Well, even though I am now just one pound from my pre-pregnancy weight (hurray!), I can say that my clothes just don't fit me as they once did. My tummy needs some definite toning. And that's where looser clothes can be an absolute necessity!
I found this Monterey Top on sale for $39 and just had to scoop it up. I purchased it in an XS and I'd say it fits true to size -- if anything, I'd size down a bit from your normal size.
The sides each have an inverted pleat in them which gives it a swing top look. It's fitted through the bust and upper back and then gives just the perfect amount of flare below. Because it's tailored on the top half, you don't run that risk of looking like you are large all over. Know what I mean?
It's also a really nice and thick fabric, so it doesn't look cheap. I like a top with a good amount of weight to it.
These are available online and you may be able to find one at your local store. I love mine!

Love the top! So cute! And you look great, sweet girl:) Your fun Anthro find is making me want to shop bad!
ReplyDelete1 pound!? That's amazing! Love your Anthropology find!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of that top, but I'm so ample in the bosom department that fitted on top and looser on the bottom would be VERY uncomfortable for me :)
ReplyDeleteGood work with that pre-preg weight! I know you took such care to track your weight gain and make time for exercise throughout, so it's no surprise that you've so healthily worked your way back!
1-pound? HOLY SHIZNAT!
ReplyDeleteYou look incredible!! That is not fair that you are already back to your pre-pregnancy weight (basically). You look amazing. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Also, you look amazing! Congratulations for already being at your pre-pregnancy weight. That's incredible!
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!! the colors, the stripes, all of it! so fab. and you look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYou look so great and hooray for you on getting to your pre pregnancy weight so quickly!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to hear about good finds! :) Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLadies..It's really not that hard to lose the baby weight from your 1st pregnancy if you take care of yourself and don't gain a ton of weight..truly. If you are thin before your pregnancy, then breast feed, and eat well after the baby the weight melts off. I'm not sure why the media freaks out or women think it's a huge deal to drop the weight! You look awesome!!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I want to know your secret. :) It took me a whole nine months to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, and then a whole year to get underneath that pesky number. Amazing! And I love that top. It's already in my shopping cart. ;)
ReplyDeleteAdorable top. You always look glowing and fit!
ReplyDeleteI bought bedding for 130!!! never in my life did I think i would be able to afford anthro bedding.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of stopping in Anthro this afternoon to check out the sale! Love that top!
ReplyDeleteI love the Monterey top! It is adorable I bought two hoping one could fit my friend turns out it didn't so I have one for sale on ebay for $39 SIZE MEDIUM PETITE.
