Weekly Wrap Up – 8/1 – 8/5

Note:  Thanks for your patience this week.  We’ve been having some technical issues, and while they’re still coming and going, it seems like we’re headed solidly in the direction of “going.”  We’re not the biggest blog/site/whatever on the block… and we like that.  Quite a bit too.  But that also means solutions to problems aren’t always instantaneousCan’t thank you guys enough for the continued readership and participation in the comments.  We even had an offer on our Facebook page from a reader willing to murder whoever was causing the problem.  Although that’s very sweet, and shows great initiative, we’re not quite there.  Yet…  As always, we thank you for your support.

Deal of the Week – Mercanti Fiorentini Oxford – $119.95
Plenty of looks for $120

Filling the void.  There’s a good segment of the male population who wear dress shoes at most five times a month, yet don’t want something stumpy and forgettable.  They also understandably don’t want to spend $300 on a pair of great looking shoes they just won’t wear often.  At $125 these look much, much better than their price tag.

Most Popular Post – Most Wanted Affordable Style, August 2011
Wanted isn't always dirt cheap.

A card case, birdseye cardigan, and some killer boots.  Completely subjective of course.

Most Discussed Post – The Splurge:  Ratio Clothing Custom Made in the USA Shirts
Expensive but highly impressive.

$100 is a lot for a shirt.  Use the code DAPPERED (in all caps) to take 25% off your first order.  Join up with them on facebook for a discount opportunity on your second order.  They’re small, they’re new, and they make their shirts right here in the U.S.  Quality and fit is top notch too.  Maybe a treat for yourself at some point.  Congrats to Ivan Y. who won the giveaway.
