I like to pretend that in a former life I actually looked about 110% less awkward when taking totally not ridiculous outfit photos but this is not fantasy land and hello awkward. How do the dedicated fashion bloggers do it? Teach the commoners, please!

Anyway, all the awkward is totally worth it because as I dip my postpartum hips back into civilian clothing and slowly back away from the comfort and ease of of maternity + stretchy everything I have a new found love and appreciation for my favorite online boutique, White Plum. I didn't have to dig very deep to find flowy (but not too flowy) tunics, loads of stretchy waistbands along with tons of gorgeous dresses (I'm wearing this one to Phoebe's baptism this weekend - great length and very forgiving cut!).

White Plum sent me a discount code (GRACE20 for 20% off all orders) to give to you and I maybe pulled a bit of a shady move (I told them! Not terribly shady, I suppose) and used the code to order another pair of the scalloped shorts because I don't have to zip them up and I will never be too good for an elastic waistband. I love them to dress up or dress down and get out of my running short rut. They are having a massive sale right this moment and I'm about to justify many more tunic purchases in anticipation of the Florida move because I'm responsible like that, always.

White Plum is giving away a $50 gift card to THREE lucky ladies right here, right now. Three winners so your odds aren't terrible.

Take it away, Rafflecopter! And I wish YOU spades upon spades of luck.

  52. I love the high-waisted navy ruched skirt. Because I just had a baby about 4 weeks ago...and the high waist is the only thing that's starting to look normal...ish. Is there a way to search by "Elastic Waistband?" Because I'm thinking that definitely needs to start being a search function on any clothing website...

  69. patterned pants totally used to stress me out but they are making them look super cute! and now i want them on my body.

    after reading about your expanding hips that don't immediately go back after childbirth...i am further terrified at the width mine will be when i decide to procreate because at the age of 14 my mother already exclaimed "wow...you have some child-bearing hips" but i'm happy for your hips :)
