Without a shaper cami, I still look 4-ish months pregnant. Not bad! I do look pretty good for a pregnant gal. Too bad I'm not actually pregnant.
So I'm at that point, post-partum, where I still have a poochy stomach, albeit a much reduced one...and the big question is: Can I bag the flowy tops?
I. Am. Just. SO....
I've been a long-time fan of the Stella McCartney for Adidas line. It's gorgeous, and so many of her pieces are stylish enough to just wear. Which, as a new mom, is much appreciated. I often felt that getting out of the house was hard enough...once we were out (even just for a power-walk around the park)...I wanted to...
Readers, this is my dear friend Amber. Some of you may remember her from this article where she chastised me for my original position on over-the-knee boots.
"Let your moms be hot! Tell your moms they have a RIGHT to be hot!"
Yes. And now Amber is a hot-mom herself, of the crazy-adorable baby Harlow. And when we met up...
Ummmm...yeah. We love plaid. For the last month, we've done a weekly feature on the various ways to rock a plaid shirt. If you missed it, check out these articles:

Do you know your personal style? The style that defines and expresses who you are? The style that you are most comfortable in? The style that you think is cool?
It's funny how early our concept of cool starts. My sister bought Raines some sweatbands when he was two...and he insisted on wearing them everywhere, even to bed. This phase lasted for...
Reader Jacci sent us a query, asking about our Mom Street Style articles...which we haven't done, in...hunh. A year? To be honest, I had stopped posting them for a couple of reasons - the main one being that I was too pregnant and uncomfortable to be walking around...and the other reason being that my photography skills are...
My heart skipped a beat today on a Target excursion for toilet bowl cleaner and graham crackers. I'm a long time fan of the Splendid brand for kids (we have a striped long sleeve waffle tee I've forced both boys to wear until it reached crop top proportions, for example), but I only buy Splendid on deep discount because spending $50-$80 on single items of clothing for my rapidly growing kids makes me want to either a.) vomit or b.) have another boy to make my outrageous clothing purchases more cost effective.
For moms without a post-partum pooch (like M above, lucky girl)...plaid shirts get a sophisticated twist when tucked.
M tucked her cheap-n-easy Target plaid shirt into a pair of higher-waisted flare jeans, added a cool belt, necklace and heels.
I'm loving the choice of a girly necklace/belt with the plaid. And who doesn't love red shoes?
Now, I know we tend...
At the end of my pregnancy, when I was barely squeezing into one pair of pants and rotating between two shirts, I had these fantasies of being able to dive back into my pre-pregnancy wardrobe soon after the baby was born. I was clearly delusional, not taking into account lactating breasts, my new and stubborn paunch, hopefully-not-permanently...
