You knew it was going to happen, and here we are: Pregnancy jacked your shit up. You’ve got a FUPA.
Nothing fits in your closet except for those dreaded maternity clothes you were so eager to get out of. Be brave mama, there’s hope. Here’s how to dress that post-pregnancy FUPA (PPF).
1. Take all your pants, shorts and skirts with standard waists and go ahead and put them in a box. Put that box under your bed, in the back of your closet, the basement, attic, storage space- somewhere far away. Somewhere where you will not be tempted to try them on for a while.
2. Do you like leggings? If not, reconsider your disdain. Leggings are your friend because they are one of the few elastic-waisted pant options that you can wear without looking like you’ve totally given up.
3. Cozy up to dresses. Dresses, specifically shift dresses and those with empire waists, can do wonders for covering up the PPF. Luckily, maxi dresses are in trend right now, get thyself to old navy and pick a couple up.
4. Choose baggy or empire waisted shirts. Bonus points for low-cut shirts. Distract attention away from y0ur FUPA towards those swollen boobies. Breezy, loose fitting button downs are good too.
5. Give yourself license to buy new clothes. If you don’t have the cash, put it on a credit card (look away Suze Orman!). You deserve it. Keep the steps above in mind and buy clothes you feel good in. Your body is amazing! You made a human! Celebrate it by adorning it in clothes that fit well and hug your curves in complimentary ways.
