Maternity Tuesday: White Tops
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.
FYI, if you haven’t seen it, we did a major round-up of white tops for work (that aren’t basic t-shirts or blouses) over at Corporette, including a lot of representation for maternity tops. Even as someone who wears a lot of black, I love a good white top to spring-ify my wardrobe. Ladies who are pregnant: do you like the way white tops look with your maternity glow, or have you gravitated toward (or away from) white for other reasons? Moms with kids already: do you find you wear white less since having kids (too high maintenance), or more (because it’s easy, versatile, bleach-able, etc)? The Hunt: White Tops for Spring

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?
We’re expecting our second in about a month. Any suggestions for big sister books to help get our 2.5 yo ready? Any other suggestions for how to manage the transiton?
How often are you (parents) really having six? Strategies for getting in the mood and/or making more time to up the frequency? Strategies for managing an imbalance in drive? We have a 5 month old, and we probably have some kind of activity 1x every week or two. Very stereotypical, but husband is more interested than I am and feels we aren’t having enough. I’ve been very uninterested since I got pregnant, but am still having a hard time getting in the right mindset for it, which didn’t used to be as much of an issue. I think husband is waiting for things to go back to the way that they used to be, and I keep telling him to wait for another roadblock to disappear (wait until I’m physically healed from pushing a human out of my body, wait until I’m done nursing, wait until xyz…). Physically now, I do feel like I should be more or less fine, and it’s probably more of a mental space issue for me at this point.
My child is almost 18 months old…Why do I look so tired and haggard? How can I get out of this rut without spending a fortune?
I’ve had good luck with Old Navy maternity suits.
I need shoe recommendations for my toddler. Daycare demanded shoes one day, so I ran and bought some without much thought. I got the Stride Rite for Target hard sole shoes. She has outgrown them and I realized that hard sole probably is not the best idea at this age (18 months). So, now I am looking for a nicer pair – what do you recommend?
Maternity swimsuit ideas/thoughts? I’ll be in the 6-9 months pregnant range so pretty pregnant and I have a large chest!
White? Hahaha. I wore a white shirt last week and lived in fear the whole time. My coffee is just as much a danger as my kids, to be honest.
I had this series of moments around the time my daughter was 6 or 7 months old where I just thought I looked like complete crap. I was out of the hot-mess newborn phase, had lost the baby weight, but just did not look like myself. I was wearing ratty yoga pants with a sweatshirt one morning at Target and caught sight of myself in one of those mirror pillar things and just had this moment where I decided that for my own mental health I had to start dressing like my old self again.
I bought a bunch of ponte pencil skirts, got my silk shells out again, and bought white jeans. For me, wearing skirts and silk and white is part of who I am. I carry a tide pen with me everywhere, but having a toddler has not kept me from wearing white.
White isn’t my friend, pregnancy, kids, or no. I like the idea of it in theory, but I have a warm complexion that definitely needs “winter white” or more of an ivory, so it’s a process to find a white that flatters me. And then it gets stained almost immediately through my own clumsiness or my dirty kids. I do have a white sweater that I got on clearance recently for $15 and looooove. But if I’d paid any more for it, I’d be afraid to wear it (3 times so far with no stains. I put it on right before I walk out the door to work and take it off immediately when I get home).
I am going back to work from my maternity leave in a few weeks (as a lawyer) and just found out that my assistant (who I have been with for 4 years and is amazing) is transitioning to a new role. Complete first world problem but I am so sad about it!!! Just posting here to vent because I’m sure many of you know how important it is to have a great assistant!
