Hi Ladies,

I just had a baby 9 weeks ago and have lost most of the pregnancy weight.
(A whopping 40 lbs) I'm ready to shop again.

My problem is, I stopped thinking about fashion while I was preggers b/c
it was sad not being able to wear anything besides pregger clothes.
Anyhoo, all of my clothes are super outdated and I desperately need
some advice in what to look for when I'm shopping. In other words,
what are the absolute "must have"s?

I'm 5'7'', about 138 lbs, a basic kinda gal who looks much taller than the real
numbers b/c of my broad shoulders. Maybe this is a dumb post but I'm open
to any suggestions... Maybe you can help me figure out what's in these days...?
Is the shrug thing over a lacy cami still in? BTW, I'm in my early 30s.

TIA!

P.S.: Life is too short for ugly clothes!

first cong. on your weight lost- wow that is some quick work. Yes the shrug and camis are still in, in fact they are one of my fav. Good luck shopping and you most post in stylethread with your new clothes

Hi there!  And congrats! 


First things first...are you nursing or not?  This will dictate some wardrobe choices.  Are you going to stay-at-home or are you heading off for corporate America.  Again, choices.


Let me know, and I'll try to get back to you with some appropriate wardrobe recs...

Hi leah_leanna,

I'm part-time nursing. (?) I don't see much difference in breast size though.
I quit my job as I am relocating but will be seeking employment in my new hometown.

I guess I need some cool everyday clothes with some corporate clothes as well.
I don't want my new friends to think I'm stuck in the past.

BTW, as I previously mentioned, I have broad shoulders and I find the lacy
Victorian look doesn't suit my frame quite well.

Otherwise, I'd appreciate all suggestions! Thank you.

Thank you, kaykay.

In that case, I'll keep my black shrug. =)

  • NY & Co has some great blouses/dress shirts.   You can wear them with a solid tank underneath.  Easy access for nursing when necessary

  • Target/Walmart?  One of those two.  Came out with slacks and T's that won't stain.  Always a good bet.
