Finding Your “New Normal” Style After Baby

Whether your post-baby body is forever changed or still in transition, finding a style after baby that works for this ‘new normal’ (read: curvier) shape can be challenging. Most of us don’t bounce back as quickly as we hope, but it’s no excuse to not feel your best.

While we tend to hold off on spending until our goal weight is reached, this leads to resentment while getting dressed. Instead, invest in strategic pieces that will flex with your changing body. Don’t give up on your personal style! Toss those leggings and T-shirt aside, and treat your luscious self to some newness. You’re worth it!
