Ways to Ace Your Motherhood Look
This is a parenting post by Ellie Jo.
Motherhood is both rewarding and challenging. It’s also a time when you might feel like your outfits are limited to the clothes worn with baby carriers or breastfeeding tops, but that doesn’t have to be the case.
There are plenty of ways for you to stay stylish while still being practical about your ever-changing shape. Don’t let the baby bump stop you from dressing up. You can wear a dress with leggings underneath for an easy way to show off your curves without sacrificing comfort or warmth too much.
Make sure that both layers are of fabrics that are soft against your skin, so it’s comfortable around the belly, even if they’re not precisely the same material. Here are more tips on how to ace your motherhood look.
Take Care of Your Skin and Face
Taking care of skin and face is not only important for looking good, but it also affects your overall health. Good skin means that you are healthy inside out. While taking care of the skin, make sure you don’t overdo things to create more problems than solving them.
Take a step-wise approach to take proper care of your skin. Apply good sunscreen before you step out. Sun damages our skin and makes it look old, wrinkly, tanned or spotty. Avoid this by applying a face lotion before you step out in the sun. Drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated and glowing all day long. Additionally, it will help to consider getting facials from a company such as Perfect Medical to help keep up with a youthful look.
Understand That Your Body is Still Recovering
Look for garments that fit you, don’t be fooled into thinking you must buy maternity clothes because of your bump. Instead, look at the size chart on most clothing brands and find something comfortable to wear for now and as your bump grows.
During the first few months, you may find that you are tired and don’t want to dress up, but try not to let this go on for too long because it can make you feel worse about yourself. Instead, try wearing loose clothing like leggings with a baggy shirt for comfort without compromising style.
Accessorize Accordingly
A stylist will tell you that accessorizing is an essential part of your look. So, when it comes to motherhood, do not leave any stone unturned. It’s time for you to put on all those accessories and make yourself feel like a million bucks. Your baby deserves nothing less than this chic mama in her glory.
Times have changed, and so has fashion. You might think that you can’t match up to all those stylish celebrities, but no one said that you must do so now, did they? The trick is to accessorise your look and pair them with things like scarves or shawls, which are extremely easy to carry around. Just a few touches of them will make you look good and feel better.
The motherhood look is not an easy one to master. It requires a lot of trial and error; some mothers will be able to pull it off on the first try, while others may require more time and effort before they get it right. The most important thing to remember is that you do not have to feel overwhelmed. If you are still struggling with trying out new looks, keep it simple and go for the basics.
