First time mom

I had my son a little under a year and a half ago. I feel like my style never came back. I realized I’ve gained weight again. My clothes don’t fit. And today at work someone said I reminded them of their mom. I was going to like a chill high socks and beat up sneaker look buuuut I guess I missed the mark to be compared to probably a 50 year old woman. I’m just sad. I don’t feel or recognize me.

Ohh, you could have taken that the wrong way.... their mom might be just as "chilled" dressed as you were.. us new generation moms are dressing the way mom used to back in the day it's not a bad thing. The style is awesome and covered, and not half naked like most women now... you don't recognize yourself because you're not who you use to be your a mom to a baby boy, you're a caregiver, a protector, you have a baby, everything about you has changed, including your mind set it's not a bad thing. Don't let one comment ruin the way you feel about yourself! Stay positive always! 💕💕💕 sorry for the little rant lol

Aw!!! The first thing I thought is you probably look great but fell into a fashion funk. This happened to me in life generally with weight fluctuations. On instagram there’s so many post partum mom fashion accounts and tik tok too! Look them up it’s so inspiring because they’re all like target, Amazon, easy shopping. Looking good is Feeling good ! Don’t sell yourself short I’m sure you still got it !

As a person who feels the same as you- I don’t think I would’ve taken that comment like that. Maybe it’s naiive but maybe this person sees your new nurturing side and you feel cozy and like mom. I totally feel like I have no style and I’m wearing the same few clothes that still fit. What angers me more is I lost the pregnancy weight so fast but the lack of sleep and self care and breast feeding really caught up to me and I gained weight. It sucks but let’s also remember that this can be temporary. We can find ourselves in a more confident place again and I think knowing that brings me comfort. For now, find clothes for your new body that make you feel good. I know plenty of girls of all sizes who look hot and dress well despite if they’re big or small and I try to remember that so I’m comfortable in my new body but also keep myself in check so I don’t get too comfortable and aspire to take better care of myself. I think her comment just lead you to thinking about your new insecurities
