Washable Workwear Wednesday: Ribbed Knit Polo Shirt
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 reach for my knit polos whenever my V-neck and crewneck sweaters feel a little repetitive. The face-framing collar and button-front break me out of my sweater rut.
This stretchy, ribbed knit polo works for a more casual office — the neutral colors (it comes in camel and black) and superfine merino wool pair perfectly with polished slacks or even a pencil skirt. Add a pair of jeans and sneakers to take it into the weekend.
Almina Concept’s Ribbed Knit Polo Shirt is $178 and available in small, medium, and large. Need a few more color and size options? Check out this one from Gap for $34.99 (extra 50% off with promo code YOURS).

My three year old daughter loves twisting her hair, and we’re at the point where sometimes the knots are so bad we are brushing out little chunks. We’ve been reminding her to stop but it doesn’t seem effective- she does it ALL the time, while nervous, while happy, while excited, while chatting. Anyone else had this? Any tips to make it stop? I don’t want to make a huge deal out of it but she’s headed towards a pixie cut if the hair loss continues.
What are your tips for helping an otherwise independent 6yo get herself ready for school in the morning? She needs pushing and prodding for every little thing, wants help getting dressed (she is fully capable), doesn’t brush her teeth until the toothbrush is prepped and in front of her mouth, etc. I realize we’ve done her no favors getting to this point but I am tired of resenting her and really want that time back in my morning. Bribery so far hasn’t worked – I offered that if she was ready and dressed downstairs quickly she could watch a show with breakfast, but she wasn’t interested.
DD has been pinching my cheeks lately – she’s 18 mo old and barely lets me cut her nails. She squeezes really hard and it’s very painful. She does it when I’m holding her, so I work hard to stay calm and say something like “ow, that doesn’t feel good, I’m putting you down so that i am safe,” but sometimes it’s hard to dislodge her fingers before I do that. And last night it seemed like she did it because she wanted to put down, instead of just dive bombing out of my arms like she normally does. Any ideas? She drew blood once this weekend.
Hi Moms. I am spiraling and looking for any support I can get. I just had a growth scan yesterday and they estimate my baby’s current weight to be 9lbs 7oz at 36 weeks 4 days. That puts him well into the 99th percentile. I know ultrasounds can be wildly inaccurate. I have read that they typically predict within 15-20% of the actual weight, though. Even if he is 20% less than the estimate, he is going to be a huge baby if I go full term.
I am terrified of a c-section. I do not respond as expected to anesthesia. I regularly feel pain even when I am supposed to be numb and have woken up during surgery while intubated. I am terrified that I will have to have the surgery and feel everything.
I had a really traumatic induction with my first (2 failed epidurals and erratic overlapping contractions from the pitocin) and all I wanted was to be able to go into labor naturally this time and hopefully not even deal with the trigger of attempting an epidural. My best hope was that I would have this baby around 41 weeks without an induction, because every woman in my family has babies really late and 41 weeks is on the earlier side for the genetics I’m working with. Now I really don’t think the doctors will want me to wait that long and also avoid a c-section. I am just so upset I am to the point of questioning why I ever even decided to have another baby after my traumatic first experience. I feel like a fool for thinking things would be better this time.
I do have a doula, and I have been reading stories of women who have given birth to very large babies naturally, but I am in a terrible spiral of anxiety and sadness.
Looking to do our first family trip since Jan 2020 …looking to do something relaxing but with some fun thrown in for a 3 year old. Flying out from NYC with a budget of 10k. Was thinking about doing the Rosewood at Baha Mar. ANy other recs? places with kids club or sitters would be great.
Wise hive, hit me with all of your favorite tips, tricks, and hacks for traveling with a baby. Details: 2-hour direct flight, some 1-2 hour car driving, baby will be 9 months old and currently sleeps in crib with blackout and white noise at home. We’ll be staying with family, attending one special family event in the middle of one day. What do we bring/buy and ship there/forgo? Open to buying certain things to have at the destination for the long term as we will likely be there at least once a year.
My 3rd grader has gotten in trouble at school a few times recently as well as been caught in a lie to me. The school has handled it well and we addressed the lying head on. We have neve been punitive with him but I am wondering if the latest offense merits a punishment (something like losing screen time). He has combined-type ADHD, no meds.
Any advice on how to handle this?
Mom advice needed: Going to a wedding in northern NY in July and bringing our 6 month old. The wedding is outdoors at a hotel and baby will likely be in a wearable baby carrier for all / part of ceremony. What works best for mom to wear in this case – Eg is long dress better? Flat sandals better than heels? Any advice from those who have been in this spot appreciated!
