Summer Essentials from Shannon at the Scribble Pad!

In the world of blogging you end up becoming actual real friends with people that you've never met in real life and only correspond with over email, comments and the like. 

I like to think of it as internet pen pals. 

Shannon is one of those friends and she has graciously written a guest blog so that I can have yet another day off from posting. Not that I have been diligent about posting everyday anyway (eek, sorry about that!) So thank you Shannon for helping my little blog not get dusty!  I love this post and am going to have go shopping now!

Summer Live-ins

I would call these items essential, but somehow they manage to be more than that.  With a new babe around, you find a few items that work for you and live in them.  You hardly have time for anything else.  Speaking of time, I decided to help Lady Lee by hand picking a few summer essentials just for her.

Bonus, these items are super fab on the cheap so we can save our pennies for college.  Double Bonus, they are fool proof and work for everyone, not just the new mammas of blogging world like Lady Lee, E (http://e-tells-tales.blogspot.com), soon to be Bridget (http://itsahuntlife.blogspot.com), and me (http://www.schreiber6.blogspot.com).




Tanks with Flair make it look like you put effort into your outfit.   Green tank with pleated trim, or yellow polka dot with ruffles  to brighten up your day.

Great Accessories – a catchall bag that goes from the market to the beach and carries all your baby needs and comfortable flats that you can stand in all day.

A go-to dress for every occasion all summer long.

The perfect skirt to wear with anything.  No one needs to know that your husband’s undershirt was the only semi-clean thing left in the house when you tuck it into a cute skirt!

A drapey cardigan for cool summer nights and doubles as a nursing cover/baby blanket on the go! 

And top it all off with a hat to hide you from the sun.

  3. @ bridget - actually, yes. I have found that once you and babe get a hang of feeding loose fitting tops are a breeze to yank up and v-neck dresses easily pop one boob out. can I say boob on Lady Lee's blog? It is not very lady-like.

    @ cindy and stacia - thanks so much!
