Today on Closet Confessions you get to see Erika’s closet from A Little Bit of Everything.
Erika is one of my besties, and I just love her so much.
She is one of the absolute sweetest people I know, but she’s also totally hilarious, and
I’m just so thankful for Erika and her friendship!
(Make sure your read to the end of the post girls! When I woke up this morning I saw there is a CLEARANCE SALE going on at Nordstrom!!!)

Wanna see how cute Erika’s whole family is?
I MEAN….COME ON….THAT IS A SERIOUSLY CUTE FAMILY.
Tab is her cute hubby, and that’s Ebby Lee (5), Nixon (4), and Bowen (1).
(Just in case you are doing the math, Ebby Lee was 3 months old when she got pregnant with Nix!)
WHOAH! 🙂
Before we get started on Erika’s closet, I wanted to introduce you to her blog a bit.
Click HERE to see a post she did about an all boy play date she hosted.
My little guy had a blast and came home chattering about all of the science experiments they did!
And click HERE to see a short and sweet post about some of her confessions.
The post is a fun read, and I’m betting you can relate to some of Erika’s confessions.
Okay…take it away Erika!!!!
Oh wait…you should know that my commentary is in italics from here on out.

Hey Girls!!!
I was so excited when Sheaffer asked me to share my closet. Well to be honest, I was excited for about 2.3 seconds, and then I began PANICKING!!! Let’s just say that if you would have seen my closet pre-Sheaffer asking, you would have needed a brown paper bag too! Trust me! We moved into our house over a year ago and I was just LAZY when it came to my closet. I was worried about the rest of the house coming together and just neglecting my own space.

So…after I got out of the fetal position and was back to my normal breathing patterns, I became pumped about organizing my closet and sharing it with you!!
Welcome to my side of the closet…
You’re going to get to see my
closet, and you are going to get to see my answers to Sheaffer’s
questions (the questions are in bold and large font).

questions (the questions are in bold and large font).
I majorly stepped my game up on the organization of this closet! haha!
What is the item you have the most of?
This one was easy….SCARVES!!! Scarves are such an easy, inexpensive way to add a little “pop” to any outfit. I have scarves for all seasons.
I hang my scarves on Tie/Belt organizers from The Container Store.
They’re super easy to grab and hang.
Erika, I think you might have more scarves than I do!!!!!
Here are some of my favorite scarves out there right now in case any of you reading want to up your scarf game!
* leopard ombre HERE and only $18!
* tassel scarf HERE (you probably need this one in 2 colors!) 🙂
It comes in black, olive, oxblood, light pink, taupe, and teal.
What is the single more worn item in your closet?
Another easy one…my Destroyed Vigoss Jeans.
I have two of the exact same pair because I wear them ALL THE TIME!!
Erika, you’re preaching to the choir here sister! 😉 I named these jeans a Pinterest Told Me To MUST HAVE last year, and y’all….I wear them at least 4 days per week every single week of my life. Just ask Erika. I bet 90% of the time she sees me I’m wearing these jeans.
#don’thate
#ihappentoadorethesejeans.
I recently added this pair of designer jeans to my closet (although the wrong size was sent to me so they aren’t in my closet yet), so I’ll be interested to see if they see the heavy rotation that my 3 pairs of Vigoss see.
Here are 3 of the choices for the 2014 Vigoss jeans.
If you are new to the blog, I ordered 3 pairs of the new 2014 Vigoss jeans and did a comparative study. Click HERE if you want to see my thoughts on 3 different jeans.
The jeans below were my favorite of the 2014 versions.
These are actually the Jagger Skinny Jeans (click HERE), even though they are described online as destroyed crop skinny boyfriend jeans.
For size reference, I was wearing a 28, but I for sure needed a 27.
Even though these are described as “skinny jeans”, I think they have a
very similar fit to the cropped jeans, and they obviously look cute
cuffed at the bottom and worn with flats. And I’m OF COURSE going to be wearing them with my new booties! 🙂

