If you are not comfortable with your temporary new mom figure, focus on the other parts of you. Try out a new lipstick. Take time to paint your nails.

Try a sweater dress when you are a new mom. Not only do they look fabulous but they are very forgiving. They are great at camouflaging anything that you don’t want attention called to, as well.

Leggings and tunics work very closely to how a sweater dress does. They make a figure flattering outfit that is very forgiving. Also, both a sweater dress or a tunic and leggings are so versatile. They can be worn for literally any occasion. They can be dressed up or down.

I have grown to have a passion for costume jewelry, belts and all other accessories. One thing I love about them is that you can wear them even if your size changes. They are also a very economical way to spruce up your look.
