I’m always on the hunt for clothes that can go from the gym to the store.
This Supersoft Workout Zip Jacket is one I have on my wish list. This jacket is made from a soft, stretchy knit that, well, feels incredibly soft and comfortable. The adjustable cinched waist creates the perfect fit while the attached hood keeps you warm during cold weather workouts or outings.
This jacket from Sweaty Betty is $138 at Nordstrom. It comes in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors: plum pink (my favorite), black, and falu red.

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?
Happy Friday! My 3.5 year old is finally fully potty trained but still likes wiping her bottom with wet (diaper) wipes and to be honest I prefer it too – it’s easier and gets her cleaner. Is there a good solution for disposing of them? I know “flushable” wipes exist, but I’m skeptical – can you actually flush them without causing problems for your plumbing?? DH thinks we should just keep the diaper pail and use it for the wipes, but I’m so ready to get rid of that stupid thing, especially after having a kid who was in diapers for longer than normal.
