Ooh: I love this cotton blend cardigan with all of its interesting, fun details. Love the peplum hem, the single button closure, and the diagonal stitches in the back, which I think would be super flattering. I’m a huge fan of the marled look, too, and I’m in love with all of these colors. I … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Marled Cable Cardigan
Washable Wednesday: Stripe Welt Pocket Sheath 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
Feeding Tuesday: Pima Button-Front Pin-Tucked Top
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
Maternity Monday: Boyfriend Maternity Jean
Most work places don’t “celebrate” Columbus Day. However, a lot of school districts — and many daycares — are closed today. Uh, hooray. So if you’re home (or working from home) today, let’s talk about maternity jeans. Which were your favorite? Nordstrom Rack has a bunch of designer ones on sale, and I like the … Read More about Maternity Monday: Boyfriend Maternity Jean
Finally Friday: Diaper Changing Clutch
I know a lot of moms who throw this kind of diaper changing clutch under their stroller, or in their backseat, and go — it’s great because it isn’t bulky, but gets the job done when you need it to. I like this gray trellis print the best, but all of them are pretty great. … Read More about Finally Friday: Diaper Changing Clutch
Everyone Thursday: Tweed One-Button Jacket
For Everyone Thursday (appropriate for pregnant, postpartum, and beyond), yes, I’ve chosen a non-maternity blazer — because, at least for my pregnancies, I could wear regular blazers (unbuttoned, sure) pretty much until I was ready to pop. I’m curious to hear what others think — are maternity blazers a waste of money? In any event: … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Tweed One-Button Jacket
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
