Washable Workwear Wednesday: Mongolian Cashmere Turtleneck Dress

I need to stop posting about sweaters, but there are piles of snow outside as I write this, so please indulge me. There’s nothing cozier than a sweater dress in the winter — they’re perfect for working from home with comfy socks, or at the office with a pair of tall boots.
I’ve been eyeing Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Turtleneck Dress for some time now. Perhaps this company is only new to me, but it’s a direct-to-consumer company so its products are priced lower than traditional retail.
Their cashmere turtleneck dress comes in three work-friendly colors (oatmeal, heather gray, and black) and is made from 100% Grade A Mongolian cashmere. While Quince recommends hand washing, I often wash my cashmere in a lingerie bag, delicate cycle, with Woolite.
The dress is $89.90 in sizes XS–XL. For a similar (non-cashmere) look in sizes 0X–2X (3X is sold out, unfortunately), consider Vero Moda’s Gaiva Cowl Neck Long-Sleeve Sweater Dress for $47.99 in “light grey melange.”

- 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?
bedtime with my almost 3 year old has become a nightmare. It takes a good 30-45 minutes and its constant tantrum, running out and hiding, wanting another story, etc. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t even do it without the help of my husband. anyone have any ideas on how to improve this?
I love everything about this dress except the fact that it is cashmere. So itchy. The Vero Moda option contains some wool, so that’s out too.
yesterday someone posted about how they aren’t the most confident parent and sometimes wonder if their child would be better with another parent…and i just wanted to say that anyone who bothers reading this site cares enough about their kid(s) to want to seek out advice and/or read tips, etc. which makes you a good parent
Just coming to whine that the states around me have pregnant women on their current vaccine eligibility schedule, but my state does not. So frustrated. That’s all.
Anyone have any recommendations for a kids silverware set to pack for school? Our daycare is asking us to provide utensils for our kids and I’m taking any recommendations rather than aimlessly browsing A-zon.
For those with kids physically at school, what is your system for sending enough food? My kindergartener will start soon in person – his preschool provided food and now he’ll have been home a year before school starts. Kiddo struggles to eat breakfast but will eat like three eggs, three pieces of bread, four pieces of fruit, cheese, vegetables, nuts AND MORE between, say, 10 and 3. Has always had a huge appetite and is very tall. Do you try to fit snack and lunch in one lunchbox? Send a lunchbox and a whole separate snack box? I can’t quit picture it. Not counting on being able to convince him to eat breakfast and definitely has mood issues if doesn’t eat enough- a pack of pretzels and a string cheese isn’t going to cut it for a snack.
We recently dropped the pacifier for our toddler, and now he’s constantly putting his hands in his mouth. It’s driving me nuts both in terms of pandemic hygiene, but also b/c he’s developing eczema outbreaks on his hands and face (further aggravated by his mask). Anyone have ideas for stopping this behavior? Or ideas for managing the eczema without him ingesting lotion/ ointment?
His eating habits may change at school, but he’s probably going to have to start embracing breakfast, which he may be more into if he isn’t eating so much during the day. My son would often not eat that much at school lunch because he chatted a lot. His school had a snack time in K-2, and we would pack a lunch and a seperate small snack bag. I used a Bumpkins reusable bag for the latter.
RE: bedtime for 3 YOs above – someone referenced the “current chapter of the book we are reading” for 3 YO.
My heart was singing this morning, as we has a long discussion about 3YO wanting “books like yours” (e.g. novels). Months ago we had some luck with a Magic Tree House book over a weekend at Grandmas. Any good recommendations that will engage a three year old and not make me want to poke my eyes out?
How many of the same t-shirt dress in different colors is too many for WFH this coming summer? Asking for a friend.
Probably too late in the day but I have a question. I’ve sort of painted myself into the role of peer with my four year old, and I’m not sure how to get back to…parent. He ignores me, then yells when I ask him to do something like put his shoes on so we can go to day care. I don’t want to arbitrarily say no to him all the time, but when I give him what he wants, say…take him to the park or make his favorite food, he is a jerk to me. Throws a tantrum at the park, doesn’t eat the food. Any advice, for those of you who have been through this? Last night I tried getting on his eye level when I asked him to get his pjs. That seemed to have some success. I’ll be speaking to his day care teacher later today, but just wondering if any of you have advice.
