Oooh: I've wanted a pair of these comfy pants from AYR for a while, and this may be a sale that's too good to pass up. Readers love these pants for comfortable pull-on work pants and travel-friendly pants… they're washable, they're washable and available in three lengths.
The moss (the color pictured) is the only one in stock at the moment for a lot of sizes, but it's a great sale — the pants are $165 full price, but the pants come down to $66. (They are final sale only, alas.)
(Readers also love (LOVE) these jeans, and I've also been scoping out this stand collar blouse.)
The sale ends in 12 hours, so if you want to poke around, now is the time! Have a great weekend, all.

Any favorite summer hats that pack well? Would love something cool and chic.
Large brim preferred. As much face protection as I can get.
I love this hat. It’s wide brim and packable. My bff and I went on a girls’ trip and realized we both have this hat! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099SBMBCM?ref_=ppx_hzod_image_mob_b_fed_asin_title_0_2
I just received my Helen Kaminski hat and it is soooo pretty. Not packable so I got a magnetic hat clip
Which one?
check out Wallaroo, I think people here have recommended them before. just noticed this one at shopbop too, so cute

I have largely given up on packable hats and I just wear my hat on the plane.
what’s up with comments this week? where is everyone?
In the US people may have been off for the 4th of July holiday. I did find it strange that the Thursday afternoon post got no comments, and the ones it got were posted fairly late on Friday morning, that’s highly unusual.
Wednesday was a holiday in Canada too so most folks took a 5 day weekend.
It’s hot outside, people are going on vacation, family obligations ramp up during holidays. And you can only interest yourself in so many variants of “what should I wear on vacation.” This isn’t a shade comment, its a legitimate use of this blog, but not always as engaging as the interpersonal threads.
It’s a major holiday in the US. Comments are always quiet on holiday weekends.
Maybe this was just me, but I got errors logging onto the site on Friday. It happened several times, so I gave up.
Yeah, it looked like a cloudflare thing.

The site was down for a while yesterday
It’s been pretty dead around here for months compared to how it used to be. Been a while since I saw a 0 comment coffee break though.
Yes, I have noticed too.
I nabbed a backless dress as part of my summer sale shopping just now. Who has recs for a no-brainer tape or bra situation for this? C cup, girls are still just perky enough to technically pull off braless… but support would feel better.
Anyone familiar with the brand Mitchell Barocio? There are a couple items that look nice but I’m wary by the lack of reviews.
