Weekend Reading

Happy Saturday, ladies. I never know what to wear these days. It cools off in the evening but gets warm during the day, and they’re predicting a bit of a heatwave. Time to get my linen back out. We didn’t have much of a summer this year, which has been fine because one of our portable air conditioners gave up the ghost, so we’re relying on a fan.

Bestsellers of the week – what readers loved most:

• These Ritual probiotics very popular this week. Being on sale 40% off probably helped. The bottle has a minty essence that makes them easy to swallow.
• This Chico’s Soft-Stretch Utility Jacket flew out the door this week, so many of you are thinking ahead to fall.
• The Talbots Embossed Leopard Jacket in a fabulous green is still a bestseller this week and now 25% off.
• This Prequil Hydration Set was also a bestseller. It’s a great value at full price, and even better now on sale.
• My favorite Natori cotton briefs are a big bestseller again this week.
• This Tommy Bahama Leopard sheath dress was super popular this week, too.

Highlights from the weekend sales:

TALBOTS is still offering 25% off your order through the end of August. Since brown is so prevalent this fall, I’m leaning into a few of them. They’re a soft, rich neutral I’ve always wanted more of.

• I ordered this Cotton Coated Barn Jacket, with a fun leopard-print lining and suede accents at the collar and cuffs. If the color isn’t cool enough for my liking, I’ll simply add a scarf or wear a flattering colored shirt near my face.
• I also ordered this Twill Peacoat in the most amazing blue…this one is selling out fast so have a peek if you love blue.

Chicos has 25% off and jeans starting at $79.

• I love the look of this jacket.
• This cotton sweater poncho looks perfect for fall.
• This zebra-print poncho is in such pretty colors.

Ann Taylor has 25% off fresh fall styles, and no, they’re not all career clothes.

• This tie-waist tee has the perfect sleeve length and shaping that nods at your shape.
• I love this striped knit sweater jacket. It’s so classic and elevates any outfit.
• This weekend textured Henley is a great shape and color.

Land’s End has 40% off all tops, and up to almost everything else with the code PLAID. Here’s what caught my eye:

• These high-rise wide-leg jeans look really stylish.
• My favorite Squall Jacket is also included in the sale. I wear that jacket so often, my cost per wear is pennies.

In case you missed it:

• Monday musings on missing the wardrobe assignment and answering reader questions.
• 7 Things I Never Wear on an Airplane, and what I wear instead.
• Small try-on from J.Jill and Chico’s

Have a great weekend and be sure to wear what makes you feel confident.
