Three Rules for Easy Postpartum Style

I've been a mom for six weeks. Sometimes I have to remind myself of this fact, but not really. I mean there's a life I am responsible for.

All this focus on the baby leaves little time for me to be concerned about what I'm wearing. I've realized my clothing needs to fit a few criteria:

• it's comfortable
• it isn't a pain to nurse in
• it wears well (simple to wash)

For me, that translates into wearing fewer articles of clothing more often. When we're home, I opt for yoga pants and a nursing tank. Lately, when we go out or are expecting visitors I typically wear a maxi skirt or shorts and a tank top or button front shirt.

The maxi skirt and tank/nursing top

Comfort is the name of the game. In the weeks after having a baby, the last thing I wanted was a waistband digging into me. So while wearing a maxi skirt keeps me comfy, it also allows for looking pulled together enough for church, lunch downtown or a doctor's appointment.

The button front shirt and shorts
I probably wear this three outfit days per week. I have 2 button front shirts and 3 pairs of shorts I rotate. It's mostly worn when I'm running errands and around the house, but I've also worn this combo to a birthday party and dinner with friends.

By the way, is it cool that I included Maggie in my outfit photos? I mean, if you saw me in person, you wouldn't see me standing there without her, right? Right.
