This jacket from BB Dakota comes in a lot of colorways, and I have always liked this look. It’s certainly affordable — generally under $100 — and this one’s hand wash cold rather than dry clean, so it’s mom-friendly. This version is even sold at Evereve, which is a whole store specializing in clothes for moms. It looks chic and wearable, whether you’ve got small kids or big kids, and I even like the camel color. The jacket was $115 but is now marked down to $80 at Evereve, and it comes in sizes XS-L. Pictured: Nanette Suede Jacket (other colors here, here, and here)
Two plus-size options are here and here.

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?
Any recommended payroll services? We are planning on hiring a housekeeper as a cleaning service has been unwilling to be flexible with our circumstances, but payroll services are causing me to reconsider this decision
What do you guys give daycare teachers for Teacher Appreciation week? For reference, my son is 8 months and has 2 regular teachers and 2 “flex” teachers. I gave gift cards to Target and chocolate at Christmas. If I give gift cards again, do I give less than at Christmas? Same amount? Is it tacky to give to the same place?? Help me here!
Can you provide a bit more detail about the moves? Will his daycare stay the same? Two moves this summer and another move next year? Are all the moves in the same city or are they to different places? Is there a way to do just one move this summer and another move next summer? Try to keep his childcare situation as stable as possible in this period, and be prepared for lots of questions. We painted our daughter’s room in the new house, the exact same color as in the old house. We even let her ‘help’ with the painting. I strongly recommend doing that if possible. If possible, keep ‘his’ furniture the same – crib or bed, highchair, playpen, car seat/stroller consistent across all the moves. We moved our daughter out of her crib about six months after the move. I think having her familiar crib to go to at right really helped her. I would ask at your local library for books about moving. They may have some ideas and you can take a bunch out to read yourself and find what works best to read with your child.
Does anyone have recommendations for a book on moving house for a two year old? We are entering into a somewhat complicated multiple-move situation (like moving twice this summer, and then likely again in about a year from now) and I think a book that could help easy the (many) transitions I am anticipating. On that front – any other tips for preparing/not preparing a young two year old to move? His teachers at daycare advised not telling him until right before the move but starting to read books.
In terms of toys, my almost 2-year old is into puzzles, blocks, her play kitchen, and books. She also enjoys her radio flyer wagon (it’s really a walker, but she likes to push it around and put things in it, and also sit in it). We’re giving her a scooter for her birthday. I’m considering getting a balance bike for her. I think my daughter may be a little young for both the scooter and the balance bike, in part because she is very cautious, but if your daughter is very active, those could be good finds.
I’m going to an extremely large consignment sale tomorrow. I have a 1.5 year old daughter. Please list your suggestions on things I ought to consider purchasing for the next year.
Despite being apprehensive the day before, I had a great ‘solo’ few days away. I did miss my daughter quite a bit, but also enjoyed not having to be responsible for anyone but myself for a few days!
Question for someone who has a better memory than I do — can anyone point me to a past discussion on how daily and weekly responsibilities/duties are split with partners? We’ve been flying by the seats of our pants and that’s been leading to resentment and disorganization, so I’m trying to put some structure on things. I know there have been several, and I’d rather not recreate the wheel (unless other people want to!).
Thanks!
I just…shouldn’t have got out of bed today. 2-year-old woke up at 3.30am and needed a snack (he was legitimately hungry because he barely touched dinner), woke up at 5.30 and would sleep only ON me, and then woke up late at 7.45 and we had to hustle him out of the house. I thought I forgot my umbrella, only to find it stuffed in the bottom of the stroller. I was three minutes late to a conference call…for which my headphones didn’t work at all. Is it 5pm yet?
