Intro and question about clothes

Hello! I'm coming over from March moms...I spent most of my pregnancy there but LO had ideas of his own and decided to come 3 1/2 weeks early, in February! He's doing great and I've been keeping busy getting the hang of all of this and decided today that maybe I would put on a pair of pants that was something other than the two pairs of yoga pants I've been living in for the last month...big mistake. The jeans I bought early in my pg- one size up from normal - don't even come close to fitting (here I thought I was actually shrinking down nicely!).

 So, my question is this- what is a girl to wear during this awkward time? I weeded out most maternity clothes that are now ridiculous and huge - leaving me with a handful of long sleeved tees that I can wear plus one pair of maternity jeans that still works... and of course the yoga pants (which I try to limit to in-the-house so that my outings feel more exciting and 'dressed')...  I don't want to buy new clothes for my maternity leave...but I'm already tired of the one pair of jeans and three tops. I'm curious what everyone else is doing!

    I have 2 pairs of jeans, 3 tops, and a dress that fit and work well for nursing.  I figure I am at home so who cares?  I hope to be back in pp clothes by the time I go back to work so I am not buying anything right now..

    I bought one pair of new pants that fit me now, and I still wear two pairs of my maternity pants though one of them is pretty big. I also have three pairs of sweat pants for at home, and numerous pairs of pj's. As soon as I had my DS my pre-pregnancy shirts started fitting pretty well, so pants are the only problem--I just alternate between the three (and do laundry a little more frequently).

    To begin with, I wore maternity pants with the bella band if they were too big, and then I put them in the dryer and let them shrink a bit so they fit better. I bought one pair of jeans at 4 pp, though I kind of regretted it since they were really too big and fit awkwardly. But, at least they weren't elastic, lol. So I wore those too. 

     Now I have managed to fit in two pairs of worn out pre pg jeans so I try to avoid the maternity pants as much as I can, but I still have to wear them because I am not ready to buy new clothes.

    Still wearing the maternity jeans, yoga pants and a few tops (just the basic long sleeve T's and tanks). I refuse to buy pants this fat, but I did buy two nursing tops from a pea in a pod and 2 dresses (nursing) from figure 8 maternity to get me through church and going out in public til I take off more weight. But I know that my breasts won't get smaller (or likely won't) now that he is 9 weeks and the dresses just fit my boobs and drape down, so when I lose weight off the rest of my body they will still fit. But I waited until 8 weeks when I felt my breasts had regulated before I bought clothes though.
