Struggling to find clothes

Still have a dreadful c section belly and feeling rubbish in everything I try on. Any ideas on nice outfits that could work? I use to wear high waisted jeans and cropped tops (not mega crop, just showing tiny bit of skin). Am size 14 but well jiggly now. Feeling like no other mums look as rough as I do, I have no time to shop around and think about the way I look, look so dreadful and not at all like the old me. Getting me down!!

Just been to H&M but jeeeeez I feel so out of touch and old and flabby for their gear

I feel the same. I was a size 12-14 before and now a 16-18 but not a nice shape at all. Just feel fat and ugly and end up looking like Adam Sandler most days tbh x

I literally felt the same and found the BEST jeans today From pull and bear, they're mid rise straight jeans and they're tough fabric so hold my belly in, but where they're mid rise, they don't sit in the 'skinny' part of my waist and make my mum pouch look bigger, they actually sit on it and oddly they fit amazingly well!

I love next for jeans. And I've started buying tops in the next size up so more of baggy look... we do get to wear smart/casual for work. I also have some m&s pants that suck everything in and they work really well, but sit under my boob's so no cropped tops 😅 x

Haha Adam Sandler, made me lol. It’s bloody tough - am with you on the weird shape. Also duno who I think I am saying I’m size 14, just in next and the jeans barely pass my knees ffs. Used to love pull and bear! Will try but i fear the bulge is too large. Glad you found ones that work though!!!! There is hope
