s/o no clothes

[statlerwaldorf]

What do you wear during the summer? Specifically casual clothes. Are there any flattering trends? I am so out of it and the f&b board scares me.

I have no idea about what's in style, but after seeing the sahms at the zoo, I went out and bought some denim Bermudas, vintage t's, chunky jewelry and gladiator type sandals.

Honestly, most of my outfits now revolve around whether they are easy to nurse in vs. stylish. But I do a lot of sun dresses. I have also been doing a lot of bermuda shorts with a really bright top. I love nautical stripes as well.

. Oh yeah, I also bought some really tight, thin tanks to wear under shirts so that nip isn't too offensive.

I wear a lot of maxi dresses and sum dresses. I do have a couple pairs of shorts. Just bought a cute pair from Target in coral to go with a polka dot coral tank I got from stylemint.

Unless I am at work, I pretty much live in knit dresses or Bermuda shorts or cropped/cuffed jeans with t-shirts or looser tunic style tops. Ballet flats or flat leather sandals on my feet. I try to accessorize with cute necklaces and earrings. I am sure I don't look particularly fashionable--my goal is just to avoid looking tragic and totally out of style.

This is all I'm asking for! Lol

I say walk into Old Navy and wander. Not the height of fashion, but I always find cheap summer clothes there.

This is basically my uniform right now, baby included:


I also do a lot of loose v-neck tees with shorts. I like to wear something looser on top (disguise the pooch) and slimmer on bottom (my hips/legs are decent).

Macys and Motherhood Maternity have some really cute summer things right now. Where the hell were these things when I was pregnant?!?! I'm actually a little bit bitter about that, LOL.

exactly.

Cropped pants, sundresses, casual fabric pencil skirts, longer shorts with flat sandals (I wear the hell out of my platinum Jack Rogers), wedges, and ballet flats--particularly the latter when the time between pedicures stretches out for multiple months as it has recently.

This is going to sound dumb, but how do you easily nurse in a dress? I have few sundresses but haven't figured out how to nurse in them so I've only been wearing them to work.

Maybe I'm buying the wrong type of dresses, mine are similar to this:



I usually need to wear a cami underneath or my bra shows.

[partiallysunny]

Sun dresses, maxi dresses, solid colored t-shirts and jeans.

I need some shorts, but I am ashamed of my thighs.

[thumper55]

I have a lot of flat front shorts (don't like pleats) in black, white,tan from old navy, and army green. I also wear bermudas for normal shorts, I like the inseam to be 5 inches.

flowery or striped tops, casual dresses with sandals

All of the sundresses I buy are faux wrap dresses. I can't tell from your picture if that is one or whether it is a basic v-neck. So it is easy to just pull one side down and nurse. I don't wear a cami underneath, but my bra doesn't show becuase I buy ones with thick straps). If I had to wear a cami I would just push it down I think.

This is an example of one of the dresses I have

I just bought one of those target kimono dresses and successfully nursed in it (with nursing tank underneath). I hated how the tank felt "bunchy" around my middle though.

Where are you moms buying cute shorts that aren't too short or too long?

[Ashley&Scott]

Kari that dress from Target is really cute! (The dresses I have cross in the front like the one you posted but the material isn't stretchy enough to pull down.)

Now I know what to look for when I go shopping this weekend, thank you!

[karinothing]

You are welcome! They have a bunch of styles like that with different patterns (at least mine did).

I usually would wear a cami and make sure that it was stretchy enough to pop a boob out.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Lots of skirts, shorts, tank tops, and flip flops. I have no idea what the trends are and probably look pretty frumpy compared to the other SAHMs in town with their TOMs and Victoria Beckham haircuts.
