First, the GREAT news!
It really is a great little cardi.
These are my favorite crackers, but I don’t think I’ve ever told y’all about them.
Shame on me.
chips (with salsa or crumbled up in taco salad).
My favorite snack is to eat the Sea Salt ones with a sour cream and salsa dip. Yum!
I know it’s totally random, but I felt you ladies needed to know about these. 🙂
3) I am OBSESSED with the new GAP camo pants.
THESE are on their way to me and they are on sale!!!!
Last year’s style sold out quickly, so I’m guessing that will happen this year too.
I really like the muted tones of the pants, and I’m totally in love with the edginess
that the zippers add.
On Monday’s post you will get a look at how I styled a pair of camo pants.
And I got THESE for the little fella!
(They have them in both toddler and big boy sizes.)
4)
I’VE GOT BOOTIES ON THE BRAIN!
And by “totally unsure”, I mean I thought they were ugly.
Oh what a difference a year makes.
before I even tried them on.
It was love.
They are going to look SO cute with my MUST HAVE jeans.
Click HERE for the booties.
Click HERE for the TOMS.
There are 370 reviews, and 299 of them are 5 stars! That’s pretty amazing.
Please pay attention to the tag on the back of these. It’s the main complaint that the reviewers had, but the majority of people loved the look and the comfort of the shoe so much they were willing to overlook the tag. Love the wedge heel.
I am working on an entire post on booties that will go live in a couple of weeks.
And I’m telling you, if you don’t want a pair of fabulous booties now, you will after the post 🙂
5)
But it looks a little roomier, and it definitely looks a little longer.
I think this would be perfect for you tall girls that were worried about the length of the
original jacket. And even though longer and a bit roomier, it doesn’t look too boxy to me!
Right?
I feel like high fiving myself for finding this one!

I’ve been getting lots of questions this week about Military Jackets since my post last week.
All of you ladies want one, but there are lots out there, and you can’t decide which one to get.
Here are my 3 favorite options of the jackets that I’ve tried on.
I absolutely fell in love with the ruffles on both of these versions.
The little girl’s version is like 1/2 the price, but it is short wasted and probably wouldn’t work on you if you are over 5’4″. If you are petite, this is a great jacket.
The Free People version is awesome. I’ve received 5 e-mails from people that already bought this jacket that absolutely sing it’s praises. From their e-mails, it sounds like the jacket fits true to size. Don’t order a size up in the jacket. If you do, the sleeves will be huge.

This is such a nice jacket! The back has
the most feminine and pretty tiered ruffles that create a nice peplum
effect. This, paired with the fairy top in one of the photos, is too
pretty. The tie up the sleeves adds a nice touch. I love the color—a
military green. Not too body-skimming so it will allow enough room for a
sweater underneath during the cold weather.
OOOOOH! Just got this in my inbox this morning.

I am obsessed with your booties too! They are so rocker cool and yet chic at the same time. I am seriously in love with them! And thanks for sharing my jewelry organization post! See you at the mall today! XOXO

So excited that sweater is online now! I've been waiting. Love the booties too. Those wedged toms are adorable too! So much goodness in one post 🙂
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
Nut thins! Oh my gosh, they are awesomeness. I love dipping them in hummus. I tried to buy the camo pants at Gap the other day. My daughters told me not to. Oh well, I'll just go back and get them one day next week while they're at school. 🙂
And thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for sharing my book, sweet friend! Your support means the world to me!
aprilparrish says
I feel like you did a year ago about the "Booties!" I definitely need some convincing before I purchase them. Just not feeling it! But I have a feeling you just might change my mind in the coming weeks. We'll see!!! 😉
Have a great weekend!
Julie Heath says
The Gap camo pants are AMAZING!! I got mine a couple weeks ago and love them and I know you will too! I can't wait to see how you are styling yours. I have totally jumped on the bootie bandwagon too, I think a trip to Nordstrom is on the weekend agenda to try some on 🙂 Happy Friday!
Tamara @ The Workout Mama says
Love those crackers! They are my fav!

