When I was a new mom, I suffered from PDD on top of my regular depression and anxiety. They don't tell you that depression and anxiety can take away your sense of self. So once I had my second child, I had no wardrobe out side of my work uniform, and my pjs. Sure I had a very select few shirts that I could wear when I wasn't working, but I ended up wearing my uniform pants (khaki pants) most days, weekends included.
I'm a plus size person, and walking into the store really added to the depression and anxiety. I was quickly overwhelmed with all the options, not even counting that finding my size was virtually impossible.
I found a way to dress myself again. It took a long time, and I'm still learning, but sharing what I've learned is something I love.
TIP 1:
Distressed jeans have no age limit.
Yeah you're no longer a teenager, or even an early 20-something. So what. Wear the jeans. They're for everyone. I'm 38, and I rock the darn things. I promise you its in style, and it'll help keep you cool in the summer. Yes I do wear my jeans well into the summer.
TIP 2:
Wear clothes that fit your body.
You will be tempted to wear clothes that are a bigger size then what you need. Don't.
You know what that actually does? It makes you look frumpy. It makes it look worse then it actually is (the outfit). There are plenty of styles that are geared towards hiding your tummy or other problem areas in the way they're tailored, and when worn correctly hide those areas for you.
TIP 3:
Don't be afraid of color and pattern.
Yes neutrals are easy to match, and black can make you look slimmer. But that shouldn't stop you from trying fun patterns, and colors. There's tons of it out there! From graphic tees, to floral and stripes, mix and match them with solids for a complete look!