What is your favorite pair of shoes?
This summer I bought these Sam Edelman sandals and surprised myself at how much I wore them! They dressed up any shorts/tee outfit.
If you happen to be a size 6, then you’re in luck. Click HERE for the above sandals in size 6 only….50% OFF!
I just bought these booties in the anniversary sale and CANNOT WAIT to start wearing them. They’re SO comfortable. I think they’ll be a favorite this fall!
Erika and I are going to be seriously styling this fall in our Vigoss jeans and our new booties!
Erika’s 2014 booties HERE
My 2014 booties HERE
And speaking of booties, if you are in the market for a great pair of booties this fall, you might want to consider the booties I wore 5/7 days during the fall and winter months of 2013. My TOMS booties!
Click HERE for a new herringbone pattern that I wish I had.
Click HERE for all TOMS booties.
But I digress.
Back to Erika’s closet.
I have never seen boot storage like this! Erika, where did you get this contraption?
I need it immediately!!!!!!!
Love all the baskets in the closet instead of just t-shirts folded and stacked. It looks much nicer!
What is the biggest splurge in your closet?
For sure, hands down….this pair of LEOPARD print cowboy boots. I had JUST had my second baby and I splurged big time on these cowboy boots. I’m so glad I did though…I’ve had them for over four years and I still wear them with lots of dresses!! Leopard is a neutral. Right, girls? 🙂 So…they go with EVERYTHING!
#yeehaw
#meow
What item are you most excited about wearing this fall?
These sweaters with my new booties. 🙂 I have a super soft spot in my heart for an Aztec comfy sweater. I am looking forward to sporting these this fall!
Erika.
Have you seen THESE two options?
I also have a super soft place in my heart for some camo…but that’s just a random fact. haha!
Erika seriously knows how to rock a pair of camo pants.
Please refer again to her family picture above. I like to refer to this as Exhibit A your honor.
Click HERE for a great pair of camo pants from LOFT right now. I’ve received several e-mails about these pants all telling me that I need to try them on stat! All of the people e-mailing me bought a pair and loved them!
Click HERE for an option from Land’s End that another reader e-mailed me about.
Click HERE for an option from Nordstrom with cute zipper detailing.

I WENT THROUGH THE SALE THIS MORNING, AND HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS….

This was
the second pair of AG I tried on, and these are the ones I think I’m
going to end up going with. The knee seems more fitted on these, so I
think I could cuff them or tuck them into a tall boot with ease.

Tab & Erika says
Thanks SO much for having me friend!!! That boot contraption was from The Container Store. You know how your tall boots kind of get misshapen if they're just sitting there?? Anyway, I found this and definitely think it'll fix the problem!!
Cindy Holbert says
What brand are those to die for leopard cowboy boots?
Natalie Zambreski says
I love Erika's blog, and I've always loved her "easy" but adorable style, so I loved this post!
Tab & Erika says
Thanks Natalie!!! You're too sweet!! 🙂
Karen of Little Red House Designs says
You are my new BFF! My Vigoss Destroyed Dark Skinnys (that fit PERFECTLY due to your size reviews) arrived yesterday and I just called Nordstroms and they issued me the 40% off credit!. Off to order the pink jacket with the difference!.
Doused In Pink says
This is one of my favorite features you have on your blog! Erika's boot storage idea is genius!

How have I never seen your closet before, Erika??? So tidy! (well… your side) 🙂 LOVE those cowboy boots!!!
Courtney says
Closet Confessions is one of my favorite series you do on the blog too! Also, FYI the elbow patch sweaters from the anniversary sale are on sale too!! Only $22.80!!
Heather says
Pool Noodles for the win, Sheaffer! You can color coordinate with your hangers or the colors of the boots. My boots stand up perfectly straight and you are able to cut the noodles to just the right size
Lisa says
OH WOW! I didn't even finish the post – went straight to order the jeans. They are already running out of sizes. Just snagged mine!

