Now, i'm in tights and shirts that I can button down so I can nurse. </p> <p>I figure when I'm back to Pre-Prego weight, I'll be wearing work clothes and I can buy some new clothes! By the time, I get back -- who knows, styles will change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-32410 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:28:11 +0000 hola abejita 32410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea - your post reminded me of the SNL Mom Jeans commercial.</p> <p><a href="http://www.buzzsugar.com/Mom-Jeans-Saturday-Night-Live-Skit-Video-8346814" rel="nofollow">http://www.buzzsugar.com/Mom-Jeans-Saturday-Night-Live-Skit-Video-8346814</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-32367 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:52:13 +0000 cyndistar3 32367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't say I wear "mommy clothes" but I do dress a little more conservative than before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31989 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:47:17 +0000 LivsMama 31989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: lol I shoulda thought of that! Except my arms were so swollen I doubt I could have gotten them on. But next time you see a commercial with a mom, take a look. Always with that outfit lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31918 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:42:18 +0000 looch 31918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: I wore the tank top under unbuttoned down shirt during the last days of my pregnancy when nothing fit...never going there again, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31916 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:40:41 +0000 LivsMama 31916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>heck no. Im wearing my pre-preg clothes and make it a point to not live in sweatpants (dont get me wrong. I wear them, just not all the time) or the button down shirt unbuttoned with a tank underneats (have you ever noticed thats what moms are ALWAYS wearing in commercials?!). I wouldnt say Im necessarily a trendy dresser. More classic. A lot of J Crew, Ralph Lauren, etc. I also live in NYC where this is common, so to each their own </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31910 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:27:56 +0000 Andrea 31910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Ah, I see. A new wardrobe is a great weight loss motivator! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31908 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:26:18 +0000 heffalump 31908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'm hoping once I lose the baby weight I'll dress a little more stylish again. I think that's a big part of the problem, I'm wearing my sister's hand me downs because I don't want to spend money on clothes that I hopefully will be too thin to wear soon . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31906 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:23:50 +0000 Andrea 31906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: My mom dresses trendier than me now! Whenever I try to pick out clothes for her, she says they are too old. LOL. Growing up though, I never felt like she dressed trendy. I think that goes down the priority list when you're taking care of a young child. But when the child is grown, then you will probably pay more attention again? I see that is what happened to my mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31900 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:09:24 +0000 heffalump 31900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Luckily I'm not wearing mom jeans yet! </p> <p>My mom is pretty stylish (when she wants to be and isn't just wearing a tshirt and jeans) so I guess for me mommy clothes are different. Just a more conservative version of my previous self. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31893 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 07:59:59 +0000 looch 31893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I am the odd one out, because I still wear all kinds of jewelry and my son doesn't touch it (he's 1).</p> <p>The scarves are cute, I like that one that buttons on the side, I can totally even knit that myself! </p> <p>I have to buy a bunch of magazines and check things out. I used to be more in touch with fashion. So what are the fashion trends at the moment? Is it still skinny jeans? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31866 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 01:48:22 +0000 Red 31866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My style has changed but I actually think I'm more stylish now. I told myself that I wasn't going to go down the path to "mom jeans" and have been trying to keep it up. I do, however, dress more comfortably now so more stretchy knit items and definitely less high heels and jewelry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31837 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:54:14 +0000 cupcakemama 31837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do dress more for comfort now but I really, really hope that I am not wearing Mom clothes. It is one of my fears that I will morph into this schlumpy frumpy...not that I was Mrs Vogue Cover before I had LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31736 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:24:42 +0000 Andrea 31736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sulli301: studs for me too or else my daughter will just yank it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31710 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:02:40 +0000 sulli301 31710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: So true about the jewelry! I don't wear many necklaces now and only stud earrings </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31708 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:58:48 +0000 Andrea 31708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are mommy clothes? Like mom jeans? I have changed the way I dress because it is more for comfort now versus before I would wear something uncomfortable for fashions sake. I used to also wear high heels and more jewelry but it is harder to do that now around my LO so I only wear that stuff when I go out at night after she is asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31699 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:50:24 +0000 sulli301 31699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been wearing neutral colors like gray, navy, white, brown, black primarily for years, even though I'm only 24. I am very into great basics...skinny jeans, cardigan sweaters, boy tanks, heels or flats, so they are fashionable but fairly classic, just like before DD was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31635 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:36:13 +0000 Rubies 31635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE my pre-preg clothes. All my clothes is very basic - Gap, Banana Republic, etc. I miss my size 2-4 clothes. SIGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31633 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:34:56 +0000 heffalump 31633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: since the baby came I've given up on accessories. Just something for her to grab and try to yank off of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31619 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:06:03 +0000 mynoahbear 31619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My style hasn't changed and I don't think I wear mommy clothes. I love clothes shopping so I always keep an eye on what's in style. I think I'm a bit more conservative as I'm older now but its not mommy clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31551 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 15:19:04 +0000 chopsuey 31551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: lol. I've never been into accessories! All of my $ goes to shoes and clothes. I do love looking at accessories though. :) If you go to department store websites (neiman marcus, nordstrom) or instyle.com and look at new arrivals or new trends you can get lots of inspiration/tips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31550 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 15:18:57 +0000 Mrs. Armbender 31550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Scarves, a good well tied scarf can take a tshirt and jeans and make it trendy.</p> <p><a href="http://pinterest.com/search/?q=scarves" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/search/?q=scarves</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31544 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:38:55 +0000 looch 31544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: please fill me in on what's trendy in terms of accessories!

( my daycare job allowed yoga pants!) and now.. I'm to cheap to buy nice clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31538 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:17:21 +0000 chopsuey 31538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dress the same as I did before I was pregnant. I'm gonna make an effort to remain trendy. Even when I'm a grandma! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31536 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:14:22 +0000 looch 31536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I wear mommy clothes...I haven't worn trends in years, largely because I've learned over time that I have a body that needs to be dressed a certain way. I have broad shoulders, so halter style tops are out, I have wide hips, so I wear full trousers to balance out the bottom half, that sort of thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31512 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 12:38:03 +0000 Rosie Girl 31512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much dress the same </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-mommy-clothes#post-31510 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 12:31:05 +0000 heffalump 31510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently cleaned out my closet and ended up getting rid of a lot of my prepregnancy clothes. Even if I thought I'd lose the weight and be able to wear some of the things again, they just seemed too short or tight for a mom to wear. I still have the same style that I used to, just a little more conservative I guess. (Not that I dressed slutty before... just younger). </p> <p>Has your wardrobe changed since the baby came, or do you still dress the same? </p>
