WIW: MOTG and mustard love - YouLookFab Forum

Here's two WIWs from this week featuring breastfeeding- friendly babycarrying MOTG outfits. This week I'm happiest about fitting back into three more pairs of my jeans which means I don't need to buy any more to tide over winter, hurray!

I'm also happy about wearing the "new to me" mustard cardigan off eBay that I received. I would say it was the first cardigan that I purposefully bought to fill a wardrobe hole. It's not a hole in the traditional sense as I have a lot of cardigans, but I've always just randomly bought cardigans either because I liked the color or went "ooh cashmere steal!", without thinking about how they actually complemented my wardrobe. This mustard cardigan though... it goes with almost everything.

#1: Red Ann Taylor Loft cardigan, button-up F21 tunic, Old Navy jeans, Mephisto patent leather sneakers (I think they look like loafers)
#2: Mustard Merona cardigan, F21 plus-sized floral shirt, Gap bootcuts, booties, Guess tote on one arm and LO squirming on the other.
#3: Babycarrying in the Ergo for a check up at the pediatrician's!

Very nice! Can I just comment on how expertly Baby is pattern mixing with Mama? ^^

You cracked me up with "ooh cashmere steal". I do that way too much! Love the color of your new sweater, and your little guy is gorgeous.

Very unique elevator pictures by the way.

You look so good! And I love mustard but can't wear it, so I love seeing you rock it. Your baby is precious.

Yes, a mustard sweater is very versatile and a great addition to your wardrobe. Your little one is adorable and your outfits are great MOTG looks.

Aida, oh my gosh I didn't even see that he was pattern-mixing with me! Guess he'll grow up to be more sartorially attuned than me

You look great! I've always found the breastfeeding style the hardest, so many factors to consider on so little sleep. But, wow, you look magnificent!

Thanks Stanzi! I do find it hard as button ups are one of my least favorite styles and I've never liked short tops either, especially with how low jeans are today.

The other thing that's been challenging is finding a way to incorporate my bag collection, especially with babywearing. I bought a diaper bag and was given a few free but I found they gave me no happiness factor so they're just sitting in the closet. So far I find that crossbodys and shoulder totes seem to work.

You and your sweet baby look wonderful. I remember how challenging it was to dress even casually for nursing. Mustard is a great color on you.

You are a stylish MOTG. Wonderful and well done. I am proud of you. Just look at you shine in #2.

Thanks Angie! What a privilege it is to have your stamp of approval on this! I am very much studying your blog right now. I'm telling myself the flip side of the wardrobe restriction is that it can be creative, as all the YLF challenge warriors have shown time after time So I hope to have fun creating my BFMOTG capsules.
