WFH Friday: Mongolian Cashmere Sweatpants
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.
Over the last year and a half, I’ve gradually upgraded my wardrobe. But, instead of designer bags and tailored suits, I’ve added pima cotton tees and lots of cashmere. These cashmere sweatpants are next on my list. They’re made from 100% Grade A Mongolian cashmere and come in five go-with-anything colors. There’s even a matching hoodie if you want to wrap yourself in the coziness of a full-body cashmere sweatsuit.
Best of all (as with all of Quince’s “high quality, radically lower price” products), you can’t beat the quality and price.
These cashmere sweatpants are on sale for $89.90 at Quince and come in sizes XS–XL.

- 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?
What helps you break out of a funk? Me:
– ordering food
– listing things I’m grateful for
– watching apocalyptic tv
– hot shower and outfit change
– tidying up a little
Recommendations for books or other techniques to figure out what you want to do when you grow up? (to be clear, I’m 40…haha). After being a litigator for 11 years I think I am done with this. But, need to figure out what to do next and don’t really know where to start.
I just wanted to share a delightful older kids win – we have a day off of school for parent teacher meetings and invited two kids over for a playdate. They are all playing outside peacefully practicing soccer/whiffle ball/four-square while my husband and I work (I’m supervising from the kitchen table in case of emergency). I dreamed of this level of unsupervised play when they were little and it is SO SO great to be able to get in actual work while school is off instead of frantic triage all day and playing catch up at night.
Also SUPER grateful for the warm fall we are having as outdoor playdates are still the norm with the under 12-set not being vaxxed yet.
Suggestions for a lego table for a kinder age kid? The kidcraft one looks small – I’d love to have a specifc corner for doing legos and a table seems like it might be a double win (y’all tell me if I’m just dreaming though!)
I just got diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and I’m taking it pretty hard. I was overweight before becoming pregnant, and I can’t help but feel like I’ve somehow already failed the baby. I’m also early in the second trimester, so I have a long way to go. I’m just so ready to be done with this pregnancy, and that makes me feel bad too.
We got the house we put in an offer on! Which was awesome and unexpected. AND my husband is on a week-long business trip so I’ve been scrambling to find the W2s and other information needed for the loan process. Oh boy. And I’m just fully realizing how much money we’re going to spend in the next few months, between the down payment and some repairs/upgrades we want to make. We can definitely swing it but our savings will be a little low for a while…
My 11yo was giving me a hard time last night because he says I’m always tired at night when he needs me. He isn’t wrong. The tough part about having older kids is that all the emotional issues come out at the time of day when I’m least prepared to deal. And the only time he seems to be interested in hanging out is when I’m quickly running out of steam (say, after 8:30 p.m). I’m super short-tempered because I’m TIRED. Son’s complaints became this whole thing, like MOM WHY ARE YOU TIRED ALL THE TIME? Well, IDK, son. Maybe because I’m up at 5:30 a.m. and spend every waking minute of my day either working or taking care of you, your sister, doing chores, etc. That’s why I’m f*cking tired. DH does not seem to be as chronically wiped out as I am. Is this a “me” problem? It does seem to be getting worse as I get older, and I hate it. I’m asleep by 9:30-9:45 most nights.
Where did you buy your favorite overnight bag? Bonus if it’s cute – all our duffels smell like gym socks because DH and DS use them for sports/camping.
Paging Cb or anyone else who has an office in a different location than their primary location – how did you decorate it/move in?
I just got an office at headquarters in addition to my office in my (satellite, smaller) location. My satellite office is where I spend most of my time (well, when not in home office) but it’s got all my ‘stuff’ – tchotchkes people have given me, pictures, drawings my son did for me, etc. I am in a role where I don’t have a lot of physical paperwork, so I don’t really need to move any of that. But I want my headquarters office to not be totally barren when people meet with me.
Should I plan a shopping trip while I’m there? Bring things little by little as I travel there over time? It feels weird to just show up with an extra suitcase full of frames and mementos and fake plants, but maybe that’s what you do?
