I never thought I'd shop for comfort, but I do! (Stylish comfort, I hope!)
I wear way more flats than I ever did. And I can't do low-rise jeans.

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!

It really hasn't. I worked before I had my son, I work now, so I still have a "formal" element to my wardrobe.

I wear a lot less "dry clean only" though.

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.

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

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.

I used to wear low-rise pants, now I wear high-rise

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.

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.

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.

But in terms of body image, I'm fine with the same cuts and fits as before.

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.

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).

Not really.

My style hasn't changed except for the shoes I wear.
I used to never wear flats, but now I wear them most of the time. I wear heels once a week when we go to church.

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.
