A style transition.

Post baby my body certainly is different to what it was. I officially weigh less than I did before I got pregnant with Frankie. My clothes are all massive and falling off me which appears to draw more attention to the fact that I am a bit more petite now.
I am sure some of the mums out there can relate, initially after having a baby the easiest form of fashion is flowy, comfy and breast feeding friendly. So this is what I stuck with for 7 months cos it was functional and easy but it had occurred to me just recently that maybe the reason I was getting so many comments on my weight was because I was still wearing these flowy (yet stylish) pieces.
Oh well time to go shopping :)
1st step - JEANS!!! I stopped in at Jeanswest Southland to get a few pairs and the delightful lady knew exactly what I needed which was a dream. I got 2 pairs a black slim leg and a blue skinny both of which fit like a glove and I instantly felt better.
2nd step - CHADSTONE!!! My friend Kirstin recently went to Zara and got some gorgeous pieces and cos I had serious FOMO I made her come back with me to get some new well fitting clothes! I certainly found some pieces - I will post some photos below.
Seriously do yourself a favour and go immediately #rundontwalk
Then there was Kookai...I found the dress of all dresses. One I am not even going to show Dean. I'm going to wait for a special date night and just walk out in it.
Shhhh it's a secret...

So you know what...I'm skinny...I always have been and now i'm just gonna own it! I want to still feel sexy and sleek in my clothes. Sure I'm a mum now so i'm not gonna be parading in crop tops and denim with my cheeks out but i'm gonna wear things that compliment my shape.
When I look at a woman and i'm gonna be honest here I never and i mean NEVER look at their weight and height. I look at how they carry themselves and more likely what they are wearing from inspo! It's just how my brain works. So in conclusion, before you make judgement on someone, stop and think before you speak. Let's stop shaming people on their size. It's not going break your day to make that comment, but it might break theirs.
