what to wear while being a milkmaid...

Inevitably no matter how many clothes are in my closet I find myself staring into the abyss in the morning wondering, 'what to wear today'? If I were more together I would pick outfits out in the evening so that my morning would be a bit smoother and I wouldn't tear apart my closet trying to find something that feels right for that particular day. Alas, this will never happen... especially now with a babe to care for... unfortunately, for me, my question has now gotten even MORE complicated and has MORE stipulations. 'What's the temperature' is not the number one question anymore, now it's 'will I be able to access my boobs easily in that'?  Which is something I never thought of when buying clothes!  And well, seems like my favorite thing to wear is crewneck tees, because that's the hardest thing to nurse in, and that's about all I see in my closet. ;)  What I don't have, is a button down shirt, which I think would be the easiest to nurse in... not a single one!!  what?  So I'm left to ponder #1 how it is that I work at a fabulous clothing store and yet have no fabulous button downs and #2 what kind of tops should I get to ease my dressing stress?  I figure I'll be nursing for at least 9 more months so shopping will be 'necessary'. (when is shopping not necessary? I can always find a reason.) Do any of you have suggestions of great nursing/easy-boob-access-styles for the new mommy??  signed, me {CA}

my little doll is now 19 mos, and I remember this dilemma so well! All the dresses went to the back of the closet for a while. I don't have a lot of what-to-buy advice, but would suggest some when-to-buy advice. I held off shopping, because it seemed like my body was changing so much during the first few months postpartum -- by month five or six, all the baby weight had melted off (plus a few more pounds), and that's when I bought a few things, especially better fitting maternity bras. Good luck!
