Friday is finally here, and she brought wine! I love a good casual Friday because let's be honest we're all headed to happy hour at 5:01pm so why not look great in the process?
If you follow me on Instagram then you have seen my try on sessions where I have professed my love for Spanx leggings! Honestly though, they quickly became my favorite piece of clothing after childbirth. I wore them before too but I didn't truly appreciate all they can do until after I had Cashton.
I will level with you, losing the baby weight isn't always an easy road and tons of people struggle with it. Learning to love my body after pregnancy was a whole other story. I don't know that I will ever be back to my "cheer" body but I'm pretty comfortable in my skin now, but that wasn't always the case. After having a baby my body didn't even remotely feel "normal" for at least 7 months.
I went through about 6 months of strict dieting and exercise where NOTHING was happening. It was the most discouraging time. Here I am trying to balance work, workout, new baby and hormones and I felt like my body hated me! It wasn't until my hormones started to go back to normal that I saw a change in my body for the better, and that sucks because it just takes time for your body to adjust.
In the meantime, while I was fighting my inner demons, I came across these Spanx leggings. I immediately fell in love because they held everything where it should be and for the short time I was wearing them ... I felt like myself again. Thus they quickly became a staple in my closet and my secret weapon. Now 15 months later they are still a go-to in my wardrobe.
Baby or not I know you will LOVE them! They feel great on and they don't fall down like other leggings. Think back to the last time you wore a pair of faux leather leggings, you probably remember pulling them up all night. Spanx don't do that!
I paired my faux legging with a casual black and white striped top and black booties for a fun look that will take you straight from happy hour to a night out with the girls!
Happy Friday!
I love your fashion sense! Your honesty about postpartum struggles is so relatable, and it’s great to hear how you found something that helps you feel confident again,. Spanx leggings really do seem like a lifesaver for those in-between moments when your body is still adjusting. It’s inspiring to see someone embrace their journey and still find ways to feel stylish and comfortable.. Balancing work, workouts, a new baby, and self-care is no easy feat, so finding little things that give you confidence is everything., I wish I had discovered something like that sooner! Honestly, if only someone could take my online biology class for me, I’d have more time to enjoy moments like this.
