Lexi, you're back! yay!
Yes!! I’m super glad to be back. Thanks for coming back too :)
Great to see you back - I've really missed your videos! About your hair: I think you'd totally rock a layered permed bob! You suited curls better than anything, and a shorter permed style is a low maintenance wash and wear option for easy daily styling now you have your baby to look after. I'd love to see you go curly again!
I just got a hair cut to form it into a nicer bob! You'll see it in the next video. I'm going to wait on a perm a bit because of the chemicals and still nursing my baby, but I will definitely return to it at some point!
I don’t think I felt like a human again until about 8 months post partum. I feel you on the body changes. I think it wasn’t until about a year and a half for me that my body leveled out. I gained weight in my feet and wasnt able to wear my old sandals until like 15 months pp. childbirth is crazy. Girl please don’t stress yourself about your weight. What matters is your healthy ❤ Best of luck on your fashion journey, motherhood, post partum struggles and everything in between.
That’s so crazy about your feet! This has definitely changed my body in the weirdest most unexpected ways, luckily my feet seem to be the least affected (I can’t even imagine having to buy all new shoes 😱) I’m trying to practice being kind to myself. It’s not something that we aren’t taught to do much as women, or at least hasn’t been something that I’ve learned to do before now.
welcome back!!
Welcome back, I think the hair looks really cute! Wouldn't have guessed it was grown out from a pixie, it looks intentional!
Thank you!! 😊
Hey youre back😀❤️ your videos on warm or cool are still my favourites. I was always told I’m warm due to my oliveness. After I finally did a professional analysis (with those two italian ladies at color analysis studio), I found out I’m winter cool 😂 I also struggle so much to find blush and lipstick for my pale cool but olive skin.
yeah it's such a struggle! I'm on a subreddit for olives called OliveMUA and I've gotten some nice recommendations from there! I think the next blush I want to try is by Lilybyred in the color Blurred Lavender. I've heard it's really nice for pale cool olives
@@LexiLadonna it is, right?! I’ve almost given up😅 Blurred Lavender sounds promising thou😺🩷
Welcome back to UA-cam! I gained weight around the rib cage for no reason (I've been sick since 2020 from an undiagnosed condition - supposeddly long Covid which got better with the help of vaccine injections and D/B12 vitamins supplements, but other health issues keep adding to the situation), but also on the legs. I would be a XS size on the top and S on the bottom; right now I'm a S on the top, S/M for the dresses and currently L for the skirts/pants thanks to lipedema 😕 which is not scientifically considered in the french healthcare system so no treatment except compression tighs and aquabiking 👎.
Last year I was sizing a M for the bottoms, I gained a size a year while eating very healthy due to IBS and despite being a very active walker. I don't know what to do and I share your issues!
My solutions:
- rent clothes while still overcoming the changes
- buy cheap too big items of clothes and make accomodations (own-made or friends who know how to sew well to minimize the cost)
- Exchanging clothes with friends in your current size
- Bying old favorites clothes in a superior size on secondhand platforms (some brands do have a plus size section): I always ask for measures on flat clothes and I compare the chest/waist/hips aeras + lenght of the bottom with the items I own to minimize the mistakes risk. This way I was able to wear old favorites tops/dresses again, thanks to Vinted!
- Later you can learn sewing to make your own clothes, when you'll have more time (and I'm sure your weight might stop increasing once the hormonal valse will come to an end).
Thank you, these are some really great ideas! I have been considering learning how to sew my own clothes but I definitely don’t have the time right now. Maybe when the baby is older! I would like to get better at tailoring my clothes to fit so that is definitely a possible option. The place where I have the most problems is the shoulders, though, and that is a very hard area to tailor. For special clothes I will buy them larger and bring them in to be tailored to fit, but it is not something I feel I have the time to do for my everyday pants and shirts. Hopefully you are right and this problem doesn’t persist once the hormones stabilize!
Welcome back!!! Are you going to perm your hair again now it's grown out from your pixie cut? You look way better with curly hair than straight IMO ❤
