I don't wear big earrings because DD pulls on them. And I'm also less likely to wear something with cleavage because my ladies just aren't as perky anymore. Otherwise, my wardrobe is basically the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2531131 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 14:42:56 +0000 PinkElephant 2531131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched to higher waisted jeans (still the same cut - skinny), and wear a lot fewer skirts, primarily because I spend so much time pushing a stroller or sitting on the floor. I also started shopping for longer shirts because my carrier would make them ride up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2531127 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 14:41:32 +0000 LindsayLou 2531127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Badger: I miss them so much!

But that's temporary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2531036 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:48:52 +0000 avivoca 2531036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still me, but I tend to avoid button up styles now because my boobs/ribcage are wider and I just don't feel like buying large and then tailoring them. I'm more into making my own skirts because my measurements are so weird, and overall I dress for comfort at home (but still kind of cute). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530993 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:23:13 +0000 pwnstar 2530993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hasn't. Except maybe more flats on the weekend? </p> <p>@yoursilverlining: Yep. I'm still me. Except now I have the most awesome back seat driver! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530990 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:21:48 +0000 Caly 2530990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work wardrobe has remained the same but my casual definitely has! I used to wear a lot of v-necks and not worry about wearing something low cut. Now, I need shirts they don't gape open to show all my bits when I lean over and tops that are more covering. I also wear pants that have more of a rise so I don't have to worry about looking like a plumber if I crouch down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530985 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:20:18 +0000 Madison43 2530985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No more v-neck t-shirts. Large chest plus v-neck plus carrying a squirmy baby and toddler equals flashing your friends and neighbors 😮 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530983 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:19:48 +0000 SweetiePie 2530983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking yesterday about how comfort-focused I am now on shoes. I still want cute, but even a dressy flat isn't comfortable enough for me. I'm wearing cute sneakers, slip on sneakers (supergas) and yosi Samra ballet flats. And for summer just havaianas and Birkenstocks. Anything else that could remotely cut into my feet or squeeze or rub funny - no way. Even nights out I try as hard as I can to avoid heels. </p> <p>As far as clothes my "style" is the same. But now I SAH so naturally I'm focused on cute casual stuff vs work attire. My entire closet used to be business casual and now it's mostly jeans and sweaters and drapey t-shirts. And leggings. More leggings than I imagined I'd own. </p> <p>But in terms of body image, I'm fine with the same cuts and fits as before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530975 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:16:15 +0000 snowjewelz 2530975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first 9 months I was totally into buttons everything for easy access for bf-ing/pumping.</p> <p>I swear my ribcage expanded; a lot of clothes are too tight. I just needed a size up most things :sad: I don't wear anything form fitting since I have muffin top and a pooch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530971 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:12:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 2530971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to wear low-rise pants, now I wear high-rise :silly: :crying: </p> <p>seriously though, my wardrobe hasn't really changed that much. It's been important for me to keep *me* and not just morph into "mom". That's easier since I need to dress professionally every day at work anyway, so I don't really have the option to slide into jeans or yoga pants every day territory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530967 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:10:51 +0000 MrsKoala 2530967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it has changed much. I do find that I buy better quality items that last longer now instead of more fast fashion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530964 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:09:02 +0000 twodoghouse 2530964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I stay home now so I never wear dress pants anymore. I used to wear a lot of dresses, but now I rarely do because all my clothes need to be nursing friendly. I mostly wear a nursing cami with tees over top. I also can't wear underwire bras anymore because it's so uncomfortable and I'm prone to clogged ducts. My boobs are out of control, so if I'm leaving the house I have to wear a crew neck, or I look obscene. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530954 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:05:39 +0000 JerricaBenton 2530954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically I just wear heels less often </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530952 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:04:55 +0000 BSB 2530952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I need to change out my earrings. They have been grabbing at my hair and not letting go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530947 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:02:37 +0000 runnerd 2530947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I literally don't own a pair of heels anymore, and I wear fewer dresses. I also wear more stud earrings since little hands love long dangly earrings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530912 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:35:17 +0000 DesertDreams88 2530912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always worn comfortable clothes and shoes. Now tops have to be nursing friendly and loose (bigger boobs and belly). I balance it out with tighter pants / leggings bc that is the only slender part of me now ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530907 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:34:34 +0000 brownepiano 2530907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to wear a lot of skirts but now they just aren't practical unless they are just the right cut. I was so happy to be done nursing and wear normal shirts again. I'm not looking forward to a summer of nursing again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530898 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:30:31 +0000 kitty 2530898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stick to a more reduced wardrobe, almost a capsule wardrobe. I avoid heels except for special outings which are rare now anyway. I pretty much try to keep it low fuss and comfortable. It has taken a little bit of adjustment really, with the slightly changed body shape and how little effort I want to dedicate to dressing, while really feeling like I want to look nice and not frumpy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530889 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:26:41 +0000 Mama Bird 2530889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh the button down shirts... I hope one day I can wear something that doesn't open in front :crying: but that day hasn't come yet. I've spent most of the last few years in either maternity clothes or nursing friendly clothes, and most of my old wardrobe is just packed away because it's neither! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530872 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:22:20 +0000 looch 2530872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really hasn't. I worked before I had my son, I work now, so I still have a "formal" element to my wardrobe.</p> <p>I wear a lot less "dry clean only" though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530870 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:20:44 +0000 Mamaof2 2530870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it has changed much at all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530868 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:20:03 +0000 ellewoods84 2530868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure! Now that I stay at home with my almost 2 year old, I pretty much live in athletic clothing (I do try to make it somewhat stylish!) or if I am "dressing up" I do jeans and a fancy t shirt. Flats all day, every day either sneakers or sandals. I don't care to wear my tighter jeans without any stretch or shirts that have to be dry cleaned or anything like that. I try to be comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530858 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:16:28 +0000 lamariniere 2530858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No more heels (but that's mostly because I don't work in an office anymore). Everything else is about the same though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530849 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:11:43 +0000 rachiecakes 2530849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought I'd shop for comfort, but I do! (Stylish comfort, I hope!)<br /> I wear way more flats than I ever did. And I can't do low-rise jeans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-wardrobe-changed-after-having-kids#post-2530811 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:45:02 +0000 BSB 2530811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, I'm into button down shirts. </p> <p>All of the tighter fitting shirts I can't wear anymore. I can wear them if they are bigger and loose. </p> <p>I'm probably not going to gym anytime soon. I think I might donate them. </p>
