I’m a huge jumpsuit fan — they’re the one-and-done alternative to dresses. When I was pregnant, they made me feel put-together even if I felt like a beach ball.
This sleek black one from The Nines by Hatch is a great choice for moms-to-be. It has a bump-flattering faux wrap, scoop neck, and three-quarter puff sleeves. It’s made from soft and stretchy jersey and has a back zipper for easy on and off.
Just add a pair of sneakers for the weekend or ballet flats for a casual office and you’re ready to go!
This jumpsuit is $34 from Target and available in sizes XS–XXL.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
I need help with age-appropriate (8 and 10) language to explain to my kids why I don’t always have the bandwidth to do the things that other parents (especially families with a SAH parent) do. I’m trying to do as much as I can for and with my kids. I don’t want them to feel like they are missing out because its just me, and I don’t want to over burden them with the reality that being a single parent means that there are things that just aren’t going to happen. Yet, there are some weekends where I am just exhausted from the preceding week. Or where my kids want to do a project/activity that takes more coordination and work than I have to give. My daughter (8) wants us to start the “You’ve Been Booed” thing in our neighborhood. (Its a thing where you surprise neighbors with a treat on their doorstep and pass it around the neighborhood.) Could we realistically go get the bag, copy all of the papers to hang in the doorways and start it…maybe. I get these kind of requests all of the time, and, I’m just kind of tapped out. Any help in explaining this in an age-appropriate way? Distraction only works so well now that they are older.
I have completed my doctoral proposal (in education) and am scheduled for my oral defense on Thursday. I am excited and nervous, but also, as someone with a full work life and home life (with two kids) outside of school, it feels both HUGE and super unimportant compared to other aspects of my life.
Any tips for the oral presentation from you all? I ran through it a bunch of times and some committee members sent questions in advance, which I am prepared to answer. One challenge is I am very used to presenting as an expert in my field (I am 10+ years into my career). It’s strange to change my mindset that I am asking for approval to work to be an expert.
After giving birth about a year ago and some covid weight gain, I have not been able to comfortably wear my wedding rings in months. I should just go ahead and get them resized right? Wishful thinking that I will actually lose the weight, but if they did eventually get too large again I could just have them sized back down without damage?
I think it should only be 1/4 to 1/2 size up. I can get them on, but they are snug and hard to get off. They are white gold and not eternity bands.
we will soon be moving into a house that has an abnormally large garage. i’d love to keep some kind of folding table in it that i can pull out when the kids (3.5 year old twins) want to paint, etc. does anyone have any ideas for a table that can grow with them?
How much do you indulge your kids “preferance” for one parent over the other? My two year old is having the ultimate Mommy-phase, screaming non-stop for me if my husband puts him to sleep.
I am unsure how much I should indulge this? Will coming in if he screams like that set a bad example? Or will it teach him that we listen to his needs?
How long is the day for your young elementary school kids? I’m probably way over thinking this, but my 1st grade twins are begging to stay later at their afterschool program. School starts right after 8 am. We were picking them up around 5. We have pushed pick up to 5:30. The afterschool program (on school grounds) goes until 6. The 5-6 hour is all play – either organized sports or free play on the playground. It just seems like such a long day if they stay until 6.
I guess I am looking for permission to let them stay until 6? If they start to fall apart, we could go back to an earlier pick up time. Is this normal for elementary school? Although I guess “normal” these days is a bit of a crapshoot.
Just bought the jumpsuit last week. Paired with a tasteful green blazer and black heels. Would recommend.
