Can anyone help with a little fashion advice?

a 2x nice fitted casual jackets, maybe a little denim one

2x sorts of nice casual shoes maybe 1x sandals, 1x flat ballet style shoes 1x pair of
sneakers- converse chucks for sneakers are really cute!especially white ones .

maybe 3x dressy singlet tops for under your jacket ( with a ruffle on front or nice pattern or nice neck line etc)

2x maxi skirts (which go really well with a fitted plain black or white singlet or t) teamed with sandals or ballet flats and a denim jacket

1x maxi dress ( instant outfit just add jacket,sandals or flats and maybe a braclet.

1x pair of casual shorts that fitted nicely and look tidy.the mid thigh office looking ones with a big fold over hem look great with plain singlets,ts and dressy tops just add a nice/casual jacket and any of your shoes for dressed up or down looks.

it works well as a mum to have a "uniform" which means a list of clothing like above were everything goes with everything so it doesn't matter what you manage to throw on in the morning because it will go together.and every now and then add something new.but when you do go shopping make sure you most of your old non quality stuff away so you dont have trouble finding what you need amongst everything

If jeans and t's are what you are comfortable in, I say go with it. My advice is focus on fit and value. I'm 28 and my husband and I have 4 kids. My go-to pieces are mid rise, straight leg, dark wash jeans, knit tops, flat sandals, and sneakers. If you can run after kids in heels, more power to you. Personally, I can't. Maxi and skirts dresses also work well because you can bend over in them without worry.

I think that wearing a t-shirt adn jeans is hot, but get some lingerie for your man. Make sure the girls are sleeping and let the fireworks fly!

Yoga pants are a great alternative to jeans. If you want something more dressy go for a printed top, add a belt to a shirt or accessorize with jewelry. Also for summer I always wear those long summer dresses, very comfy and practical when it comes to two babes.

Add some leopard! Or get some colored jeans...red, green, dark blue...If you're nervous about being bold with the leopard start by getting that pattern in some flats. Add some bright jewlery...they make awesome costume pieces that are very affordable. Try those bib necklaces. Accessories can update your look completely.

Try Pinterst. I use the clothing suggestions for ideas to add to my wardrobe and ideas on how to wear things I already have a different way.

Try some long skirts. Comfy, low maintenance, and versatile :)

The only advice I can give is wear what makes you happy, not what makes others happy. That's what I do. I can say I'm not into fashion really at all. I believe in cleanliness, modesty, and a healthy body (for me, I don't notice others bodies), but beyond that anything goes for me, I never notice what other people are wearing.

Since your still losing Wight just try to get used to jeans because after so money months of wearing lose clothing you get use to pj and lose clothing. ..so try to drop the habit first because even if you buy knew clothing you wouldn't fell comfortably in them they well end up setting on your closets. .also you need to think about your man you dont want to leave him behind just because you have kids so do dress up for him ..so he wont go out for milk ...lol...good luck

in addition ab kohl's I spent $25 got 8 items and saved OVER $200!!!

lol When I got pregnant I went through this phase where I threw almost ALL of my clothes out and said.. "that's not motherly....that's not motherly....nope that isn't either" and had almost nothing left....now I'm wishing I hadn't! But I understand. What I do is go to kohl's clearance section women's. They nice tops for cheap that you can wear with jeans and cute flats. Comfort and cuteness!! :)

Things that seem to be in right now are see through blouses (obviously you would wear them over a tank) sometimes tied in front, printed or solid colors, peplum tops, coloured jeans, neon colours seem to be coming back. There are others too, just go shopping and find things that you like and feel comfortable in. Just don't wear all the trends at the same time lol.

Dark ankle boots with heels.
Black tights and one piece dresses or skirts and a tank top w a cardigan or sweater.
Lipgloss. Smokey eye make up (Bobbi Brown).
Perfume - choose a yummy scent!
Work out as much as you can - check out Tiffany Rothe Work outs on youtube, you can buy 3-5lb dumb bells (inexpensive!) do them for at least 30 min or wheneveryou can. You have to work out to truly feel great and calm all day! Loving your body helps :)

Go to your local Salvation Army store. Take a look at some of the sweaters, fashion tops and maybe a purse or two (don't buy shoes - they never fit correctly and - ewww!). Pick bright colors that get you out of the winter doldrums and add color to your repertoire. The tops seldom go over around $5.00 and the sweaters are about the same price. They have jeans too, in every size and just about every style and color you can think of for around $6.00 a pair. Some of the clothes are brand new and never been worn before, others are previously owned but in good condition, and because they've been pre-owned and laundered, they are soft as butter and feel good - besides, they are NEW to you. Ross and TJ Maxx have good buys sometimes as does Berlington Coat Factory - for reasonable prices. I don't have to shop at Salvation Army, but I love vintage home decor so I stop in to see the wares occasionally (framed art, vintage dishes, etc) and I always take a peek at the clothes for a 1/2 hour or so to see if anything will 'fit' in my wardrobe. It's fun, economical and adds a 'new look' for your closet without breaking the bank.

Be yourself and be comfortable. I like to layer my tops. I get a solid color cami and loose fitting tops, a nice pair of comfortable jeans and low flats. I mix and match my tops. Can't go wrong with jeans.

I know it can be tough and with two little ones, comfort is key. Yes, jeans and a t-shirt never go out of style but the cut and fit can. Try a straight leg denim with a mid raise as it is flattering on everyone or if you are comfortable in it, then a straight let. Let your t shirt hang a bit looser, not too loose or it can read as sloppy and make it long enough that when you raise your arms, we do not see flesh. Right at your hip or slightly above is a great length for a tee shirt. Do not worry about high heels because an 8 month old will give you a run for your money. Invest in comfortable flats but try it in a fun color or print like leopard or a snake print, still neutral and goes with [almost] anything. This should keep it simple but if you decide to add one more thing, then add something you truly love. I wear a vintage pendant necklace made from old school CTA tokens (I'm a Chicago girl) from a local designer. It is simple but simple is always in style. Good luck and sorry for the detailed post (but I do this for a living!)

Change up the shirt. Go from a regular t-shirt to something bohemian. I am the same way as you. I had to start buying the pretty tops that flow.
