The Perfect Post-Baby Skirt

August 30, 2013 By Cathy

, , , ,

Friends! I just found the perfect post-baby skirt! Last weekend, we went shopping at the new outlet mall in Chicago. And of course I wanted to check out J. Crew Factory. I saw this when crafting last week’s post and tucked it away for future use and/or purchase. It looked so cute on the model that I had to try it on in person.

And I loved it.

John was waiting outside the dressing room with Monica while I was trying on clothes. When I emerged from the dressing room and asked for his opinion, one of the first things out of his mouth was, “Is that an elastic waistband?” And I proudly answered, “Yes!” 

The stretchy waistband is beyond comfortable and perfect for the post-baby body when things are still a little soft and figuring themselves out. It’s also a great piece for those early in their pregnancy. And who am I kidding, wear this skirt and don’t feel guilty for having a second scoop of ice cream this weekend :)

Some might argue that a maxi skirt is more forgiving and serves the same purpose. But I’m loving the slightly structured shape of this skirt because it automatically makes me feel more put together. And the cobalt is so fun! You can dress this girl up or down. I plan on wearing it on my first day back to work.

This weekend, my new favorite  it only $40.50 (45% off!). So go get one!

Have a fantastic, long holiday weekend!

    I own the same skirt in the same color! And the first thing out of John’s mouth when I tried it on was, “I don’t know how to feel about that elastic waistband.” Haha. He thinks it makes it look like sweatpants or old people clothes. I think it’s high fashion :) Glad to be skirt buddies.

      Too funny! I think if you add a belt over the waistband, the elastic isn’t as obvious. And I’m glad we’re skirt and running shoe buddies :)

      And CR-V buddies! Seriously, this is starting to get a little out of control!

      And let’s not forget the obvious, we both married John’s!

    Cute outfit! I tried on a skirt like that at JCrew Factory and sadly it didn’t work for my body type. But I loved it so much. I was sad it didn’t work for me.

      Bummer! Though there are plenty of things that don’t work for my body.

      Thanks! Navy also sounds like an excellent choice.
