Wear whatever you feel confident and happy in!! If it were me, I'd wear sparkly heels and a cocktail dress to match, with a small clutch and matching earrings. If it's more casual, then a pretty, flowery top over jeans and peep-toe shoes. Accessorize as needed. :)

For a brewery type place, I would probably go with the dark wash jeans, some heels and a cute top with bracelets, necklace, bigger earrings, and some rings. Have fun!!

I am always sad that women do not like their bodies after they have a baby. Just think what a miracle you housed in there! At any rate, wear black. Always acceptable for trendy/modern/anything! That is unless you are going for the gothic look. I was talking a little more conservative. And enjoy your baby body, it celebrates a miracle!

I photographed a 20 year HS reunion. I saw everything from nice hip jeans and backless nice dressy tops to a dress and hills. It is definitely a dress to impress event.

I was originally thinking a cocktail dress as well, but then I think sometimes I feel super sexy is some awesome jeans, sassy heels and tight top! It depends obviously on how dressy the place is, but do what makes you feel good...flaunt it, Girl! :)

If it's at a brewery/restaurant I would say dark wash jeans, heels, some big jewelry like earrings. As for the top you can have some options If you feel like you have lost enough to wear a tight top then do that but if you feel you still have a tummy where a more loose fitting shirt. Luckily for you that is style right now...tight dark jeans with a baggy top or umpire waste. It will look more flattering on you if you still have some weight on you that you don't want. Good luck :)

Hi,

Congrats on your baby weightloss-- I would wear something like a nice flattering top in your favorite color with a solid black belt--wear the belt high so it accentuates the smallest part of your waist- with a slim cut black skirt. A few bangle bracelets and a simple necklace and your done~ As for heels,stick to 2-21/4 in heels. You will be comfortable yet very fashionable. Have a great time~

Congrats on your weight loss and more importantly, the birth of your baby! If you aren't sure what to wear or how to put it together, go to a nice boutique you love the clothes in and have them put together an outfit for you. Even if you can't afford all or any of the pieces, you can see what you like, what works, what an expert who helps people buy for these types of events suggests, and then put something similar together at a store in your price range, or even from you own closet. An experienced salesperson can suggest some great, flattering things you may not have considered. I went to Hot Mama and the person picked out items I never would have looked at, but she was right - they looked great. Most importantly, you should LOVE what you have on and feel really, really good in it. Good luck and have fun!

I think a nice new pair of dark wash boot cut jeans,(very trendy) sexy boots (always a great style choice and can be used with lots of things from skirts to jeans) and a flowy printed (prints are also great to hide things and flowy keeps it from clinging to you) top to hide any flaws. If weather is cooler wear a blazer with the outfit and that way you can wear it in and leave it on if you wish, or take it off if it gets too warm. Normally I would top it off with a great clutch and you are good to go, but since you are going to be mingling and moving around with a drink in your hand & eating while standing, go for a small purse with a strap. If your top is printed stay away from busy necklaces and go with cute dangling earrings instead.

I would probably go for some nice fitted black pants, you know the kind that have a little spandex in them so they fit your figure nicely. Then I would just do a great top, like an umpire waist. I get a ton of great things at Kohls, no matter what size I am. I love their stuff and their prices are great so you might want to go and check them out. Have a great time!
