Labor day sales have already started — over at Corporette I did a mini roundup for Last Call’s excellent sale (look at these cute little kneepads for crawling babies!), and will be doing one later this morning for the Nordstrom clearance sale, which just started this morning. For Washable Wednesday I’m liking this wrap dress … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Adele Print Matte Jersey Wrap Dress
If you’re not a fan of the standard black nylon tote that your pump may have come with, this lovely breast pump tote (in both mushroom, pictured, and black) looks great. I like the texture, the sleek look, and the details like the thermo-insulated pocket, the two included ice packs, and the regular tote details … Read More about Pumping Tuesday: Juno Tote
This surplice top has been around in various incarnations for several years now — Nordstrom has some great colors for it right now, including this lovely black graphic print. This looks like the rare top that isn’t a “nursing” top, per se, but is great for both pumping and nursing (depending on your pumping style, of … Read More about Nursing/Pumping Tuesday: Vince Camuto Faux Wrap Top
We’ve pictured the affordable Pleione wrap shirt that everyone loves for pumping a number of times (and it’s now on sale at Nordstrom in both short-sleeved and sleeveless styles — the long-sleeved version is no longer on the site, alas, and has even sold out at Nordstrom Rack), but if you happen to be that rare woman who wants to wear … Read More about Pumping Tuesday: Tapestry Floral Faux-Wrap Silk Blouse
I recently came across an article that advised pumping moms to bring their nursing covers to work to use as a pumping cover as well — it hadn’t occurred to me but I think it’s great advice. I like the listed reason (that you can have friends in your office to maximize the time without making … Read More about Pumping Tuesday: Bay’s Nursing Scarf
Readers continue to sing the virtues of this Pleione wrap top for pumping, nursing, and general wear. Long-sleeved versions are on sale, but they just came out with new colors in this sleeveless version. This pretty rose cross print looks lovely — springy, feminine, flattering. It’s $58 at Nordstrom.

Happy Thursday, ladies! I really like the look of these short-sleeved wrap dresses at Old Navy. Not only are they machine washable and cute, they’re also great to wear if your weight is fluctuating (particularly in early pregnancy or postpartum), and they’re good for nursing. The same print also comes in a maternity dress for when … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Wrap-Front Jersey Dress
Wow — I had no idea these things existed until readers mentioned them in our last discussion on the best clothes for pumping at work. The basic idea is that they obviate the need for a horn, and allow you to collect milk in the cups themselves. Fascinating. Ladies who’ve used them, how have you found the … Read More about Pumping Tuesday: Freemie Milk Collection Cups
We featured the regular version of this wrap dress a few weeks ago on Corporette, but it’s worth noting that the same Etsy seller has several cute maternity options. I love the high neckline, the elbow length sleeves, the ladylike hemline, and the general, flattering vibe and color of the wrap dress. It’s $129, and … Read More about Maternity Monday: Jersey Wrap Dress
I LOVED this strapless nursing tank.
I always associate Kate Middleton with the brand Seraphine — I believe she’s worn a ton of their dresses during her pregnancies — and I like this springy wrap dress. This navy polka dot version (also the cobalt) version looks classic, flattering, and lovely. It’s $89-$95 at Amazon. Seraphine Polka Dot Mock Wrap Maternity Dress
