Washable Workwear Wednesday: The Cutaway Jacket in Fringe Tweed

Here’s a pretty pink jacket that takes tweed into summer.
This jacket from Ann Taylor has a raw-edge finish, relaxed open front, and bracelet sleeves. Since it seems to hit right around the hips, add a simple shell tucked into your favorite high-waist trousers. This summer office look is both heat friendly (simply lose the jacket) and A/C friendly. And, if things get unexpectedly sweaty, this jacket is machine washable.
The Cutaway Jacket in Fringe Tweed is $179 (but check for frequent sales) and is available in sizes 00–18 as well as petites.

How much do you all weigh child temperament when making decisions about child care?
My 2 year old has been in daycare since she was an infant. It’s a great daycare, I have no concerns about their care. But as she gets older, her personality is becoming more apparent and she’s more verbal/able to explain her preferences. And now I’m wondering if daycare (especially the long days) are the best fit for her temperament.
Just kind of vaguely pondering at this point. What have you done?
Anyone have a vehicle that can fit 3 rear-facing car seats? And what configuration do you use? I’m trying to not have to crawl to the back to buckle a kid in, so I’m thinking 3 across in a row would be easier but open to suggestions. Kids will be 2, newborn, newborn.
Wanted to know your thoughts; My son is 6yo, in Kindergarten, and is trouble blending sounds to read words. He know what each letter sounds like but can’t make them flow. The teachers can’t seem to ascertain whether this is a focus challenge or a reading challenge or a combination. Have you ever experienced this? Would you recommend having him evaluated, and for what? This is my first encounter with this sort of thing and would love to hear.
My SIL is taking s*xy pics of my 14-year old niece, and niece is posting them on IG. Think wearing a wet bikini walking out of a lake, etc. Obviously this is none of my business and I will say nothing. I love niece’s confidence and support her expressing herself however she wants. But these photos are making me cringe, and SIL’s support of them is surprising to me. I am back on social media after a long break – did this become normal since I’ve been gone?
I have a 7 year old Harry Potter Superfan with a bday coming up. Anyone have any great HP items she might love?
We already have a blanket, a wizard robe and wand, a charm bracelet, the Gryffindor ensemble for her American Girl doll and several HP Lego sets. We also have all the books including Fantastic Beasts, Cursed Child, etc.
my employer (a private university) finally enacted a paid parental leave policy! 12-14 weeks of 100% pay for birthing parents, and 6 weeks paid for non birthing parents. previously it was just 80% of salary through STD for 6-8 weeks and the rest unpaid.
Those of you with nannies who do some light housekeeping for you, what types of things do you ask them to do? I’m realizing how unfamiliar I am with this dynamic as the child of teachers whose mom stayed at home for some years, and my husband’s background is similar. I keep thinking I could ask her to do X and then thinking “no, I can’t ask her to do that.” Help me get over this weird hangup with some specific possibilities?
My former nanny did some light housework. She had grown up as oldest of 10 children, and she was very good at incorporating light housework into the routine of caring for the baby. In the mornings, while baby ate breakfast in his high chair, she unloaded the dishwasher and put breakfast dishes in the dishwasher and wiped down the counters. She took him for a walk in the stroller every morning after breakfast and was willing to run errands within walking distance on her way to or from the playground (dry cleaning, post office, Walgreens, grocery store for 1-3 things). She did a load of laundry–maybe half baby laundry and half ours–and folded it most days. She prepped and cleaned bottles and cleaned up the baby’s room. We were ordering a combination of meal kits and CSA boxes at the time, and she unpacked and put away the deliveries. She swept or swiffered around the area baby ate as he got older and messier, but she didn’t sweep or mop the entire apartment.
We had housekeepers come once a week to clean the bathroom, sweep and mop, dust, really clean the kitchen. My house has never been cleaner than it was that year.
