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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
I agree with the advice not to make any hasty purging decisions. It takes longer than you think to recover from pregnancy (especially when you aren't sleeping much.) So if you love a piece and it doesn't fit now, box it up and try it next year.
Well, if the changes to your body are permanent, it doesn't matter, because you still look great. I love your plaid skirt outfit!
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.
Good 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.
Yes I get attached to items in my closet. The farther away the trip (and less likely that I will visit the place again) the harder it is for me to get rid of something, even if I don't use it currently. I figure as long as the bulk of my wardrobe is NOT sentimental pieces, then it's ok to own a few.
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.
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.
