Ask LaureNicole: Mother May I Monday

I just had a baby and my mid section is not at its best... YET! But I love fashion and definitely want to get my "diva" back!! Lauren Nicole, what do I do!!!



I going to be honest and a little blunt... So, get ready! You want your "diva" back... Well loose the tummy! Until then, here are a few tricks....

A girdle will be your best friend! Go! and find one perfect for you, not to worry they make them sexy too.. They won't look like grandma's oversize panties!
Be patient!

It took nine months for that belly to grow its going to take at least that long for it to recover.
So, save yourself the pain in trying to grab those jeans you were wearing before you got pregnant.

A tip I got from a very fashionable 6 time mother is don't be afraid to wear your maternity jeans for another month or two. I promise with the right top you'll never no the difference.
When picking tops, think about prints... It will not only hide your body's imperfections (if it fits well), but it can keep a baby entertained, hide spit-up, and make leaks look less noticeable.

Look for longer lengths that won't show your midriff when you're moving. With a new baby you'll be doing a lot of that and the last thing you want is to worry about adjusting your clothes.

Stay away from tops with a tie around the waist or it will enhance your belly. You want to avoid wearing jeans that are tight around your waist (black people get muffin tops too)!

Black is your friend, don't go over board! Black worn everyday can make you look insecure! Wear well fitting clothes not super loose!

As far as accessories wear large earrings or a necklace to take attention away from your midsection. Wear pumps, and heels to lengthen your body and help your posture.

Here's a good look; get your maternity jeans out, match it with a tunic, and a blazer, a structured blazer, the darts will give the illusion of a tapered waistline. Then pair it went an oversize necklace and earrings to add color. Once you've done that grab that oversize purse you have and use it for dual action nice pamper bag along with your essentials as well.

Hunny your DIVA is on its way back!!!
Keep working hard!
LaureNicole!
