I am here to rave about some of my favorite clothes! You probably know that I don’t breastfeed anymore. Boy, that was fun, wasn’t it? When I was done breastfeeding I emptied my closet of all of my breastfeeding clothing and bras. It was so freeing! But there was one thing that I couldn’t let go of. My Nursing Sweatshirt Pullover. I will showcase several of my favorites from Nursing Queen. For reference I am 5’4″ and 160lbs. I normally wear a size medium on top and size large on the bottom. It’s very important that you remember to use code BADASS when you purchase any of these items because you will get 10% off!
I chose a size large in this style. Mama has much junk in her trunk. So when I want a top to fall nicely down over my hips this is usually what I do. If you prefer to wear it more snuggly or have it sit on your hips you can take this into consideration when choosing your size.
I love this sweatshirt and I get so many compliments on it. It has a hidden zipper across the front. it doesn’t even matter that I don’t breastfeeding anymore because it’s hidden. No one can even tell this is a nursing top. It is so fun though, to zip it open when someone comments on how much they like. TA-DA! The pockets are individual versus the kangaroo pockets common on most sweatshirts. And the arm cuffs are blessed with those amazing thumb holes. It comes is pretty pink and blue options too!
A similar option is the Nursing Hoodie – Quarter Zip – Hidden Zipper that features a waffle-quilted design. It also has thumb holes and this sweatshirt has a kangaroo pocket. Get this one if you want a hood. Chose a size large in this style for the same reason.
Nursing Queen tops that feature the horizontal hidden zippers all unzip from both sides. This allows you to unzip only as much as you need from either or both sides while breastfeeding or double pumping! These zippers manage to remain hidden because they are small and well sewn. It seems like this is something that will fail over time. However, I can speak to this with authority as I have been wearing my first sweatshirt for 10 years. It’s the same as the day I bought it.
Look at this pretty sweater! The Nursing Sweater With Asymmetrical Flap comes in this amazing purple which is why I wanted it to begin with. But it quickly jumped to the top of my list because just look at it. It fits perfect. It’s a great design and feels really soft. The flap is the stylish secret agent that allows for breastfeeding access. It comes in gray as well as a swoon-worthy blue. It’s not very thick so I can wear it in most weather in Chicago (except when it’s too hot to go outside, but then I will just laze around in the next outfit I want to show you!)
Alright stop. Pajama time. What if you don’t feel like getting dressed? What if you have a new baby? You need to be lounging around breastfeeding that baby on demand. And even if you don’t have a new baby I am a huge supporter of being comfy and staying home. I’m making it look like I get dressed and put make up on every day. But no, no, no, my friend. Most days I am home with my homeschooled kids living our best life doing math on the bed or watching videos about photosynthesis on the couch. The Nursing Pajamas is a simple pull over dress with pockets made out of some fabric that must be harvested from unicorn manes. I’m wearing a size medium.
Switching gears now. This Holy Grail Nursing Dress fits like a glove. It hangs softly and beautifully over all the curves. It has pockets! It has these cute puffy shoulders (that I wasn’t sure I would like on me, but totally do!) The hidden zippers on this beauty are horizontal on the sides. I like how the dress hits at the knees. It allows room for me to sit down and move around without my bum coming out. It also comes in a gorgeous lilac color. I am wearing a size medium here.
You thought I moved on from sweatshirts? No way! I just broke it up a bit so you wouldn’t get bored. I love sweatshirts, can you tell? As I said, I homeschool my kids. So we are always together doing the most random of things. Our week can include museum visits, video games a friends’ houses, donut party at the park, our co-op days where I need to run classes, teaching them any subject lounging on the floor while I cling to the teacher’s manual (man, I don’t remember any of this!) and daily walks with our dogs. One thing is for sure, I will be in the car every day. I need to be comfy, I live in leggings and high tops or boots. I also want to look good.
This Super Oversized Crewneck Sweatshirt is another one of my favorite sweatshirts more recently discovered. I love the slits on the sides. It’s so soft and loose fitting. It also features a v-neck. The hidden zippers on this top are angled vertically on the sides. Just unzip and latch on. Due to this already being oversized as in it’s name, I chose a size medium.
Ready for the summer with my Ribbed Cotton Nursing Tank Top! This is a classic fitted but not too tight tank top. The nursing access on this top are hidden flaps on the sides on the breasts. This tank top is perfect for under your favorite cardigan or on it’s own when you are out in the hotter weather.
That’s all for now. What’s your favorite? And don’t forget, use code BADASS when you purchase any of these items because you will get 10% off!
