Style Tips for New Moms, From My Heart to Yours
This is a special post with style tips for all the dear new moms.
First of all, congratulations on bringing your special little one into this world. What an incredible thing you’ve done, and you are doing beautifully.
Whether you’re still adjusting to the changes in your body, your routine, or your sense of self, I hope these tips bring you a little lightness and a reminder: you deserve to feel good in what you wear.
1. Life is busy, and your child is your priority, but it won’t feel chaotic forever.
Start small if you can’t do much for yourself right now (and I know how that feels). My advice? Choose colorful loungewear and pajamas. Even on days when you don’t leave the house, what you wear still touches how you feel.
If you’ve done a color analysis and know your best tones, let them guide you. Wearing the right colors—even in your coziest clothes—can bring radiance to your face, even after a sleepless night. Color is powerful; let it support you. Here you can find some inspiration.
2. Don’t rush to fit into your old clothes.
You’ve become someone new—and that’s a beautiful thing.
Even if your weight is the same, your body has changed. It carried life, nourished, stretched, shifted, and adapted in ways that deserve respect, not pressure.
Sometimes the pieces from your “old version” won’t feel right anymore—and that’s okay. Be kind to the new you. Let go of the idea that you need to fit into anything. Clothes are meant to fit you, not the other way around.
3. Get a haircut!
Sometimes the quickest way to feel like yourself again is through something as simple as a fresh cut. A new haircut can feel like a reset—it shifts your energy, lifts your mood, and gives you that little confidence boost we all need sometimes.
It doesn’t have to be drastic. Even a little trim or soft face-framing layers can make a big difference. It’s not about changing who you are but honoring where you are now.
4. As time allows, permit yourself to explore.
It’s easy to get caught up trying to “go back” to who you were before, but what if you didn’t need to? What if this season is about discovering who you are now?
Try new things when you feel ready. A different silhouette, a new color, a pair of shoes that feel a little more like the woman you’re becoming. You don’t have to rush, but you do deserve to feel excited about getting dressed again.
And if you ever feel unsure, I’m here for you. Supporting women on this journey is the heart of what I do.
I hope this post brings you comfort, encouragement, and inspiration during this incredibly special moment in your life. You are not alone in this. You are doing more than enough. And you are so very worthy of feeling beautiful in your skin.
With all my love,
