Give yourself a massive grace period. That's my best wisdom from a mom of three. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1439055 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 03:28:35 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1439055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you back. I came out on the other side of mom-world thinner than I had been for many years due to running myself too ragged with baby and work so be sure to take care of yourself really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1439054 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 03:28:26 +0000 Echo 1439054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so good to see you back, and your outfit is fab, as usual. And don't be so quick to let anything go. Many people say 9 months on, 9 months off in terms of weight, though I absolutely agree that sometimes proportions shift regardless of absolute size. But give it time. The priority right now is not the closet, but on your DD, so any purging that must occur can wait.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1439041 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 03:12:31 +0000 Jaime 1439041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see you!

You look great to me! I had to buy all new pants after my first pregnancy because they were all too short (and I didn't get taller). I got back to the same weight but my waist and hips changed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1438765 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 18:05:10 +0000 Aziraphale 1438765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, you are a funny writer. :-)</p> <p>Well, if the changes to your body are permanent, it doesn't matter, because you still look great. I love your plaid skirt outfit!</p> <p>Adjusting to new motherhood is a process, for sure. As others have suggested, give it time. Avoiding hasty purging decisions seems like a good idea to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1438755 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:50:26 +0000 Elle 1438755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful.</p> <p>I agree with the advice not to make any hasty purging decisions.&nbsp; It takes longer than you think to recover from pregnancy (especially when you aren't sleeping much.)&nbsp; So if you love a piece and it doesn't fit now, box it up and try it next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1438738 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:27:16 +0000 Momo 1438738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so beautiful! Love to see you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1438733 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:18:11 +0000 Eliza 1438733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joining the chorus of welcome backs and appreciation, DV. So good to see you and hear what you have been up to lately. Understandable that a break was in order. Love you in that plaid and your smile reins supreme. </p> <p>I understand the closet purging dilemmas. Perhaps a few favorites can live in the holding zone for awhile; I remember phases of shape changing post-baby. It took awhile to see how it would all go. </p> <p>Best to you and your family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1438724 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:06:40 +0000 merwoman 1438724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful to see you - you look amazing Day Vies! It seemed to take a good year after my first was born ( and maybe two years for the second) for my body to settle down.&nbsp; I did a total purge of all A line skirts - impossible to get a baby in and out of a car seat and not rip a seam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1438707 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 16:29:19 +0000 columbine(erin) 1438707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, I am so glad to see you fab lady! The skirt is lovely on you. I have to echo the other ladies, it's early to purge yet. I understand sadness of not fitting things but that could change in a few months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you/page/2#post-1438691 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 15:18:53 +0000 Anonymous 1438691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day, I've missed your beautiful self and am thrilled to see a post. I think it took my body about a year to settle into it's shape, and that was when fashion was way oversized so most things fit. I was sad to see some clothes have to go when I lost weight, including my carefully cultivated ink capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you#post-1438685 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 15:13:22 +0000 Windchime 1438685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yay! It's good to chat with you again! You look as composed and lovely as ever, and I like the new hair style. Purple is a wonderful color on you. </p> <p>And you know you can always visit, even without pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you#post-1438679 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 15:04:14 +0000 trekkiegirl 1438679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous skirt and it looks wonderful on you, I can see why you are enamored with it. Congrats on your new baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you#post-1438675 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 15:01:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1438675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so good to see you and as always you look beautiful, polished, elegant and so put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you#post-1438663 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 14:48:47 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1438663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so good to see you! Had to laugh at Baby doesn't care what peek a boo partner is wearing... Body changes are a tough one when one has worked hard to acquire a wardrobe they love. It is tough to let go of pieces especially if its just about fit and the door is open for dreaming it could work in the future. Can you tell I am not good at the letting go... I find it easier once I replace items to make room for the new ones to do the purging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you#post-1438653 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 14:27:39 +0000 Karie 1438653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She's back! YAY! I have missed you, girlfriend! And you look as fabulous as ever. All the style elements&nbsp;you love are right there in this outfit - structure, ladylike details, and color.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sometimes it is hard to let go of things in our closet, but there will always be new things to take their place. And of course you know that what's important is not the things in the closet, but in playing that game of&nbsp;peek-a-boo, dressy attire optional :)<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you#post-1438650 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 14:18:43 +0000 gryffin 1438650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day Vies - so good to see you back!!&nbsp; You look amazing!!&nbsp; My only advise, based on when my son was born, is take it slow.&nbsp; I got rid of almost everything after my son was born because it didn't feel "right."&nbsp; Than a year plus later I "woke up" and did a big what was I thinking?&nbsp; Got rid of all that new stuff I hated and ended up closer to my original style but more evolved.&nbsp; There is so much fatigue/hormones/changes - that if you can sit tight and give yourself some breathing room life will become clearer and you'll save a boatload of cash!!&nbsp; Anyway, back to how fabulously stylish and amazing you look!!&nbsp; Kudos girl and wishing you nights filled with unbroken sleep and days with a minimum of stress!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you#post-1438645 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 14:02:44 +0000 Helena 1438645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray!!!

I'm glad that I have not made any major decisions yet. Most of the pieces I've been suspicious of are not staples, just fun pieces I picked up here and there. Nice to know I shouldn't rush to pack them off just yet. </p> <p><b>Marley</b> - I had that horrible feeling that boobs and tummy had merged then I realize I could not remember the last time I had new bra. All is right in the world. Though it may be thicker I knew I had a waist somewhere </p> <p><b>Adelfa</b> - you all are making me feel so good about not rushing to empty my closet. It's so nice to get approval for procrastinating :-D</p> <p><b>Lucy</b> - I have bought some new things but not a whole new wardrobe. I think I am holding my breath waiting for the weather to turn and wondering where my weight will settle once I'm not hibernating in the house anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you#post-1438637 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 13:48:45 +0000 amiable 1438637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! &nbsp;So happy to see you post, and you look radiant! &nbsp;(And what BethAnn said, except that my youngest is 5) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-have-i-missed-you#post-1438635 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 13:45:50 +0000 Suz 1438635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great to see you, Day Vies! I have missed your polished outfits, your incredibly gorgeous smile, and most of all, your intelligence, grace, and joyful attitude.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look terrific in this skirt. The plaid gives a nod to current trends while the shape is beautifully retro.&nbsp;</p> <p>Having a child changes your entire world so I am not surprised it has been a bit of a transition for you in terms of fashion. But you will get your groove back. </p>
