Back to work after Maternity Leave. I am 30 pounds heavier than I was pre Toby and 37 pounds heavier than I was pre Christmas pre Toby. Hardly anything fits and I feel fat in everything so I am making a c0nscious decision to wear clothes that are comfy and make me feel good.
THURSDAY: First day back. A dress from Topshop and cardigan from Wallis, purchased by my lovely Nan on our last trip to England. I am also wearing my Xena Warrior Princess Earrings to empower me for the day!
FRIDAY: Another dress from Nan, this time from Dorothy Perkins. It is covered in butterflies which I usually don't like but did on this dress. The cardigan once belonged to my little Nan who died last year. The necklace was a gift from my best friend Sarah.
SATURDAY: None of my hiking clothes fit, so a trip into the White Mountains this weekend meant I had to improvise with leggings and a "dress" that had been destined for goodwill.
SUNDAY: Very casual for Church this week as it was so hot. Tank Top from J Crew, Skirt stolen from my mum, I think Dorothy Perkins.
MONDAY: The cardigan and belt are from LL Bean, I made the dress and I also made my accessories!
TUESDAY: Another dress stolen from Mum and Cardigan from LL Bean
I have an extensive collection of earrings and necklaces so I have been trying to vary that this week. Wearing earrings and not the same old studs feels like getting out of the rut of maternity leave casual!
I LOVE every outfit! You're doing a great job nurturing those babies right now, let the weight thing bother you some other time...right now is about loving every day with your sweet boys. The outfits look amazing and I'm inspired by the pictures!
