Nursing is really sucking the fun out of my spring/summer sundress dreams. I had that struggle last year. The Land’s End fit and flare dresses are nursing friendly. I used a scarf with them to NIP discreetly. would it be pump friendly? I love dresses in the summer but need something I can easily pump in.

thisbitch I ordered those polka dot culottes! Yay! I might order them, too. Is that weird and creepy? We can make virtual plans to match our outfits like middle school. I think I may order the black ones and those black pants, too. I keep saying I am not going to buy any new clothes until I lose some weight, but I am in dire straits now. I also have a weird work trip for H coming up (next month) where I have to show up to various events and look like a regular person instead of a SAHM who never changed out of her sweaty workout clothes.

I love dresses in the summer but need something I can easily pump in. Probably not. It’s a v-neck, so easy to pop one boob out, but trickier for two. ETA: I never actually tried to pump in it and it sounds like maybe it is!

I hatttte my third love bra. Natori is my favorite brand. I really need to go get a couple new ones. Natori is also my favorite, and I always find lots at the Nordstrom Rack near you. $20 each! I get excited just thinking about it.

I was thinking that it's easy to just pull the top half (the fitted part) down for a double pump. Like, arms out, and it's still fitted enough around the rib cage to stay on. Or at least, that's what I did. Too many dresses require a complete strip-down to pump.

I recently got a new VS bra since I can actually fit into them band wise now and I'm in love. It is so soft and covers perfectly my favourite black bra which also converts to strapless is VS. My problem with VS is not the product, it's the sales people who try to tell me I can fit into a band size 2 sizes to big for me and a cup size 2 sizes small. They need to stop pushing sales when their company refuses to carry a product that will actually give me support instead of back pain.

My bra struggle is real right now. I want to try the Third Love nursing bra and maybe make my boobs look okayish again. I have some bomb cleavage when I want, but tees are another story. I absolutely love my ThirdLove bras. Granted they aren't nursing, but their bras are so comfortable. I just ordered more because I've lost weight and my current bras are too big.

I like, but don't love my ThirdLove bra. I haven't actually found a brand of bra that I love yet. I'm heading to Nordstrom Rack this weekend, so I might check out what they have.

I actually sent my ThirdLove bra back within the 30 day guarantee and never had to pay for it. The between the boob part kept digging into my skin. I think they may have changed that in newer bras, but I'm not trying again. I feel like my bras likes/dislikes are cyclical. I find something I like, and then the company ends up changing the style and I have to find something else. I have resigned myself to the idea that it will be a constantly evolving thing. Same thing with jeans or shorts.

I recently accidentally dried it and I was so upset. I need to find a replacement now because none of my other bras are cutting it.

gussie I recently went back to VS. They have a plunge bra that I'm liking right now. I'm sure the style won't be around anymore when I need to replace them though.

I will add, my favorite non-nursing bras are Aerie. I got a bunch of different styles two years ago at an outlet on sale and they're still in great shape (granted I haven't been wearing them really the last 6 months)
I don't know how large they go though, I wear a 34D and I think DD maaaay be the top of their sizes.

I'm still debating the lavender jeggings referenced upthread. Love the color, but not sure I currently have enough tops that would pair well with them. What would y'all wear with lavender jeggings?

I love all of these but I would look like a chubby toddler in the last one. I'm tempted to buy that first one even though I have no idea when I'll be able to wear it.

I can't remember the last time I wore spaghetti straps so I'm exceptionally curious about the fit of that one. I really loved the white with yellow pattern, though.

I liked how my third love fit but the underwire poked through within 2 months 🙄
I recently got a Spanx bra and love it, fit is amazing, so I hope it holds up.

What's your work dress code/situation? I wear button-downs almost exclusively right now for nursing and pumping.  business casual do you have a private office/ pumping room? If so there's really no need for a special shirt. I used to wear a nursing Cami as my bra and just throw a regular work shirt over it. Then when I pumped in my office with the door shut, I'd pull the shirt up/off and the Cami would keep me warm enough/not naked.

I need loose fitting tops that go with leggings, so they are a little longer but not too much because I'm short and tunics swim on me. I have some from the past couple years but I'm kind of over them. My stomach is my problem area so I like loose fitting tops with tighter pants in the summer

I've decided to skip spring and hold out for late/spring summer. I am giving myself until Memorial Day Weekend and at that time I am going to order whatever makes me feel good in the size that I am. No "saving" for when I lose weight.
Also all the sales.
