Style Diary: Little Black Dress

There’s a reason I haven’t written a style diary post in months.  As a new mom with a 2month old, the only thing I accessorize with these days is a burp cloth.  Dressing up to me now simply means actually putting on a bra.  I now understand why moms spend so much time in Juicy sweatpants.  I can barely get out of my PJs on most days!  You may find this weird coming from such a fashion-obsessed blogger like me but when you’re so sleep deprived and forced to try and take naps whenever the baby is down, staying in your PJs not only makes it easier to jump into bed at all times of the day but it also saves time.  And as any mom with a newborn knows, time is of the essence!

Currently, I have a rare and precious moment to myself now that baby is taking her nighttime nap.  And I feel thankful to be able to pinterest and fantasize about wearing all these little black dresses.  They’re beautiful, aren’t they?

At 8 weeks post c-section, I have 8lbs to lose before I can fit back into my own LBDs.  Not bad for not having had a moment to work out I guess and totally worth the sweet, precious gift I’ve been given!

 

Style Diary: What To Wear at 36 Weeks Pregnant

Stretchy dresses rock!  My non-maternity wrap dresses and dresses with a little spandex have made getting dressed at 36 weeks pregnant a little more bearable.  First dress is by Cynthia Steffe and second dress is by Theory.

 

I did find it hard to zip up my leather brown boots in the picture above though!

  • Lbs gained in the past 2 weeks:  3!
  • Lbs gained during pregnancy:  23
  • est. baby’s weight at this stage:  6lbs

 

I’m in the home stretch and can hardly believe that I’m about to really have a family!  No  more free-spirited newlywed life!  We’re about to be tied down real soon.  And I can hardly wait!
