Weekend Open Thread (Plus: 19 Men’s Sales Worth Checking Out!)

Miz Mooz PapayaSomething on your mind? Chat about it here.

The ankle strap sandal trend is going strong this season, and I love these nude-for-me shoes from Miz Mooz. The texture is awesome, and I love the velcro, as I’ve somehow reached the stage of life where I need weekend shoes that I can put on with one hand. (They’re very similar to last year’s Panthea, which I own and are cute and comfortable.) I actually love all of the other colors are awesome as well — that turquoise! that coral-ly red! They’re $99 at Zappos. Miz Mooz Papaya

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Mix It Up Dress (and: Pendleton Sale Alert)

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Mix It Up DressTo be honest, I’ve never bought a lot of clothes from Pendleton — but the readers have so often sung their praises that I pay attention when they have a big sale. And ladies, the sale is ON. Lots of really cute pieces under $50, including a ton of conservative-but-fun skirts. You can make a few suits for less than $100, as well. I’ll do a quickie deal roundup as an update to this post in a few minutes, but for this morning’s TPS I’m liking this silk charmeuse dress in a floral/black pattern — I love that it’s fully lined and has bust darts. The dress was $178, but is now marked to $44; with promo code FRIENDS it comes down to $35.19. (!!!) Mix It Up Dress
