At least that’s what it feels like.
Oh, and then there is of course the actual therapy!
This is the outfit from my VERY FIRST post from August 14, 2012.
Navy striped scarf| Francesca’s
Hot Pink shorts| GAP outlet, similar HERE
If you would like your shorts to be a little longer, HERE is another option.
similar without bling HERE ,
with bling HERE (this one is my fav and has GREAT reviews!!!)
and HERE (if you like a smaller watch)
I think a white watch is so much fun to wear in the spring and summer. I got mine last year and was very surprised how much I wore it and enjoyed it!
The above options are my favorite out there right now.
And for you’re viewing pleasure, while searching for pink shorts for you ladies…I came across two images that were very upsetting.
Image #1:
This picture on Zappos.
Don’t ever trust a guy that looks better in pink shorts than you do.
Image #2:
This one is not so much an image as just something that is burned into my brain.
There were a pair of hot pink shorts in the junior’s section at Nordstrom that were the same idea as mine, but they looked extra super short. I was going to link to them and just say “BEWARE…THESE MIGHT NOT COVER THE GOODS”.
However, then I saw that they came in a triple zero.
Like the size chart went like this:
000, 00, 0, 1, 3, 5,……
WHAT?
TRIPLE ZERO?
I didn’t want link to them on principal.
However, I decided to link to them HERE so you could see the size chart yourself.
What does a 000 look like? Like a toddler size?
WHO IN THE WORLD HAS ANY BUSINESS BEING A TRIPLE ZERO?
Sorry, I’m all worked up.
Okay……..time for me to calm down.
Moving on.
And I must say, looking back to my post on Friday, some of you think that I’m lying to you about my feelings for THESE wedges.
I would NEVER lie about something so important. 🙂
I got sooo many texts, e-mails, facebook messages, etc this weekend asking me if the wedges I talked about HERE were really as comfortable as I say.
Here’s a text from a friend yesterday morning saying that she was trying to figure out just exactly what she wanted to buy to start her summer wardrobe. (I am in the blue).
I don’t know what I have to do to convince you guys that this pair of
wedges is both cute AND sassy.
It’s like Mr. Cute met Little Miss Sassy, and they had a pretty little neon patent baby.
Whatever that means.
And don’t worry….I’m about to start applying self-tanner daily.
AND I’m on the exercise bike getting ready for summer.
That’s right people.
It’s like T-40 days or so until I have to be in a swimsuit.
Things just got real.

You also have to pencil in lunch dates with Shay and play dates with our kids. Yeah. You should probably just quit your job. That sounds a lot easier…
I still love the pink shorts with the navy and white striped shirt! It's hard to believe you've created all of this in less than a year! Good job Mama!
Tara G. says
My wardrobe now boasts a pair of hot pink shorts and my favorite tee in 5 new colors…you made me feel less like my dad (who has every.single.shade. of his fav cabela's shirt ) and just more, um, wise (?) with my stocking choices. :). We started school 5 weeks late thanks to our move back to the States…we have until the end of June…and then a short break so we can start again and finish before the next move!
Meagan @ The Clanahan Fam says
You crack me up. "Things just got real." Yeah. I pretty much told my husband that yesterday as I was perusing Shay's swimsuit choices. But I may have been more along the lines of "this just got real" 🙂

Sarah says
So I bought two pairs of those wedges…I can't wait to get them in the mail…the days can't pass quick enough! 🙂
Don't even get my started on swim suit season, 6-9 months pregnant during the summer, going to fun times around here, yea right! 🙂
Kim Kauffman says
So I'm reading this post and my two year old daughter comes up and points to your last picture saying "that's mama, that's mama!". I could only wish I looked like you as I'm currently eight months pregnant and SKINNY is not in my vocabulary right now. Glad to know that's how I look to her haha!!
Linda says
O.K. I'm going to look TOTALLY like a copy-cat. For a different reason. I do NOT have a busy life at all (at age 75! I have a wonderful life), but I have some new readers of my blog. So…I've decided to do some reruns–encores, I will call them–of some of my favorite early blogs. Judge Judy does it. Why can't I? So, please be flattered and just don't call me copy-cat to my face, o.k.?
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
That guy in the pink shorts will haunt me almost as much as men in meggings. But more so because I'm sort of jealous of his legs too. And a 000 should be outlawed..seriously.

A triple zero?! That IS disgusting. I love the comment "WHO IN THE WORLD HAS ANY BUSINESS BEING A TRIPLE ZERO?" I couldn't agree more!!
Brianna Deneen says

Love your blog…. but I have a question. I would like to follow you by email, but I can't find a way to do so. I'm sure I must be overlooking it, so could you please point me in the right direction? I was trying to find a "Contact Me" button, but couldn't find that either….. so that's why I'm posting here in the comments section. I hope you see it and can help me!
Thanks so much!

Hi Sheaffer! Love your blog! You never cease to make me laugh, plus I love your style…I've pinned many of the same outfits you have, so it's great to see your take on them! I'm also going to school for speech pathology, so I appreciate your comments here and there about what you do. Everyone I talk to who is a speech therapist seems to love what they do (minus the paperwork maybe ;). So it's fun to see someone who loves their job AND has great style at the same time! 😉 lol
I also agree with Karen's comment, that it would be great to be able to subscribe by email to your blog 🙂
Can't wait to try a pair of those wedges too! Thanks for all your tips! 🙂
