Sleeveless Trench: Theory (last year | love this suede version, on sale) | Denim: Express | Turtleneck: Vince | Shoes | Sunglassess: Sunday Somewhere| Cuff: Hermes | Bag: Saint Laurent (and majorly lusting after this one)
Hi! I apologize for the sporadic posting, but I’m slowly, and surely, getting back into the swing of things!
First things first, we survived our first week and a half with a newborn and surprisingly enough, I don’t feel crazy sleep deprived. I know things can change, but for now, we’re taking it day by day!
But even with the waking up in the middle of the night, the demanding breast-feeding schedule and everything else that comes along with having a tiny little baby, it’s all so worth it. I still plan on sharing my birth story in the next week or so, so stay tuned for that.
On another note, my first non-maternity outfit in months! If I’m being perfectly honest, I’m still rocking the jeans rubber band trick since most of my pre-pregnacy jeans don’t fit around my hips and stomach. I’m trying really hard to not buy any new pairs until I’m back to my regular size, so trying to roll with the punches and make my current wardrobe work. I know it’s going to come with its challenges, especially as we get into the warmer months, but I’m going to try not to be too hard on myself. Ah, the joys of being a woman.

The outfit looks quiet smart and trendy for a normal working day. It can be used for office as well as outings together.

Helena you are looking fantastic! Don’t be too harsh on yourself, your body will go back to normal faster than you think because you are breastfeeding and also because you were so fit and healthy prior to and during pregnancy. Just enjoy being a new mum because the first few months pass so quickly! Can’t wait to read your birth story X x x

Being a woman and mother is amazing, being able to give birth, breastfeeding is all like a miracle and a perfect nature design. Beauty and fashion comes in every shape and size. There must be water retained yet going back to a normal exercise routine will make you go back to your size or probably accepting your body changed.

You look so amazing. Do not be hard on yourself about any of this. Just enjoy that sweet boy. It will fly by faster than you can imagine. Happy Mothers Day!
