So if you haven’t been living in isolation, then you know I’ve been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for myself
But I haven’t been shopping just for me, I also got THIS for Chris in the Glacier Blue. 🙂

I hope to get more items after I can get him to sit down and look online with me because HEAVEN KNOWS that I can’t get that boy into a mall.

But I didn’t just shop for me (and the hubby 😉 )….I shopped for the kid too, just like I always do at the sale!
Each and every year I always get a head start on great basics for Carter’s fall wardrobe.
I ALWAYS get at least 1 pair of shoes for him (a pair of sneakers and a pair of Sperry’s)…I typically get his new coat….and then I like to get some shirts and pants as well.
So when Nordstrom reached out and asked me if I would like to talk about kid’s back to school clothes and shoes, it was a no-brainer!
Here is my little man is in some of the new duds that just arrived.
Looking totally cool ifidosaysomyself.

Now just in case you think he poses quietly for the camera, I would like to disprove your theory.
He likes to dance.
And act like a velociraptor.
And make fake tooting sounds on occasion to see if he can make me laugh.
This little boy makes me proud. He has such a sweet spirit and good heart.
And even though he’s almost 7 (whah!), he still likes to snuggle with us and tell us he loves at least 15 times a day. 🙂
Get. After. It.

To get Carter’s look for your little fella, just click the picture you are interested in!
The collage also includes the Northface jacket I got for him, as well as a hoodie (which you will be seeing in a future post).
So serious….
And let’s take a closer look at the shoes.
When I bought them, I knew they were super cute…but I didn’t know how awesomely functional they were as well!
Look closely. The shoes don’t tie like they look like they do.
NO M’AM.
The whole top velcros open and shut.
Let’s all just act like I didn’t try to untie them for at least 30 seconds when trying to help him get them on the first time.

And just because I CAN’T STOP, I have some more pics of pieces I haven’t shared yet! There were just so many pictures and items that I made the decision to wait and share some stuff this week.
This was the thermal and cardi that was in the catalog! I can’t believe it’s still available, but it is!
boots sold out, but there is another pair of over the knee boots in the sale
Size references:
I’m wearing an x-small in both the cardi and thermal tee, so I suggest sizing down. I’m wearing a 2 in the jeans, but I think I might have preferred a 4 (they just didn’t have a size 4 in store).
Get The Look For Yourself:
I’ve received a lot of questions about these jeans already from you ladies!
They are the dark navy skinny stretch wit and wisdom jeans.
These jeans are not as soft as MUST HAVE Wit and Wisdom that I named in December (that are now sold out), but these are still good….just different.
I actually like them better that the other Wit and Wisdom because they aren’t as long (I could actually wear the pair below with flats), and I think they give me more shape.
They are a really pretty dark wash, they are still comfy, and they have a higher waistband the Vigoss jeans I usually feature. These are misses jeans, and the Vigoss are juniors, so there is the difference between the two brands. These aren’t as soft and comfy as those first Wit and Wisdoms….but what jeans are really? These are still a really great jean, especially for those of you looking for a jean that’s NOT a low-rise.
During Sale $41.90 / After Sale: $64
Again, I am wearing a 2 in the pics above, but I did feel like they were very tight. I would have definitely tried on the 4 to compare if they would have had them in store.

I think this is great with jeans, but it would also be good with dressy pants or a skirt! I think it’s a little bit sexy even though it’s not revealing at all. And I love the gathered shoulders.
I think it’s true to size, I’m wearing a small.
Click HERE for the top.
During Sale Price: $49.90/ After Sale Price: $78
I really like this tunic with jeans.
Even though it’s long enough to appropriately cover your crotchal region ;), due to the slits on the sides (see online picture) I’m not sure it would work well with leggings.
It might be a little too revealing of an upper thigh.

similar jeans with great reviews / booties (size up a 1/2 size)

And fyi, I don’t think I’ve made a big enough deal out of the fact that MY FAVORITE EARRINGS are in the sale!

And speaking of tunics to wear with leggings, remember THIS Caslon tunic from
the last two years?
Well, it’s back! And it’s TOTALLY appropriate to wear with leggings.
During Sale Price: 44.90 / After Sale Price: $68
For size reference, both an x-small and a small work on me…just personal preference on how you want it to fit.
And SHAME ON ME for not yet mentioning that my MUST HAVE leggings are in the sale again this year too! And they are only $23.90! The grey are my favorites.
(And for those that have asked….
I prefer my MUST HAVE leggings for tunics and boots.
I prefer the Zella live in leggings for running around town in tennies and/or working out.
I wear a small in both pairs of leggings.)
And I know lots of you will love THIS sweatshirt tunic (also in the sale)!
Look how cute and cozy an outfit like this is!
That’s it for today girls!

I finally scored those Toms wedges and the Kate Spade glitter earrings for my daughter! I cant take pics because they are Christmas gifts, but thanks for the tips! She will love them! And Carter is darling! Susan
Erika Slaughter says
I scored Nixon that exact same little tee. Dinosaur poses and all-he's a great little model!
Mix and Match Mama says
Two things: 1. I just love Carter :). So excited that he's coming over to play today! And then 2. I know it's supposed to be 100 degrees today, but I totally want to wear a sweater. Girl! So many cute options for cooler days!!
Narci says
Carter!! What a cutie!! Love him and that darling outfit!! 🙂

Did you find the boys stripe shirt to run small? Just saw one review online that said it did. Thought I would ask before ordering. Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Carter normally wears a 5 shirt, and this is a 5 shirt. It's definitely cut on the slim side, but that's okay for Carter. Otherwise, I would consider sizing up! Hope this helps!

Is it true that new items are added to the Anniversary sale daily? If so, what's the easiest way to identify the newly added items? Thanks!
Sheaffer says
I heard that was going to happen, but I haven't seen any new items yet. If anybody knows differently, please leave a comment!
Cheryl says
Your little guy is such a hoot! Where do we see all the pictures people are sending? Was at the downtown Chicago store yesterday. Their customer service is amazing. They are sending my purchases to me so I didn't have to carry them.
Sheaffer says
Hi Cheryl! I will be posting all of them on August 31st! Still collecting all of them!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

I received the Textured Disc Drop Earrings yesterday, Not sure if you have seen them/ talked about them but they are super cute, And only $15.90!! I'm hanging on to them as part of Christmas gifts to my sisters! Off to get that hooded cardigan!!!
Blessed: John and Ashley says
This has nothing to do with back to school shopping (Carter is a DOLL by the way), but I had to let you know that on people.com today they are do a photo special on the most dramatic exits on the Bachelor/Bacherlorette! I saw it and immediately thought of you! Have a great day!!!
Ladybug says
The boy is the most precious little boy EVER….AND, have you thought about modeling for him? He's seriously SO handsome! That is all.
Lyndsey A. says
This has nothing to do with the post but I'm watching the Tell All and there was a close-up of you and Shay when they were talking about Clint and JJ! You're famous!
The Young's says
This has nothing to do with the blog post. Have seen Mix and Match Mama and you on the Bachelorette the Men tell all this evening. I think it's so cool to see both of you there. I love following both of your blogs. Hope you enjoyed your time on that fun trip.

Hey, I saw you at least three times on the Men Tell All. You look great!
Apple Blossoms says
I know it's early and like several others on here this has nothing to do with shopping *gasp* but I watched the Men Tell All tonight and saw you a bunch of times! They even did a lower box TV close up of you! I felt like I was watching someone I knew. So exciting!
Jordyn Brown says
Oh my goodness, your little man is the cutest! I also couldn't help but heading over to the sell to pick up that hooded cardigan-so perfect for fall!
