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
Feeding Tuesday: Baby Be Mine Sleeveless Maternity Nursing Nightgown
After I delivered my first son, I’ll admit it: I was just in the hospital gown for the entire stay. I heard the same from a lot of my friends — it can be a really overwhelming experience. As I prepared for my second son’s birth, though, I decided to buy this lovely nursing nightgown … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Baby Be Mine Sleeveless Maternity Nursing Nightgown
Maternity Monday: New Look Maternity Essentials Pack
I like the idea of this “maternity starter pack” — and I know I’ve seen similar but I’m blanking on where. For $76.15, this pack includes a maternity mini dress (probably more useful for work as a tunic top), jegging, legging, t-shirt, long-line camisole, and over-the-bump band (super helpful for those early weeks of pregnancy … Read More about Maternity Monday: New Look Maternity Essentials Pack
Finally Friday: Julianne Flat
I’ve often heard this shoe come up in discussions of comfortable flats over at Corporette, and it’s one of Zappos’ best sellers, so I thought I’d post a link. Mamas, do you prefer flats or low heels to other shoes? Did your preferences change after having kids? Zappos has the shoe in 7 colors for … Read More about Finally Friday: Julianne Flat
Everyone Thursday: Lucite – Imperial Noir Link Statement Necklace
I am seriously obsessed with Alexis Bittar’s new collection of lucite, labradorite, and gunmetal accents, and I’m loving this fabulous bib neklace. It’s wearable in pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond… it’ll fit you when nothing else will, and it’ll draw more attention to your face (and away from any bust/stain issues you may or may not … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Lucite – Imperial Noir Link Statement Necklace
Washable Wednesday: Knit Shirred Surplice Dress
Happy Hump Day! This dress comes with longer sleeves too, but something about the proportions of the short sleeves looks best to me here. I like the bright, happy colors it comes in (blue, green, pink, as well as navy, pictured), and the fact that it’s machine washable. It was $65, but is now marked … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Knit Shirred Surplice Dress
Feeding Tuesday: Spun Scarves by Subtle Luxury Bamboo Scarf
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: scarves can be great accessories when you’re breastfeeding, nursing, and beyond. Don’t fit into your regular clothes yet? Scarves help switch it up. Have to breastfeed your baby somewhere public? Pull out a regular scarf to help give you more coverage. Pumping at the office and got … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Spun Scarves by Subtle Luxury Bamboo Scarf
Maternity Monday: Jersey Wrap Dress
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
Finally Friday: Vera Bradley Baby Bag
I haven’t seen Vera Bradley’s black diaper bags before, but they look great — lightweight, functional, professional. Zappos also has this in a number of bright, happy colors which I’m guessing would do a great job of hiding stains. The bags are $138 at Zappos; Vera Bradley has a few other options at the brand’s … Read More about Finally Friday: Vera Bradley Baby Bag

I am generally a big fan of Three Dots, and this washable blazer looks like that great hybrid between a cardigan and blazer, and should be friendly in pregnancy, while nursing, and beyond. It’s available in sizes XS-XL at Bloomingdale’s for $238. Three Dots Open Front Blazer Psst: here’s a similar, budget-friendly option in red, … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Open Front Blazer

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
Pumping Tuesday: Wrap Dress
Corporette readers were talking the other day about pump-friendly clothes, and this wrap dress was mentioned. I’m generally a fan of black and white prints, and the three-quarter sleeves and A-line skirt look lovely. The dress is available in regular and petite sizes 00-16 for $140. WHBM Printed Wrap Dress Here’s a $39 version (in … Read More about Pumping Tuesday: Wrap Dress
