L, a pregnant reader, wrote in to recommend this piece: “I thought I would share with you a great blazer I just got at Target. The tailoring is really nice, it’s washable, and you can’t beat the price! I think it fit true to size and looks like I paid a lot more than I actually did.” Congratulations, L — and thank you for sharing! Readers, have you bought any great washable pieces lately? The blazer is $29.99 at Target (online only), available in four colors and sizes XXS-XL, as well as petites and plus sizes (reduced to $15 and $17, respectively). Merona Tailored Ponte Blazer

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?
So today my youngest son transitions from the older babies’ room at his daycare to the 1 year+ toddler room. Not a huge deal, but I’ve spent the day wondering where in the world the past year went and how my baby became a toddler.
I had my first ultrasound yesterday and thank God all is well. :) It was amazing to see the little heartbeat, I felt very emotional and so did my husband! It’s all I can think about now which is NOT helping my productivity at all. :-\
I have a $200 credit at Nordstrom’s that I need to spend by November. I just found out that I’m pregnant, so I’ll be finishing up my first trimester around that time and I imagine I won’t look particularly pregnant. What types of items should I be looking for that might carry into the next few months/post-partum?
I have this blazer – I can testify that for the price, it is actually pretty great. In the dark the other day I was feeling around in my closet and I confused this one with a much more expensive blazer – it doesn’t feel excessively polyester-y at all! I actually have the skirt in the picture too, lol. I find that if you treat cheap-o Target finds like this as nicely as you would ‘real’ clothes they wear pretty well – delicate wash, line dry, hang up immediately after wearing, etc. I’ve seen minimal pilling on this blazer and the skirt.
now a TJ: Question for you ladies about TTC – how long did you wait after going off BCP before trying? My doctor said it’s actually fine to start trying right away, but I’m worried after almost ten years on BCP things won’t go back to normal right away?
