Style SOS: Post-maternity leave wardrobe ideas


I took some time off after my daughter was born, but now I’m ready to re-enter the workforce. How do I transition my wardrobe back?

Any kind of workforce re-entry can mean a wardrobe transition, especially if you’ve been spending most of your days in super casual new mama wear.

How big the transition is depends on part on the dress code at your new workplace. If you’re doing a full 180 from jeans ‘n’ T-shirts to office wear, try this capsule wardrobe of career clothes basics.

If you’re going back to a more casual workplace, you can build up your wardrobe gradually by mixing in a few more casual chic pieces with your existing clothes: a knit dress or skirt, a soft blazer or two, some fun necklaces or scarves.

Keep your favorite casual stuff on hand for weekend wear; over time you can weed out what doesn’t work for you any more. And congratulations on the new job!

Need extra strength help with your wardrobe overhaul? The Frantic But Fabulous personal style workshop is designed for you. It’s all the advice you need, in one convenient download.
