Thrifty Thursdays | Dearest Lou

Thrifty Thursdays

I had my 6 week checkup yesterday and everything went well. I'm 16 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight and am in no rush to lose it. If I do an extreme diet or exercise plan I will most likely gain the weight back + some. My goal right now is to lose a pound a week. I will hopefully be healthy and back on track by the beginning of May.

I'm really loving these leggings I bought at Forever 21. They are a recent buy but sold out within days online so if you want to buy them I suggest looking at your nearest store. My sister also bought me this cozy oversized sweater for Christmas and I have been wearing it at least once a week since then! It goes with nearly everything in my closet and it's super easy to nurse in.
Outfit details: Tank top + Leggings, F21// Sweater, (gift from sister)// Necklace, (gift from Daryl)// Bracelet, Rue 21// Diaper Bag, Coach (gift from mother-in-law)// Shoes, thrifted

Also, I don't know whether or not I will be able to do the Thrifty Thursdays link up. I've been having some problems with the link manager and the people over at inlinkz.com haven't been able to help me out yet. If the problem gets resolved I will be posting my thriftfanatic of the week and the link up in a separate post later tonight or next week!

  2. You look great so no need to be in a rush like you said. My dr told me it takes nine months to make a baby and nine months to get your body back. A year after I had my son is when I REALLY felt like me again. Plus crash diets aren't good when you're breast feeding. Your outfit is super cute and hooray for a good check up!!

  14. Love those leggings, the print is so cute and eye catching. I love simple outfits that have enough interesting details to looks great. AND, you have such a great attitude towards losing weight! You look so good and it truly does come off in time. It took me 8-9 months to get back to myself after my first (then I got preggo again...)
