I work from home so I keep it pretty casual. I did a purge last week and brought a ton of things to the consignment shop. I get 50% of the sales, she sent me the inventory and sales prices so if everything goes I would get $1100. Everything won't sell but half that would be nice!
I need new nicer sandals and casual flip flops as well. I don't know what I want exactly, I will prob get another pair of Tory Burch Millers in the end.
I did not get a push gift, which was fine, or a Valentine's Day gift (a little less fine since I didn't even get flowers or expensive wine). DH got a pass since Z came early and threw everything off. BUT, he better deliver for Mother's Day. I spelled out for him exactly the type of piece of jewelry I wanted, but the jeweler who did my wedding rings closed up shop so DH lost his connection. It will be expensive (involves some small diamonds) so I won't blame him if I don't get it. But I'm hoping...
For Mother's Day I should be getting my two stacking mothers rings. I have 1 need my twins now to be done. Unsure if I want same stack or do a different coordinating set.
I've gotten some luluroe leggings and tunics for casual wear since the leggings hide the pooch and the tops are stretching for BF.
I love the loquet!! I love the idea. WAY out of price range but I love it.
As for Mother's Day, I really want to get a mother's ring with the kids' birthstones in it. There are some decently priced ones on etsy. I have to decide if I want to hint at the idea of it to DH or just buy one on my own lol. Also hopefully my fingers will stop being the little swollen sausages they are; I haven't been able to put on my rings yet post partum. I would like to wear them again :[

I get to go back into my hospital provided blue scrubs. So no work clothes here. I will buy some spring and summer stuff, I just want to see if my body changes a little more first.
I love the express editor pants. I have three of them but I'll need to go up in size. I mostly wear jeans to work so I'm thinking I should get some ON high rise ones!

I've been asking for a mother's ring from Etsy (I even have the specific one linked on my Amazon wishlist) since DS was born. I have yet to get it from anyone. I've come to the conclusion I'm just going to have to buy it for myself sometime.

I'm not gonna tag because I'm lazy, but TOMS are the stuff! I got a pair for Christmas - gray tweed with a hint of sparkle in the thread - and I have an older pair that's a heather gray. I live in then all year round. I'm loving those gold ones!
Khols is great for wide leg dress pants. I have a pair in a dark navy and they're fabulous. I think they cost me $40 and I had them hemmed.
I really need shirts for work. Target had some cute ones when I was there yesterday, but I'm not ready to spend the dough.
Basically I need an entire refresh, and I have gift cards to Target and Macy's, but don't wanna spend em yet...

My major splurge was a new pair of jeans. I fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans, but they are a lower rise and the muffin top situation is real. I bought a pair of Paige jeans that have a higher rise and I'm hoping they make me feel less self conscious of the flub.
I also succumbed to the FB ads and bought a pair of the Allbirds wool sneakers. It's true, they are *so* comfy!
Lastly, I needed a spring casual sneaker so I bought a pair of Sperry's. My usual size was too snug, so I'm exchanging for a size up (damn you pregnancy).
Not clothing, but I treated myself to a large Madewell tote to carry my Spectra pump in. It's bigger than the medela PISA that I just chucked in my work laptop backpack, so that's how I'm justifying it...
I'm also on the hunt for new work pants, so I'm going to try out a few from different stores and I'll report back!
I've been wearing Hue leggings and jeggings since having the baby. This past week I lost two pounds after plateauing for 3 weeks, but I still have 15 pounds to go. It doesn't make sense for me to buy structured pants yet.
I'll need to buy some dress pants in May when I go back to work. Does anyone have recommendations for stretchy dress pants? I carry all my weight in my lower half so even 5 pounds difference affects the fit.
I'll need new tops to accommodate my bigger chest. I bought some kinda ugly nursing tops from Motherhood that have been essential this past month, but I want something pretty. I'll be stopping by Target and TJ Maxx at some point.
And I need to get rid of more than half of my shoes since I've gone up a half size. That's going to be hard
This thread inspired me to go shopping today and ugh I am so disgusted with myself. I'm down to my pre-pregnancy weight but all of my weight has settled into my stomach area and it's awful...absolutely awful...

This was me yesterday. It's okay - We're in it together. Huge hugs, friend.

I can relate. I gained about 20-25 lbs during my pregnancy, but it was ALL belly. (Ok, and maybe 1-2 lbs of third chin fat.) Now that she's here, all of my weight has settled into my belly.

All my weight is in my ass and thighs. All of it. I'm pretty annoyed I really miss my jeans. On that note maybe I should purge my jeans collection and get some new ones.
I also really need some new shoes. All the TOMS and Vans are making me jealous. Those are my favorites.

I returned a bunch of stuff to Nordstrom rack today and of course picked up some new stuff while I was there. They had cute philosophy pencil skirts for only $17 that will be great for work so I bought one is a light gray and one in blush. I had to buy the bigger size, but I figure at that price even if they're too big in a few months it was worth it. For a few shirts, including a cute lace one, and one some shaping undergarments.
Got this off a groupon this morning. Figured with how ginormous my boobs are none of my coats would fit.
Now to find my damn dress pants to see if they still fit (guessing they will since jeans did). If I can't find I'll buy 1 pair and keep looking for another week before I totally replace.
