But today, you get a special treat!
We are getting a visit from Andrea (one of my real life besties!) who blogs over at Momfessionals.
Andrea teaches math at a private Christian school, she is married to her high school sweetheart Dave, she has 3 of the cutest kids you’ve ever laid eyes on (Luke, Mason, and Griffin), she has more creativity in her little finger than I have in my entire body (check out her back to school dinner for her kids HERE and her North Pole Express breakfast HERE),
and she is make you want to pee your pants funny.
But before we get started, there is 1 main thing you need to know about Andrea.
She is who I want to be when I grow up.
Never mind that I’m WAY older than she is.
The chick has got it going on.
In fact, If you want to read something that will ROCK YOUR WORLD as a mom, click HERE.
You and your kids will be blessed by her words and this philosophy, I promise.
Did you go read it? Because you need to. Now.
It’s SO simple, it’s so easy to implement, yet it might really change how you parent
on a day to day basis.
And speaking of life-changing, you need to know about THIS recipe now.
Because OH MY WORD the deliciousness is crazy. And it’s stupid easy to make.
AND it makes a ton, which means LEFTOVERS! WooHoo!
Okay. Before we get started.
Neither Andrea nor myself were blessed with the gift of brevity. We know this.
So grab a cup of coffee and a bagel and settle in.
😉





Now, here are some questions that Sheaffer sent over for me to answer!
(The writing in italics is Sheaffer talking!)
The exact color of the MUST HAVE jacket is sold out of almost every size, but there are other colors from the same maker available HERE.
Oh just you wait friend! I put together a couple of outfit boards for you at the end of this collage!

Even older than the coat, I have this beaded bag that I took to Prom my senior year of high school (2002)
which is embarrassing because my SIL gave me a hard time about DON’T BE PREGO FOR MY WEDDING and I was all, “I am NEVER going to be pregnant again”. About 3 weeks later I found out I was pregnant with Griffin. There wasn’t enough time to order another dress and so I was about 16 weeks along at the wedding and had to wear a cardigan over the dress since it wouldn’t zip (at all!) in the back.
What is your most worn piece of jewelry?
I like the way you think Andrea. THIS is why we’re friends.

End of story.
Andrea, Dave is so lucky to have you.
#GOTELLITONTHEMOUNTAIN
(This is at Griffin’s dedication… and I’m not sure what’s going on with my face… but oh well!)
I’m laughing because Shay told her to get this, not me….but I will TOTALLY take the credit.
Because the vest is CRAZY cute.
I wore this ALL THE TIME this Winter. I had to stop myself from wearing it.
Y’all…. I fought Sheaffer on this for a LOOOOONG time. I didn’t think I could justify the price tag. But then I did and I have literally worn it every. single. day. since then.

THANK YOU ANDREA!!!!!!
I think it’s great how you were able to show all of us how you made your standard closet FABULOUS!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FRIEND!
AND I KNOW ALL OF YOU LOVE HER NOW TOO!
Sooooooo Andrea.
A couple of things before you leave.
(Go ahead. If you’re done with your coffee and bagel, grab a snack if you need to)
I’ve found one or two things that you nee to consider adding to your your closet right now.
Because like you said, don’t question it.
Click HERE for the new super dark wash Vigoss jeans.
And in addition to the above jeans, I found some maxi dresses that I know Andrea will love.
Because Andrea is the QUEEN of the maxi.
Because she has them.
#andreahasmadmaxiskills
And then I decided to have a little fun.
And I’m gonna be honest, I kinda want to high 5 myself.
Because I created some “looks” for Andrea. And they are SPOT. ON.
Andrea’s style is totally eclectic. She always looks absolutely DARLING, and you can guarantee she has the layers piled on!
So, if you want to learn about layering while dressing. ASK ANDREA.
Homegirl knows how to layer LIKE A BOSS.
So I put together a couple of boards that I felt were very ANDREA-ESQUE.
These outfit ideas are ALL YOU ifIdosaysomyself.
OUTFIT #1:
MUST HAVE jacket HERE
illustrated feathers scarf HERE / kendra scott rayne necklace HERE (this one is magenta)
paprika maxi dress HERE
serenity stone drop earrings HERE (Andrea already owns these too.)
leaf and leather bracelet HERE / white and brass bracelet HERE
My new favorite wedges HERE.
On sale right now and FREE SHIPPING with code FREESHIP.
Andrea,
You would wear the heck out of that outfit! Right?
Okay, here’s something else you need to know about Andrea.
In addition to wedges and wellies, Andrea can rock a pair of cowboy boots like NOBODY’s BUSINESS. So, I decided to put together a 2nd outfit with some boots!
Okay friends that know Andrea, did I nail it or did I nail it?
And Andrea, tell me this next scarf wasn’t made for you. I dare you.
Outfit #2:
Jersey and lace dress HERE / tangerine infinity scarf HERE
rebel pendant HERE / cowboy boots HERE
earrings HERE / leather wrap braclet HERE / crystal bracelet HERE
leaf and leather bracelet HERE
I nailed it, right?!?
RIGHT?
ANDREA!
Do I know you or do I know you?!?
And dangit!
As soon as I closed out the above collages, I found THIS bracelet.
And it’s ONLY $10!!!
And then I found some SALE items that are also perfect for Andrea (and for me!) Click HERE for this hoodie that is now 40% off!
(Here’s one more thing to know about Andrea. The second she walks in the door, she strips and changes into her comfy clothes. She could wear this when her blardigan is in the wash. Because otherwise, the blardigan is on her body. Trust.)
Oooh!
THIS one is for Shay!
Shay was telling me the other day how she was really hoping for a leather moto jacket to be included in the Anniversary Sale this year. And Yes. We are already discussing the Anniversary Sale.
We are fully aware that it’s May, but we are already dreaming of the fall items we are going to be snagging in July.
BECAUSE JULY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER PEOPLE.
Well Shay, click HERE for this jacket at 40% off!
It’s GORGEOUS. And SO you.
And after I found the above jacket on Monday afternoon, I went ahead and made a sale collage that I ended up posting yesterday.
In case you missed it, here it is!
The collage is hyperlinked, so just click on the image you are interested in!
Thank you so much friend for letting us peek into your closet!
LOVE YOU ANDREA!
Don’t forget to check out Andrea’s AMAZING blog HERE.
I promise, you want to read it.
And you can follow her on instagram HERE (she is a self-proclaimed over-grammer…but you get to see lots of cute pics of her kids!).
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

