Yes! My closet before kids use be very bebe/juicy couture (blah) and now it's mostly gap/j-crew. Totally opposite. I'm really not into wearing flashy, "look at me" clothing anymore. I try to wear clothes that work best for carrying around both kids. I also try to look as clean and not sleep deprived as possible lol.

Yep. I used to be very into goth/rockabilly fashion and now I just cant be bothered. Ive turned into a very "jeans and t-shirt" girl.

I think I'm def more conservative than pre-baby, but overall I'd still wear an edgy or trendy outfit. It's just those outings are few and far between now!

Definitely! I have a closet full of dresses that I can't wear anymore because I think my boobs are hanging out too much! I think when my chest was smaller I could get away with more but now that I'm bigger I feel like I can't wear certain necklines.

Also I feel like a lot of the clothing I have from Juniors dept are too young looking now that I'm a mom.

I have more stylish casual clothes, and just try to avoid dry-clean only outfits now.

I've been struggling with this for a while too. I keep thinking "I'm only 26. Just because I've had a baby doesn't mean I'm suddenly 85"

Honestly, I see a lot of trendy moms and I admire them. I will try to keep my personal style, maybe just try to class it up a bit!

I've always been an 85 year old at heart, my mom calls me a nun with some of my fashion choices...but I am conservative/formal.

I looked pretty casual when I was staying at home, but it never did master the casual/pulled together look. I am doing much better now that I have returned to work and am dressing in more formal clothing.

My style is pretty vanilla as it is, so I can't see it changing much. I do make more of an effort to make sure my hair looks nice and I'm wearing makeup now that I'm pregnant. It helps me feel good about myself when I'm drowning in tiredness.

No..... but I was told I had mom style before. Literally, I used to share clothes with my mom.

I'm only 6 weeks pp, but I don't see my style changing much. I've always had a pretty feminine, but kick-back style.

What will probably change? The frequency in which I shop, for sure. We simply don't have the finances or time for me to keep my shoe collection updated, anymore.

I have noticed that I spend way less time getting ready in the mornings, even on weekends, when I have DH to mind the baby while I get changed. I used to pay far more attention to matching accessories, and trying a new hair style or shade of lip stain, but now it's like, "Let's freaking go before she poops again!"

@deerylou: Everything is still so new! I remember LO's first few ped appointments . . . that was the first time in over a decade that I had been seen in public without a single stitch of makeup. You'll get back to that . . . 6 weeks is still so early!

And the poops! Yes!

I feel less put together; I SAH and LO yanks on any jewelry I wear so it's not worth the fight. Stuff has to be nursing & wash/dry friendly. I think moms (and anyone else) should wear whatever the F they want and feel good in -- but I personally find myself gravitating away from more low-cut shirts. I used to be all about the cleavage but it just feels weird to be honest. Maybe it won't once I'm done breastfeeding?

Mine has for sure... But I think it's a combination of motherhood AND age.

I am only 23 (almost 24!) so before I was pregnant I was still wearing high school/college type clothes. I loved mini skirts with tanks, more trendy summer dresses, I just dressed for my age that was very young...

Once I became a mom not only did my body change in a way that makes those clothes a no-go for me; but I feel I have morphed into more sophisticated and age-appropriate (more late-20's/early 30's) style. I much prefer classy knee length dresses with pumps, or mid rise skinnies with a layered sweater and button up.

I haven't lost my fashion sense and still love looking great, but I have "grown up".

Oh god yes! I am so simplistic now! Hair goes in a pony or updo. I never wear makeup anymore and I love makeup. I hit find that between rubbing my eyes and barely getting in a shower it's not gonna work.

The only big change for me was vowing to never wear uncomfortable shoes again....not even in the slightest, so I've been slowly replacing all my shoes with flats.

Not really. I still dress like a college student. And after meeting DH for lunch last week on campus (he had to work there for the week) I realized I'm not 18 anymore and maybe should dress a little more mature...

No not really, I've always been a jeans and t-shirt girl on the weekends, I still get dressed up and wear heels when we go out. Same when I'm working, heels and dressed up everyday. While I'm on maternity leave I'm wearing more nursing friendly, so still jeans and t-shirt, and I can not leave the house without makeup.

Definitely a little bit. I still like to look put together but I'm far less likely to wear something dry clean only these days. I used to wear heels every day. I still do when the situation warrants it but I definitely don't feel compelled to wear them with lo in the ergo lol. I used to love my beauty rituals but now I just do my makeup and hair and that's it, I don't take my time like I used to. I think that'll come back one day though.

@Mrs. Pen: I just turned 25. I look really young and people used to think I was in high school. I don't get it as much now that I have LO either. But a few people say "oh you look too young to be a mom". Seeing all the 18 year olds moving into the dorms just made me feel old though LOL.
