After stumbling upon your post about Personal Style in Motherhood - I went down a rabbit hole and I feel SEEN. After reading (and loving) about twelve posts, I had to leave a comment.
The way you write about style articulates almost exactly how my brain works when I think about my closet and getting dressed … it’s uncanny. I have a 9 month old and a 3 year old, and not to be dramatic or anything, but reading your substack feels therapeutic and calming, and gives me this sense that I will be ok if I can still get excited about my outfit and getting dressed every day 😅Thank you for being you ❤️
My postpartum uniform is Les Lunes jumpsuits with a wrap style top (great for nursing!) or an H&M ribbed maxi, and long robe coat sweaters from Neiman Marcus cashmere. When I can’t deal with the tyranny of pants, I always get compliments on those jumpsuits.
Haha, the tyranny of pants is real!!! I go my whole pregnancy missing pants and them am aghast that they still don't feel great for awhile postpartum - very unfair. I wasn't familiar with Les Lunes but their jumpsuits look great - I agree that a wrap style top is great for nursing! With dresses, I always struggle . I love the ease of a dress, but many of them are hard to nurse/pump in. I can remember with my first, I was pumping in a mother's room at a client's office and had to get basically fully naked to pump, and was so paranoid someone would walk in on me. Not sure I've fully recovered from that experience :).
