Black Cardigan
A lightweight, long line cardigan hides love handles and fits in a diaper bag so it can also hide stains.

Comfy Sandals or Slip-Ons

Buy them for $45.59 at Amazon -
Denim Shirt to Pair With Loose Skirts
Matches everything but jeans (no double denim) and looks effortlessly stylish, just choose the right fit.

Jersey Dress in a Style that Flatters You
No maxis allowed. Just trust me, I learned the hard way.

Cute Yoga Outfit

Jeggings
Like jeans without the pinching on your c section scar and chaffing from running around the park in the sun.

Spanx
Like a security blanket (for me at least).

A Swing Top
It may not be the most flattering look on you, but for those times just need to throw on a T-shirt, a dolman sleeve or wide cut jersey top takes it up a notch by looking just stylish enough while disguising a midsection. Great over jeggings, shorts, or jeans – just not over a skirt.
Buy it for $28 at Ann Taylor. -
A Big Pair of Sunglasses
Take a note from celebrity airport paparazzi shots – they may have been on a 12 hour flight whereas you've been up attending to crying infants, but the lesson is the same: No mascara? No problem. Big glasses hide everything and glam it up a notch.
Buy it for $18.00 at Urban Outfitters.
