What to wear????

What are you wearing?
My maternity clothes are getting a bit big and frankly I am sick of wearing them and my regular clothes are still too small. So what to do? Anyone have suggestions on transitional clothes that don't cost a fortune? I don't want to go out and but a new wardrobe. But after having my 3rd baby I have NO idea how my stomach will ever be the samehttp://talk.sheknows.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I had to bite the bullet lat week and go buy new clothes. I'm 2 sizes bigger right now, and I'm not losing the weight since I'm nursing. The good news is that I found some things that fit nicely, and I'm feeling a bit better about myself! I did find a really great pair of Lucky jeans at Costco that fit well and were only $40.

I had to go out a buy a few things that are 1 size bigger than I wore prepregnancy because I was just not comfortable in my usual clothes. I'm hoping I go back to my previous size soon or I'll have to go shopping for more stuff. I got my new stuff at Target - not too expensive.

I was thinking Target too. I'm going there tomorrow, so we will see what I can find!

I bit the bullet and bought some fat clothes - thankfully I'm a SAHM and I can wear whatever, LOL, cuz all I've got now is 2 pairs of shorts, 3 shirts, and a pair of yoga pants! I need to go thru my closet... But thats just gonna depress me!

I bought a new pair of jeans..my old clothes fit but they don't look good. I don't have very many clothes that I can wear and feel comfy in right now..but I'm hoping that will motivate me to do something about it!

i've been living in sweats (thankfully I'm working from home)--but also have been wearing my maternity jeans even though they keep sliding down, etc...I was able to wear pre preg jeans yesterday but the zipper kept unzipping (a subtle hint that they don't really fit

....

I guess I need to buy a few items so I look decent.

I refuse to buy clothes right now. I can barely zip my non pregnant fat jeans. This part is so depressing for me. I gain so much freakin weight while pg. I can't start working out until after my 6 week check up. I have over 50 lbs to lose. I keep telling myself that this is the last time I will ever be fat and that I am proud of my body for carrying 3 healthy children. I can't even look in a mirror though, I gross myself out.

I can wear one pair of my pre-preg jeans, but forget about breathing. My secret belly jeans are way too big on me now, but my medium mat jeans fit okay (have to keep pulling them up though). I'm honestly living in pj's unless I have to go outside for something. I have a pair of capris type overalls that I can fit into. I really don't want to go and buy a bigger size, I really really don't. I'm terrified I'll never lose the weight that's left....and that's a HUGE deal for me. I never want to be like I was.

I can wear normal clothes but they are t-i-g-h-t on me.

They just don't look good yet. I am staying in stretchy excercise shorts and tank tops not only because that's all that fits, but it reminds me that I need to move my @ss!!!

Karli, you and I are in the EXACT same boat! I've got 50lbs to lose (I think PP weight loss has stopped...) and YES, I WILL lose this weight! It is the last time I will ever be fat! i'm just waiting for our family to settle in (almost, as soon as ILs get back from their vacation!) and DH and I will be hitting the gym (we just joined a couple weeks ago) and I WILL get this weight off!!!

We need to start a weigh in wednesday on the board or something... put some pressure on us to DO something about it!

Went to Target..was pretty depressing. Nothing looked good, but I ended up buying 2 capris and a couple of shirts.

I need to loose 50+ pds. But the sad thing is its all in my thighs and butt. I tried on jeans the other day at the mall and I cant get them up over all that. It almost cried. I told DH last night and he said he doesnt want me to loose the weight cause he wants me to keep my butt. I dont think so. I am dreading the beach this summer. I have been wearing my med matternity jeans still and refuse to buy any new jeans until I can fit into either my pp size or no more then one size bigger.

I just have to say that my DH has told me the same thing - he likes my butt the way it is now and doesn't want me to lose the weight. Too bad, buddy - this weight is coming off! A lot of my weight that I've kept on is in my thighs and butt too, I can't wait till I can actually try on pants without wanting to cry.
