Washable Workwear Wednesday: The Cardigan Dress

I’ve been a follower of Jean Wang’s blog, Extra Petite, for ages and was so excited when she launched her own line.
This petite, knee-length cardigan dress works both as a dress and a longline/duster cardigan. This sleek and polished piece can be worn on its own (swap out the included sash tie belt for one of your own for a different look) or layered with your favorite tee and leggings for lounging.
The soft and stretchy knit fabric is also bump-friendly (and the button-front makes it nursing/pumping friendly as well).
The Cardigan Dress from Edited Pieces is $148 and available in sizes XXS–XL.

What product do you all use to prevent toddlers from opening your front door or any exterior access door? My 3.5 year old can now unlock and open our front and back doors. Help!
I am struggling big time with the shooting in Highland Park. Outside of living about 5 miles north of there in my late 20s, so I feel a strong connection to this shooting more than others in the news recently, I have a toddler daughter and the story about Aiden McCarthy is just absolutely breaking me. I can’t focus on anything else right now. Do I cry and wallow and move past it? Right now I’m trying just not to think about it but that’s not working, obviously.
What are your criteria for getting rid of kids’ books? We are a family of avid readers and book buyers and our bookshelves are an overgrown cluttered mess. How do you decide what books have sentimental value that warrant keeping them? How do you decide what to keep, donate, or toss?
I forget if we’ve talked about this article here: The Harsh Realm of Gentle Parenting. I like the idea of Lansbury and gentle parenting and validating kids’ feelings v. just ignoring them or telling them to stop crying, but at the same time, kids often act like brats and validating feelings doesn’t always stop bad behavior. And as always, with this method, it seems like parents’ needs and feelings are put last. And sometimes we do need to just leave the house.

Hi lady – I’ve thought of you often. How are you, and how did the talk go with your husband?
My newly 4 year old struggles with perfectionism. She doesn’t want to try things if she thinks she won’t be good at them. Apparently, she didn’t want to participate in a race at camp, because she thought she wouldn’t be good. Any suggestions on how to work on her perfectionism and get her to try things? Thanks!
Speaking of vacation… any all inclusive resorts in the northeast (reasonable driving distance from NYC) that are toddler friendly? Would like to get away but don’t want to fly all the way to Mexico or the Caribbean. Do these exist here?
We have had two failed FETs this year. Got the negative pregnancy test for our last embryo yesterday. We have a beautiful toddler and I think we are going to be one and done.
Take the vacation. A real one.
I’m currently on an honest to goodness real vacation. Checking email for 15 minutes once a day and directed the mission critical people to text my personal phone if anything blows up… but like… I’m currently sitting on a porch by the water downloading a new book on my kindle and reading on here and the main page.
And for the first time in a long time, I don’t feel burned out. 10/10. Take the relaxing trip.
