Post birth Christmas outfit

Dogtooth pencil skirt - Next
Dark red sleeveless shirt - New Look
Mary Janes - Next

Ten weeks after giving birth to my gorgeous baby boy, Christmas Day came along and it was the perfect excuse to get out of my trackies and into something glam!

I opted for a flattering yet practical number.

Because I am still breastfeeding, this dark red sleeveless shirt from New Look was perfect for baby's easy access! The gold buttons gave it that little bit of extra sparkle, ideal for Christmas. Fastening the top button was a simple way to keep it on trend.




Underneath I wore a stretchy shoe string vest which I find easy to pull down for breastfeeds. New Look do great shoe string vests, really cheap and also come in longer lengths to cover any post birth wobbly bits.

I was amazed at how flattering my Next pencil skirt was so soon after I had my baby. It's stretchy material helped smooth out any bumps I still have from pregnancy and the dogtooth print really stood out against the bold dark red shirt, keeping the look funky yet classy. This timeless skirt was from Next's Autumn/Winter collection 2011 and is still one of my favourite wardrobe items.

Teamed with my favourite killer heels and black tights I was good to go. Well, for about two hours until I had to change due to baby sick incident....but it was a great two hours!
