Wardrobe Building

If you’ve ever been in the process of loosing weight, you will know how frustrating it can be to go to your well stocked closet to get dressed and nothing really fits.  If you’ve ever had a baby, you will understand how confusing it can be to try and dress a new body shape all together {even my shoe size is different}.

Since I am on the journey of loosing baby weight, I am not exactly wanting to spend a load of cash on a whole new wardrobe.  However, I am a firm believer in feeling good about yourself and let’s face it, ill fitting clothing isn’t making anyone feel cute.  With this in mind, I have slowly been piecing together a little in between wardrobe for Spring.  To give me lots of looks with only a few pieces, I’ve made sure to keep things basic.  My wardrobe breakdown:

– 2 pairs of printed pants {1 jersey, 1 tailored}
– 1 pair of dark wash jeans
– 1 pair of black pants
– 3 t-shirts {1 white, 1 grey, 1 black}
– 1 printed blouse {I went with a black & white leopard print}
– 1 sleeveless blouse in a solid colour {black was my pick}
– 2 blazers {1 black, 1 striped}
– 1 cardigan
– 2 pairs of flats {1 leopard print loafer & 1 nude ballet flat…ok + a pair of black Toms for the weekend}

This wardrobe, along with previously owned items like bags, jewelry, and scarves, allows me to mix and match many different looks.  I have not been buying any investment pieces either.  Cheap and cheerful is the way to go when you’re only going to be wearing the items for a short time.

Good luck to all my fellow new mommies out there.  Now I’m off to make a smoothie and get an at home workout in!
