What I Wore When I Got Dressed
{{Cardigan: Target (on sale!) // {{Shirt and Jeans: Motherhood // {{Scarf: World Market // {{Watch: Michael Kors (gift) // {{Bracelet: GroopDealz // {{Diaper Bag: Kate Spade (LOVE this one)
You guys! I got dressed! Okay, okay, I mean, I’m dressed every day. But you know what I mean. I wore something other than yoga pants and a nursing tank (like I mentioned yesterday)! And boy did it feel good.
I mean, the truth is, my tunic and jeans are technically maternity clothes. And by technically, they are. But as I, again, mentioned yesterday, maternity clothes are some of the only clothes that still fit me… even though these jeans are falling off of me (I have to pull them up every 4 seconds).
But the tunic? The tunic actually works. It’s not like, “super maternity” looking. It actually fits kinda well for being a maternity shirt. So, c’est la vie!
Now my scarf? Not maternity. I got it for my birthday using my birthday coupon to World Market. I’ve said it before how much I love the scarves at World Market. Heck, how much I love ALL THE THINGS at World Market. But seriously. I saw this scarf on the rack and immediately snagged it. It’s SO PRETTY!
You’ll also notice Lilly and a sweet little boy named Andrew (aka: “Doodle”) are in these photos. I met up with my friend Brooke at the mall yesterday… and Doodle was all about being in the photos. Lilly? She didn’t care as much. I figured my first outfit post post-partum should include my best accessory. 🙂 (No, I’m not referring to my daughter as my accessory… you know what I mean…)
Anyway, it was so good to just get out of the house and be OUT. Lilly only soiled one outfit, I only had to breastfeed twice in the Nordstrom Women’s Lounge, and I almost ran out of diapers, but hey, I’m still learning. It was certainly an adventure of an afternoon. And I look forward to many more adventures that I’m sure are to come…
So, what have YOU been up to so far this week?
Linked up with Shanna and The Pleated Poppy!

Looking good Molly. Remember not to be too hard on yourself. You are looking amazing and remember it took you 10 months to put the weight on. Love the tunic.

You can tell you’re a mommy when the most exciting accessory you see in a blog post is the stroller because you registered for the same one! I can’t wait to push around my little pumpkin in our Britax. You look fantastic, momma.

Hey cute girl! You look awesome. 🙂 Glad you ‘got dressed’ and felt better. No worries about this transitional time. You WILL eventually get back to normal-ness. And who cares anyway when you look as fabulous as you do?!

thank you so much, rebecca!
You look fabulous!
Also, I had no idea World Market has such great scarves. We’ve been there pretty much weekly since buying a house and I’ve never strayed too far from the furniture and decor area.
thank you so much, rachael! and yesssss world market is my fave place for scarves!
I would have never known they were maternity! You look amazing! I would keep that tunic in my regular style rotation, it would go perfect with leggings!
Lee
thank you so much, lee!! yess! i’m hoping to rock this tunic with leggings once fall hits!
Very cute and flattering Molly! I found that tunics/comfy dresses over tights or leggings were a great way to get “dressed up” post baby. 🙂
SO true!! comfy is key! thank you so much, mandy!
You look gorgeous! I LOVE that chain link bracelet!
thank you so much, liz!
check out poshmark and ebay for clothes that are normal, but a bigger size. i bought some jeans that way and it was a lfiesaver! plus, you can then resell them!
AWESOME idea, amber!!! doing that today!
I’m so glad you’re doing so well, and taking to motherhood so fabulously! What have I been up to…hmmm…working in the sweatshop, mentally preparing to get rid of my summer weight, and managing the usual chaos… 🙂
hahah love it. thank you so much, stephanie!
tehheeheh not only were you dressed but you looked adorable and you are such a natural at being a good mommy, can’t wait for many more adventures!

LOVEYOU!
You look wonderful Molly!! It does feel good to get dressed and put a little lip gloss on! My daughter is 12 and I work at home and I still have to force myself to get out of my yoga pants daily! You are just gorgeous and you have a contagious smile. Blessings! Susan
thank you so much, susan!! it felt SO good to get dressed. <3 <3 blessings to you!
You look great! After my C-section, I didn’t want to wear pants for like 3 months, lol. All I wore were yoga pants and tank tops. I was miserable. You’re looking so stylish! Maybe I need to check out World Market. I had no idea they had scarves! I’m a hoarder. The more the merrier 🙂
