1. Make it fun! Countless sleepless nights, not enough
coffee and a baby that requires all of your attention, all of the time, can make
for too many days of sweatpants and old tee shirts. But if you make it fun,
then you’re more likely to channel that style of yours that you may have lost a
bit in the mix of a new baby. One of my favorite ways to make it fun is to
match with my baby! He’s not the only one that gets to look cute! If I have him
in a little striped onesie, I’ll throw on a cute striped dress. It’s fun to
match (sometimes) and hey, there’s only a short window of time where this is
acceptable, so I’m taking full advantage!
3. Look cute, feel cute. This is something I’ve found to
prove true time and time again. The days that I do nothing for myself- when I
put no makeup on, don’t think about my outfit, those are the days that I just
feel frumpy and down on myself. But when I make a bit of an effort, I feel
confident and more like myself. And when you look cute, you feel cute, too.
4. Don’t lose yourself in being a mom. Remember that yes,
you have changed, but you’re still you. You still have your own personality and
your own interests and style that you don’t need to lose when you become a mom.
If anything, I’ve noticed that it’s easy to lose myself in taking care of my
little one, and that just leaves me feeling confused and like less of a person.
I have to make a conscious effort some days to do things I love to do, like
style cute outfits and do my makeup and hair, in order to feel like myself.
5. Cute and comfortable. You might want to alter your style
a bit when you have a baby, in order to be comfortable running after a little
one. But this doesn’t mean you can’t be cute, too! Maybe switch out the
stilettos for some stylish sneakers, and retire the pencil skirts for a while
in favor of a relaxed swing dress. You will be surprised at how stylish you can
be while being casual and kid-friendly at the same time! Then come date night,
pull out your heels and hot little dress. It’s all about dressing for the
occasion and being comfortable in whatever situation you’re in!
