I feel nervous even writing ‘post pandemic’ but I’m going with optimism here! Maybe it’s the fact my body shape has changed significantly since having my second baby, or I think it’s probably more that lockdown has made us realise that comfy, relaxed clothing just is an easier option, I’m certainly looking at different clothes than I would have a few years ago.
A bit more timeless, way more elasticated and looser, more comfortable silhouettes. Not that I want to hide my body away by any means, but I’ve found that when I adapt my wardrobe to fit/suit my changing body, as opposed to changing my body to fit my old clothes, I am much happier and my confidence shines through.
I for one need to be slowly weaned back into dressing for city life after wearing tracksuits and slippers for almost 18 months and, thankfully, brands seems to understand this new way of dressing:
Thank you so much for this post! I’m also optimistic and trying to navigate the anxiety of reentry with a softer body and a different outlook, plus I’m turning 47 this summer, and well, that’s a thing. I’ve decided to treat myself to a few things that will make me feel confident in this years body. I love that there are midi options with sleeves.
Oh brilliant, I think it’s just as important to acknowledge and appreciate the body you have now – I have felt so much more confident in a few new different silhouettes x
All the outfits look so great. Looks really stylish and comfortable. But I specifically love the dresses! Thank you for sharing these and for the recommendations 🙂
For me, the standout item is THOSE RED SHOES!! Simply gorgeous , I have a weakness for velvet and I hope they are velvet? Enjoying the newsletter thus far. Tricia M.xx
They’re actually satin! But would be so gorgeous in red velvet, you’re right! x
