As we slowly head back to the office, a few transitional pieces to bridge the gap between sweatshirts and full suits might be in order.
Grey State’s Maya Blazer is an office-friendly blazer that’s secretly a sweatshirt. This relaxed jacket is made from a smooth and soft cotton and “made in a mill that is Oeko-Tex certified, so you rest assured that the chemicals used to treat the fabrics are not harmful to the environment.”
It has a traditional lapel that gives it a more professional look — along with its practical patch pockets for your hand sanitizer, you’ll be ready for those first steps back into the office.
The blazer is $154. It comes in Deep Black and Claret (a burgundy red), sizes 0/XS to 4/XL.
This blazer from Express is a more affordable option at $49.99 (originally $138, marked down to $99, with an additional 50% off at checkout) and is available in regular and petite sizes.

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?
I can’t believe it, but I’m thinking about a future where I might go to the office at some point. I need a new work bag. I keep getting ads for Portland Leather totes. They’re gorgeous but does anyone have personal experience? Do they weight 10 million pounds?
Kid brags? A new little girl started at my 3.5 year old’s nursery yesterday, it was her first fully day and by the end of the day, she was crying for her mum. T went and gave her a cuddle, sat with her on the sofa, reassured her that her mummy was coming, and then got a teacher to read them both stories. His teacher was emotional telling my husband about it. Sometimes the world feels quite crap, and it’s helpful to remember that one of our contributions can be raising really kind, empathetic kids.
I would love to hear from people who have transitioned from nanny to daycare with multiple kids. We have two kids and are likely going to transition to school/aftercare for the oldest and full day preschool for the youngest (age 3). I am so nervous about it because we both have pretty intense jobs, but it feels like the right call for us.
I am mainly nervous about both of us having to take more days off with school closures/sickness/etc, and especially with covid in the mix. For what it’s worth, I have a ton of flexibility (academia) so that’s not a stressor, but still have to get stuff done if I miss work.
Does anyone know how Polarn O Pyret sizing runs? I have a kiddo who is 92 cm so not sure to pick the 92 or size up to 98.
Recommendations for name labels for kids clothes? Prefer not ironing if at all possible. Thanks!
Reposting from yesterday: Suggestions for a probiotic for a gassy-at-night fourteen-month-old? We’re already doing yogurt every day but want to try this as well. TIA!
Hi all, soliciting recommendations for a pediatrician in DC, ideally in network with BCBS. We’re located around Takoma but are willing to hop across town if need be. LO is a little over a year old. We’ve been doing well child visits at Children’s National but would like to be somewhere with more consistency; the clinic at Children’s is staffed by residents who seem to rotate out quickly. Thanks!
I know I am late to this game, but help me get started with Instacart. Is there anything that I need to know before placing my first grocery order? How much do you tip the delivery person? Do they just drop it outside on your front porch/step/whatever?
Any recommendations for lightweight long pants that can be worn in the summer?
My younger son is refusing to wear shorts & it’s starting to get very warm. He’s very active outdoors during the day & will be this summer so I don’t want him getting overheated.
Finally have an appointment tomorrow to get evaluated for ADD (which I definitely have and have been diagnosed with multiple times throughout my life but it’s been over a decade since the last time sooo I have no record). I’ve been so fortunate to choose a niche-ish career where my chaotic brain and habits could thrive, but I’ve gotten promoted to the point where I have to get it together and do boring things like grant reports and budgets and I’ve gotten as far as I can in life with non-medication coping efforts. Fingers crossed for a solution.
