Reader M wrote in to nominate this cardigan, noting, “I bought one a few weeks ago and I have already gotten so much use out of it. I can nurse discreetly in public without a separate cover, the fabric is warm and cozy and the shape is flattering for postpartum lumps. The fleece (a nice … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Asymmetrical Fleece Wrap Cardigan
I only had one maternity sweater for all of last winter, just making do with cardigans for most of last winter — but I really like this cowl-neck sweater-tunic from Old Navy, which looks like it would be nice with leggings, skinny cords, pencil skirts, or even as a top layer on top of some … Read More about Maternity Monday: Cowl Neck Sweater Tunic
Sam Edelman is a brand that I had not heard of — or at least had not taken seriously — until a few years ago. Now, the Petty boots and Okala heels are almost standard issue, and it looks like these Opal heels aren’t far behind. They have 28 reviews on Zappos with a 5-star rating overall, and … Read More about Finally Friday: Opal Pump
Hat tip to editor Kate who found this cardigan — I like it so much I may have to buy one for myself. It’s made of a hand washable ribbed knit with an elasticized, cinched back panel. It seems like a great thing to wear over a sheath dress or with trousers whether you’re pregnant, … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Browsing for Books Cardigan
It always happens: a site is having a great sale, and I find one of the few pieces that ISN’T on sale… sigh. Fortunately, this dress is pretty affordable to begin with at $129, and I like the dark brown pattern — it almost has a tweed/crosshatch effect going on, which is quite nice. I … Read More about Washable Wednesday: City Jersey Printed Dress
Let’s ignore the fact, for the moment, that this is my very favorite color, and focus instead on all the other great stuff this top has going for it. It can be worn in both maternity and while nursing (and even if pumping, I suspect). It looks super cozy and warm, but still professional and … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Avebury Nursing Top
I am loving all of the blue leopard influences at Loft right now, including this interesting wool sweater dress. I like that it isn’t too booby, too twee (no bow or other cuteness on the bump!) and I like that it just generally looks like a cute dress for work or weekend. It’s $94.50 at … Read More about Maternity Monday: Leopard Print Sweater Dress
I found this bag this week while looking for a comp to a Corporette coffee break — and couldn’t believe the price. The bag looks well constructed, soft, has nice colors, is reversible, and is only $52… Amazing. It comes in about five colors, all reversible. Neiman Marcus Snake-Embossed Trimmed Reversible Tote Bag
Oooh, pretty. I really like the gray stones for this statement necklace. I like the linear, yet natural, feel to the stones, and I think the mix of gray and gold is an unusual one (they also have it in a teal agate). The gray necklace was $98, but is now marked to $45 at … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Zuma Beach Necklace
Eileen Fisher is another brand that, I’m learning, has an entire line of washable items marketed as such. This jersey shift dress looks simple but, I suspect, is well made enough that it’ll hold up well for quite some time, which hopefully makes up for the fact that they’re all a bit pricier than your … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Sleeveless Jersey Shift Dress
I’ll be honest: as a breastfeeding mom, I’m most familiar with making single servings of formula for times when, er, Mommy couldn’t feed the baby (or, yes, for times we’ve supplemented, or for purposes of mixing with cereal). Still, I wanted to throw the formula-feeding moms one since that’s obviously a valid choice that’s been … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Formula Mixing Pitcher
Hmmn. In our Guide to Looking Professional While Pregnant, I noted that I didn’t think maternity tanks were worth the money — but I’ve also said that I do recommend a few “nursing” tops (if you’re nursing) for those fun times that you can plan on nursing in public — airplanes, doctors’ offices, the occasional … Read More about Maternity Monday: Maternity/Nursing Tank
