Splurge or Save Thursday: Pressed Wool Cocoon Coat

March weather can be all over the map. This gorgeous wool coat is perfect for those cooler days.
This splurge-worthy cocoon coat made from Italian wool has a classic, yet modern look — it features notched lapels, side seam pockets, and a front snap closure. At the same time, the raw edges and bright color will make you look twice.
I personally love the peony or watermelon colors, but if those are too bright for you, it also comes in rosemary and black.
This Pressed Wool Cocoon Coat from Harris Wharf London is $670 at Nordstrom and available in sizes 2US/36 IT to 12US/46IT.
Like the look, but looking for more of a save rather than a splurge? Check out this option from Universal Standard for $248 (several lucky sizes still available).

i know many of you have been in the office the whole time, but i have to go back next week and i am so so sad about it. between getting dressed, getting my stuff together and getting to work, it’s so much lost time to myself. and more laundry. any tips to not dread it and/or to make it easier?
oh ffs with the comments. It didn’t even work with my name, email and the “save my info” box checked today. I’m used to things I say to my kids going into a void, but now even the internet won’t listen to me. thisclose to giving up on the s1te after 2 weeks of this, and i’ll miss this little community!
When did you teach your kids about s*x? We (DH and I) are trying to figure out how comfortable we are with telling our second grader about it. We have a bunch of age appropriate books and are to talk about the science of it all, but get a little squeamish when it come to the s*x page. Neither of our parents ever talked about this stuff with us and we learned through kids on the playground. I want get ahead of that with our kids and have an open discussion. We also have a preschooler and on the one hand I’d love to talk to him about all of this and make it a non-issue, just a part of life topic, I’m also afraid that he’ll think it’s hilarious and talk about putting a p in a v at school.
Help! I’m a mess!
With Ba2 or whatever they’re calling it likely coming here soon, would you all attend/send your kids to a birthday party at the end of April? Would it make a difference if it was a few kids v. 15+ kids? And obviously outdoors is preferable – what about an indoor place reserved for the party? I know everyone’s risk assessment is different and who knows where we’ll be in a month and a half, I’m just wondering if it’s worth planning something for our older kid inviting the whole class or if no one will commit given the uncertainty. This will be his third year of a birthday without a party and in the grand scheme of things, he’ll be fine, but it’s still a bummer.
I would feel iffy about an indoor birthday party, especially because masks will eventually come off for cake and drinks. I would feel obligated to take my kid if the entire class was going. I would not hesitate to attend an outdoor celebration, however, regardless of the number of attendees. Good on you for thinking this through! Unclear and poorly planned birthday party invitations have been an unexpected source of stress this year.
I’m pregnant with my third (yay!). However, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the things that need to be done. Like, we need to move (our house is 800 sq ft, tight for 2 wfh parents and 2 kids). We need a larger vehicle to accommodate this extra person’s car seat. I need to figure out child care for the three kids. I also need to figure out the whole birthing thing – again. It feels like a deluge of tasks, both big and small and I’m really tired and nauseated. Thoughts?
I know the logical answer is that there is no way of telling how long it’s going to take, but how long can one realistically be 4-5 cm dilated before they go into labor? I can’t keep going like this. I have no patience.
I need a new piece of terminology: When you have little kids, like toddlers and babies, and they are all over you physically all day, you get “touched out.” Now that my kids are older, they are less physically on top of me. (Though my youngest – 8- still prefers to be touching me or have her legs slung over my lap when I sit on the couch.) However, the needs are just as intense but more emotional and social and all the responsibility of parenting. Helping my daughter navigate 3rd grade friendships through her tears, my son’s fight with his bestie, my son’s 5th grade class going on a 4 day camping trip, and managing people at work. It feels similar to being touched out but just responsibility-wise, emotionally, caretaker and parenting-wise. I’m “care-taker-ed out”?
Bloop?
