Day 7: The Post Pregnancy Slump

I can't speak for all women but around the time both of my daughters hit 3 months old, I felt like I needed to change up my look.  When Ellis was three months old I cut all of my hair off (8 inches or so) and had a stylish inverted bob, which I loved, for about 1 day.  Thus starting the arduous process of growing out my hair.  I vowed to never make the same mistake again!

Now, here I am three months post pardom and I have been feeling the need again.  With a second birth has come wisdom; wisdom to not chop all of your hair off in a desperation for change and improved self confidence.  So, instead of cutting off my hair (which is still growing out), I colored it.  I am really digging my new ombre highlights, but I was so nervous that they were going to look bad that I underestimated how many we should have put it in.  Needless to say, I will go back in a few weeks and get some more because I am in love with them!!  Hopefully this new found love lasts longer than 1 day!


I also jumped for joy this morning when I was able to put on a nice trapeze top that I wore before my girls were born.  It was quite a squeeze in the chest department but I made it happen!  I am also wearing some skinny jeans (I really need to try out different styles of pants) that are maternity, but does maternity really count when they were designed by Heidi Klum?  I say no!  I topped it off with a nice cardigan from the Loft purchased who knows when and some grey suede ballet flats from JCrew.
