Accessory Tuesday: Ansley Shearling Slingback Mule

Since I’ve had the privilege of working from home, my heels and ballet flats have gathered dust in my closet and office file cabinet (yep, my heels have their own file space at work). However, my old shearling slippers have gotten a lot more use — I even run out to the car or grab packages from the stoop wearing them.
Given how much I wear my slippers, perhaps an upgrade is in order. Rag & Bone’s Ansley Mules have taken going-out slippers to a new level. I particularly like the suede options since they look less like slippers and more like shoes you could wear in public. These shearling-lined slippers are actually made for walking with a convertible slingback strap, padded heel, and rubber sole.
The slippers are $350 or $375 depending on whether you choose the shearling or suede upper, and available in whole sizes 5–11. Ansley Shearling Slingback Mule
For a more affordable option, consider L.L. Bean’s Wicked Good Clogs (similar to my slippers) for $79, and also available in whole sizes 5–11.

- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
We are a no-shoes household, so I now have separate indoor and outdoor slippers. For the outdoor slippers, I splurged on the shearling-lined Birks. They are ridiculous and I love them. I call them my pandemic stupid shoes.
We are potty training. What carpet cleaner should I use for accidents?
I need to put in a Primary order, and I noticed the lightweight puffers are on sale. How warm are they? Will a puffer layered over a fleece work for a 2-3 year old playing outside in winter in Maryland? My almost 2 year old has a Cat & Jack 2 in 1 this year. It’s fine as far as quality for price, but the outer layer is somewhat bulky which kiddo does not like. Pondering options for next year.
Related, how does the lightweight puffer fit? Anyone know how it compares to Cat & Jack sizing?
I’m starting to research. Anyone have any experience with donor companies or any recommendations? I would like to see pictures but maybe that’s not common.
Before I throw/give everything away.. have you successfully repurposed any baby toys or products? Example – we now use my old haakaa pump in the bath to pour water on the kids’ heads.
Any recommendations for bigger kid shoe brands? We’re just exiting the largest toddler size in our go-to brands. I like a more plain aesthetic (so not brightly colored running shoes)—for example, I like Livie & Luca or Old Soles in the younger years. Looking for both genders now. Thanks!
a couple of weeks ago someone shared a service that can take your videos or pictures and make it into some kind of movie. does anyone recall what that was?
Question about fertility treatment for #2 and being “ready” mentally for it (we’re totally 100% wanting a second child). Next week we have our “initial” visit with the same RE we used for our DD. Even though we never did IVF for the first round (our 4th IUI worked after 8 total tries – we had some trial and error to do with my response to various hormone treatments so weren’t able to successfully do an IUI for half of our tries), I just remember it being incredibly daunting mentally. I know we need at least IUI for #2, and we’re ready for #2…. but I’m unsure if I’m ready for going through the disappointment when it doesn’t work, the stress. For those of you who have done fertility treatment for your second child, is it easier on your mental health? Harder? Different?
Hi all- looking for scooter advice! We would like to get my kid a scooter for his 4th birthday, but not sure whether to get a three wheel or two wheel, and which brand? From my searches the two wheel ones are for ages 5+, so I’m torn between something that might be a little challenging for him that he can grow into or something his level that will get passed down to his sibling next year or so. He rides a Skuut bike really well, but not a pedal bike yet.
Wondering what has worked for your kids?
Thanks!
Anyone have recs for a good no-wire bra for the well endowed? I’m a 36DD…I tried the Lively brand and didn’t like theirs…also have tried third love in the past with no luck. I’m looking for something slightly better than a sports bra, which is what I live in these days but I hate how you can see them under my shirts. Thanks!
LO is 3.5 and has been in the same small, in-home daycare for 3 years. He did do a part time preschool this fall and he’s done backup care at a couple different preschools. We are moving him to full time preschool and have the option to ease him in with less than 5 days a week or just go all in.
Since he does get the concept of “school” having dabbled in it, I’m not worried about that part (being in a classroom, sitting at circle time, napping on a cot, etc – he’s done all that). I also know they don’t actually do “school” all day because they’re 3 & 4, so realistically it will be very similar to the days he does PT school + his in-home. My main concern is leaving his buddies. Their families are choosing a different preschool and different timing as far as putting them full-time, plus they live in a different school district (part of the reasoning). None of this matters to LO. He is psyched for school as long as his besties can come, and when I explain that they can’t, he’s sad. Because of COVID I also don’t see playdates happening with them for the foreseeable future.
WWYD? I was going to do 4 days at new school, 1 day at daycare for a bit. Should I just rip off the bandaid and skip the phase in? I know he’ll be fine eventually, I’m wondering realistically what makes the most sense. I would assume most people go from FT one place to FT at another? He’s going to be sad either way, but will it be better or worse to see his buddies one day a week for a few weeks?
