Work is business not too casual ? but I usually stil wear uggs and keep a change of shoes in my office.
On the weekends it's leggings and a long sweater or sweatpants and a hoodie. If I'm going out, I'll wear leggings with a nice too and uggs or converse. Super fancy. I cannot wear heels bc wide and flat feet.
Always wear a full face of makeup for work but usually will just out mousse and scrunch my hair so it's wavy. Don't have time to be blow drying it plus flat ironing it. Weekends I try to go makeup free. It's all or nothing in the makeup department for me.
Yeah more nuuurds !! I am ChemE-ish, technically Materials Science but I use chemistry on a daily basis. Tagging 3dimesdown and beersandweirs
I'll give you an honorary membership to the ChemE cool club anyways.
My co-op was in the process/analytical lab of a pharmaceutical company, but I didn't do much in the clean areas. Mostly just stayed bored out of my mind with the chemists in the analytical lab (sorry beersandweirs). And that was when I knew I needed to find a job at more traditional (i.e. outside, dirty, stinky) chemical plant...

On the weekends I'm a jeans and tee kind of girl but I do also wear a lot of dresses. My personal style in the spring/summer is i guess a bit bohemian mixed with casual. in the fall my daily uniform is usually boots, skinny jeans and a nice sweater I wear pretty minimal make up and pretty casual hair. My hair is usually tied up in a loose bun.
I have found that a good remedy for this is to buy a new wardrobe. Or even just a few pairs of pants and a couple tops, something that looks good and fits good. It took me forever to do this time around because I kept waiting for my body to return to "normal." Well, this time my new normal is not quite what it used to be. I bought a few things on Sunday and I feel so much better because things actually fit, even if they are not things I had before pregnancy.
I have bought some things because I had to in order to be able to look presentable and professional at work. But my problem is not just that my body has changed, but I'm carrying a lot of extra weight on top of it. I'm super frugal in general, so I hate the idea of buying a ton of clothes when I know that if I lost 10-15 lbs I could likely fit into the clothes I already own.
Yup pretty much all of this. I have a closet full of clothes that I cannot wear. It infuriates me. I am doing what I can with working out right now and i am trying to make good choices with food. I make more good than bad anyways and I'm just stuck. Stuck higher than I was when I started by about 10lbs. I really don't want to spend any money on clothes for myself because I have a ton of them. FFFC? I am envious, like green-eyed monster straight up jealous, of women who "bounce back" to basically normal after pregnancy.
Imagine you are going to a birthday party for someone else's kid. What would you be wearing? Hair, makeup? I'd wear skinny jeans or leggings and a cute flowy top. Shoes would either be tall boots or flats. I just got my hair cut short again and it's finally a flattering, super easy style so I'd either blow dry it straight or massage it into curliness. Makeup is not really my thing, but I'll wear a full face for nice events - foundation, blush, eye shadow and mascara. Probably wouldn't wear that to most birthday parties, though. If you are a working mom like me how does this compare to how you present yourself at work? Other situations? At work I wear khakis and a polo, so super boring. I used to wear cute business casual when I taught Kindergarten and I miss having a style at work. Our uniform is so boring. Are you doing anything to try to improve your Mommy style? Product recommendations? Feel free to talk about whatever. I think I'm going to take a few hundred dollars out of our tax return and buy some mommy staples, but DH doesn't know that yet. I'd love some more cute outfits for weekends that are BF friendly. I used to always wear dresses and obviously that just doesn't work well. I don't know how to dress myself anymore . My things fit ok, but just don't feel right. Most of my clothes are from my sister so I need to KonMari my closet and find what works for me.
madymoiselle, I also lust after Olivia Pope's wardrobe. SO jealous of someone who can pull of full length gloves without looking like an eighties prom queen.