Love this series! Erika's closet is so nice and tidy…well her part anyway! LOL
Love the boot storage idea too, I must get a couple of those boot stands.
Sad the hanky panky's I love are 40% off but not available!!! Boo!

I'm DYING over Erika's closet! My house was built in 1910 and they did NOT BELIEVE IN CLOSETS! I'm uber jealous over this, and so are my poor seasonal wardrobes stored in totes….
THANK YOU for the update on the super cute pink tweed jacket that jumped from my shopping bag during the sale. It's now on it's way to me, because WHY? Because Pinterest Told Me To! 🙂 Merci, super shopper Shaeffer!
Jen Fisher says
I have been searching for camo pants. Do the one's from Loft run true to size? Love them.

Do you think you could do a post on plus size jeans? Maybe you have a curvy friend willing to try them and give us reviews. I love your style, but not as skinny. I'm working on it, but not there yet. I have a horrible time finding cute jeans that fit my proportions correctly. Thanks! -Amy
Elizabeth says
I love the idea of using baskets vs. just having stacks of clothes!!!
Tab & Erika says
I found that idea on Pinterest and loved how it made the closet appear to be so much more organized!!
Anonymous says
I need that photo frame jewelry organizer. Is it a DIY and if so could you give a little tutorial?
Tab & Erika says
No, a friend posted a pic from Hobby Lobby. I used the 40% off coupon and it was cheap!!
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
Those cowboy boots are awesome! Love the boot storage as well. I definitely need a closet rehab.
Tab & Erika says
That boot thing is from the Container Store…think it was $20 and it holds 4 pairs of boots.
Kaylee Sleeman says
Where did Erica get her comfy Aztec sweaters? Love the colors!!
Tab & Erika says
I got the one Sheaffer linked to in grey (sold out now) during the anniversary sale. A couple are from online boutiques and one is old from Macys.

{Hi Sugarplum!} says
She is adorable and her closet makes me want to gut mine. Like right now.
Mix and Match Mama says
Erika! Your closet looks so good!!! I love how you have your tall boots stored! That's such a great way to use that tall space!! This is seriously like my favorite series Sheaffer :). Love you girls!
Narci says
Such a fun post! I love the scarf storage!! Also, love the divider in the middle. :!
Courtney says
Will you do a post for Moto jackets? They are totally in this season and I need help finding the perfect black one!
V @ X-tremely V says
I just love Closet Confessions…and I adore Erika! She is just so cute 🙂 I think her and I have similar taste…we have a lot of the exact same items in our closets 🙂 Love those cowboy boots and I have a serious problem with my love for camo – hat, tee, jeans, shoes, etc.! Thanks for sharing Sheaffer! And that sale at Nordstrom..YEH!
Marty says
Love the boot storage thingy! Headed to the Container Store in the morning to get one!
Erin and Josh says
Yay for more viggos jeans! Come to mama!
Kim Derryberry Preston says
I want to know where Erika got those bootlegs. Great idea! I also love the background in the family picture. Where was it taken?
ritzy says
I'll tell you what, Nordstrom should hire you to model their clothes! Every time I see you in their stuff I want to buy it right away, then I see it on their model and I am not impressed. They should display your version on their website! lol
Sheaffer says
Well, you are just too sweet! YES! NORDSTROM! CALL ME! 🙂 It can be something like the Dove Real Women campaign where a non-model shows people how to wear the clothes! I LOVE IT! 🙂
Thanks for the kind words!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Crystal Barnes says
I had those Vigoss jeans in my shopping cart yesterday and didn't pull the trigger, this morning they are all out of my size!! Ahhhh! 🙂 Next time….
Chic Coastal Living says
Love her closet! My home has all small closets 🙂
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
Erika is just too stinkin' cute. I love her and her blog. Her closet looks like mine, chock full of scarves. She's a girl after my own heart!
