Washable Workwear Wednesday: The Bridget Top

I never found collared button-downs flattering on me, but this blouse from M.M.LaFleur might make me reconsider.
The Bridget Top makes a few tweaks to the classic button-down — it’s made from a lightweight fabric that’s perfect for moving between A/C and the muggy outdoors and features elongated cuffs and covered buttons that can be buttoned all the way up for a high-collared look. It’s also treated with Polygiene, an anti-odor finish, which is perfect for the hot and humid weeks of summer.
The top is $190 and currently available in XS–XL. It comes in “Fern,” an earthy green, or “Alabaster,” a creamy beige. The washable silk version is $225 and comes in a pretty ivory/black or ivory/garnet herringbone pattern.

Does anyone know if Nordstrom will restock a carseat before the end of the sale?
I am thinking of buying a peloton. Does anyone have one and NOT like it? If you regret buying one, why?
It’s a PITA, but I was a bit relieved by the change in mask mandates. My daughter’s preschool stopped supporting mask wearing about 2.5 weeks ago. After four months of the school being open with no illness, literally almost the entire class is sick (half have strep, half have a non-COVID cold). After the announcement, they’re going back to masking. Sad that it is necessary, but it clearly makes a difference. Also, now I have a cold and I forgot how awful it feels.
As I prepare to go back to the office in a month or so, I’d like to get “real” bras again (been only wearing nursing/stretchy bras for 2 years now LOL). But I am having a terrible time finding any that fit right! Any suggestions?
I’m looking for new music for the car. Kids are 6 and 4. We’ve cycled through all the OkeeDokee Brothers and Moana, Frozen, Brave, and Sing movie soundtracks. Any suggestions?
Ideas for a thank you gift for my MIL? She spent two weeks at our house (3-hr flight away from her home) while DH and I had busy periods at work. She took care of DD (11 mo) in the mornings after I nursed, took her to daycare, picked her up early, helped DH make dinner and do bedtime if I wasn’t around. While DD was in daycare, she did laundry and some light cleaning. She was an absolute saint and I am so grateful she was able to help us. (We ALL cried after dropping her off at the airport.) She went to Starbucks every day but doesn’t do that at home (we should have bought her a GC at the beginning of her visit), she eats healthy, and doesn’t really need anything. I was thinking an extravagant flower arrangement and a heartfelt card. Any other ideas? Maybe an electronic picture frame? But I also kind of want to save that for Christmas and give it to all grandparents.
A vent.
Ugh the plague has befallen our house. Kiddo has the ‘rona. Her entire day camp program got shut down early (this was their last week) because of an outbreak. Yay.
Thankfully she is asymptomatic so far. Fingers crossed it continues that way. Of course husband is out of town for work (tested negative before he left) so I’m at home trying to get things done while kiddo complains about boredom and begs for snacks every 10 minutes. How did I do this for a whole year? Is it Friday yet?
Our 3.5 YO is sneaking out of their room at night, trying to get into our room, waking up their sibling, etc, etc.
How did anyone else fix this problem? I am so sleepy from last night’s four times out of bed.
Assuming schools open this fall, my twins need insulated lunchboxes for K. I want to keep using the Bentgo boxes we send to daycare, but need something that can hold both that box and an ice pack. Anyone have suggestions?
Looking for masks recs for a 3 year old- lightweight comfy breathable. Ear loops often fall off her little ears. We are planning on a short flight this fall – my kid’s daycare does not require masks so she is not used to masks for long periods. I’m nervous that she will pull hers off mid flight and we will be hassled by staff. Dad and I are fully vaccinated, in bay area. Thanks.
This shirt would have me well on my way to my goal CJ Cregg aesthetic. Could I pair with a pair of pleated waisted dress pants, a medium width brown belt (through the loops) and a long blazer?