Just purchased the sweater online – thanks for much for posting the link! I had loved it when I saw it earlier on here & was excited to see the link today. Love your blog!
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
I mean really, do you just look cute in EVERYTHING?!??!?! #theanswerisyes
I still have those booties at home, just waiting to see if they get to stay permanently.
thanks for the link love…happy weekend!!
Sabrina says

Jenna says

I wear a 27 in the viogoss jeans. What size do I need in those GAP camo jeans? So I can order online and not have to go to the mall with y three boys. Thanks so much!
you can email me at ruff5@cox.net
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
I reallllly like those booties! I got some black Steve's at the sale that I'm dying to wear the minute the temp drops below 70 (I live in Seattle…we wear shorts when it's 60). And I've already asked for a military jacket for my birthday in 2 weeks. And a few Stella & Dot pieces…..and possibly some leopard flats. Ain't no shame in having a birthday list for your 31st birthday right?!
smk053078 says
Yep, that stripe cardi is a must for fall! And booties too!!! 🙂 You will love your camo pants!!
Anonymous says
Oh Sheaffer I LOVE your blog! I have purchased a number of your MUST HAVES and I am wearing them to death!! Yay!
But I need help…I REALLY want to order some Stella and Dot jewelry (the Kimberly necklace & your new reversible pendant) but every time I try it won't let me. I live in San Diego, which is awesome but I can't get the jewelry I want, which is sad 🙁
Thanks~Shelly in San Diego
Sheaffer says
Hi Shelly! I hope you check back here for your answer! Email me directly at pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com, and I will send you what you need to know!

I love those toms booties. I wouldn't buy them because of the tag. I don't mind it so much on the flats but the booties it just doesn't look right. I wonder if it can be removed?

The Toms Tag can be removed I found out how on this site http://thepetitefittingroom.blogspot.com/2012/08/toms-how-to-remove-tag-how-to-wash.html
Mandi says
Does the stripe cardi run true to size? Big/small? I love it but there aren't any reviews to know how it runs! =)
Sheaffer says
I had on a small. I usually wear a small in things like that. If they would have had an x-small I would have tried that on too just to see….but I think a small is best for me.
Hope this helps!

Sheaffer 🙂

When I read your title, I thought it said, "…with no comment thread at all." So, I read your whole post thinking, "why no comments?" Ha!
I've had my eye on those Tom's wedge booties since last season. A neutral wedge and a bootie? Yes, please! And, I broke down and ordered the Free People ruffle military jacket. That brand rarely fits me, but I'll let you know what I think!
Courtana says
So glad that a bootie post is coming because I was going to ask you what length of pant is good for booties and what socks do you wear inside of them! Can't wait to see it
Jenna {Real Simple Girl} says
So much good stuff in today's post! First of all, I can't wait to try those Nut Thins crackers! What's in your sour cream and salsa dip? Is it literally just equal amounts of those two things mixed together? And what's your favorite salsa?
The booties are adorable on you! I've worn booties for a while under my pants for work, but I've never been brave enough to try them on their own.
Also, I love that longer length Juniors military jacket from Nordstrom!! I ordered it last week and it's perfect! Have a great weekend! 🙂
Laura says
Hi! I am planning to purchase the camo pants on thursday and was wondering what size to get? I'm a 2 in Loft pants (they always seem to stretch out a lot) and a 4 almost everywhere else.
I also am planning to get some mustard colored skinny jeans this fall so keep us posted if you find some cute ones! I remember Loft had some last fall so hopefully they bring them back.
Sheaffer says
Hi Laura! I got my GAP camo pants in the mail today, and they were too small!!! I'm normally a 4, but the 4s I ordered were too tight! Dangit! But I'm normally a 4 in LOFT pants too. Maybe the 4s would be okay on you?
I'm sorry I'm not much help!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

The right DV booties finally arrived–they're pretty much perfect; the heel is a little higher than it looks in the photos, but it is totally comfortable. Love 'em, keeping them.
Thanks!
