Fashion Transitions

With a baby in tow and changing seasons, it's time for a fashion change.

I now have complex requirements for anything I wear. My dress/top has to be nursing friendly (read: either buttoned-down, crossover neck, or a top that's easily pulled up without exposing a lot); my jewelry has to be minimal (M likes to pull on necklaces so they have to be sturdy or large enough he can't choke on the beads, and big earrings are a little scary right now); and although I still refuse to give up heels it makes more sense to rock it in flats when possible.

So my compromise:

• Target bohemian dress with slip (loose-fit and buttons down)
• Steve Madden boots (a built-in 1-in heel)
• World Market brass necklace and bracelet (necklace tied in a knot to make it shorter, bracelet became a teething toy later on)
