First WIW (half). Stripes & coral.

This is my first WIW. Kind of a half WIW, really. I am just wearing my levi's perfect waist straight leg jeans, but they are kind of big on me now. I don't feel like buying more pants since I'm in the process of losing weight, and I'll shrink out of them in a month or two.

Anyway, so this might be a little much for my SAHM lifestyle. I'll admit, I'm paranoid that I will get spitup, snot, or syrup on my new coral shirt. lol I may have to find something a bit more casual for at home.

I've had this striped cardigan for a couple years. Too outdated?

What do you guys think of the belt placement? Higher (closer to my natural waist), lower, or a semi tuck? Or without? My 2 year old is in the tub behind me, so that's his arm you see.

Thoughts? Tips? Tops are tough for me because of my bust size.

Oh my goodness, you are adorable! Great outfit. I like #3 because I'm on to tucking and belting right now. This would be a great outfit to go grocery shopping in, but I can understand not wanting to wear it around the house. I do a sort of "Mr. Rogers change-out" when I get home. Are you *sure* you've had four babies? You look incredible!

Congrats on your first WIW - it's a big step in the process isn't it? You are GORGEOUS - look at that beautiful hair colour and creamy complexion!

Coral is a fantastic colour on you and I like the stripes over top. I like the fit of the top and prefer it with the tuck and belt in pic #3.

Looking forward to seeing more of your lovely outfits!

LOL! I know exactly what you mean. My SAHM clothes are all machine washable. You are gorgeous and I love your WIW! So nice to meet you and welcome! I think the striped cardi looks very current especially paired with coral--so pretty! All variations look great

Well done!

#3 and #4 my best. Fab layering.

Remember that your goal is to dress your body shape right now - not to wait till you've reached your weight loss goal. If you need a pair of jeans or two that fit to tide things over, it's a good idea to purchase them.

Thank you all! I have never been much of a tucker, or a belter for that matter, so it's interesting that #3 seems to be a favorite. I may have to become a tucker. I do have a pair of jeans that fits me, and the ones I have on aren't too terrible. I'm just kind of between sizes right now. I was tempted to buy a pair the other day, but we just don't have it in our budget to buy and then buy again in another month or two. I'll be happy once all the baby weight is gone and I no longer have to worry about growing or shrinking out of my clothes.

Another big fan of #3 here. The coral is really lovely with your complexion.

Gosh, that shirt is lovely with your hair and skin. I also like it tucked and belted, and I don't think the cardi is too dated.

I second Shannon -- your hair is lovely (both cut and color) and your creamy complexion looks terrific with the orange. Rack up another vote for #3!

Glad to see you post, and excellent job multi-tasking bath time!

Love your haircut! So perfect on you!

Love the coral color on you, and it looks fab with the striped top. Woohoo! Your first WIW!

I'm also in favor of 3. You look so adorable and this is a spiffy, modern outfit. Definitely a keeper. Also, you disguise any major chestage very effectively. I wish I could. Also helps to have such a pretty face and sleek, excellent haircut. Looking forward to future WIWs.

You. Are. GORGEOUS!!!

And how fun is it that you are snapping pics with your baby in the tub behind you?

I love you in #3 especially. Fun colours for you and a nice outfit.

I love this color palette! You look warm and glowy in coral. My favorite is #2. I like the brown skinny belt above your natural waist. Phenomenal!

Wellcome to the wiw's at YLF! Honestly, YLsoFab in that coral shirt and the bold stripes that sorry, i couldn't even notice about the belt's placement! Love your hair, and smile, too! This is a good example on how much means a good color, and a fab groomed cut(my all times dreaded frump factor)! So, I love all 4, cannot choose, sorry:-).
