S&B people, I need your help.
I'm a clear winter, in a bit of a rut and think a wardrobe overhaul will help. 17 days ago I had a lovely baby. Before she was born, I was wearing a range of maternity clothes from Seraphine, Isabella Oliver, Mothercare and Top Shop. Many of these were from a previous pregnancy and I was really happy in them.
Only a few of these are suitable for nursing. I have some lovely nursing tops and a couple of nursing dresses. I don't fit into pre-pregnant trousers/ skirts so have nothing to wear with the tops.
I'm looking to create a capsule wardrobe that I can nurse in that will see me through to next Spring. I fed DD1 to 8 months and will probably do the same with DD2.
I've got some great nursing bras, but need everything else apart from vest tops, two nursing t shirts in red and olive green, a maxi dress in cream and an orange shift dress.
Pre-pregnancy I was a size 12. I was on steroids for part of the pregnancy and have a monster big bum and hips, as well and the remaining wobbly tummy. I'm post c-section so want to avoid anything that digs into my scar as it's very sore at the moment. I think I am probably a size 16.
I used to run and with DD1 ran with the buggy and got my figure back pretty fast. The plan is the same this time but I have a lot more to lose and tone so flattering lines would be fabulous.
I've been feeling quite down and a lot of that is made worse by wearing the same cream dress endlessly and lacking confidence to go out in it again and again.
I'd love some clothes suitable for mother and baby groups, socialising but also for KIT days at work.
Oh and I can't drive yet after the c section so anything I can order online is a bonus.
