So what I’m wearing in today’s post is work out gear…but the day I wore it, it was simply an errand outfit. 🙂 And let’s be honest, I’ll wear it lots of days in the future without going near a gym or work out video. Okay, let’s be really honest….I haven’t been to a gym since Spring Break of like 2012. (Remember that day Shay, Erika, and Jeni? It’s the day the stationary bike showed me who was boss, and I’ve literally never been back.) Anyhoo, the outfit is obviously perfect for working out. But you know what else it’s perfect for? Lounging around. Doing errands. And eating Mexican food. Because the day I wore this outfit last week, I ate it twice. #oops
So here I am running out the door to get stuff done for the day. Without a gym in sight. 🙂 These Zella leggings are the 3rd pair of striped Zella leggings (all in different colorways) I’ve bought over the last 3 years. I don’t know what it is about them, but the stripes just make them so dang flattering. And the jacket? OBSESSED. I wear it with leggings, I wear it with jeans, I wear it all the time. In the past I’ve bought Zella jackets, but they are much shorter and quite fitted. My new Nike jacket covers the booty and isn’t fitted at all. It’s awesome. I’m wearing a small in the leggings (true to size) and a small in the jacket (true to size). I might could have sized down in the jacket, but I really wanted it to be a bit over-sized (without looking too big or sloppy). So anyway, the small was perfect for me.
jacket / work out tee / leggings / zella socks / shoes
See why I love the jacket so much? The long front, the even longer back, the material, the fun neck and hood…I love it all. This jacket isn’t cheap, but I thought it was worth the splurge. I know it’s going to be a work horse in my closet.
If you want a similar look for quite a bit less money, THIS jacket is being price matched right now. It’s not nearly as long though, which is what I really like about my jacket.
And y’all. The shoes. I was in need of a pair of new sneaks, and the 39/45 5 STAR REVIEWS convinced me to give this pair a try. They are sooooo flipping cute, I’ve received tons of compliments on them, AND THEY ARE COMFY AS ALL GET OUT.
I loved the entire outfit.

And for a better look at the tee, I thought I would lose the jacket so y’all could really see it. It’s not fitted, and it comes in tons of colors!
And the leggings? Well like I said, it’s my 3rd pair in 3 years. And I’m still wearing (AND LOVING) my first pair from 3 years ago. I can’t say enough good things about them. They aren’t see through, they stay put, and like I mentioned before…HELLO, FLATTERING.
And you can’t see them in the pictures, but I’m wearing THESE earrings. And they are $12!
Before you go, I’ve got 4 AMAZING SALE ALERTS for you!

This fringe scarf makes the absolute PERFECT teacher gift. Especially when it’s ONLY $9.98!!! And look how cute it makes a regular ol’ jeans and tee outfit!

THIS BLOUSE is fabulous. FABULOUS! And it’s NOW ON SALE for $26.98!!!
Do you see how it looks like I’m doing a 1/2 tuck in front? WELL, I’M NOT! It’s just how the blouse is made! AND IT’S GENIUS. Short and kind of twisted and drapey in the front and long in the back!!! I’m wearing a small, so I think it’s true to size. It’s not see through, and you don’t have to wear a cami do to sheerness. Some have said they do wear a cami because they feel like the top is low on them and they need it. Sometimes I wear a cami, sometimes I don’t.
Oh, and it doesn’t wrinkle AT ALL. LIKE AT ALL. I love it here with jeans, but it would also look great with nice work pants (like THESE that have great reviews and are also ON SALE)! I know many of you have been asking about THIS NECKLACE! And I’ve got a 20% OFF code for you today: JASPER20. It would make an awesome gift. From the A.C. girls: Please note that these necklaces are considered special order and will have a 2 week ship time. If ordered today,you will receive it in plenty of time for Christmas.

See how the top is longer in the back? Again, I didn’t do anything to style this shirt…it’s just how it’s made!
And here I am wearing it in the olive.

And here’s the wine in a flat lay. #becauseiamablogger #andbloggerslayclothesoutforpictures 🙂
One more outfit, this time with my black jeans (that now come in petites)! I’m wearing a 4 in the jeans, so I think they are true to size, but they are very fitted. If you want a bit of a looser fit, then I suggest sizing up. Click HERE if you want to see the initial post on these black jeans and read other reader testimonials about them.