I have no words. Zero. None. This was like the best post ever!! Andrea's closet is AMAZING! Seriously! How does she have so much space? The jewelry BLEW ME AWAY! She literally has framed photographs in her closet. She has a bulletin board. I'm like totally blown away by how in love I am with this post. FABULOUS! I love both of you girls so much!!!!
Sabrina says
I loved this post!! I love Andrea's blog and I love her style. You nailed her looks with your outfit boards! And….can I just say that I BUSTED out laughing at your hashtags about the cargo pants??? Oh my gosh-HILARIOUS!! #gotellitonthemountain — it's 5:28 am and I literally laughed for a good 2 minutes. You are hilarious girl!!! Have a great Wednesday!!
Slightly Askew Designs says
You TOTALLY nailed my look!!! I may have to "frivolously spend" and get it all. 🙂 Maybe not all of it…. but that EXACT TOTE and the Moto Jacket were both in my shopping carts before this morning. And I'll probably wear the moto jacket with a Maxi 🙂
Thank you so much for asking me to share my closet! It was super fun… except that I kind of forgot that I wasn't just sharing with you and now half the world has seen my prom pic. 🙂 hahaha
Love you, friend!!!
Erin E says
The prom pic was perfect & I LOVE all the jewelry in Andrea's closet!!

I don't know Andrea, but I recently bookmarked her blog! What a sweetheart, with great style, and the most beautiful children! Anyway, did you notice that beaded bracelet is the "Education" bracelet, and that proceeds go toward providing education for impoverished children? Sounds so perfect for Andrea!

Hahaha this is perf! I've loved Andrea's blog ever since I started reading it a few months ago! I bet y'all are HILARIOUS when y'all get together! I love her style too. It's so vibrant and happy! And of course. We love a good sale. 🙂 thanks so much for sharing!

I look forward to your posts everyday & I love Andrea's style and closet.
Amy Kleis says
Soo fun! I'm soo glad to know there are just as sick of people out there as me with the "gotta have it in every color" when you like it, gotta have it all and then I'm even worse, if I like it that much I may even have it in the same color in case I ruin one-now how sick is that???!!!!!???? Happy Hump Day!!!!
Happylife38 says
Amy, your comment cracked me up, cuz I do that too and am so embarrassed every time I do it. I even have done this with books that I want to keep beautiful to stay on the coffee table. I'll order two so I can rummage through the other and it won't matter that that one will end up with bend pages etc.. Oh gosh, I need therapy. FAST!! You would think I have a lot of money to be buying two of the same books, and I don't, which makes this even more silly. Please don't judge 🙂
Kari Kirkland says
I started reading Shay's blog….and then when she mentioned Pinterest Told Me To…I started to read over here…then I saw Andrea's blog..and I have to say…she moved up VERY high on my list. At first, I thought…she's a BABY! Then as I read…I said OH MY…we are the same age! LOL! I love her house, kids, clothes…etc. She's adorable and I love her jewelry choices. I click away when I see something she has! ALWAYS! Thanks for sharing her closet! So much FUN this morning!
Liz/ says

Megan Ferchen says
OMG! I love reading both your blog and Andrea's, so having the opportunity to read you both at once? AMAZING (and so entertaining!). I can only dream of having such fabulous style, so thanks for letting me live vicariously through you!

Fun post! Any chance you or Andrea could share where the small colorful rhinestone like bracelets are from? (The ones that she listed as having several of 🙂 )
Sheaffer says
Andrea! Help a sister out! 🙂
Slightly Askew Designs says
Y'all are going to hate me… they were on Groopdealz last summer and I think they were $0.99/each which is why I bought them all. If they ever show up on there again or if I find something similar I'll be sure to alert Sheaffer 🙂
NT says
Thanks 🙂
Kelli @ A Deeper Joy says
I love this! Y'all really make me want cuter clothes 🙂 Andrea has so much jewelry and I love her taste! I could learn a lot from y'all. Thanks for doing this, Sheaffer! Also, I couldn't get your collage at the bottom to work 🙁 When I click on the image, nothing happens. I'm interested in those jeans!
Sheaffer says
Hi Kelly! So sorry, but they are all sold out. 🙁
Val @ Chicken Scratch. says

Samantha says
EPIC post! I love how she stores her jewelry and scarves. And that boho dress… I NEED it now.
Ashley says
I'm in awe of Andrea's hair skillz! I have long hair as well, and can never get my top knot to look as fab as hers. Andrea, how about a top knot/messy bun tutorial? Thanks!
Sheaffer says
She has one already Ashley! Andrea, please leave a link to the post for Ashley!!!!
Slightly Askew Designs says
Oooops! That one was for my curly hair… here's the other one…
