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
Washable Wednesday: Ponte Elbow Sleeve Dress with Pockets
This dress may not look like much, but Corporette readers have sung its praises for years. I own one myself (I’ll always remember that I was wearing it when we told my parents we were promoting Jack to big brother), and it’s very easy to wash and dry — and did I mention it has … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Ponte Elbow Sleeve Dress with Pockets
Nursing Tuesday: Nurse Purse
Hat tip to Corporette editor Kate, who found this fun nursing bag at Nordstrom. The idea behind it is that all of the breast pumps come with the same boring, basic black bag — wouldn’t it be great if there were something with a bit more personality and color? The bag is compatible with “most … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Nurse Purse
Maternity Monday: Maternity Tights
Hmmn: I am slightly alarmed (for you guys, at least) that my favorite pair of maternity tights — ASSETS by Sara Blakley — seems to be really hard to find right now. Amazon still has them, though, so stock up. Ladies, which are/were your favorite maternity tights? The tights are $18 (plus shipping, alas) at … Read More about Maternity Monday: Maternity Tights
Weekend Open Thread
Happy weekend! This time of the year always makes me happy for a purchase I made on a whim a few years ago: one of these woobee plush blankets from Rain or Shine Kids (I think I got it through Baby Steals). The blanket is plush on one side, and nylon on the other, and … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
Finally Friday: Tieks
Ballet flats aren’t my favorite, but even I’ve been lusting after the fun color combinations that Tieks offers — add in their reputation as extremely comfortable shoes, the signature blue sole, as well as the functionality (they’re foldable) and it sounds like a win win. The shoes are pricey, though — they range from $175-$295. … Read More about Finally Friday: Tieks
Everyone Thursday: Harlow Frontal Necklace
Happy Thursday! I like the simplicity of this necklace, as well as the option to wear it as tight or as loose around your neck as you like. The fact that it comes in eight colors speaks pretty highly of it, too. It was $195 but is now $156 at Nordstrom. Kendra Scott ‘Harlow’ Frontal Necklace
Washable Wednesday: Spotted Skirt Dress
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
Feeding Tuesday: Maternity and Nursing Twinkle Dress
This dress looks great for maternity, nursing, and even pumping. I like the dark, sedate colors, as well as the mostly glowing reviews. It’s $99-$109 at Amazon in sizes S-XL. Dote Women’s Maternity and Nursing Twinkle Dress
Maternity Monday: Jersey Shift 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
Finally Friday: Everygirl Tote
I love the more subdued, textured patterns and colors that LeSportsac is coming out with lately. Take, for example, this Everygirl tote, made out of their classic nylon. At 12.25″ x 7″ x 12″, it isn’t huge but strikes me as plenty big for all of your stuff and — in early days, at least — … Read More about Finally Friday: Everygirl Tote
Everyone Thursday: Drape Neck Zip Cardigan
When my first son was born I got obsessed with a terrycloth cardigan from Old Navy. (How obsessed? I am sorry to tell you that, in what I hope was a bout of postpartum hormones, I wore it to my 35th birthday party). Anyhoo: I’m on the hunt for a new one, and I like … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Drape Neck Zip Cardigan
