The Perfect Postpartum Shirt {+ a White Plum Giveaway!}

I first heard about White Plum through Grace I think, and I have loved them since the beginning. Hilary's story is amazing- anyone who goes from dancing with the stars to dancing with toddlers, stay-at-home mom style, and then starts a company to keep fellow moms looking cute without spending hundreds has my business. White Plum is offering some sweet little treats for you readers with a giveaway of a pair of their leggings AND a discount for 20% off entire purchase until 9/28 when you use the code TIMEFLIES. So hit up the rafflecopter at the end and head over to use the code!

Now let's talk about these shirts.

I have been on the lookout for some cute shirts that are friendly to the just-bore-a-baby midsection, because Jenny hit the nail on the head when she insisted that non-maternity clothes should be purchased after the baby is born, even if they are 5 sizes bigger than your pre-baby size, it is so worth it! Feeling pretty just helps everything, it just does. For me it has been essential to not be sporting my many maternity shirts with that side-rouching, which incidentally does nothing but create a pregnant belly for you if there isn't still one.

When I go in search for a good postpartum shirt, I try to stick with 3 strict criteria:
1) Must be NON-maternity
2) Must be nursing friendly
3) Must cause as few people as possible (preferably none) to ask me when I am due while I cradle my obvious newborn.

Ok, #3 hasn't actually happened to me yet, but this time around I have just been waiting for it. Baby #4 has left the old belly looking a whole lot more early 2nd trimester-ish than 8 weeks postpartum-ish. Needless to say when the wonderful ladies at White Plum sent over these spectacularly flowy+cute shirts, which are both great transitional pieces for the warm to cool fall days, and great transitional tops for the early postpartum days, I was thrilled. They certainly meet all my criteria, the colorblock one is especially forgiving in the midsection and the pink one has so much luscious fabric I could just use it as a nursing tent and drape it over Joseph, and I just might.

You like this senior picture side stance, don't you? I knew you would.

While they are great for postpartum days they are really wonderful shirts whether you've just had baby or have never had one and are never going to have one. So comfy, so cute, so great.

And don't forget!! White Plum is so generously offering one winner-of-a-reader a pair of their super cute leggings. I am a sucker for all things seasonal and festive, so if I were picking I'd go with these or these, but their selection is stellar so I recommend some extensive perusing. Either way, do up the rafflecopter now!
