It all started when I first stumbled upon this on Pinterest during one of my many half asleep feedings of Drew one night:

And then I saw this feature that the ever so lovely Elsie Larson is doing on her blog.
I just had a baby. I’m somewhat back to my pre-pregnancy size, but not weight and there are places that are bigger/smaller then pre-Drew. I don’t really fit in my pregnancy clothes anymore — they fall off or swallow me. And most of my pre-pregnancy clothes just fit…funny – IE I’m in a size smaller then when I got pregnant (but the scale says I’m heavier… explain that one…) however, the size smaller doesn’t really fit .. right. I’m blaming it on the weird “baby bulge” that still have (grrr) My body is all … awkward. I absolutely HATE spending money on clothes right now as I’m working on losing all this extra weight that has uninvitedly taken up residence on my body in the past five years. So I have decided that I’m going to re-organize my clothes. I’m going to have X amount of pieces to make X amount of outfits. I’m going to get those pieces that fit right and make me feel good about myself (which, let’s be honest post baby moms… that takes a lot). This is going to crazy interesting as all the outfits I find have to be breastfeeding friendly (which generally means no dresses…pout) I’ll be sure to post more as I get my outfits built.
