I am currently almost 9 months post pregnancy I have 12.4 lbs left to lose BUT I still don't quite fit into my old pants/jeans. Still wearing my maturnity pants not the shirts though (the pants don't look like maturnity they are really nice) but i am getting really sick of them. To make matters worse I DONT know how to dress anymore I'm 32 this year and everything I have is so old some from my teenage years even except pants lol and I don't even want to wear them once I am small enough again I feel like they are not my style anymore but even when I do go shopping I am gonna feel so lost I don't even know what my style is anymore...I love jeans and so my style was always jeans and a t-shirt or jeans and sexy top or jeans and a dress shirt if I was going to work...and in the warmer months its jean capris/shorts or jean skirts with a tank top. And every once in awhile I would wear a summer dress. So now when I do go shopping its very frustrating getting out of that zone of what I just explained...I am mother/soon to be full time working mom and a wife and my wardrobe is in need of some major help, I look really young for my age so there is probably some flexibility in what I can wear vs what I should wear for my age. Can anyone help me? I still want to look sexy and classy (which I manage to pull off when I go to Christmas parties but can't do on a normal basis) but not like I am trying to wear something I can't pull off or doesn't look right on me...

Take a gal pal with you shopping, and a teenager, ( a neice maybe, pal's daughter ). And try on tons of differnt styles to see what fits your body type. And the teen will tell you what is not your age approprate. And the gal pal will tell you what looks like granny clothes on you. Remember to start with the basics in classic styles; skirt, pants, jacket, button up blouse. Then add that cute top, a funky sweater, belt or a new tank to mix and match for a pop of color. Any new item of clothing will inspire you to loose those last couple of lbs. Good luck and have fun.
