Trying to find clothes to wear after having a baby SUX!

My maternity stuff is too big and my normal clothing makes me look like a stuffed sausage. I do not want to invest in clothing at this stage!Chat Icon Chat Icon

I know--it was a horrible feeling, but you are, unfortunately, going to have to buy at least one pair of jeans to make you feel "normal" again. I actually splurged on my post-partum jeans. I bought a pair of citizens of humanity because i knew i would get every penny's worth out of them, and I have! I would also get a few cheap hooded sweatshirts from American Eagle and some cheap tanks to throw on underneath. I am almost 4 months PP and still don't fit into my old jeans, but I am getting there--there is hope!

One word SPANX!!!!!!

I didn't buy any in b/w clothes. The only thing that really was bigger was my belly and even though this took 3-4 mos to go down I stayed in maternity jeans b/c the others were too big everywhere else. With spanx I could fit into regular jeans by about 3 mos pp. GOOD LUCK!

Well I am wearing my jeans and other "play" clothes but I really am feeling challenged with stuff to wear to work. Chat Icon

I know you don't want to buy new clothes but you try to go to NY &Co and try on their city knit pants. They are the best for when you are having one of those days when you feel like nothing fits you properly.

Congrats on your baby!!!!

TY, a few girls in the office also mentioned NY&Co. They say they are great for work, and fit well. Thanks for the tip.
