WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — Postpartum life is filled with questions about everything from nap schedules to choosing the right car seat. However, a major challenge for many new moms is figuring out how to dress their changing bodies.
In the latest episode of the Weathering Parenthood podcast, host Lauren Olesky sits down with Jaime Cittadino, a fashion-focused mom who is helping women rediscover their sense of style after childbirth.
Jaime began her blogging journey as a creative outlet while working full-time. Friends often turned to her for fashion advice, and now she shares her insights with thousands of women, including new mothers.
Reflecting on her own postpartum experience, Jaime emphasizes the importance of purchasing clothes that fit well.
“I think the turning point for me was when I purchased items that actually fit my body,” Jaime shared during the podcast. “Caving in, giving myself grace, finding clothes that actually fit well.”
Jaime found that buying new clothes was not just about comfort but was also a significant confidence booster. “When things fit you well, you carry yourself differently, you stand a little taller,” she explained, noting how it helped her regain her confidence over time.
