Post-baby dressing/camouflage part 1

This first website I found has all stages of pregnancy dressing, including post baby.

http://walkingwithdancers.blogspot.ca/2012/03/looking-good-while-pregnant.html?showComment=1351445862566&m=1

A book I found called "Hot in a minivan" has 10 Mom wardrobe essentials. I'll list them here.

1. Dark denim, 2% Lycra/stretch

2. Tunic top. If tummy is issue, look for empire style. To camouflage legs or bum, look for one that hits just above the knee.

3. Classic cardigan. Long enough to wear over leggings, but not oversized

4. Everyday dress

5. Black leggings--these may be more forgiving than first non-maternity jeans post baby. Just remember something long enough over it.

6. Boyfriend jacket--fits in the shoulder but slightly roomy in the middle

7. Simple shirt dress

8. Casual striped tee

9. Fitted pencil skirt

10. A wow-worthy red dress. Either tailored or wrap-style

Also says 5 ways to look thinner:

1. Slim with one color(head to toe)

2. Busy patterns--to hide or distract from problem areas. No more than 1 piece of clothing with pattern at once

3. Statement jewelry--big earrings or chunky necklace to draw attention elsewhere

4. Long scarf- provides belly bulge or chest camouflage

5. Add a wide belt to create a waist

Also: how to hide your jiggle in a jiff

1. Don't try to squeeze into too small clothes. Fit is more important than size

2. No clingy tshirts/tops. Look for gathering at bust and looser at the bottom.

Another website, which in my opinion has a few ideas for nursing.

Purple shirt remixing

The great news is this matches everything you have! In the pics, the items on the side shows what I think would coordinate. You can wear with or without the bolero(sp?), button front shirt, gray sweater or the red cardigan(use your judgement if you like that color combo or not). Also, just so you know, if I show with just the capris or a pair jeans, it'll work for the other jeans/capris too.

I put all your things into my Stylebook app last night so I can layer better, that why you'll see the shirts & layering pieces with the inside layer missing.

One shirt, 4 looks

Here are the first few looks I came up with, based off the black & white printed top. The shrug & cardigan both go nicely--depending on mood and/or weather. I love black with red but can't pull it off because of hair color.
