If anything, a little sluttier because of the boobs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-786445 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:08:04 +0000 shopaholic 786445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoo hoo! In Miami I don't think anyone would bat an eye at all! I think I would dress the same, but haven't had the opportunity to get all sexed up yet! I'd probably feelers uncomfortable being too sexy going out with the baby, but not if we were out just with adults, if that makes sense?<br /> I'm just wondering how to do the bra-less/strapless/backless styles while nursing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-786411 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:00:37 +0000 heffalump 786411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always dressed like a mom. Even when I was at my thinnest, I liked to be covered up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-786366 Thu, 16 May 2013 12:50:48 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 786366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only do in the sense that I'm nursing (got to cover those babies up). Once I'm done nursing, I'll go back to my pre-pregnency style - which was not all that sexy to begin with. </p> <p>That dress is hot and you should definitely wear it again! I would be nervous about baby fluids on my nice clothes, though, so I wouldn't wear something fancy with him around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-786079 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:30:27 +0000 Smurfette 786079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dress about the same, only can't wear half of my clothes cause my boobs are too big and not easy BF access. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-786067 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:28:30 +0000 sea_bass 786067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to wear bandage dresses pre-pregnancy. If I could fit in them again I would wear them, but not out and about with my baby. Only if I were out drinking/clubbing with friends or husband. IDK, it would just feel very weird to me to be with my baby and dressed in something so sexy. </p> <p>No idea why. </p> <p>Also, amazing that you can wear that dress PP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-786062 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:27:58 +0000 Mrsbells 786062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do pay more attention to make sure I can pick up my daughter without flashing people. I also have to beware of certain loose fitting clothing because she will try to undress me in public </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-786042 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:23:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 786042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always loved to wear heels and I dress pretty fashionably, but I have never been one to show a lot of skin. Even before baby, I didn't really wear any super sexy clothes. so....I would say I dress the same! !</p> <p>But I also think it depends on where you live. Like that bandage dress is probably super "normal" in FL, but I have NEVER seen someone wear something that sexy out around here. Most people dress like grungy hipsters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-786033 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:20:51 +0000 Weagle 786033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I've always dressed fairly modestly. I do pay more attention to how well I can move/quickly scoop up a baby without flashing everyone now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-786016 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:17:27 +0000 dookie32 786016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't say I necessarily dress more conservatively because I sort of already did before. I'm just much more self-conscious about my stomach now post-baby so I've been buying more loose-fitting tops and flowy dresses. I also dress a lot more for comfort with having to carry or play with my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785990 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:12:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 785990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perhaps a little bit... I used to rock mini skirts and tank tops but I just don't have the body for it anymore. And with all the bending over, running, etc that goes along with a toddler I have to be insanely practical about my outfits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785963 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:08:58 +0000 regberadaisy 785963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No because I'm pretty conservative already. Any more and I'll be dressed like a nun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785944 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:05:25 +0000 googly-eyes 785944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure it's fine if you're in Miami and it fits you!</p> <p>But I have sadly gained some weight since having lo (lost all the pregnancy weight but then gained some back) so I'm trying to lose a little weight before wearing a bunch of my pre-baby clothes. I wasn't the bandage-dress wearing type before though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785888 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:55:52 +0000 mrskc 785888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you can rock that dress, then by all means, wear it! And I'm sure it's fitting in Miami. </p> <p>I think I dress the same maybe a little less conservative b/c I feel like showing off my bigger, breast milk filled boobies. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785862 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:51:17 +0000 chopsuey 785862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zexy mama!!<br /> I dress more conservatively only bc I hvent lost all my baby weight. Pretty sure I'd never be able to pull a dress like that off again.. But if I could, I'd totally rock it on a date night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785854 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:49:37 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 785854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started dressing a little more conservatively within the last few years (post-30), but my new giant boobs make most things less conservative! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785849 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:46:29 +0000 mrsjyw 785849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a chance to wear old dresses with LO in tow. So in that sense I'd probably be more conservative. When DH and I go out-- I still dress in my pre-baby clothes.</p> <p>LOVE that dress :) I do think I'd get eyes, but that's also because we're in MI! </p> <p>I'm sure you blended right in and ppl were probably assuming you were H's nanny, not her mama! Zexy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785843 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:44:56 +0000 Bookish 785843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha um... not a mom yet but I plan on dyeing my hair tips purple while on maternity leave... just because I can. So no, I probably will not dress more conservatively hehe! </p> <p>@PrincessBaby: My, that's a hawt dress! Girl, if you are lucky enough to pull it off, by all means wear that baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785841 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:44:44 +0000 MamaMoose 785841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These days my outfit choices are all about easy access to the boobs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-more-conservatively-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-785837 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:43:11 +0000 PrincessBaby 785837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night we went to dinner for DH's bday and we went to a "cool" pre-baby place and brought LO (we went super early). DH wanted me to wear this bandage dress I have from Bebe and so I did. Pre baby, I felt super sexy in it. Holding a baby, I felt like I looked slutty! I have the dark blue, but probably won't be wearing it again!<br /> <a href="http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/Bodycon-Dresses/Back-Cutout-Shine-Bodycon-Dress/pc/197/c/0/sc/204/13696.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/Bodycon-Dresses/Back-Cutout-Shine-Bodycon-Dress/pc/197/c/0/sc/204/13696.pro</a></p> <p>DH was all about it, but I felt SO uncomfortable in it, even though I'm smaller than I was the last time I wore it!</p> <p>Are you more conservative now?</p> <p>Would you think ill of someone holding a 5 mos old and wearing that dress w/heels?</p> <p>Fwiw, we live in the Miami area so bandage dresses out on the town are pretty common...But I felt like a streetwalker lol </p>
