I'm back! Back to work, back to outfitting, back to blogging, writing, and life in general. After a lovely summer bonding with my newborn and finding the new normal in our family of four, I've returned to the daily 9-to-5 grind. For my first day back on the job I went for a graphic black n' white ensemble punctured by this dark red wrap top. A new outfitting challenge I'm facing this time around is putting together work-wear that will allow me easy access to pump during the day. I'm fortunate that my place of business has a quiet and private mother's room for nursing mom's, so if need be, I can completely defrock to get a boob out. However, I'd much rather not add that complication into an already awkward process. So I'll be leaning on wrap-style silhouettes, button-downs, and looser-fits, as well as layering nursing camisoles and hope to keep building interesting and dynamic ensembles around those functional elements.
Just like last time returning to work after maternity leave, my body is in an ongoing transition of regaining/re-finding itself, with breastfeeding adding an additional nuance to this process. All in all it does effect my style, but the key for me, is to evolve and prioritize my personal style no matter my breast size, weight, or uterus status. It's a vital component to my self-care as a modern working mother.
