I’m a coat person — every spring, I add a new denim jacket to my collection.
Right now, I’m eyeing this one from Nic + Zoe. I’ve been on the hunt for a white version for a while. This jacket has all the features of a traditional denim jacket (sharp collar, button-front), but with stretchy fabric and an unexpected raw hem.
It’s a great topper for sundresses on the weekends, but you could also wear it with a more formal sheath for a “power casual” look.
Nic + Zoe’s Super Stretch Denim Jacket is on sale for $126 at Nordstrom and available in sizes XS–XXL.

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?
TW – pregnancy loss. Posting here because this group tends to be more compassionate than the main page. DH and I are in a position of terminating a wanted pregnancy due to malformation. It’s heartbreaking but the decision is made. Although the malformation is genetic, it doesn’t appear that we are carriers. We already have one child and have waited many years to try for another. I would really love to hear stories from any older women who have been in similar situations – did you successfully conceive again? Did you use reproductive assistance technology? How was the D&E, any suggestions? Do you have any tips for grieving and psychological health? Right now I just want to move past this and try again but admittedly I feel very numb inside. Thank you for any thoughts or well wishes.
Moms who “collected” Barbies as kids (and kept them in boxes, etc) – are you giving them to your daughters to play with now that it seems like they’re virtually worthless on the resale market? I can’t decide what to do with all of mine…
