It always happens: a site is having a great sale, and I find one of the few pieces that ISN’T on sale… sigh. Fortunately, this dress is pretty affordable to begin with at $129, and I like the dark brown pattern — it almost has a tweed/crosshatch effect going on, which is quite nice. I like the high neckline, the three-quarter length sleeves, and the ruched side. It is machine washable, and available in misses, petites, woman, and woman petites sizes.

- 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?
I’m at 11 weeks and have lost 5-6 pounds. I’m overweight/obese already, so no one’s concerned except me. I have an anti-nausea prescription, which helps me to eat more but generally the thought of food grosses me out, and then there’s the heartburn…. still too tired to exercise? Any thoughts or experience? I did not lose weight my 1st pregnancy, but my weight was more normal then.
Nanny question – how many weeks of vacation do you give your nanny? And do you require that some or all of them are at the same time you take vacation? What about sick days?
I’ve seen men that look like they slept in their suits for weeks they were so wrinkled. Also a few older women in sweaters and slacks (and these sweaters were like crazy cat lady sweaters, NOT nice quality). And there are always a few younger women that are wearing stiletto heels with too short skirts.
I bought a few dresses in a similar style and was wondering if they could be appropriate for court with a blazer over them? I know I could wear them to work, depositions, mediations etc, but I’m not sure about court appearances. Granted I’ve seen people wear a wide variety of (crazy) outfits to court but I’m hoping to not look like I’m underdressed. Most of my appearances are state court in California if that helps.
This looks like a great dress. I have a machine-washable Talbots jersey dress from six or seven years ago that is still in great shape. Now that I’m going back to the office (no more working in T-shirts and leggings, sigh), I’m realizing how many of my work clothes are dry clean only/not baby-friendly. I will be keeping an eye out for discounts on this one!
