Happy hump day! This gorgeous burgundy blazer is ponte lined with satin, all of which tells you it’s going to be stretchy, machine washable, and generally pretty sturdy. I like the ruffle at the collar and the half-belt details at the back. It’s available in regular and petites at White House | Black Market for $150. Perfect Form Ponte Burgundy Jacket
P.S.: here’s a $29 option (which also comes in sizes up to XXL).
P.P.S.: I just noticed that last week’s Washable Wednesday option is also available at Lord & Taylor in black and blue, for $64 (not counting their coupon codes), in sizes 0-16.

Aargh, this jacket would look SO much better with the print dress I’m wearing today than the boring navy cardigan I have on!
No opinions or experience with a doula, but as with all things parenting my advice is: you do you. Don’t worry about it feeling high maintenance or not! If it makes you more comfortable and you can find someone you like, go for it.
Edited: this was meant as a reply to Famouscait.
Has anyone out there used a doula for labor and delivery? It’s something I’ve just started looking into, and would have to pay for out of pocket if I hired someone. Honestly, it feels a bit high-maintenance to me, but the one friend I have who used a doula can’t speak highly enough about the experience. I’ll be delivering in a hospital with a midwife, if that matters (a doctor only comes into the picture if something goes astray).
