Washable Workwear Wednesday: O’Hara Blazer
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.
I have an older version of this blazer that’s made from a cozy, but not machine-washable wool blend. Now, M.M.LaFleur just released a machine washable version in a juicy wine color for fall that I must have!
The roominess of this double-breasted blazer is balanced by its slim, tailored shoulders — even at just 5’2″, I can wear this without feeling like I’m swimming in it. The new version is made from M.M.LaFleur’s OrigamiTech fabric — it’s perfect for road warriors since it resists wrinkles and is machine washable.
Add the coordinating pants or dress for a complete suit.
The O’Hara Blazer in OrigamiTech is $365 and available in sizes 00–20.

Is nanny week a thing? Our nanny agency emailed to announce that the week of Sept 24 is nanny recognition week. More than happy to recognize our lovely nanny, just wondering how people typically recognize this. If you do, what do you do for your nanny? I default to card+cash and maybe small gift for most things and am inclined to do the same here.
PSA that the Pizza Hut personal pan pizza reading rewards expire on Friday. We’re going tonight :)
i need some post dinner/bedtime advice. my 5.5 year old twins are fairly delightful at dinner but then when it is time to start anything related to bedtime they turn into monsters. they start laying on top of each other, trying to bite, hit, run around like crazy, etc. it is clear that they are EXHAUSTED but dont want to go to bed. i try getting them into bed around 7, we can’t really do any earlier, and last night bedtime took from 6:30-8:30. any ideas? advice?
Three moms have shared with me this week that their elementary school aged kids (first and second graders) go to bed at 7 or 7:30. My first grader goes to bed at 8:30. He’s always up by 7 and out the door by 7:35. This is fine, right? Don’t borrow trouble. Now I’m curious what the average elementary school bedtime is.
I have a decent sized guest room that houses a queen bed, night stand, and lamp. It only gets used a few times a year, but when it does, I need the queen bed. However, I feel like it’s a wasted space most of the time. DH and I both already have dedicated offices and kids have a dedicated playroom, although they like to play with dolls in the spare room. Any ideas for how I can use the guest room?
What do your kids eat for breakfast? We’re sick of eggs but my kids don’t like oatmeal.
As I’ve posted before, DS #1 has been struggling with the transition.
Well, well, well – guess who got student of the week for this week?! We had such a great conversation about what it meant, and why he cared so much about getting it – talk about blossoming. And more importantly, I think it’s made him like his new school even better :)
Regular poster, going anon for this. Just found out I’m pregnant with #3. We want to put off telling anyone in real life, so sharing here :) Anyone with 3 or a larger age gap between kids want to share what they love about it? (My older two will be 6.5 and 4.5 when #3 arrives).
