweatshirt material? Perfect solution for a new mom, easy care, baby wearing appropriate, yet still had some structure, great find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-figuring-out-the-mom-formula#post-1079425 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:28:45 +0000 rachylou 1079425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great.

Dressing my body postpartum has been hard as 1)i dont love the way my body looks, 2) a lot of my clothes no longer fit and 3) I have to dress for breastfeeding. But challenges are good! Here's what I wore this week. The first outfit was just because I got tired of wearing pajamas (the dress is a deep v-neck and needs to be covered up). The second one is a MOTG formula and I'm really happy with it. I babywore my son to get his passport done and felt reasonably stylish. The moto jacket is new, and I got a cheap pair of h&amp;m jeans to tide me till the next size down. Thanks for indulging my dressing up thoughts! </p>
