Would you be willing to do a maternity clothes tag sale or giveaway or something? That would be great.
And I know how you feel, and will know better later I am sure. I have another on the way and anticipate a not so fashionable few months after that!

Have a coordinating block of fabric added to the bottom of the curtains. My friend did this with a pair of vintage curtains she found and they came out wonderful! Very chic looking.

Funny...I just thought something similar last night, too! I went downstairs and saw all my cute shoes that I haven't worn forever...(I think when I go out now I live in Uggs or Nike runners) and said to my hubbie that I haven't worn these shoes forever, since even when I was preggo I lived in flip-flops, too! Can sooo relate to this post. Love it! As I type this, I am currently wearing an old tank top with a rip in it, but it's stretchy so I can pull it down easily for nursing...and don't get me started about my "hairstyle"...oh aren't I pretty!

When I'm ready, I desperately need to make some fashion goals. I'm talking the days I go to work more so (I'm okay with looking like a mess at home, haha). I'm so tired my hair is almost always in a pony and my outfits are less-than-stellar. I'm hoping spring will help kickstart my return to cute clothes. You'll have to blog about your progress with this goal, maybe it'll inspire me! :) Haha.

2012-01-17T10:21:03.905-06:00

I am a mother to 3 awesome children and step mother to 3 more. I work 2 jobs. When I am at home I live in yoga pants and cute shirts! I have to shower to go to work but in the chance that I have a full day off a shower is the last thing on my mind. I am so glad there are other moms out there that are in the same boat. Thanks for posting this!

2012-01-17T10:15:10.748-06:00

You are so cute...sweats, messy hair and all! I've recently started "watching" 2 Broke Girls(haha, you know, as I do a million other things in the evenings after my kids go to bed) and you totally look like that girl-a prettier, skinnier version anyway!

A shower always makes me feel better...I once read a shower is worth 2 hrs of sleep and I am a believer. Now that my daughter is walking everywhere and into EVERYTHING I don't get that shower every morning like I'd lie to. That is, not unless I wake up before her which is not happening these days!

I definitely think buying yourself some new outfits will motivate you to wear them!

Girl, you could wear a burlap sack and still look great!

I have three girls (10, 8 &5) and juts within the last two years have I stepped up in the fashion dept. lol!!

2012-01-17T06:49:25.835-06:00

I totally know what you mean. Since becoming pregnant I hardly put any effort into my clothes. If I could stay in my pj's all day I would :)

2012-01-17T02:30:42.568-06:00

After our second child was born I knew I had set the bar too low when my husband came home from work one day and said in an excited voice, "You showered today!" That was my wake up moment. It does get easier.

2012-01-16T23:54:54.519-06:00

I know exactly how you feel! Being pregnant 4 times since my oldest, up and down hormones, moving and chasing a toddler I have lost all my style. Zip. Nada. Nothing. ;) I have to call my aunt or my mom these days to dress me. One day, one day I will be a hot momma (maybe!).

2012-01-16T23:18:51.460-06:00

Haha! So true. My Blake was born the day before your twins, and I was just telling my husband yesterday that I was pretty sure I've only worn about 5 outfits since then. Partly because I have not found breastfeeding to be particularly helpful in weight loss and still have a ways to go (BUMMER), and partly because I mostly just stay at home with him...and when I'm not playing with/feeding/rocking him, I'm frantically cleaning the house. Balance will come eventually, right?? :)

2012-01-16T22:16:36.655-06:00

Your post and all the comments on it make me feel so much better! I have 4 children and my youngest was born the day after your sweeties, so I am right there with you!! On an average day I feel successful if I brush my hair before I put it in a ponytail. Brent is right though, you are gorgeous!

GREAT POST! I was JUST getting a decent fashion sense when I found out we were expecting our fourth in August, so right now...I'm in the 'mean time' with my clothes. I've been searching for clothing tutorials online that would be conducive to nursing, but are still pretty. Check these out:

http://imakestuff4fun.blogspot.com/2011/05/ruffled-nursing-tank-or-not.html

At one point, the blog writer said she had them in her etsy shop but I didn't see any in there currently. I'll bet if you contact her should would get you set up though. If not, let me know. I'm gonna make myself some. A couple more is no big deal :)

I'm planning to make a few of these with the ruffle fabric and some lace fabric. These little tops will look so much better than the t-shirts I had to wear in the past!

Just thought i'd share :)

2012-01-16T22:00:05.242-06:00

I think yoga pants and a t shirt or hoodie is a really cute look! Also, I totally agree that it's nice to try and look presentable for our husbands when they get home from work (as much as possible). :)

2012-01-16T21:38:44.667-06:00

I force myself to change out of my jammies into sweats before I go get the baby up. It's still sweats, but it's something. Also, I just found the cutest workout clothes at JCPenney of all places. Yoga pants and cute hoodie tops that are super comfy and cute at the same time. I bought three sets!

2012-01-16T21:19:40.387-06:00

haha! Truly spoken from a mama! I have been feeling bad about staying in my pj's most days (I have a 4 month old) so my new goal is to only have one pj day a week where I don't get dressed. I totally agree-when your baby(ies) and husband are the only people who see you most days and you are up and down on and off the floor and nursing, it is hard to want to get dressed. I did ask for yoga pants for Christmas, because I completely agree-even that with a cute top is way different than pj's :)

2012-01-16T20:43:08.176-06:00

ugh....Don't make me feel guilty for still being in my PJs at 8:45 PM and if I wasn't going to take a shower I would probably wear the same thing to bed. :) Stop with the super Mom business. YOU HAVE TWINS! HA. No, seriously, I'm so happy for you. I'm glad you are getting to enjoy those sweet faces, in a sweatshirt or not. xoxoxo

2012-01-16T20:21:05.267-06:00

I rock the 'stay at home mom' look often. I try and get semi ready every morning so I don't feel like a bum. But really being comfy is best!

2012-01-16T20:05:08.295-06:00

I am the exact same way! I had been pregnant or nursing from February 2007-November 2010...so I have spent the last year trying to figure out what my fashion sense is :) It is amazing what a shower can do for ya!! I am trying to stay out of my husband's pj pants...I will make that my goal :) The least I can do is put on some that fit LOL

2012-01-16T19:59:25.877-06:00

You're not alone :) I spend most of my days in pj's and if we do go out (maybe once a week if that) it's an old pair of jeans and a North Face jacket. I used to dress so nicely when I was in the working world, but now I've kinda let myself go. I think it happens to a lot of moms, but I think it's time I stepped it up a little too :)

2012-01-16T19:50:49.733-06:00

Id love to take your old pregnancy clothes off your hands because Im almost 3 months along and have none! lol. Its such a short period of time when your pregnant, why bother buying so many but I do know how you feel. Going from a full time professional working gal to a stay at home mom is life changing especially in the clothes department.Walking by your mirror in the morning in sweats and an old t-shirt when you used to walk by in a suit can be stratling!! Lol, I know it is to me, I always have to look twice and say Oh geez is that really me? LOL

2012-01-16T19:29:06.433-06:00

It feels so good to know I'm not alone. My resolution is to look morebput together and try to feel cute more often!

I do always make it out of pajamas. Beyond that? Um...I'm in yoga pants, a sweatshirt, and I haven't showered. These seem like good resolutions. The kid always looks cute, shouldn't I?

It's so easy for me to go to class in sweats.....

2012-01-16T19:07:16.826-06:00

It's so easy for me to go to class in sweats...but I'm trying to do better too! Glad to know I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing!
