I'm feeling pretty good about my post-partum body even though I'm 15 lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. Scales are stupid, you know that? Some days I'm really happy with where things are and other days I'm just miserable & prickly. The reason? I don't always wear clothes that fit. Which leads to the post-partum clothing conundrum. . . Do I buy new clothes or do I wait until my clothes fit? I always like buying new clothes; but if I'm going to lose the weight eventually, I don't want to invest in a garment that won't fit in the future. Then again, if I don't buy clothes that fit me now, I'd just hide my unbuttoned jeans under an uncomfortably tight shirt and ultimately be unhappy with my body. It'd be great if I could get back to my pre-pregnancy size because I have a lot of clothes that I'd like to wear again. But they're just clothes. For now, it's more important that I eat right & like the body that I have right now. Not last year. Since Felix, I've bought a few new things and kept a few pregnancy clothes in the rotation. This method has been pretty good thus far, but perhaps a bit boring with the only two pairs of pants that fit. Ruche offered to send me a little something last month, so when I was browsing their items I immediately gravitated towards their tiered lace skirt. It's adorable, whimsical & has an elastic waist. It's the perfect garment that will be able to fit me now and if I end up losing any weight. It's adorable & super feminine. I've worn it a few different ways & thought I would share those with you: With the spring weather this week, I couldn't help but wear this skirt with some sandals & a casual top. I love that this skirt is transitional. I've got the summer look at the top, then this above, more wintery look. I wore this to my friend's wedding reception. I liked wearing the bold, dark tights with such a light & airy skirt. Contrast is fun. This is what I wore to church a few Sundays ago. It's a little more romantic. I thought it'd be fun to wear it with all similar tones for a monochromatic look. I think the next time I'll wear this outfit with coral lipstick and maybe a bright necklace for a little pop. I've loved wearing this skirt. The soft elastic waistband is incredibly comfortable, which makes me feel good about myself. Thanks, Ruche, for sending it my way!
