Tank Top: Old Navy ||  Maternity Jeans: AG Skinny Ripped Jeans — Tank Top: Old Navy || Maternity Jeans: AG Skinny Ripped Jeans

I'll admit, I've been in survival mode the past month with my newborn (wow, how has it already been a month?!) and haven't left the apartment much. Well besides our pediatrician appointments, two attempts at a date with my husband, (read: a crying baby in the middle of dinner and needing to rush home to feed her again. Welcome to the new normal!), and our first trip to church (which thankfully she slept through the whole thing!) But honestly, sometimes I find myself wearing my pjs all day long in the house! Haha. But we've had a good amount of visitors so I've actually needed to get dressed for the day on occasion. :) Lol. So I wanted to share what I've been living in the past month for any new moms struggling with what to wear post baby. Because for me, I had such a tough time. While breastfeeding has been amazing (in so many ways but also with how quickly the weight has come off - crazy how God created our bodies to do that), I'm still not at my starting weight. I'm being very patient with my new body and grateful that it's already been a faster transition than I thought but the reality is my old clothes don't really fit me right now. (Insert Mean Girls quote: "Sweat Pants are all that fit me right now!" Haha). Most of my bottoms are still pretty tight along with my tops because of my new bra size! (which btw never experienced that before! hah. It's fun but I'm like, crap - nothing fits me!)

So I'm still in my maternity jeans (I never bought maternity shorts although I probably should have since it's like 100 degrees outside right now. But I'm not really going outside...so who am I kidding?). I also secretly really like my maternity jeans (they're so comfy!) so I'm cool with it! I just role the elastic part down (btw I was never that pregnant woman who wore the elastic band high up.....am I weird? I always rolled it down. Haha). So I ended up buying a bunch of loose causal tank tops (a size up) from Old Navy. I have an Old Navy close to my apartment so it was really easy for me to run in there in between feedings after week 1 and grab a few tanks that I felt comfortable and cute in. Plus they were super cheap (and all on sale right now). I think it's important, at least for me, while your body is still changing to have a few pieces that you can feel confident in (and hide the postpartum belly).

Very chic and functional)

I wish I could tell you these tops are great for nursing but they're really not. I've just had to take them off when I'm feeding her at home or raise them over my head with a cover. I was on the hunt for some cute nursing clothes but haven't really found too many that I really liked. Why are they all so ugly?! If anyone has any suggestions though, please let me know! At night time, however, I've really loved these nursing tanks from Target. I have one in every color. I also got this casual nursing top from ASOS and then this black nursing cami from Target to wear to bed. I actually wore it on my date night too with my sleeveless vest over it! I have these two nursing bras from Target that I really like in gray stripe and mochaccino. They're comfy and affordable. If anyone has suggestions of other bras you're a fan of, please let me know. One of my favorite purchases has been this cozy gray robe from Pink Blush Maternity. I could wear this all day long! Note* This robe is not as long as it looks on the model (although I am 5'8") but I would almost say it's short even for not being pregnant. So don't be mislead by the bump pic online. I just realized that I match my bedding below. Haha. Can you tell I really like gray!?
