Wardrobe Workhorses

The ladies over at Scholar Style Guide have designated this week as Wardrobe Workhorse Week.  Since I'm not doing anything else (well, except for the ongoing nap battle...), I thought I'd participate.  While I don't consider myself especially stylish, I do think carefully about what I wear each day (sometimes too carefully, since half the time I end up with some kind of bodily fluid on my clothes anyway).  As a stay-at-home mom, I have to consider my clothing choices carefully for ease of nursing, comfort, washability, and floor-friendliness (the ability to sit on the floor in your clothes without flashing the goods).  So here's my first submission:

sweater: Banana Republic; blue nursing cami: Target; skirt: Old Navy; sash: from another skirt; flower flip flops: Clarks via DSW

The sweater and skirt are favorites from my pregnancy wardrobe.  In fact, that skirt was one of the last pieces that fit me.  When I first came home with Henry, it was a lifesaver because I could adjust it to keep it off the incisicion from my c-section.  While the sweater hasn't seen much wear this summer thanks to the beastly heat, it's nice to have on hand for chilly air-conditioning.  Plus, the silk ruffles make everything seem more polished.  This outfit has it all: I could nurse easily thanks to the nursing tank, and the skirt was comfortable AND easy to sit on the floor in.  Since I hiked it up to my natural waist, I also felt a little more put-together than usual.  Which was great, because we had tons to do that day, like, you know, nursing.  And napping.  And some tv-watching.  Oh, and we played on the floor.  It was a big day. 

I have no idea why this picture looks so blurry, but I can barely use my camera or the minimal editing stuff on my computer.  Hmm.
