Breastfeeding is Easy, Part 4

Who knew this challenge would continue??

Now the problem is solely mine. Wardrobe.

The issue is twofold, nursing requires an access to your boobs that most clothes don't provide (think about your cutest dress - you would likely have to take the whole thing off to get to your bra, no?); and I guess I must have been pregnant most of last summer b/c I seem to have ZERO clothing options to even work with in my closet.

This means I have been wearing variations of the exact same outfit for the last three months. Jeans. Nursing tank top. Tank top over that.

While I'm not paving any fashion trends, it has been OK since the only people I've seen with any regularity have been Ben, hubby and Gaston and none of them care (or frankly have even noticed). But now that I'm going back to work, I need to remedy this situation.

I went shopping. I still hate this body (nursing is a miracle weight loss mechanism but nine months of expanding can't be washed away in nine weeks, regardless of your methods - at least not while still eating pizza every night).

I did buy a few things but they all seem to be tank tops and sweaters to wear over tank tops (that look surprising similar sweaters I wore while pregnant and who wears sweaters in June)?

Obviously not the world's biggest dilemma but one I continue to face each morning with no success. Thank goodness we can wear jeans to work now so I can at least fall back to my standard until I sort this out. Though the girls at the office will definitely notice if I wear my uniform every day, even if I do select different colored tank tops.

Have you been to BeBy Baby at Roscoe and Paulina? They have some super cute nursing shirts.
