I giggle looking at my hair in these pictures {mostly in the 3rd and 4th}, which is a great thing. There was a time when I was crying over my hair...maybe a bit dramatic, but the truth none the less, as I experienced postpartum hair loss with both of my little ones. My son is now 3 and daughter is 14 months old, and about 3-4 months after giving birth, my hair started literally falling out by the handful. I was far calmer about it the 2nd time around, mostly because I knew what was going on. But, with my son I had never even heard of postpartum hair loss. When I'd mention it to some of my girlfriends they would say 'oh yeah it happened to me! It's horrible! You are lucky you have a lot of hair to begin with'...but nobody warned me about it before the fact. Which may or may not have helped...but I think a heads up would have been nice ;) So now, while I'm still missing a good half of my hair {mostly in length since it's filling back in} , I fully embrace the hairs sticking straight up, as they are growing back in. Like with many things in life, unfortunately it sometimes takes coming close to losing something before we truly appreciate it. {I'll post on my care/routine soon to answer all your hair questions ;) }

I'm wearing Anne Klein pants that are a good 10 years old {actually, the very first time I wore them I snagged them a bit}. My top and belt are both Calvin Klein, Prada sunglasses {really only in the 3rd picture}, Aldo heels {also old} and Amrita Singh bangles which I love, but have a tendency to slip off my hand lol.

Happy Tuesday!

  2. You look like a supermodel Iva! I haven't lost a lot of hair yet, but it has started falling out. I read somewhere that you don't lose hair while pregnant so maybe it just all comes out at once!

  4. love the outfit!

    it seems like no one ever tells you the bad things about pregnancy and child rearing. is it that people think they're being kind or do they just have temporary memory loss??

  14. I really really like your hair. It looks soft and healthy and like it has some volume (which mine doesnt!) Id kill for some volume.

    I know what its like to lose handfulls of hair.. when i lost my aunt a couple of years ago where I lost 50% of my hair from the stress. Looking at your hair you could never tell it happened to you.. even the cute little sticky out bits just look like baby hair!!
    I would kill for your waves!!

    You look so great in these photos.. i love these outfit posts!!!!!!! You should be a full time model for sure!!

  51. I had the same problem after all of my children with hair loss. Luckily it wasn't permanent and it came back much thicker. Whew! I was with you, I had a nervous breakdown thinking I was going bald!

    Oh, and as always, I just love your style!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Wow, the only time my hair looked remotely as amazing is when I got extensions for New Year 2000! It was horrible getting it out. The glue melted to my scalp. Y2K hair!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Eek! I am almost 12 weeks postpartum and I have yet to see any hair loss. I also have long hair and I'm nervous about losing it. But I'm glad to see that it does grow back. Because now your hair looks absolutely GORGEOUS.

  71. Iva,
    I had to giggle! your hair is beautiful!! someone should have told you about the hair loose after giving birth...like your doctor!. you don't loose any of your hair while pregnant, it all falls out after.... in handfulls, which i do find strange!. but hey! just one of the strange events while pregnant!
    your hair is beautiful:)
