tiger lily inspiration (giveaway)

July 26, 2012 | Category: I'm a Blogger, I'm a Shopper

This is one of my favorite photos from early on in my pregnancy with Paul. Casey took it last August, at the Indiana State Fair. I was only 19 week pregnant, but looked and felt all of 35 weeks.

That orange striped shirt in the photo is still one of my favorites, in fact I wore it just yesterday. I love the color, the lightweighty-ness of the fabric, and how I used it as a maternity shirt even though it was never intended to be a maternity shirt.

One year later, I’ve swapped the bulging belly for a six month old fluffy butt. You guys, he’s trying to crawl already.

It’s not fair.

And my wardrobe has changed, but only slightly. Every morning when I get dressed, I have Paul in mind. Six months in, and he’s still breastfeeding like his life depends on it. (OK, maybe his life does depend on it, but you get my drift)

No lie, almost every single day my outfit starts with a Bravado tank. I have it in 3 neutral colors (white, black, brown), and now my new favorite color for summer, tiger lily.

Bright orange is a fun accent, to my otherwise very neutral closet.

These past few month, I’ve been writing every Friday over at Bravado’s Breastfeeding Diaries. It’s been an amazing outlet and place of breastfeeding support for me, and I hope you join me over there from time to time.

But back to the tank. If you breastfeed, you need this top. And the beautiful orange tiger lily color is a special seasonal item that will be gone before you know it.

    Ha! I’m wearing whatever fits and is easiest to breastfeed in… haven’t had a chance to pick something that I like. However, your blog post has inspired me to maybe add some color or detail to my “mom uniform”.
    PS I love the tiger lily color! It’s lovely.

    I am loving to wear purple and black but I think my wardrobe, maybe changing up a bit, need to add some blue, because so far it looks like we are having a boy, due in January :) This looks like a fab tank. Thanks for the chance.

    I love tanks, whether I’m nursing, or not! My biggest problem is that I have a fairly drab wardrobe. A good friend was just telling me how much I need to wear more color! Black, white and blue are my go-to choices.

    I just purchased my first nursing bras (in black and butterscotch) yesterday for my birthday. Baby is due in 2.5 weeks and I’m waiting very impatiently. I’ve been wearing a lot of pink this summer – maybe because I’m having a girl!

    It’s funny you posted this… I was just thinking about how desperately my prego (and post-prego, cause let’s face it, they’re the same) needs color. Everything I own is black, white or grey – and rest assured, it’s not helping to disguise how big I am with 5 weeks to go on baby #2!
