Post Pregnancy Shopping - Inspiration Stella McCartney

Let's face it. Nobody wants to buy clothes in bigger sizes. But there are times in life when you have to surrender. Like having a baby and realizing you're still pounds away from your original weight and the 5 year old, jersey maxi dress you've been wearing nearly every day just ain't cuttin' it anymore. (Have you missed my fashion posts? Ya, me too.) 

I promise to get back to it. In the meantime, I vow to show you (in all painful honesty) what a real post-baby body looks like. And I will start next week. (Gulp.) I know, I'm scared too.

Why do this? Because I think that's more important than hiding out for a couple of months and making my readers feel like I'm some sort of anomaly. I'm not. I'm just a regular mama who's going to have to work at it like the rest of world. 

So, here we go... here's my first inspiration and the key pieces I ordered online to get me through.

Inspiration: This Stella McCartney look. 

I found these ridiculously similar pants (on sale here!) at Gap and decided to grab this easy cami for layering too.  I already own a similar sweater and although I'm still searching for the perfect, black tuxedo blazer, I think I might have something in my closet that will suffice to get this look rockin' and this mama out in the world again. Stay tuned. 



PS - You were worth every pound, little man.
