back to the office

Going back to the office after maternity leave was not as difficult as I had originally thought it might be.  While my commute is not ideal, I like my morning routine of getting dressed, greeting coworkers, and ordering a latte from the office Starbucks before settling into my cube to disburse genius legal advice 😉

What is challenging is finding clothes for this postpartum body that make me feel like a pulled-together, polished, and confident professional.  Here are some of the pieces that I am really loving right now-

lou dress (fern)  |  lou dress (garden)

The “lou dress” by Amour Vert is amazing.  I own both of these colors.  It is made of silk with an adjustable waist and it has pockets!  Just slip it on and add flats or heels and instant perfection.

onyx blouse  |  black skirt

The ‘onyx blouse’ is one of my ultimate faves right now because it makes me feel sexy and chic even though I’m still more than a few LBs over my comfort zone.  It’s got a super flattering yet comfy fit, and sassy peek-a-boo detailing.  Pair it with a base under tee for the office.

And a simple black knee length or midi skirt is an office wardrobe staple.  It is slimming and pairs well with pretty much any top from a flowy silk blouse to a chunky knit turtleneck.  Stick to a pencil or sheath silhouette for a sophisticated polished look.

base under tee (nude and black)

Love this base layer, and it’s only $19 with free shipping and no tax!?!  It’s a stretch one-size-fits all and it is perfect as a smoothing under garment and for making sheer blouses and peek-a-boo tops office-appropriate.

This piece was a bit of a splurge, but I justified it with a cost-per-use analysis.  It’s a super soft go-with-everything cashmere cardigan and I plan to wear pretty much daily.  It looks great with all of the outfits shown above, and I also wear it regularly with high-waisted jeans and my white premium v tee.  This cardigan is perfection.  If you do get it (you will LOVE it!), I recommend sizing down one size since it does run a bit big!

Ash’s obsessions

Yumi Kim maxi dress.    Floral chiffon maxi dress.  Sweet, sassy, breezy.

Vince loafers.  Comfy and sleek – I love these paired with jeans and a cozy card.

Slouch jeans.  Skinny jeans have been all the rage for a while now, but these high-waisted slouch jeans are my current fave.

Aj’s obsessions

Leather Sandal. Super cute sandals! Love that they are different from your typical sandal.

Embroidered Free People Dress. This dress does not look like much in the picture- Ill give ya that- but I tried it on a few weeks ago and it was so cute (yes, even super pregnant!) It comes in a bunch of different colors – they were all cute.

French Courtship Dress. It is back in stock! I bought this a few years ago for family pics and have worn it a ton since. It is so pretty on! It now comes in 7 different colors! I have the “tea” color.

Workout pick-me-up

Alright- the honest truth- this week, I am now 34weeks pregnant and I’m lacking motivation. Motivation to shower, get myself dressed, and definitely to work out. The fatigue has set back in, I’m not sleeping well, and let’s face it- around 4:30 every day it’s like I’m suddenly hauling around an incredibly heavy cinder block. Gravity wins by that point every day and my muscles and ligaments just seem to give up.

BUT, I’ve told myself, as of today, GET OVER IT! 6 more weeks and I’ve done so well up to this point maintaining a healthy-ish, fit-ish pregnancy so I can’t stop now! What have I said before about one of the ways to get your motivation back when you’ve lost it with working out/running?

New gear! 🙂

Here are some of my favorites right now that are sure to get you motivated if you’ve lost your UMPH like I have!
