Hi Janelle! Substack sent me an email with recommended posts and this was one of them. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was you! I used to follow you on IG years ago (I’m not on it much anymore)! This post is truly inspirational and SO helpful. I’m pregnant with baby #4 and my body has changed so much. And for some reason, each pregnancy and postpartum it’s like I don’t know how to dress myself lol It’s so fun to see how you style everything — I especially love all the donni pants (need some) and tying a sweatshirt around the waist.

I also saw you lost your first baby and I felt so devastated to read your story. But then I immediately thought, “Wow, they’re so strong and brave” since I see you had another baby afterwards and now pregnant again! I can imagine there’s so many triggering things but you are truly inspirational and I will be praying for you daily! There is peace knowing we are participating in God’s will for us and He is never outdone in generosity!

That really means a lot, Brooke. So appreciate you acknowledging our first baby ❤️❤️.

I feel the same about not knowing how to dress myself. Every day was a struggle tbh! In the end, I stuck to a formula and wore the same thing pretty much everyday.

Sending lots of love and congrats on baby #4!

So good Janelle!!!! I find pregnancy style sooooooooo tough, mentally and physically. I have a switch that flips where I instantly feel ugly / frumpy the minute I discover I’m pregnant. Is this just me? I wish I could embrace a mermaid goddess aura and lean into it but I just never feel cute. Reading this post made me smile and I love the way you put looks together for the third trimester. You’re a stunning vision! Anyway, thank you for sharing. And yes in the trenches with you. ❤️❤️

This is exactly what I needed. I have been futilely on Pinterest looking for inspiration for sales this weekend and left with nothing. This list is EVERYTHING. Thank you!

As I said; you are a fashion icon for me. Where, oh where, were you when I was pregnant?! Truthfully I’m still madly inspired all these years postpartum. I am sending this straight to my friend who is pregnant because you are GOALS.

Thank you so much! Overalls really are hit or miss. I feel like white/ivory ones are easier to style, though!
