I thought I'd share two of my simple baby wearing outfits with you, for a slow and small walk around the neighbourhood with the boys. No accessories, messy mum-bun and a very tired makeup-free face, but it's nice to document the unpolished side of life, and celebrate being able to get out of the house!
What I wore:
Singlet: Best & Less blue stripe breastfeeding singletShorts: Cotton On blue denim shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Why I wore it:
This was actually what I wore for my first solo outing with all the boys. We didn't manage to complete our usual long walk, but we did get out the house and entertained Cooper and Toddler T for a while so I counted it a success.Despite being April and autumn in Queensland, Brisbane was still pretty warm. I'd assumed with an autumn baby that I'd be dressing for autumn temperatures post baby, and packed away all my shorts thinking I wouldn't need them for a while! I haven't been able to find all of them, but did find this pair and it was nice to wear something non-maternity for a change.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, breastfeeding singlet, denim shorts, Havaianas.
Other ways to wear: breastfeeding singlet and newborn baby T, denim shorts and a striped tunic.
What I wore:
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Carrier: Ergobaby original carrierSinglet: Best & Less blue stripe breastfeeding singlet
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Why I wore it:
Another family walk around the neighbourhood. While I'm wearing the same nursing top as I did a few days before (above), I wore a maxi skirt instead of denim shorts. Comfortable, simple and easy to wear outfits like this are ideal for babywearing. I prefer to avoid anything with buttons or zips when I have a baby strapped to me.Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), blue breastfeeding singlet (above), black maxi skirt, Havaianas (above).
Other ways to wear: breastfeeding singlet and skinny jeans, black maxi skirt and kimono with a baby bump.

These outfits are the perfect mix of cute and practical. I'm glad the weather is nice enough for you to enjoy the outdoors--I'm sure your boys love it!
ReplyDeleteYes that has been the big advantage of the warmer than usual weather - we can get out a lot more often :)
DeleteJust amazing and perfect outfits.
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about wearing the baby is that you don't have to worry about spit on the top, nobody is going to see it anyway...

hehe yes! Babywearing is practical in so many ways! :)

How cute are you guys?! I love that despite being run down and feeling tired, you still make it a priority for your family to get some fresh air. That's some awesome mom status right there! I love how practical these are. There's literally nothing better than seeing a personal fashion blog appreciate the practical and real side of getting dressed!
ReplyDeletehehe it's for everyone's benefit! Does me good to see the sunshine, lets the toddler burn off some energy and helps baby learn day from night. And of course gives Cooper his exercise! :)
DeleteMica, you look so good girl! You have your hands full (Cooper, Baby T, Baby). Gorgeous family.

Yes definitely have my hands full! I'm very blessed :)
DeleteI think baby wearing for a walk sounds like great exercise and a good way to entertain all. You four look cute together!

Mica, you look positively fresh! Definitely agree on the value of getting out and about, and I love me a good walk. Do you find you get too hot with the baby strapped to you?
ReplyDeleteIt's actually not too hot at all! I tend to wear less than I would if I wasn't babywearing, but he's so small he doesn't overheat me. I've babyworn in summer when toddler T was younger too, although I don't do it for too long in the heat of the day.
DeleteMica, thank you for sharing the many facets of life and fashion that is being a mum. Including the many keeping it real days... You're an inspiration :-)
