Mission #35, Day 5--Feel Good Outfit
This last tip for postpartum style for Mission Week I think is the most important. While I typically think that going on a shopping spree when you are trying to lose weight, I would condone finding one or two (or a few . . .) pieces that really fit you. And not only fit you, but make you feel good.
As I've discussed, dressing your postpartum body can be challenging--not only physically but mentally as well. I actually picked this little shirtdress out at the Goodwill Show and Swap when I was muy pregnant-o, hoping that I would be able to "make it work" (haha, Tim Gunn reference from when I met Tim Gunn at the show) after I had the baby.
I somehow got the inkling to try this little diddy on without much positive thought that it would actually fit and/or button up. It was to my absolute delight that it did in fact fit! And it worked out great for breastfeeding since it buttons in the front.
All day I was swinging and bouncing around in this dress. It made me feel so much more like my "old self". And when you have extra pounds, half the sleep and get peed or vomited on multiple times a week--it doesn't get much better than that.
Don't forget to enter the oNecklace Etsy Shop gift card giveaway! Entries accepted until midnight (MST) tonight! Winner will be announced on Monday, June 23.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
