When I first became a new mother, the confident woman who I once knew was gone. That girl was nowhere to be found. Feeling good about yourself as a new mother is notoriously difficult. It took me 8 months postpartum with my first to start feeling like myself (sort of) again. But style is important. Our style as women evolve with motherhood. It’s common to feel the need to omit the desire to shop once we enter this journey. We can blame our changing body shape and ever-evolving style needs: first a growing belly, then the yearlong need for quick-but-not-revealing boob access that follows.
But I do still want to feel good about myself. So, how do you rebuild a sense of personal style from scratch and rediscover the joy of dressing well again?
I personally loved watching tutorials from other women and their style guides, so I decided to curate one. An Autumn guide for you muses. Keep a open mind and use your imagination and enjoy this special style piece. I myself do not have a defined style. It changes with my environment, mood and season. This video is specially curated with mothers in mind and how the outfits move chasing children around, kisses and cuddles. The most important thing to do when you are stuck in a style rut is to discover—or rediscover—the joy of clothes and I hope this video will do just that.
