Being stylish and fashionable is probably the last thing on your mind until the day you have to go to some special event or make your first real outing and realize that just since you have a new baby you can still take care of yourself and like what you see.
Here are some quick and easy fashion tips for being a stylish new mom that won't take a lot of extra effort but can definitely help you feel a little more put together and stylish.
Wear What Fits Your Body the Way It Looks Now
It can be tempting to want to squeeze into your pre-pregnancy clothes right away, but truthfully you will feel a lot more comfortable as well as be able to flatter your body better if you wear the clothing that fits your body no matter what size it may say.
Wearing too small of clothing can actually make you look heavier than you are. When you invest in a few staple pieces to get you through until you are down to pre-pregnancy size you can actually flatter your body and make yourself look slimmer even if you are carrying a few extra pounds.
Don't invest a huge amount of money into new clothing, but check out some of your transition pieces from your first trimester as well as maybe a new pair of jeans that can get you through the first months until you comfortably fit back into your regular clothing.
Buy Stylish Baby Gear
Nowadays there are so many stylish diaper bags and other baby gear that you can choose from that you shouldn't be lugging around a bag that features Winnie the Pooh or some other awful pink color that says "Baby" on it.
Instead opt for a stylish diaper bag that looks like a purse instead. These bags can be great for adding some style to your outfit and best of all they carry all your baby gear as well as your gear that you may need for outings with your new baby.
There are also some stylish baby wraps and carriers that you can choose from that can actually add to your outfit and they are functional as well. If you are choosing any type of baby gear that you may be wearing or carrying with you, opt for a stylish, grown-up feel instead of something that speaks from the 90's.
Opt for a Quick Makeup Routine
You probably won't have as much time as you used to have when it comes to putting on makeup so you will want to abbreviate your makeup routine and go for a quick and easy face that also makes you look fresh.
Go for a tinted moisturizer that also has SPF to cut back on how many layers you may have to apply. This will help to give your face a fresh glow but won't look too heavy and won't take you having to apply sunscreen, foundation and powder.
If you want to hide those dark circles under your eyes, you can take a good quality concealer and simply just apply it under your eyes after you apply your tinted moisturizer.
A quick application of mascara as well as some lip gloss and you can be ready to walk out the door in about 5 minutes. If you do have some extra time, take a few minutes to apply a natural toned blush for some color on your face.
Use Accessories for a Quick Hairstyle
You may not have the time every morning to straighten or curl your hair so you will have to work with what you got. This means accessories like clips, headbands, and even ponytails can become your best friend for a quick but fashionable hairstyle.
A low ponytail with a side part may be a quick way to pull your hair back and get in under control and it looks cute as well. Or a cute little headband for those says your hair may not be lying the way you want it to. There are plenty of quick hairstyles that you can do in only a few minutes.
One thing you should do before baby comes is to get a fresh haircut that is easy and quick to style. Now is not the time to get a complicated cut that takes forever to style.
