This Vince Camuto top looks like a great basic — you can wear it to work or on the weekend, you can pair it with skinny pants, and you can layer it under a cardigan or blazer. It looks flattering and also not too out-there in terms of the high/low style. (Note that it does seem to be slightly sheer on most of the back.) It only has a couple of reviews so far, but they’re very positive. And, bonus: It’s machine washable, tumble dry low. The top, which is $69 at Nordstrom, is available in plus sizes in black and coral, as well as other colors in regular sizes. Woven Back High/Low Knit Top

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?
DH just took a new job which will require him to travel 2-3 times per month (usually Tuesday-Thursday). I’m supportive and excited for him. I’ve also recently started a new job that is much more flexible, less demanding overall, and closer to home and daycare. But of course I’m still nervous about the big changes and doing “it all” myself during the weeks he gone. For those of you who have spouses who travel frequently, what are your tips for managing work, the kids, the house, etc. during the week? And do you do anything to keep your marriage going when spouse is home? (Part of me thinks parts of it will be easier–in many ways, DH is messier and more work than Kiddo.)
Ladies I am feeling so defeated right now. I’m in my first IVF cycle. The injections weren’t nearly as bad as I thought and yesterday we had egg retrieval, which also was much easier than I thought. So all of that is good. They got 10 eggs and I’m going to be 37 in two weeks. Well I just got word that only three fertilized and I’m having a day three transfer of one (all my insurance will allow for a first cycle) on Sunday. I know that one was the most that was going to be transferred anyway, but am just so discouraged that only three fertilized. Not sure what I’m really looking for here – success stories would be great, but really I’m just venting I guess.
How do you cope when you are seriously upset at work, as in tears running down your face and snot dripping out your nose upset? I am sitting my car right now so no one can see me and have a plan to deal with the issue at a later date, but I need to get some serious work done this afternoon and also avoid saying anything I will regret. Ugh.
Sleep help… everyone’s favorite topic! For the past couple months either my husband or I has been sleeping with our 2 year old. She sleeps on a mattress on the floor and anywhere from 12 – 2 she usually cries for someone and we go in. Otherwise she comes to find us. Then points to the spot next to her “night night there” lies down and makes us stay.
How to break this habit? It’s tough because she can get up, open the door and walk in to our room. And we let it go way way way too long (this started when she was sick). Anyone else had a similar experience? We’ve been adamant on keeping kids out of our own bed, so I guess this is what resulted!
My comment disappeared so I apologize if you see this twice.
What are your favorite lifestyle books? Style, etiquette, home decor, mindful living etc. In the alternative, what are your favorite lifestyle blogs? Thanks!
Happy Friday!
Seeking pump advice – I had a Medela PISA for my first baby, which worked “fine” for me. (I used a Symphony for a couple months in an effort to boost supply and then switched to a PISA with no immediate impact on supply.) I still have all the extra parts and whatnot for the Medela. I’m now pregnant with my second, and it looks like I could get a Spectra S2 from my insurance – is there anyone here who has used both and can compare/contrast for me? I like the idea of having something quieter and potentially more effective, but not having to buy new parts/adaptors to fit my Medela and Dr Browns bottles would be nice too.
Happy Friday! I know we are all busy working moms, but I was wondering if any of you can share your favorite books on “stylish living”. For example, books on home decor, etiquette, style etc. Or in the alternative, your favorite lifestyle blogs (besides CorporetteMoms of course).
Thanks!
This is about poop. You have been warned.
Have any of you had a situation where you disagree with your child’s pediatrician? I’m doubting myself because he’s really great in all other ways and has won “pediatrician of the year” type awards. But my daughter has had an ongoing issue with constipation and it seems like he’s just blowing me off over it. I bring it up at every appointment. How can “just give her more miralax” be the answer? She’s taken miralax every day for the past year. And she still only goes once a week sometimes. I feel like I’m going crazy. I got that softy the poop book someone recommended on here and the book for parents by the same author, but it’s geared towards older children who are already potty trained and can be reasoned with on some level. Plus it says they should go every day. My pediatrician said there is a variety in what is normal. My daughter is about 2.5 and she’s been struggling with this issue for the last year and a half. I’m kind of at a loss about what to do and would love to be able to think about something less gross than my kid’s bowels. I called the nurse when it was the second week in a row of one poops per week and the nurse told me to just up the miralax dose. Which I did. So now she’s having diaper explosions every several days. This will get better at some point, right?
Please don’t shame me for having her on miralax. Trust me, if giving her juice and fruit magically worked, I’d be doing that.
Any advice on SI joint pain during pregnancy? It’ll be ages before I get referred to a physio on the NHS and it’s getting me down a bit, particularly as I’m only 18 weeks and already in load of pain. Going to go to a chiropractor privately but in the meantime, I’m struggling.
Oooooo I kind of like this shirt. I started imagining wearing it out with skinny jeans and heels and a clutch for drinks… then I remembered that is absolutely not my life right now. It was a nice thought while it lasted!
