My left wrist feels naked without my ugly black hair elastic around it. My mom, who has always had short hair, used to say, “You always have that ‘schmatta’ (Yiddish for a tattered rag) around your wrist.” I’ve tried keeping hair elastics in my bag, in my pocket, etc., but nowhere is more convenient than … Read More about Accessory Tuesday: Hair Tie Bracelet

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. How is it Memorial Day already — and which sales are you most excited about as a working mom? (Are you traveling with your family at all? Picnicking?

Make My Life Easier Thursday: Return Address Stamp
From the time I graduated college to the time my husband and I bought our current place, I moved eight times, no exaggeration. I don’t think I spent more than two years in one location, no matter how much I loved the apartment. After we bought our place, one of the first things I did … Read More about Make My Life Easier Thursday: Return Address Stamp
Washable Workwear Wednesday: Shimmer Thread Peplum Blazer
I love everything about this blazer. I love how it’s so summery yet can still work for a more conservative environment. I love how there are several different elements — the colored threads, the peplum in the back, the three-quarter sleeves with the cut detail, the round neck — but it all somehow works together … Read More about Washable Workwear Wednesday: Shimmer Thread Peplum Blazer
Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Nursing and Car Seat Cover
This is one of those products that you will use almost every day during the newborn phase. It is a multitasker that serves as a breastfeeding cover, scarf, and car seat cover. My favorite use for it by far was as a car seat cover. I frequently used my car seat (Chicco KeyFit 30) and … Read More about Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Nursing and Car Seat Cover
Makeup & Beauty Monday: Gel Couture Nail Polish Kit
Before having a baby, I really enjoyed getting manicures semi-regularly. I liked how it made me feel more put-together, how it was an affordable luxury, and that I couldn’t do anything but sit there and stare into space while getting it done. After having a baby, my hands were constantly wet — washing bottles, doing … Read More about Makeup & Beauty Monday: Gel Couture Nail Polish Kit
Budget Thursday: Metro Luggage Leather Strap Watch
Every so often there will be a discussion on this site and on Corporette about watches. Some readers think that watches have gone the way of the dinosaurs while others would look down upon a potential new hire if they didn’t wear one to a job interview. Some readers see watches as a reward for … Read More about Budget Thursday: Metro Luggage Leather Strap Watch
Washable Workwear Wednesday: Fitted Crop Heathered Blazer
Banana Republic has a line of machine washable suits in a polyester/viscose rayon/spandex blend. A suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning, and I have a few really nice ones that I’d love to put into the rotation more often — but what keeps me from doing so is the … Read More about Washable Workwear Wednesday: Fitted Crop Heathered Blazer
Accessory Tuesday: Printed Card Case Keychain
I received a card case keychain as a gift many, many years ago, and I still find myself using it every day. I keep my MetroCard in the back sleeve for easy access — nothing is more frustrating to me than when someone stands in the little turnstile lane and then BEGINS to look for … Read More about Accessory Tuesday: Printed Card Case Keychain
Maternity Monday: Twist-Front Halter Swimsuit
It’s everyone’s favorite time of year… bathing suit season! Ha. I was in my first trimester during the summer months, so I never got to go full bump on the beach. It was the awkward time where I just looked bloated and didn’t want to share my pregnancy news, so needless to say, it wasn’t … Read More about Maternity Monday: Twist-Front Halter Swimsuit
Washable Workwear Wednesday: Striped Button Cuff Wrap Dress
What I like about this dress from Ann Taylor is that it keeps the wrap dress style but also blends a more tailored aspect. The button cuffed sleeves, the plain colored belt, and the vertical stripes — which usually skew more toward business casual — help to professionalize it. The v-neck of a wrap dress … Read More about Washable Workwear Wednesday: Striped Button Cuff Wrap Dress
