It always happens: a site is having a great sale, and I find one of the few pieces that ISN’T on sale… sigh. Fortunately, this dress is pretty affordable to begin with at $129, and I like the dark brown pattern — it almost has a tweed/crosshatch effect going on, which is quite nice. I … Read More about Washable Wednesday: City Jersey Printed Dress
Let’s ignore the fact, for the moment, that this is my very favorite color, and focus instead on all the other great stuff this top has going for it. It can be worn in both maternity and while nursing (and even if pumping, I suspect). It looks super cozy and warm, but still professional and … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Avebury Nursing Top
Eileen Fisher is another brand that, I’m learning, has an entire line of washable items marketed as such. This jersey shift dress looks simple but, I suspect, is well made enough that it’ll hold up well for quite some time, which hopefully makes up for the fact that they’re all a bit pricier than your … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Sleeveless Jersey Shift Dress
We’ve mentioned this popular sheath dress before, but I like the fun stripey version, available in green and brown, a fun black-and-white abstract pattern, and even a few fun patterns. It’s well priced, available in plus sizes, petites, and talls, and machine washable. Score. The pictured version is $79, full price. Lands’ End Stripe Welt … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Stripe Welt Pocket Sheath Dress
Button-front shirts are classics for pumping. However, in addition to the possibility of gaping problems, button-fronts can be difficult to care for — and the iron-free versions may be treated with chemicals (formaldehyde, etc.) that you want to avoid while you’re in the pregnancy corridor and around babies. I like the look of these pin-tucked, … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Pima Button-Front Pin-Tucked Top
Is your winter coat washable? Have you otherwise changed your coat preferences after kids? We’ve talked about how to buy a great winter coat on Corporette, but we haven’t talked about how that changes once you’ve had kids. Reader L wrote in, noting: I love the Washable Wednesday feature! These days, machine washable is the … Read More about The Hunt: Washable Winter Coats
Loft has a number of cute things lately, including this spotted skirt dress, which is that rare mix of fun and sophisticated. I like the dark colors, the modest hem and high neckline — I think it would look great with knee-high boots and a chunky cardigan on a casual day, or a blazer and … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Spotted Skirt Dress
Old Navy is having a maternity sale (prices up to 40% off) through October 1, and I like a lot of what I see in there. This jersey shift dress (pictured) looks chic, and I like that it’s machine washable — it was $33 but is now marked to $30, available in sizes XS-XXL. I … Read More about Maternity Monday: Jersey Shift Dress
I always forget about this, but Jones New York has an entire line of machine washable suit separates. I like this pinstriped fit and flare dress, available at Macy’s in sizes 2-16 — it looks comfortable, flattering, and professional. It was $139, but is now marked to $118; Jones New York has it for $109. … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Black Pinstripe Sleeveless Fit and Flare Dress
L, a pregnant reader, wrote in to recommend this piece: “I thought I would share with you a great blazer I just got at Target. The tailoring is really nice, it’s washable, and you can’t beat the price! I think it fit true to size and looks like I paid a lot more than I … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Merona Tailored Ponte Blazer
I never splurged on Rosie Pope dresses during my pregnancies, but this wrap dress looks like a great basic for work, and I like that “wash cold” laundering instruction. It even looks like it could be a great option for pumping and for the postpartum period (when you may or may not fit into your regular clothes). It’s … Read More about Maternity Monday: Jersey Wrap Dress
I’m not familiar with the brand, but I’ve noticed a number of cute dresses explicitly billed as “washable” in the name. This cute sheath dress comes in sizes 4-18, and is available exclusively at Dillard’s for $139. Alex Marie Lucie Washable Dress
