Am I the only one who, in winter, has been known to take my scarf off and add it as another layer to my child’s bunting? For a long time I used to keep a very thin cashmere scarf in my diaper bag anyway, just for that very reason — I even used to pull … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Wool Cashmere Blend Wrap
The Nordstrom Clearance Sale has started, and there are some great pieces. This morning’s washable find: these highly rated ponte pants from Eileen Fisher. The bad news here is that there are very limited sizes, unless you’re a petite — but there’s a highly rated pencil skirt and slim pants, both machine washable as well. … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Straight Leg Ponte Pants
As I’ve mentioned before, I think every nursing mom needs at least one or two proper “nursing tops.” They should be functional from the dual purpose of a) letting you feed your child b) without exposing your entire breast and/or belly to the world. It’s a bonus if it looks cute with jeans, trousers, skirts, … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Mama Scoop Cowl Neck
This jersey dress from Mamalicious looks great for work — comfortable, functional both before and after pregnancy, and also professional — love the high neckline and long sleeves. It’s $65.40 at ASOS. Mamalicious Nursing Wrap Front Dress
Oooh, nice: I like these low pumps from Charles David. The heel is only 1.75″, they have 15 mostly positive reviews, and they come in 7 colors, including this wine leather (you know I love a purple pump) and a lovely bright cobalt. They’re 50% off at Nordstrom — were $200, now $99. Charles David … Read More about Finally Friday: ‘Damian’ Pump
Banana Republic has a number of soft blazers in stock right now, but this soft blazer looks like it has promise to be that great basic black blazer to go with everything. It’s available in regular, tall and petite sizes, and is full price at $150 — but with code BRSOME it comes down to … Read More about Everyone Thursday: One Button Soft Blazer
Neiman Marcus is having some crazy sales right now — lots of nice brands marked down to mall store prices. This draped V-neck top doesn’t explicitly say it’s machine washable, but I’d be shocked if it weren’t — all of my Three Dots jersey pieces are. They’re soft and just a bit more lux than … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Drape Front V-Neck Top
Here’s my $.02: even if you’re nursing or pumping for a year, you should have a new bra that fits you well, even if it’s only for date nights or the occasional outing where you really want to look good in clothes. (I always found nursing bras easier to wear with pumping, but I know … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Time for a New Bra
Every pregnant woman gains weight differently — for me personally, I could wear my regular blazers up until almost the very end of my pregnancy (week 34 or so), beyond which point I think all people give you a pass if you’re ONLY wearing a dress or a sweater or the like. This is a … Read More about Maternity Monday: Selby Maternity Blazer
Crossbody purses are hot right now, and they can be great for moms used to toting around MUCH larger bags, because you can keep your personal items in there (e.g., money, lipstick, phone), then grab it and go if you don’t need the larger bag. I like this highly rated Halogen crossbody clutch; readers at … Read More about Finally Friday: Crossbody Clutch
Gorgeous! I always like a big necklace for maternity/nursing (takes the focus off your chest!), and I’ve found they can be a really easy way to add some polish to a simple outfit (even if you have to put the necklace on when you get to work because your kiddos grab at it when you’re … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Stone Collar Necklace
Ladies, what are your favorite brands for washable trousers? I always used to like the Gap washable trousers, but online the reviews suggest that they’re really hit or miss of late. These NYDJ stretch trousers are very highly rated, but mostly by older women — but then that is their demographic (NYDJ does stand for … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Straight Leg Trousers
