Easy Access Style ;)

I recently found myself back as a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) -- I'm not hating it...the flexibility to take care of the things I need to on my own schedule and most importantly, on the off-peak traffic schedule (you all know Honolulu has the worst traffic in the nation, right). Anyway, here I am at home again because baby number 4 arrived at the beginning of the year and I was just going to be working to pay for daycare...what was the point.

As a new mom again, I find myself starting everything all over again. I had sold off all my baby gear thinking we were done having little ones (Baby W was a pleasant surprise!). And I had only kept the baby clothes from my other kids that I REALLY loved. I had no maternity outfits left and I needed to get used to the sleepless nights and nursing and baby proofing once more. But I'm Mom. I got all of that under control...again, this isn't my first rodeo. BUT, the biggest issue I have is finding cute outfits that are also nursing-friendly.

I live in Hawaii...so long-sleeved button-down shirts/blouses are a huge NO THANK YOU! I am the type of person that would rather be cold and layer up than be hot and uncomfortable even naked. This is one of the hazards of living in paradise. So, I'm looking for cool, trendy, easy-access clothes that are still appropriate for a mom of 4. That being said, a strapless tube top wasn't going to cut it even though it fit all of the above specifications. I also know that I am not going to be having any more children (steps are being taken) and I won't be nursing forever so I want to find things that I'll still want to wear afterwards. What is a girl to do?

Some of my go-to pieces are seen on my instagram.

* I just got this shirtdress from H&M. It has sleeves, but the material is lightweight and dresses tend to be cooler since, well, the bottom allows for some airflow. 

* The white blouse I got from a local boutique called Eden In Love and it is absolutely perfect for nursing. It is flowy and cap-sleeved, but the best part is that it has zippers that go up both sides allowing for me to lift it away and nurse away.

* The last option is kind of my no fail option. A simple cami under a kimono top. I can easily pull the top of the cami down and hide baby under the kimono. I also tend to just layer a cami under a regular tee that I can simply lift up. The cami hides any belly skin from being skin (although I'm working on it, I'm not yet comfortable showing that part of me off.

I'm still on the hunt for other pieces that are nursing-friendly. If you have some cute ideas to share, please comment below!
