Poochy mamas, rejoice! This season has a ton of adorable, pooch-hiding tops in store...and the best news? Not an empire-waist in sight!
Outfit 1 - Playing at the Park
I tried on the BB Dakota top. It's like a strange, but sophisticated hoodie that is crazy-comfortable and totally pooch-hiding. So comfy, in fact, it could easily double as loungewear with these. Nursing girls, this top easily pulls down for nursing access.
Outfit 2 - Going to See the T-Rex at the Science & Nature Museum....
This vest does hit at the widest part of a post-partum stomach. Yes. I get that. However, I found, more often than not, that the all-kinds-o-crazy-draping actually camouflages the pooch. The trick is that vest should hit you high enough to cover the pooch...so shorter gals beware. Nursing? Layer this vest over a nursing tee - love that it will help to hide the tell-tale nursing tee lines.
Outfit 3 - Playdate!
This sweater is perfect for disguising a post-partum pooch. And on? 60's mod fabulous. It looks a wee bit like my favorite pooch-hiding, black dolman sleeve sweater. Urban Outfitters carries this sweater, as well as Shopbop.
And the high-waisted denim is so post-partum friendly. Just zip that pooch right up.
ZIIIIIIP!
Outfit 4 - Date Night
Date nights were always the worst, post-partum. It's one thing to don an oversized sweater and call it good during the day, but at night? I always wanted something a littler sexier. This top, I think, is perfect. Wear it over a pretty (nursing) bra and let the straps peek out. The model is wearing this top awkwardly - the band should rest on your hips, allowing the top to "blouse" and hide the pooch.
(remember "blousing" your tops?)
Not bad, right? Hunh. Almost makes me want to get pregnant again...
xo,
