Fashion, lifestyle, and career advice for overachieving moms and moms-to-be
I am generally a big fan of Three Dots, and this washable blazer looks like that great hybrid between a cardigan and blazer, and should be friendly in pregnancy, while nursing, and beyond. It’s available in sizes XS-XL at Bloomingdale’s for $238. Three Dots Open Front Blazer
Psst: here’s a similar, budget-friendly option in red, and a plus-size option.
I’m not familiar with the brand, but I’ve noticed a number of cute dresses explicitly billed as “washable” in the name. This cute sheath dress comes in sizes 4-18, and is available exclusively at Dillard’s for $139. Alex Marie Lucie Washable Dress
Corporette readers were talking the other day about pump-friendly clothes, and this wrap dress was mentioned. I’m generally a fan of black and white prints, and the three-quarter sleeves and A-line skirt look lovely. The dress is available in regular and petite sizes 00-16 for $140. WHBM Printed Wrap Dress
Here’s a $39 version (in very limited sizes, alas). Readers, what were/are your favorite dresses for pumping? Was there a brand or specific product that you loved?
(Yeah, still working on the names for the days)… Nordstrom’s clearance sale is on, huzzah! I like this statement necklace from Kate Spade, which I think is wearable in all stages of mom-dom. While pregnant and nursing a necklace comes in handy to distract from your bust area and keep the focus on your face… whereas in the post-nursing stage it’s super easy to throw on and add some pizzazz to an outfit quickly and easily. It’s available in four color combos, and was $98, but is now marked to $49-66. Kate Spade Day Tripper Bib Necklace
Psst: Today’s admin question: how many of you are getting multiple copies of each email? (If you signed up for both email lists, that’s the easy answer — you may want to unsubscribe from one of them.) Are you liking the “blog broadcast” version of the email (where you get an email as soon as there’s a new post on the blog), or should I turn that feature off?
Happy hump day! This gorgeous burgundy blazer is ponte lined with satin, all of which tells you it’s going to be stretchy, machine washable, and generally pretty sturdy. I like the ruffle at the collar and the half-belt details at the back. It’s available in regular and petites at White House | Black Market for $150. Perfect Form Ponte Burgundy Jacket
P.S.: here’s a $29 option (which also comes in sizes up to XXL).
P.P.S.: I just noticed that last week’s Washable Wednesday option is also available at Lord & Taylor in black and blue, for $64 (not counting their coupon codes), in sizes 0-16.
These well-reviewed 2.75″ wedges from Clarks look like just the thing for the almost-fall weather we’re having. I like the black, but they also come in brown. They’re $110. Clarks Bassett Mine
