I know readers are big fans of faux-wrap dresses for pumping, so I set out to look for a faux-wrap top that looked pumping-friendly. These from Macy’s looked nice (and also machine washable), but of course I loved the color of this one from Chaus. The top is $49 at Amazon. Chaus Womens Long Sleeve … Read More about Pumping-Friendly and Washable: Long Sleeve Naive Flower Wrap Top
ASOS has a TON of maternity stuff on sale, including this simple, chic blouse. I like that it’s machine washable, modest (I hate how far too many maternity tops have too low of a neckline!) and it looks wearable in almost every season of the year. It was $60.64, but is now marked to $30.32 … Read More about Maternity Monday: V-Neck Mono Print Blouse
Happy Friday! Is everyone ready for the holidays yet? These great little heels look wearable and sleek — I like the cap toe and buckle detail, as well as the bit of gold on the heel. The 2.5″ heel is $85 at 6pm.com (available in three colors: gray, black, and beige “saddle”). Looks like stock is pretty low right … Read More about Finally Friday: Miko Pump
I’ve always seen these Skip Hop diaper bags on strollers, but only in bright colors – I love the limited edition bags in sophisticated prints. It doesn’t look like a diaper bag — and yet it looks totally functional and great. The three limited edition colors (a black, a blue, and a purple print) are … Read More about Everyone Thursday: ‘Duo – Special Edition’ Diaper Bag
Chadwicks has a line of travel knits that are machine washable, packable (which I read as “wrinkle resistant”), and very affordable. There are skirts, pants, even knit blazers in the line, but my favorite is this faux wrap top with side ruching — it looks like something I’d wear the heck out of on the weekend … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Travel Knit Cap Sleeve Wrap Top
This brand is new to me, but they have a number of cocktail party dresses for pregnant or nursing mothers, such as this stretchy jacquard dress. I like that it totally does not look like a nursing dress — the high neckline hides a “special easy zip opening” for nursing. Some of the other pieces … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Stretch Jacquard Nursing Dress
For the pregnant mamas (or those recently pregnant): what are your favorite warm pants for the office? Which silhouette is your favorite (skinny, straight, bootcut, trouser) for maternity style? I like the look of these peppered tweed trousers (60% wool), and the gray color and tweed texture, both of which make this the “fun” pant … Read More about Maternity Monday: Peppered Tweed Pleated Wide-Leg Trousers
Ooh: I love this slim clutch from Alexander Wang — and it has credit card slots, score. I love the crazy colors, texture, and sleek, “I am not carrying several pairs of pants, undies, and diapers, and enough snacks to feed a library story group” look to it. It’s $295 at ShopBop. Alexander Wang Embossed Prisma … Read More about Finally Friday: Embossed Prisma Flat Clutch
I love the color on this knit blazer. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but after becoming a mom I hated the idea that moms wear gray. Mom characters, mom brands, moms in yogurt commercials… it’s not cool. Briefly: a) we’re surrounded by joy, so gray doesn’t fit! b) we’re so so exhausted … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Three Quarter Sleeve Knit Blazer
I’m intrigued by this: a washable velvet sheath dress, with a lovely vintage vibe and pattern. It’s part of the great sale at Lands’ End today — regular priced items are 30% off, and clearance is up to 65% off — and free shipping on any order. With code BEST, this dress comes down to $97.30. … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Cap Sleeve Velvet Sheath Dress
When my first son, Jack, started solids, I got this book and cookbook on baby-led weaning — I really liked the idea that he could control how much or how little he ate without passively having someone shovel food into his mouth. It’s a great idea in theory, but I sometimes wonder if it contributed … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Baby-Led Weaning Book
Happy Green Monday! It’s another big day to save, as the Macy’s website so cheerfully puts it, and they’re having a pretty good web deal for them: take an extra 25% off, plus free shipping at $50 with code FRIEND. For today’s maternity pick, I’m liking this navy top with lace details — it seems … Read More about Maternity Monday: Flutter Sleeve Ruched Lace Trim Top
