What are you wearing these days (especially SAHMs)?

I feel so blah.

My wardrobe consists of jeans, tees, tanks, and cardigans (all machine washable, of course). The pants fit great but my stomach is still so squishy that none of the shirts I wear are particularly fitted. No jewelry because A loves to grab it. I haven't dyed my hair since before he was born and I have terrible under eye bags. I miss dressing up and making myself pretty for work (I don't miss work, though!)

Obviously, I know I need to dye my hair and invest in good under eye concealer and Spanx. What are you doing to feel good about yourself these days?

I finally got a pedicure and my eyebrows done on Sat for a wedding I feel so much better after that.  I finally feel like if I put make-up on it won't look silly.  I need to go clothes shopping still, I was in need of it before I got pg but then found no point once I found out I was pg.  Jeans, tees and tanks was my wardrobe anyways so there really isn't any change for me.  Sometimes just making sure I put on my eye cream every morning and night is all I need, other times I want to put a little make-up on.

I did also get my hair recently re-colored (for the summer) and my stylist gave me a fun cut, it has been so easy to just wash, towel dry and put a little product in it and have it look finished. My hair has never been that easy before, I don't know if it was the pregnancy that changed it or if the new cut is really just that fantastic.

I hear ya.  Some days I don't even get a shower until right before bed, so that means PJs all day.  When I do actually manage to get dressed, it's been jeans/shorts/yoga pants and mostly tshirts.  I hear you about the jiggles.  I lost my weight in 2-3 weeks but things are not looking fab.  I'm still trying to find time to do a real workout, right now I just have time for walks.  I'm not feeling comfortable enough to wear more fitted shirts so I'm feeling frumpy.

I really wish I had time to do makeup and hair, even if I'm still stuck in "house clothes."  But I just can't justify taking the extra time right now when LO is dealing with daytime colic and screams most of the time.  I don't think it's fair to let him fuss just for some eyeliner.  I hope it changes soon, I'd feel so much better about myself.

I feel the same. I used to get dressed up everyday. Now if I do put clothes on its stretchy pants and t-shirts. If we run to the store maybe jeans. I actually put a dress on for Easter and it felt great. I desperately need new clothes, I have lost the pregnancy weight but the flabby belly is a hard adjustment.

I try most days to put on a little makeup and fix my hair that way when I walk by the mirror I don't scare myself. My hair is in a ponytail a lot since I am trying to grow it out and we are in the awkward phase.

Risking sounding sappy is DH that makes me feel good about myself, I am blessed.

I am living in athletic shorts and t-shirts.  If I run out somewhere I will throw on a pair of jeans.  At home I am on the floor so much with LO that I like to be comfortable and I get spit up on a lot so I don't really wear my 'good stuff'.  If we go out to meet DH for lunch (about once a week) I will put on a cute skirt or dress, but that's about it as far as cute clothes go. 

ETA Usually when I drop DSs off at school in the morning I am wearing the same clothes as the day before.  How scrappy.

First week back to work and it sort of feels good to be wearing "clothes" again.  I lived in gym pants and tanks throughout the duration of my mat leave.  Comfort was key.  To feel good about myself, let's see....I started to tan (HORRIBLE for the skin and will stop once summer gets here), get highlights/cut regularly and, of course, there's a heck of a lot to be said for nice manicured toes!  All of those things combined really rocks my socks!

For the longest time I was living in nursing tanks and comfy pants. When I go out to playdates I usually wear jeans and a shirt...I try to wear a little make up when I go out, but I don't always make it