My sweater with a little extra oomph just went 40% OFF! AND SO DID MY GREY JEANS!!!!! AND SO DID MY WATCH!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! This sweater is definitely special (which is why I bought it with the hefty price tag at full price)! Ha! I realllllllly like the black and white striped one too. For size reference, I sized up to a medium in the sweater. I actually really liked the way the small fit…except for the fact that it pulled across the back where the lace pleat is. If you don’t have a large chest, I would recommend sticking to your regular size. Click HERE if you want to see the initial post on the sweater. And click HERE if you want to see my grey jeans post. I’m wearing a 27P in the jeans because I wanted the perfect ankle length.

Loft has it’s LAST FREE SHIPPING (with no minimum) day of the year….and most items are 40% OFF..but some are 60% OFF!!!!!!
Like this dress!
This sweater dress has great reviews and I fell in love with it the second it arrived. It also comes in grey, red, and black and comes in regular, petite, and tall! I’m wearing a small petite. I often wear petites in dressing, so this was true to size for me. The small does have some room in it, but I don’t like a fitted sweater dress. If you do, consider sizing down 1 size.
This is one of those items that you just throw on and look amazing! I love the detail of the pleats at the shoulders and a tiny little button on the cuff of the sleeve. The dress, the necklace, the leggings, and some similar boots are ALL ON SALE!!!

This chambray collared tunic is 60% OFF as well and has FANTASTIC reviews. I put it on right out of the box, so it needed an iron on the crease mark from where it had been folded, but I loved this top. I’m wearing a small, and at almost 5’4″ it was just long enough for me to wear with leggings. If you are taller or if you have a longer torso, you might want to consider sizing up if you plan on wearing it with leggings. I forgot to take a picture of the back, but it has pretty pleats coming from the shoulders.

And this is 40% OFF, but I’m telling you, you need it in your life.
Y’all. THIS HOODIE is one of my Top 3 most worn items in my closet right now. It’s sooooooooo incredibly soft, it’s warm (but not too heavy), and it comes in 3 colors. I’m wearing the x-small/small and it’s roomy. You will be in it several times a week. ????

Unfortunately, I wasn’t in your spin class back in ’12 but oh, how I wish I had been! However the spin bike would have owned me as well. Those leggings are so stinkin’ cute!!
Sheaffer says
You weren’t there, Erika? I clearly remember you being there. I guess the bike was so traumatic that it altered my memory as well. 😉
Shay Shull says
I laugh and laugh and laugh every time you talk about us going to spin class together! Bahahahahaha!
Julie says
I need that entire errand outfit in my life. Ordering it now. Thanks!
lauren says
I always really appreciate when you do sale alerts! I picked up the grey jeans and the LOFT sweater dress.
Narci says
Darling outfit!!!! Those leggings are perfect!!
Christina says
I just bought Zella leggings in the high waist fit and love them. That jacket is perfection! Merry Christmas!????
marci says
Girlfriend…. I wear pretend work out clothes almost everyday! Your posts/blog has inspired me to try and wear real clothes… I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO POST more pretend work out clothes PLEASE…. I was so EXCITED you go out in pretend work out clothes- I always think what would Sheaffer ever say about me wearing my pretend work out clothes everyday!!!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Marci! This comment made me sooooo happy! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Megan says
Love the neck of that Nike jacket all zipped up. It’s hard to find a workout jacket that isn’t super short. And I’m super petite. What do normal sized people wear??? I completely agree that those Zella leggings are the best. I own three pairs as well.

I love that the jacket is longer in the back – like you I prefer the tops to be longer on my body – these are all great gift ideas!
Heidi says
Hi Sheaffer! I just ordered the Lush twist front blouse – so cute! My question is, do you dry clean it or do you think I could do a little delicate cold wash? Dry cleaning + my two young kiddos isn’t my best idea…
Sheaffer says
Hi, Heidi! I do dry clean mine (because I dry clean a lot of my clothes)…but many readers have commented in the past that they wash theirs with excellent results! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
S Wilkinson says
Love, Love, Love your posts. It’s the first thing I look at when I arrive to work (shhhh, don’t tell 😉 ).
Can you pretty please give details on the necklace in the wine shirt layout?
Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family !
Sheaffer says
Thank you so much! It was the Panacea brand from Nordstrom, but it sold out. 🙁 So sorry! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Rachel says
Just ordered the scarf in red for my moms stocking! It says it’s back ordered until the 16th.
