Here are Iva Grbesic’s five favourite items for dressing after baby. What she didn’t realize was she had her own system of dressing after baby that became Iva’s mom uniform.

1. Jeans

Jeans are a staple in most of our wardrobes and become even more essential after baby. Jeans can be dressed up or down so having one good pair of jeans can take you to the park, coffee date with the friends or your first night out away from baby. Look for jeans that have a uniform wash, stretch and with a medium to high rise.

2. T-Shirts

A basic t-shirt is easy to wash and easy to wear. What makes them so great is that they come in different colors, cuts and styles. They can be dressed up or wonderfully casual. A few basic t-shirts are a great addition to any wardrobe when you are at home with the baby on the go. As with jeans add a bit of sparkle and glam with a statement necklace and pair with a blazer or your favorite sweater coat.

3. Toppers

This is where you can decide how you want to top off those jeans and a t-shirt. Do you want to add a blazer, cardigan, vest or jacket? Are you into the athleisure look or do you have a thing for blazers? Whatever your style is this is the perfect chance to show it off with your topper.

4. Accessories

Adding a finishing touch to any outfit is easy – a simple necklace, a colorful scarf or a fun brooch to finish it off.

5. Shoes

Option A is about cute flat shoes that can be worn when meeting up with friends for a nice lunch or looking chic on the weekend. Option 2 is the elevated sneaker and a great athleisure look that can also be paired with jeans, t-shirt and a great blazer. Both shoes will get lots of use in any woman’s closet.
