It was my favorite dress for a long time, but when I put it on that day... I felt very bleah.</p> <p>And Inge, that black blazer has so been getting a workout. LOL, I wore the brown one on the fifth day 'cuz I was afraid someone was going to say something. Haha. The black one is really comfy tho.</p> <p>Speedy recovery to you too, Lisa! The trousers and jeans... I'm wondering if I'll able to wear them again. But they are painful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-surgery-wardrobe#post-439806 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 01:47:46 +0000 Lisa 439806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are in recovery mode together. I am also clothing challenged right now with trousers and jeans, I can't get them over my foot yet. Dresses are the perfect solution for your recovery.

Had some surgery a couple of weeks ago (hernia) and am getting back in the swing of things. Had my first week back at work. </p> <p>It's a good thing I found YLF before having surgery. I would never have thought about a recovery wardrobe. I usually wear trousers or jeans, but the only pants I've been able to wear is a single pair of grey yoga pants.</p> <p>Ok... so what I've been wearing to avoid irritating my stitches, which are on my lower torso, pretty much right where you bend to sit:</p> <p>#1-2: no waist dresses - sweater dress from Old Navy over Target t-shirt dress, black Guess blazer; I wore this outfit to the hospital too</p> <p>#3: Wrap dress</p> <p>#4: Another wrap dress!</p> <p>#5: Dress with back ties, empire waist</p> <p>#6: Another empire waist dress with Forever 21 velvet-like blazer</p> <p>I pretty much dug up every waistless knit dress I own! </p>
