I’m still figuring out my post pregnancy wardrobe. In part because I am a weird size, in part because I am still trying to disguise my little belly and in part because I am nursing. This outfit, it turns out is nursing perfection. I’m simply wearing this loose cotton top over my comfy cotton Target nursing bra. The wide neckline of this top gives me easy access to nurse without having to pull a shirt up or unbutton or anything.

wooooo MaMa looks TIRED!

Top: Cotton On

Jeans: Old Navy Maternity ($20)

Nursing Bra: Target ($17)

Oliver is going through a growth spurt right now and literally eating around the clock. I haven’t been able to get out much or do much based on the fact that the kid is always eating! Today was no exception really, but since I didn’t really leave my yoga pants yesterday, I felt like getting ready for the day anyhow. Even if all we did was go to our office to finish some wedding work and do some blogging.

It was really bright out so my top looks weirdly iridescent but its just coral. Strangely enough my shoes ARE kind of iridescent natural/gold but you can’t tell haha.

Coral blouse: Old Navy $10

Jeans: Old Navy Maternity (yep, still wearing those) $39

Shoes: Fake Tom’s via CVS $12.99!!!

Earrings: Kate Spade $45

You can barely see itty bitty Ollie here but his adorable yellow leggings are from Little Hip Squeaks ($36)

We are starting to get back on the horse, little by little. We have been out and about lately, just to try things out and get out there. We have been running errands, grabbing coffee etc. It’s just nice to get out of the house and also to challenge ourselves to figure this all out. How do we work around the babies schedule? Where do we stop to change the baby? Or drop everything and have a breastfeeding session?

My wardrobe is still in a weird transitional place. I’m definitely not able to fit into my pre-pregnancy size zero pants, that’s for sure!! And since I literally just had a baby eleven days ago (!) I still have a little bit of a tummy that I’m not keen on showcasing. So I picked up a few over-sized tops like this awesome neon embroidered top from H&M. During my pregnancy, I purchased a few bottoms that were not maternity items, but rather just several sizes larger than my pre-pregnancy size. These items are proving to be quiet helpful during this transition period (like these shorts), but I have also still been wearing some of maternity pants as well. Another bonus is that now that my swelling has subsided, I can wear these sandals again! Also, two things: 1. The swelling got worse before it got better (just for a few days). Can you even imagine it worse than it was?!  2. I still haven’t really tried many of my shoes on and don’t know yet if my feet have changed sizes for the long run. I also think I am still a little bit swollen, so we will see.
