I lost an extra 20 lbs after C was born, so I was definitely slimmer, but the styles that used to flatter me didn't look good, and styles that used to draw attention to my problem spots started looking good. I guess my problem spots moved? But, since I knew I'd be having another baby in not too long I have still be going cheap and disposable. Once I wean our second LO, I'm going to try and embrace buying quality items that I love. </p> <p>I'll def listen to this next time I'm cleaning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-for-your-new-body#post-2246352 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 18:45:57 +0000 knittylady 2246352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I so loved that podcast. I'm working on finding stores/lines that will fit well with my new body and it's been a bit tough. These crop tops aren't so hot for the long bellied among us. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-for-your-new-body#post-2246265 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 15:41:26 +0000 Eminthevalley 2246265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: I just signed up for StitchFix a few days ago. I really am trying to create a capsule wardrobe or at least a work "uniform" like pants, printed top, cardigan, skirts...I wish I had a bigger budget :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-for-your-new-body#post-2245906 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 19:35:18 +0000 Littlebit 2245906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eminthevalley: meee! Not so much redefining my style but I'm trying to be a smarter shopper! I used to buy lots of cheap clothes that were cute but they didn't lay right, or I had to keep tugging at them, or they only looked good with one outfit, you get the idea. They also were horribly quality. </p> <p>Now I'm trying to think hard about the pieces I'm buying. Are they well made? Do they fit well? Will they be out of style in two seasons? All things I ask before buying now. I just did a big purge of all the crap in my closet...and its bare bones!! I've been using stitch fix and shopping online to build it back up. I'm only buying pieces I LOVE, so it'll take a while, I'm sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fashion-for-your-new-body#post-2245818 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 15:36:04 +0000 Eminthevalley 2245818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this podcast in general, but this episode in particular changed the way I think about my "post-baby" (ahem, 2 years post-baby) body. <a href="http://longestshortesttime.com/podcast-56-the-new-you-itll-do/" rel="nofollow">http://longestshortesttime.com/podcast-56-the-new-you-itll-do/</a><br /> I have gotten rid of stuff that doesn't fit me. I am trying to focus on clothes I feel good in and redefining my style rather than beating myself up over getting back to pre-baby weight...even if I get there, my body is not going to be shaped the same.<br /> Anyone else working at re-discovering their style? </p>
