Because you'll never wear enough plaid, these sales are for you, friend.

1. Housing Works is doing its annual "Fashion for Action" event where they call in favors from lots of designers.  This year is rumored to have tons of Ralph Lauren.  (Note that this is all new, not vintage.)  Housing Works, 143 West Seventeeth Street, until Sunday.
2. Steven Alan makes the best shirts, ever.  The cutwork is genius.  And when the price dips down to $68, you are advised to snatch up a few.  Steven Alan, 87 Franklin Street, until Sunday.
3. Or just abandon plaid for a moment and check out the Armani Sample Sale with up to 80 per cent off.  Metropolitan Pavilion, 123 West Eighteenth Street, Sixth Floor, until Saturday.

This weekend... (If you're not Bear-ing all)
