Weekend Reading 03.14.26
I’m seeing more and more women wearing sneakers with everything. Many are wearing pants, but as our weather warms up, I’m spotting them with skirts and dresses.

I find these New Balance 327s super comfy, and I’m not alone because they’re coming out in lots of new colors. Here’s what I’ve found:
Bestsellers of the week: what readers loved most:
- This rashguard was a huge bestseller two weeks in a row! Most of us have plenty of sun damage from our many years in the sun and are ready for the extra protection these offer.
- This Chambray Linen jean jacket was very popular this week. It’s a third layer when the weather warms up.
- This Polka Dot packable visor was a bestseller again this week!
- This linen raw-edge jacket flew out the door! Readers reported that they already own several and added new colors for the season.
- Many readers also ordered my super-comfy Joseph Seibel sandals. I wore mine all day yesterday and had zero foot pain, which is saying a lot for my feet.
Highlights from the weekend sales: what’s worth a peek
TOMMY BAHAMA 25% off sale is on for two more days, and is definitely worth a look!
- I bought this Two Palms Linen Utility Jacket in black, and I love it!
- This embroidered 3/4 sleeve dress would make a great coverup to take you from the pool to lunch.
NORDSTROM has lots of new markdowns worth checking out.
- This Vionic Uptown sneaker is on sale in several great colors.
- I adore these shearling lined clogs, which are on sale! I have them in Stone color and they’re so comfortable, I think I need another color.
- This lightweight jacket is so pretty in pale blue.
WAYFAIR 80% off members’ semi-annual sale is the perfect time to update your outdoor areas for the warm months ahead.
- It may seem counterproductive to use faux plants outside, but we have a door to the side yard that gets zero sunlight, and nothing will grow… so I ordered two of these lavender topiaries to cheer up the area. We go in and out of the door all the time, and I got tired of it looking so bleak.
- Do any of you have experience with outdoor rugs? I have my eye on this one to tie our seating area together and hide some of the ugly cement. Please let me know your thoughts.
PERRICONE has 30% off almost everything.
- I’ve been using this Cold Plasma Advanced Hydrating Cream for the last 3 weeks and really love it!
- My girlfriend is a huge fan of this High Potency Hyaluronic Hydrating Serum.
CHICO’S has 25% off tops, up to 60% off sale, and buy one get one 50% off on jewelry.
- This linen camp shirt is so great. I love the sleeves.
- These no-iron stretch shirts are fabulous right out of the dryer and perfect for travel. I have a few in white, but they come in a rainbow of colors. I especially love it in this orchid stripe.
- These pink teardrop earrings as so pretty and a great price.
In case you missed it:
Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful weekend!

Outdoor carpets just blow away where I live. Maybe if you have an enclosed porch or deck they’d work.
We do have a bit of an enclosure.
I’ve liked sneakers with dresses and jeans for several years but not walking/running shoes. Those are fine with athleisure or workout clothes but look so orthopedic and can ruin other cute outfits in nothing flat. There are so many great low-profile sneakers, platform sneakers, and mule sneakers out right now that are very comfortable and make – not break – a look! I saw so many great ones at Nordstrom yesterday.
So jealous!! 3-6 inches of snow expected on Monday here in Chicago! Will we ever have Spring!?
Happy weekend! The silver 327s, yeah! Haven’t worn mine yet, we are in the fickle weather season here in Missouri. Thankfully it has been raining. And we don’t put sweaters and coats away (or plant warm season flowers and veggies) until May – even though we will be teased multiple times! Thanks for the clog rec, I have been waiting for those to go on sale. Did you size up? I already wear a size bigger in the clogs than I do in Birk samdals.
I ordered my reg size. My heel hits fight at the end, and half sizes are a challenge with them.
I, too, would love a non-iron shirt and have one in my Talbots cart. Today, though, I was reading about potential formaldehyde concerns. Apparently, we often blame our detergents for issues (like dermatitis) that actually are caused by the shirts. A ‘solution’ appears to be washing new shirts multiple times before wearing to limit issues.
Can you recommend a device(s) for de-pilling cashmere? Seems to be many to choose from and some must be better than others. Thank you.
I love my Gleener and just replace my old share with this one
