Obviously, anxiety is back at the house while I prepare for work. One of the biggest questions is, WHAT AM I GONNA WEAR?!?!? Mind you, I didn't exactly balloon up abnormally from being preggo (total of 34 lbs gained on the day I delivered him). I'm still about +8 or so lbs so I'm in that awkward zone where maternity wear is loose... but suddenly, I also have hips now, so none of my work pants fit anymore. That and with the pumping-at-work ordeal, I figured most of the dresses that I normally wear to work are just too cumbersome to deal with. Which leaves me with....nursing wear? I don't have much of that either. So unless I wanna stroll into clinic with my Lululemon shorts and nursing tank tops on, I gotta find myself new clothes.
Oh, did I mention that I have absolutely no fashion sense? I had the mom look down even before pregnancy (or as a fellow schoolmate once coined it the "geriatric chic" look). So even before I went shopping yesterday for clothes, I was pretty confused about what I was going to do.
Enter the Maxi skirt.
I can't believe I had not thought about getting more of these before?!?! The ones I bought are made of stretchy breathable jersey material which makes the waistbands extra generous. Maxi skirts also tend to come in S-M-L sizes so you don't exactly have to "worry" about how large you've gotten or what not (not that I have time to worry about that anyway!). Plus, they are meant to be floor-sweeping lengths which works for me professionally (read: no need to worry about not having time to shave my legs today).
I ended up buying these guys, basic colors and patterns to mix and match with tops that I got and also what I already have at home. Gotta love Nordy's.
Note: I opted to go for the maxi SKIRT and not maxi dresses to improve "access" concerns for pumping.
