This sleeveless pleated Georgette top has been around in dress form and blouse form for a while now at Nordstrom, and I love it. It’s machine washable/line dry, and I think it’s pretty and floaty but also easy, particularly if you’re not really happy with your tummy situation.
I also like that it’s got a high neckline and comes in a number of colors.
The top is currently on sale for $25.90 (marked down from $59), and the dress version is on sale too, from $89 to $39. Sleeveless Pleated Georgette Top
Vince Camuto has an option in plus sizes; it’s $109 at Nordstrom.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- 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?
All the smiles today. My son went to nursery this am and my husband is in the office. I’m at home alone, sadly doing the very painful task of cutting 2000 words from an article. But I did a express yoga workout, read a chapter of my book during my lunch break, and am enjoying the quiet. T was so excited this am, he wanted to go as soon as he woke up and wore his dazzling shirt to look smart for his teachers.
We’ve only been allocated two days a week and can’t find someone to plug the gaps but fingers crossed they might be able to end the bubbling and open to full capacity.
What do you do to discipline your kids? Mine walk all over me and I need help! I don’t do anything – I rarely even raise my voice or yell (too much meditation/yoga for me over the last couple years has mellowed me out too much!) All I do is use natural consequences and not super consistently and that doesn’t really work. Husband will once in a while yell and that works very well. My 7 year old whines a lot and Is a PIA unless getting her way and it takes a ton of work to get her to do anything she doesn’t want to do.
I know it’s too early to be certain, but what do people think is going to happen with birthday parties this year? Outdoor parties seem pretty safe, especially if it’s a small group of kids already exposed to each other through daycare or school. But where does that leave the winter birthday kids? I don’t see how you can plan for an outdoor party in January/February in the Midwest or Northeast. Would you go to an indoor party if it was just families in your daycare class?
Favorite gift ideas for a 6 year old girl? This is for a good friend’s daughter, I have my own kids…but am fresh out of good ideas. Budget is up to $40.
My just turned four year old won’t put on sunscreen. It’s become a battle of wills and it’s bad. giant tantrums and we end up leaving him at home with one parent because we won’t let him go to the pool or a park without it. Any tips? He’s generally a nightmare right now but this is the thing making all of our lives worse…
Has anyone been following Laura Vanderkam’s blog or podcast lately? I find it annoying that she is giving parents advice about working from home while caring for children when she seems to have continual nanny coverage herself, unless I’m missing something. On her blog the other day, she talked about how two parents working from home can split childcare and literally said “It isn’t bad at all.” Sure, you can make it all sound doable on paper, but when is real life like that?!
Anyone here have a fire pit? I think it’s time to get one. I see this an activity that will be parents only, after kids are in bed, until kids are what 8? 10? Are there other options to make outside activities in the cooler weather more bearable?
My first thought is to get a little cheap one from somewhere. But I’m intrigued by the smokeless breeo ones?
What would you do on a solo day-off? DH is going to watch the kids (so I will have the day out of the house, not in it), and I am calling in sick. Where would you go, what would you do?
Any ideas something to send a friend expecting her third kid? Any small things you appreciated having as new mom? My friend is having her third and I’d love to send a care package with things for her, not just for the baby. I just had a baby myself last year, but I’m just drawing a blank on what I would have liked. (Well, nice nursing bras was one, I guess). I’d love for it to be a thoughtful thing not a gift card because quite frankly she has the income to throw money at a lot of problems so sending her an UberEats gift card wouldn’t feel as thoughtful…
Did you go from crib to a mattress on the floor or an actual bed? My son is four (I know, I know, but he was very attached to his crib until….yesterday for some reason) so he’s not tiny.
Not sure if anyone is still reading today, but I wanted to offer some hope to parents of school-age kids. My kids’ first day of school was today and they both came home beaming and happy. Seeing all the kids in masks made me kind of sad — I have no idea how teachers will keep everyone straight — but dropoff and pickup seemed to go smoothly. If it helps anyone, this is our rough after-school routine for now:
1) Drop backpacks in laundry room (our version of the mudroom) to keep the germs out of the rest of the house.
2) Put dirty masks in the hamper immediately.
3) Wash hands and change clothes. Changing clothes is probably overkill, but it’s what we’re doing for now.
4) Everything else: outdoor time, snack, homework, etc.
