MaryK posted a WIW recently with her Nine West "magic dress" from a couple seasons ago (so called because it magically looks good on anyone who wears it) and then posted that there was one available on eBay...it was in my size, so I snapped it up! It's a different print than the one that most people have on YLF. It just arrived and it happens to be a great dress for postpartum wear--easy access for nursing (though I have to wear a tank, otherwise it's way too cleavalicious!) and loose at the waist which is good for skimming over the postpartum tummy. I didn't post a K/R since it was an eBay purchase, but what do you think? I feel like it looked a little slimmer IRL than in these pics, but I'm happy with it anyways. Some of the moms at school were commenting on how put together I looked (which is funny because the dress and ballet flats are so easy to put on and wear!) Thanks MaryK for the tip! Now I'm a card-carrying member of the Magic Dress club!

I feel people give me also a lot of credit when wearing a dress, even for me, it's easier than fiddling with a top and skirt/pants proportions and colors, and textures, the designer did all that for me , and it looks cute! -
The dress is truly magical! And I love the color and pattern on you.

It is funny with dresses -- like anya mentioned, people are impressed but it's so simple! -
Oooh absolutely fantastic, Natalie!! The style and colours are amazing on you. Really gorgeous!! Love how you've accessorized too. And I agree 200% with the other moms: you do look polished, stylish and very put together, wow. A Mum on the go style icon if you ask me.

I think it's the accessories that do it for the other moms. The colors seem to go together so effortlessly.

The dress looks fantastic! It is amazing, isn't it, how a dress reads "put together" even when it is the simplest thing? What a great win for figure flattery and nursing convenience. And statement piece? Well, he's priceless and stunningly gorgeous, isn't he? -
First of all, your statement piece s absolutely adorable! Look at those cheeks!

You look stunning in that dress. I love the print and how you echoed the color of it in your accessories. -

That dress is pure perfection on you Natalie! I love how you hold your baby like an accessory, too. So cute! Okay, so you didn't just throw on a dress and flats. You have a gorgeous necklace and bag as well. And where did your tummy go? Must be magic!The only chub I see is in your adorable babe's cheeks.

Now to dress... GP you need to start a tutorial on how you managed to put up a wardrobe that's magical. Nothing and I repeat nothing in their seems to be a maybe on you. They are all rocking -
The dress may have been the only one available, but it looks so you! You already had the perfect turquoise bag for it and everything.

Hehe, cleavalicious... are you sure you don't want to snap that up as your new YLF blog name before someone else does? ;) -
Wow! Incredible outfit, the necklace and the bag take it to the moon!

Even your camera matches! Of course they comment you look put together because they are asking themselves how does she do it, how does she do it? I am still figuring it out. For the first 6 weeks I was so completely on another planet I am not sure I even looked in the mirror to see how I was doing. You look as amazing as ever.
