Being on maternity leave is a roller coaster of emotions to say the least, with little or no time to focus on anything but baby. And you never feel like anything is completely done – ever!
The thought of having to revisit clothes that have not been worn in over a year and a half is daunting and the idea of having to buy new clothes or co ordinate outfits to head back to work, is just too overwhelming.
So instead we go back to work and start each day feeling anxious about what to put on and fall into the “cycle of the same” routine by wearing what is easy and not feeling good about ourselves.
Revisiting our work attire should not riddle us with guilt about how our body has changed, nor should it stress us out because we do not have time to spend in the closet organizing looks and decluttering what we no longer need.
