How to Feel Less Frumpy After Your Baby Is Born

Worried about feeling frumpy after your baby is born? Do you frumpy with a new baby and your new baby weight? No worries, I have a few easy tricks to help you feel better and less frumpy!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Little extra cash
• Favorite online or local store

1. 
   Cute and slimming

   If you have extra weight you haven't worked off yet try this tip. When shopping for post-pregnancy clothes try shirts that have an empire waist or are flowy and not tight around your abdomen. These shirts are in style and very cute!

2. 
   Functional and pretty

   Buy yourself a cute diaper bag or even a large pretty purse that can double as a diaper bag. Winnie the Pooh diaper bags aren't for everyone so don't be afraid to buy something you actually enjoy looking at.

3. 
   Funky, cute or stylish

   Treat yourself and buy a pair of cute sunglasses. They're great for hiding those sleepy eyes and black circles. They also help make a classic ponytail look a little sportier.

4. 
   Style and Comfort

   Stuck wearing frumpy sneakers all the time? Don't really have a chance or the desire to where sexy high heels anymore? Try cute ballet flats. They're practical when going out with your baby or just hanging out at home.

5. 
   Comfortable and Cute

   Try to stay away from sweats as much as possible. Limit yourself to just wearing them around the house or not at all. Sweats scream frumpy when you go out everywhere in them. Try cute cargo pants or yoga pants paired with a cute top.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember moms can be cute, sexy and fun too!
• Don't let yourself go because you think everything has to be about your baby, you matter too.
• Do things that make you feel good
• Try incorporating baby into things you did before your pregnancy like taking a mommy and me yoga class
