I'm sure there will be plenty of postpartum leggings or pj wardrobe days, but remembering how I craved feeling like myself after Hendrik was born, and how feeling myself means dressing like "normal," I tried to plan ahead a bit on some things to wear that would work to make me feel good in the period of time when I'm not spending a lot of time on appearance, my old wardrobe doesn't quite fit, and I need nursing-friendly access so I can't wear a lot of my old wardrobe favorites yet anyway. Also I remember hating wearing nursing tanks because camisoles are so not me, so I dug around a bit for other top options, and here's what I've got lined up:
henley tee (similar) | fly-away hem tank | button-front tank (similar) | shirt dress (similar, similar) | cardigan (similar) | pull-on cropped pants (similar, similar) | chambray shirt (similar) | pull-on shorts (similar) | espadrille slides (similar) | white birks | nursing bras
It's going to be hot around here for a bit still, so this should hopefully take me through the late summer/early fall with lightweight fabrics and tanks but also layering options that are all very nursing-friendly (lots of buttons here!), comfortable, and roomy/elasticy enough for the still-adjusting body shape - but they still feel like real outfits. And of course, planning it in capsule form takes the guesswork and time out of getting dressed, which is just what I'll be needing.
I've also got a few during/after pieces - this blouse and this dress from Target's Nines by Hatch collection are ones I have especially liked wearing during pregnancy but also knowing that I'd get to continue feeling cute in them later! And I do have a nursing tank or two, even though I really didn't like wearing them before, because that's some good convenience for the inevitable loungewear days, which are okay too.
