My closet is full of Uniqlo — I’ve always been a huge fan of their Heattech and AIRism lines, and lately, I’ve added a number of their 3D Knits to my wardrobe.
Uniqlo’s 3D Knits are knitted without seams for a unique and sleek look. While wearing one, I’ve actually had people stop and ask me about my sweater.
While Uniqlo has a wide range of 3D Knit styles to choose from, Ines de la Fressange’s rendition of the 3D Knit Short-Sleeve Dress is perfect for spring — this fit-and-flare dress is made from lightweight cotton and features a very on-trend polo collar.
It also comes in three office-friendly and versatile colors (black, beige, and navy) — just add a silk scarf or statement necklace and you’re ready to go!
The dress is $49.90 and available in XXS–XL.

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?
My gripe of the day: Primary’s execution leaves a lot to be desired sometimes. I am ready to stock up on plain tank tops for summer. The only ones in stock are in black and white. I feel like whenever I want to build my own bundle and make a big order, there are always missing key sizes or colors. I truly wish they could figure it out already.
My daycare has the weirdest Covid protocols. They announced they were using disposable silverware and plates only, which I guess is to avoid a teacher having to touch kids dirty plates to load them into a dishwasher? Seems like they could just wear gloves and then throw the gloves away and it would be NBD but whatever. But I just got a photo of my kid using a real spoon and fork but a paper plate and cup. If they can have real cutlery, why can’t they have real plates? It doesn’t matter (except for the poor environment) and I’m amused more than anything else, but it’s all so ridiculous.
yesterday’s summer sandals discussion. people said keens hold up to scootering – do natives?
Anyone else have no prospects for getting vaccinated until it’s available to the general public? I’m feeling like I’m the only one left. Things are starting to go back to normal in our area (no to mention our workplaces) and we just — aren’t there yet.
so i suppose it’s good that my kids are more aware of their surroundings, but last night my soon to be three year old twins told me that it wasn’t bedtime yet because it was still light out…what do you tell your kids in the summer? last year they either didn’t notice or didn’t have the words to verbalize
Design question for you all today – does anyone have a kitchen table in the middle of their kitchen versus an island? We’re thinking of renovating our kitchen to add a sitting area off of it, but we’d be getting rid of the breakfast table area. Would like somewhere to eat in there that isn’t counter height (3 young kids) so kitchen table seems to make sense. But we’d be losing a lot of functionality. Curious if anyone else has this set-up – do you use the table for kitchen prep too? Will things just pile up on it like they do an island? I’m not really sure!
Got my vaccine appointment for next week! Work question: should I tell my team, in case I have side effects and need to take the afternoon or next day off? Or should I just wait and see?
For those who have gotten the vaccine – how did you qualify? I am technically qualified both from health standpoint and the nature of my job (involved in production of vaccines/medical devices), but since I wfh I don’t want to “take” a spot from someone.
DH and I received our first vaccines a few days ago! I’m incredibly excited about some sort of return to normal in the coming months, but I’m trying to figure out how to balance that with the fact that my young kids won’t be vaccinated. We’ve been pretty locked down for the last year, other than childcare and an occasional trip to an uncrowded park, and so far we have been very lucky to not get COVID. Once DH and I are fully vaccinated, I’d love to travel to see family and for fun, eat out at restaurants, take my kids to the zoo, etc., but I don’t want to unnecessarily put my kids at risk. What do you plan to do?
Completely Agree.
Would you sign your child up for the Moderna vaccine trial? They are now signing up ages ages 6-11 for a phase 2 trial. I understand that volunteers are needed or else there will not be a vaccine available. I regret not volunteering during the earlier vaccine trials. Yet, it is my child and if something were to go wrong, it would be my fault. He is not old enough to have an informed opinion or consent.
But asking here because of scared of the main s1te.
How do you psych yourself up to have an intern? All I can think is that they are extra work. The entire recruiting process just felt like a time suck, the lowest of my priorities, etc even though I know I’m offering this great opportunity to a young person. I am giving them a project I genuinely want to get done. But it just feels like a nuisance, since they’ll require so much babysitting. Any tips? I’ve had interns before, and many of them have done really well and not needed much guidance, but for some reason it still just feels like something “extra” that I’m resentful of.
Clearly, I did not want this intern. My boss put it through while I was on maternity leave and unable to object. I’m sure it was on his inclusion and development goals or something and he delegated it to me. yay.
My baby will be starting daycare next month when I return from maternity leave. She will be 12 weeks. We are choosing daycare even though both our moms have volunteered to care for her because she got into a really good daycare and I like the idea of professionals working with her to reach developmental milestones and to help establish consistency. My mom is telling me she’s too small for daycare. Should I reconsider? My gut is telling me daycare but I think a combo of new parent anxiety and PPD is making me obsess over everything.
