I'm going to jump in here and sing the praises of nursing tops. I loved
them. While it's very possible to nurse in public in a regular top, it
is
obvious that one is nursing, which is, to me, the real benefit of
nursing
clothing. Well, that and the fact that I didn't like exposing my tummy
any
more than my breasts, to nurse.

Seconded completely I think if I had a perfect figure (hah!) I
wouldn't
mind exposing my belly, but as it is, I'm all stretchmarks and dough.
Fine
when I'm sitting down, but when we're out I tend to nurse walking around,
and can't do that (and retain my dignity!) without a nursing top.

Thirded. I love nuring tops. I get mine at Motherwear and Expressiva.

I personally never liked any nursing top I tried, but much preferred a
knit top with a button front shirt over it or a lightweight cardigan.
You could check www.motherwear.com to compare prices, but they are only
online. It seems to me most of their tops run easily $35-45.

Personally, I never saw the need, but my cousin swears by her
Motherwear tops. Her dh got her the 3-piece starter set as a gift,
and she has worn it to death. (She may have more by now!) We had an
amusing conversation a while back about how she's the only one at her
LLL meetings who can't seem to get the hang of NIP. ;-) Her dd will
be 3 in May, and is still nursing, so it obviously hasn't been a huge
problem for them!

My only other thought is to buy something you are actually willing to
wear in public. Most of the nursing tops I've seen at Motherhood or
Target, etc. are so ugly that I wouldn't want to wear them anywear
that I'd care about being seen! ;-)
