Washable Workwear Wednesday: Cupro Wrap Trousers
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
I’ve recommended a multitude of wrap tops and wrap dresses on this site, but this is a first for me: wrap pants! I think if you’re bored of the basic trouser and want to add interest, this is a fun way. Personally, I let my tops/jewelry do the talking but always appreciate seeing bottoms that are interesting and unique. The major upside to these seem to be the elastic waistband and the fact that they are pull-on — the wrap is solely decorative. Also, the single review mentions that these pants have pockets, which I always appreciate. They are available at Anthropologie for $120 in regular and petite sizes XXS–XL in the pictured black as well as blue and olive green. Cupro Wrap Trousers
For a washable option in plus sizes, try these pants at Eloquii, available up to size 28.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Not to be rude, but this does not look flattering to me at all. It screams “mom pants” in all the ways that that’s an insult.
Looks like this is shaping into yet another year where I barely update my well-worn wardrobe, because everything that’s stylish now is just so darn ugly.
Returning to work in a couple of weeks after 20 weeks of maternity. My husband will be home with baby for his leave, which will make the transition a lot easier, but I’m still really really dreading it. Baby’s not sleeping thru the night yet and is exclusively breastfed, but on good nights we’re just up once for a quick feed. Still, I’m tired. Bad nights are…well, bad.
Looking for all and any advice. Especially practical tips for managing schedules, pumping at work, etc. I think my mantra is just going to be “this will get easier,” because I know at first I’m going to be super sad.
I think I’m just looking for a place to complain. I am 20 weeks pregnant with the flu, and our 2yr old also has the flu (DH had it last week). Yes we all got our flu shots. Toddler is recovering while I’m taking a little longer due to the pregnancy. But good god taking care of a child while im pregnant with the flu is probably the worst/hardest thing I’ve done. I’d sooner have another baby (on top of the one in my belly).
Both my kid and my doctor asked me today if I’m having more babies. NO, NO, I AM NOT. I am 38, already have two kids that push me to my limits, and pregnancy is hard. Youngest is four and I’m not up for starting over. Sometimes it makes me sad that I’m not destined to have a big family, but mostly I am glad that our family is complete.
Parents of school-aged kids — would love to hear from you if you have enrolled your kids in private school, your reasons for doing so, and if you have been happy with the decision.
We currently live in a neighborhood that we love and that we can afford. Unfortunately, the public elementary schools are not good and we would not enroll our kids there. This is not an outside assessment, this is based on talking with many many families who have their kids at the school and are looking to leave. The middle school is much better and we would feel comfortable enrolling our kids there ultimately.
We are considering applying to private elementary school for our 2 kids in our city, which ends up being 60k a year (that is all in, including aftercare, summer camp, etc.). While that is a lot of money, if we were to move to another city in the area with good public schools, the houses are so so expensive. Like 2 or even 3 times what we have now. The idea is that we would then transition to the public middle school when the time comes.
The other reason we are leaning private is that our older kid is really really bright and we have been led to believe that a private school would do a better job of challenging him and offering differentiation (again, this is based on talking to parents at both local public and private schools, but in the end — who knows). Would love to hear feedback from anyone who might be in a similar situation.
Thoughts? I am a public school kid and had always wanted the same for my kids, but we’re in an interesting predicament where it seems more expensive to have our kids go to public school than private!
How do you initiate the emotional labor discussion with your partner? By all outside observations, my husband is a very involved parent but he does almost none of the emotional labor. I plan, schedule, coordinate everything. “We” keep a shared google calendar and a white board command center calendar in the kitchen, yet he asks me repeatedly what our plans are for the weekend or what time something starts. I have recently been pushing back on being his calendar. For example this weekend my daughter had a school event and after the third time he asked me what time it starts, I told him that he receives the same school emails that I do and I don’t have any special powers to remember the time better than he does. Definitely wasn’t my finest response and basically started a small argument between us, but I don’t know how to explain to him that I need him to meet me half way on this stuff. He really feels like he and I do the same amount of family stuff and I don’t feel the same.
My LO is starting to eat more solids and we need to get baby/toddler friendly bowls, plates, cups, etc. I’ve been trying to actively reduce plastics in all areas of my life but not sure how to be eco-friendly here. Is this one where I need to just bite the bullet and realize plastic is necessary? Does anyone have suggestions for good kids tablewear (plastic or otherwise)?
Inspired by some of the plastics threads on the main page…I would love to be better about reducing our plastic use. I’ve made a fairly good first step aimed at single use plastics. But I still heavily rely on plastic, reusable food storage containers. I do much better with glass/Pyrex for foods that will be stored in my fridge and don’t leave the house. But for transporting a sandwich to work or kiddo’s snacks all over, plastic is just easier than glass. It’s lighter and not breakable. What are some alternatives to plastic besides glass? Thank you!
Taking my 5.5 and 3 (well 2.99999- free ticket!!) y/os to Disney in a couple weeks. Staying off side. We plan to do parks for 3 days and have 2 other non park days.
Last time we went, Kids were not quite 4 and not quite 1. We did a day in magic kingdom mostly just looking at stuff and meeting princesses.
So far only plan is to take older kiddo on Splash Mountain.
Which parks would you do over 3 days? Any parades or light shows or whatever that we should plan around? I am not doing the bibbity boutique but I am letting them pack a princess costume (we have about 15 to choose from!). They both love Moana but it looks like she’s not at *any* park to meet. They don’t care enough about characters that we are planning to do a meal or anything-is that awful? If they had a Moana meal/sail/meetup I’d be all over it.
Just remember that daylight savings is this weekend. Is there something I should be doing now to make the adjustment easier on my 20-mo-old? Or do I just plan for a cranky toddler all next week?
We want to take our two kids to Disney this year — aiming for May or June, given work schedules. Are there any big advantages (or disadvantages) of either month? We’re leaning toward staying in the park.
I’d also love recommendations for a preschooler and an elementary-age kid. Son is a Harry Potter fanatic; used to love Star Wars but his interest has waned. He doesn’t like scary rides. Daughter is princess obsessed and would freak if she met Elsa, Belle, or Tiana.
