Washable Workwear Wednesday: Hampshire Bootcut Pants

These washable pants from Boden caught my eye because they are my favorite type of bootcut. They’re somewhat high in the waist (described as sitting at your natural waist) and fitted through the leg with a bottom opening somewhere in between a straight leg and a bootcut. I love how they look styled with the heels, and you can get a better idea of the opening in the version styled with the sneakers. I like how they balance out a slimmer top — and of course, a million bonus points for being ponte. They are $98 and available in navy and black in petite, regular, and long sizes up to 18.

For plus sizes, try this ponte bootcut from NYDJ at Zappos for $83 on sale.

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?
anyone have recommendations for flowy/ roomy linen or cotton/gauze dresses they love? trying to find some easy summer looks for weekends and my very casual office. example – i love the miranda bennett “everyday dress” but it is too expensive for me right now so other ideas like that? thanks!
On the subject of Boden, do they ever re-stock styles? I am obsessed with a pair of pants from 4-5 years ago, and have checked periodically to see if they carry them again, and they haven’t. My beloved pair is getting a hole in them. At this point it feels unlikely I’d see them on ebay or poshmark new.
How do you manage stains on kid’s clothes? Judging by his attire, my son plays outside in the mud all day and then rolls around in his lunch and I’m struggling to stay on top of it. Do you embrace the stains? Have some sort of secret chemical? I know some staining is normal but I hate dressing him in stained clothes and pass my hand-me-downs to a friend who fosters and I’d really like things to be in as good as condition as they can be for kids who show up with nothing.
Has anyone recently purchased any cute tops? The flowy style is really not flattering to me so I am looking for tops that are either tailored or rather close-fitting. TIA!
Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my post about my daughter having issues making a mess when she goes #1 (avoiding moderation!).
We tried a combo of everything—sitting far back on the seat, legs slightly apart, leaning forward. It worked!
Has anyone found herself in a cycle of sort of screwing up at work? I feel like every time I turn around the past few weeks, I have screwed something up on a case with this specific supervisor. In reality, I know that I am doing a lot right and also that I am juggling a lot but I can’t help but feel like this supervisor thinks I am constantly messing things up…
Need to vent…had my 8 week OB / pregnancy confirmation ultrasound appointment yesterday. The OB doing the ultrasound said the sac looked smaller than 8 weeks and wasn’t growing right. Likely a chromosomal issue, so I began crying. He then called in his ultrasound tech and moved me to a newer machine….she found the baby, said it’s right on track and heard the heartbeat. This is great, what I wanted! But all afternoon I couldn’t stop being sad about the almost miscarriage. I realize how lucky we are, but just felt genuinely sad about it. Not sure what I’m looking for…just needed to share since we haven’t told anyone IRL yet…
a good friend of mine just had her divorce finalized. it was years of deciding and waiting so this is one that calls for celebration. any suggestions on good gifts? she lives in another state.
My daughter has her first ballet recital pictures tonight. Her class is ages 3-5. Should I put her in makeup? Just a little lipstick or do I do more? Recommendations?
Ok real talk – how much fast food does your toddler/preschooler get? We get our daughter (2 years old) McDonalds or Chic Fil A once a week. Her other 20 meals during the week are home-cooked by me, and 90% healthy, because we don’t eat out much to save money. She’s a good eater and loves veggies/fruit/whole grains/beans/etc… Also tries new things and will eat Indian/Thai/middle eastern food. She also likes sweets but obviously those are limited by us. Is once a week too much? Should I pull back to once a month? I know some families who literally never get fast food.
My answer is, more than I would like. 2-3 times a week, we’re at Chick-Fil-A (called the Rooster Store in our house so DD doesn’t hear it and demand it) or Panera or Chipotle. I worry worry worry about the kids’ sodium and sugar intake, especially because they get fed at daycare, and I know that the vegetables and fruit are coming from a can. On the other hand, I don’t have to worry about lunch 5 days a week, they’re getting a fruit and veg with every lunch, and they’re eating things that I don’t make/wouldn’t expose them to at home (bc of my own dietary dislikes.)
I like the mantra, “listen, feed your kid.”
