A Quick Mommy Outfit

I realize that all my outfits are "quick" or "last minute."  The truth is they are.  I literally browse my closet for a minute and lately, I just have one requirement for my everyday outfits:

1) It must be breastfeeding friendly

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to maneuver your shirt or dress to provide a sufficient meal for a fussy baby.  I love this flowy top from Simply Audrey because it has buttons- a breastfeeding mom's friend. 

I threw this outfit on when my husband and I were going to meet (with the kids) for an impromptu lunch date, but then he backed out due to work piling up.  I kept it on at home though because I realize I feel better if I brush my hair and don't wear my pajamas at home.  Also, who says moms can't wear heels?  I'm 5'2" on a good day, so I need all the help I can get.  I get the occasional, "You're a mom and you wear those shoes?"  I've earned every right to wear whichever shoes I want, thank you very much.

Quick Thinking

If you haven't noticed across Twitter, Instagram, and whatever networking site there is, Southern California has been having gorgeous near 80 degree weather for the past couple of weeks.  So, silly old me thought I'd wear this dress from Simply Audrey with my favorite summer platforms from Blowfish Shoes and go thrifting at this hip little place while my husband stayed home with the napping kiddos. 

I had a great thrifting experience and finally found some dark jeans that fit!  As I walked to my car to finish the rest of my errands, post office and Costco, I realized how cold it had gotten in an hour.  I had not brought a jacket or a sweater, and the thought of entering Costco's frozen section in my little dress gave me more of the chills.  So, I sat in the car in Costco's parking lot and not so discreetly put on my just purchased skinny jeans and it saved my a**.  Literally. I just tucked my dress in and made it a blouse. So, thank you thrifting, once again, for a lovely and cheap purchase.  Now I have two outfits in one! 

Which outfit do you like more- the dress used as a dress or as a blouse?
