Washable Workwear Wednesday: 7th Avenue Mid-Rise Barely Bootcut Pant
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
We included New York & Company’s 7th Avenue pants in our post on washable pants for work over on Corporette, but today I’m giving them their own post, especially because they’re 50% off at the moment.
These pants are machine washable and have real pockets (both front and back), as well as 4% spandex for some stretch. I really like the buttons at the belt loops, which fits in with the button-y pants trend right now (yes, that is the technical name).
The pants are on sale for $29.97 and come in sizes 0–20 in three lengths. They’re available in the pictured navy as well as a bright blue — and there are many more 7th Avenue styles and colors available. 7th Avenue Mid-Rise Barely Bootcut Pant

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?
Random tip for those of you heading into the long weekend: there is an loooooong audiobook of Frozen that is basically a word-for-word retelling of the movie (we borrowed ours from the library). If any of your kids are Frozen fanatics (both of mine are), this is a great screen time alternative.
Are there any SAD lights that could also double as a light that would help improve lighting for video conferences? My husband needs both for his office and it would be great to buy one thing to conserve desk space, if possible. Does such a thing exist?
I decided for I’m going to gift everyone in our extended family gifts, ordered from local bookstores in their area. Which means I need to start doing that ordering now. I would love recommendations for ages 3, 6 (mediocre reader), and 10. What have yours been enjoying lately? Bonus points for stuff off the beaten track (decreases the likelihood they already have it).
My 6 yo is really into helping us cook. I’m going to get her the America’s test kitchen kids cookbook and baking book for xmas but was wondering what y’all do about letting your kid use knives. So far I’ve been letting her use our normal paring knives to chop vegetables with. I’m kind of inclined to let her keep using them, but I saw a set of plastic kid’s safety knives in an educational toy catalog and wasn’t sure if this was some kind of great invention that I should be letting her use.
If anyone’s around today, when did you feel like you got back to your pre-pregnancy endurance, if ever?
I started running again about 2x a week nearly 2 months ago now, and I still feel super weak. It feels more muscle fatigue than heart/lungs, but it just makes me dread running (which I used to love!), and then I get in my head and it’s a vicious cycle. I know it’s going to take me a while to get back to where I was after not running for close to a year, but it feels like such a slog.
Happy thanksgiving to fellow American mamas!
My kid was the only one at daycare today. When I dropped her off she looked at me and said “Where be my friends!?” I was already sad going into the “holiday” weekend and this was just a kick in the face I didn’t need.
Just wanted to wish all the US readers Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. May you find some rest and joy no matter what the celebration looks like. Stay safe. :)
