Nursing Accessories: It's in the Details

I am a firm believer that you can be a fashionista while still being a devoted, breastfeeding mom. Yes, I know this is easier said than done, and I know what you are all thinking. You are thinking that you don't want to have to take the time to throw together that perfectly stylish outfit, just to go Trader Joe's.  I say yes, yes you should!

So many times we lose ourselves and our fashion flare to the deep dark hole of sleep-deprived motherhood. We all have fussy babies, piles of laundry, worries over weight gain, and more. But I think that when you step back, accept your new role, even your new body, and make the choice that you are going to be FABULOUS on top of all these new setbacks, things will begin to look a little brighter. Something will change, things will begin to shift. You will tap into your "old self" and begin to make (baby) steps to regaining your new amazing self. This might be as simple as some bold and unique accessories.

A great accessory can take a simple outfit to the next level. To find today's accessory picks, I decided to take a trip through the intricate web of handmade goodies on Etsy. Here are some of the highlights.
