A Simpler Motherhood

Nursing Friendly Fall Capsule

The first day of fall is right around the corner and I am here for it. Fall is all sorts of lovely from the apple picking to the crisp mornings to the baking and comfort food. It’s one of my very favorite times of year and this year is no different.

As most of you know, I recently had my fourth child and am in the glorious season of feeding around the clock and so many snuggles. I love this stage and am trying to savor it as much as possible. Feeding around the clock requires clothes that allow me to do so. I put more thought into my fall wardrobe this year than in the past, mostly because everything I wear has to be easy to feed in. So for me that means no dresses this fall. I could purchase a nursing dress or two, but I haven’t needed one badly enough to spend the money.

This fall all my clothes must be nursing friendly, which means lots of tops and some bottoms. It also means cardigans and button down tops that have easy access. And, as always, it means comfort. Comfort is super important to me (elastic waistbands forever) and I want to be comfortable in what I put on my body.

nursing friendly fall capsule

As you can see, there are 38 items in my capsule and I’m honestly not sure if I will wear everything. However, in this postpartum stage my body is changing and I want to have options. I also know there is a good chance I will be editing my closet in October when all of sudden it’s not 70 degrees anymore.

Are you implementing a capsule wardrobe this fall? If so, what are some of your go-tos?
