Nursing Tuesday: Draped Nursing Top

This draped nursing top looks fashionable and comfortable but also functional. Hooray! Macy’s has it in a couple of colors for $29.98, including a happy teal. You can get free shipping (with a $25 minimum, so this qualifies) though 12/17 — and if you happen to need more than one nursing top, check out their current “buy 1, get the 2nd 50% off” deal. Motherhood…

long cardiganI am such a sucker for this kind of cardigan — I keep buying them! When we were traveling a few weeks ago I did a mini capsule wardrobe and picked my light blue cardigan (bought at Athleta, of all places, a few years ago) to wear with purples, blacks, and reds. It was a great choice because I probably wore it every single day. Light blue can be difficult to find in a drapey cardigan, though, so I’m happy to see that Bobeau has one out now. It’s handwash/line dry, available in regular and petites XS-XL, for $58. Bobeau Long Cardigan

It’s available in 6 colors in sizes XS to XL, is hand washable, and is $32-$74 at Amazon. Karen Kane Seam Detail Sweater…
