It’s tweed season! If you’re in the market for an easy-care version that works for both the office and upcoming holiday parties, consider this one from Ann Taylor.
This polished jacket has a collarless V-neck, double-breasted front, and fringed finish. The red and black weave is easy to wear.
For the office, just add your favorite black trousers and top. For a party, I would add some sparkly jewelry and strappy black heels.
The Long V-Neck Jacket in Tweed is $219 full price — but now on sale for $116! — and comes in sizes 00-18 as well as petites.

Has anyone here moved towns/cities to access a better public school system? The public school system in my town is in major budget crisis and I’m discouraged by what I’m seeing and learning about the management of the system. My oldest child is in kindergarten. We have not considered private school because of cost and because my husband and I are generally in favor of public education. We love our house, neighborhood, and community. However, the present school issues have me very concerned.
Are long blazers in style now? Everything I see is cropped
Looking for vacation recommendation ideas for between Christmas and New Year’s. Two young kids 6 and 2 and two adults. We live in the mid-Atlantic, and I would prefer within driving distance. Thanks!
How annoyed would you be about this? DH thinks it’s nbd but it’s been a couple of weeks and I still find myself thinking about it.
My lovely friends still up a meal train for DH and me after our baby was born. I have only one food aversion: let’s call it Brussels sprouts. My mother forced me to eat it and it was always a huge fight. I can’t stand even the smell now; my whole body tenses like I’m anticipating violence, which makes sense because that’s what happened to me for 16 years. I told everyone no Brussels sprouts please before they prepared anything and it was on the meal train link.
One friend, let’s call her Ann, has always thought my food aversion is ridiculous. She’s told me that she’ll make Brussels sprouts for me some day and I’ll love them. I’ve told her that it’s a childhood trauma thing and no matter how delicious her dish might be, I can’t do it.
You can guess where this is going. Ann signs up to drop off dinner. As she’s on her way, over an hour later than expected, she informs me that she and her husband will stay and have dinner with us (no one else did this btw). At that time, DH and I were sleeping in shifts and I needed to go to bed, so I told them sorry we already ate and I need to sleep so we can’t have company rn. She drops off dinner and goes on her way. The dinner is a stir fry with shredded Brussels sprouts throughout, so it’s not like you can even pick them out.
I don’t know how to take this. I thought it was weird that she invited herself to eat with us. And then to see the dish is full of Brussels sprouts… did she want to make sure I ate it? Or make it awkward if I refused? DH thinks she probably just forgot I hate Brussels sprouts. I’m not going to confront Ann or anything, but I kind of want to distance myself from her after this. Is it just postpartum brain?
Is anyone affected by the Byheart formula recall? We used it temporarily last spring and we have some of the packets now that fortunately we didn’t use. So scary.
My beloved low top Converse are too narrow in the toe box. Any recommendations for a similar style, more appropriate for duck feet? I really prefer a low profile shoe and don’t require a ton of padding.
What do I wear when I return to work from maternity leave? I mainly need bras and work appropriate pants including jeans. I think I can muddle through winter with sweaters or blazers l, so I’m set with tops.
I’m working on weaning because I’m exclusively pumping; I’m down to 2 pumps a day so I won’t have to pump at work. I only have 1 pumping bra that fits right/is comfortable, and it was expensive. I’ll get resized once I stop lactating, but what do I wear until then?
And pants/jeans… ugh. We’re a business casual office but people wear crisp jeans and a button down or blouse, for example. I have a pair of Eileen Fisher pull on work pants that will be great, but that’s pretty much all I’ve got rn. My maternity pants are too big, regular pants are too small. Help?
