I am totally delighted by the idea of this reversible rollneck cardigan from J.Crew. I haven’t tried it on in person yet, but the brand claims that it can be worn with the buttons in the front as a cardigan or flipped around as a regular sweater. As someone who wore a lot of J.Crew in the late '90s/early 2000s, the familiar rollneck style feels like a fun dip into nostalgia, but the cable knit at the sides feels like a fun update.
From the reviews, it sounds like you might want to size up if you want something a little more roomy.
The sweater is $118 at J.Crew and comes in sizes XXS-3X and in four other colors.

If your coloring works best with cool, saturated, deep winter tones, what are you wearing for fall? I love the rustic, tweedy autumn colors but have finally accepted that they do not flatter me at all. Are there any brands that focus more on that section of the color wheel year-round rather than the warmer colors?
Color offerings change with fashion, so it may just be that autumn colors are in right now. Searching on “jewel tones” showed some items at Boden and Universal Standard. I assume that’s what you’re looking for (I think of jewel tones as navy, sapphire, aquamarine, purples and burgundies).
Following with interest, since I fall back on black and navy a lot.
Cross-post: I’m almost two years out from my C-section and at the time, I felt like it went well and I healed pretty quickly, but there is still a small section of the scar that is raised/red and not as healed as the thin, almost white lines of the other parts. I’ve done scar mobilization and massage from the beginning but never really used any creams – the doctor said it wasn’t really necessary and that results can be mixed, so I didn’t need to bother unless I wanted to. At this point, I would like for this to heal better since it sometimes itches or feels uncomfortable. Any advice for me?
Scar tape with silicone and prosil scar cream.
I had a biopsy scar fade significantly with that combo.
Best slip-on sneakers with arch support for wide feet? I need them for casual purposes (walking to daycare, quick store runs) but my doctor advised not wearing cheap shoes for even those short outings. I’m pretty set on slip-on (LOVE the convenience with a toddler) but Kizik definitely didn’t qualify as supportive for me. Would love any recommendations for specific models. TIA!
I’m about to be out on medical leave after spinal surgery for several weeks. I was initially stressed about missing so much work, but (after posting about it here and receiving good advice) it’s now hard to refrain myself from responding PLEASE FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF every time someone asks me to do something or panics about something not getting done while I’m off. I promise it will be ok!!
