I have a couple of things we need to talk about!
1)
Click HERE for THE ORIGINAL Fringe Scarf.
Pay no attention to the teal and the oxblood in the collage I made last night, they sold out in a HOT MINUTE when I posted them on facebook.
But good news, they still have some of the “dusty pink”
A lot of people have e-mailed me saying they are afraid of the “dusty pink” color. Don’t be, it’s a very soft color and basically just a really great neutral.
My friends Shay and Erika both have them and they love them!

Speaking of scarves, click HERE.
Guessing they are gonna go fast……
3)
I tried on THIS Northface jacket on Monday.
They only had an x-small in store, which is why it looks so snug on me, but I still wanted to show it to you. Especially when I saw this morning that it is 25% off!
Northface rarely goes on sale, so if you’ve been thinking about investing in a Northface coat, now is the time. I love the color of this one!
Click HERE for this jacket (which also comes in silver)!
And click HERE for the entire Northface sale for both men and women! If your man has a birthday coming up, or if you exchange presents for Valentine’s Day….this is a perfect gift!
You already know it’s my man’s favorite thing in his closet!
4)
LOFT is having a FLASH SALE just until 10:00 am EST today.
You can get $50 off of a $100 purchase and $75 off of a $150 purchase!
Plus, free shipping for order of $125.
There are LOTS of new items on the site!
I tried on THIS shirt at LOFT on Monday and loved it!
It reminded me of my Anthropologie tunic (although it’s not as long). I loved the 2nd “layer”, and you know I’m obsessed with stripes.
This shirt screams “me!”.
Click HERE for the shirt.
For size reference, I am wearing a medium in this shirt.
Click HERE to shop the entire LOFT site.
5)
I know this is totally random, but this is hard hitting news people.
THESE welly socks are a freaking game changer.
They keep my feet toasty warm (TOASTY I SAID!) AND they are just as cute as can be.
You are going to be seeing these babies in LOTS of future outfit posts.
Click HERE for all welly socks.

Okay…now it’s time for….
FAVORITE #2 from 2013:
COVER YOUR CROTCHAL AREA
Sadly, most of the tunics that were highlighted in the original post are no longer available. So, I removed most of the pics and links from the post that were no longer active. Didn’t want you ladies getting your hopes up for looks that were no longer available.
First off, there was this…
because wearing leggings to Thanksgiving this year is happening FO SHO.
Yep, that’s right….I’m going to be comfortable AND darling. 😉
I heard on Good Morning America last year that you should actually wear
jeans that are a little snug to keep yourself from over-eating on
Thanksgiving.
Um, NO THANK YOU.
ELASTIC PANTS FOR ME!)
when I announced them a MUST HAVE. See the original post HERE.
GOOD! FOR! YOU!
Go ahead and give yourself a high five right now.
You already have your Thanksgiving pants ready to go! 😉
If you didn’t already pull the trigger, you need to do it today.
That’s an order.
If you aren’t sure if the leggings are really as great as I claim, I need to give you my e-mail sign in
and password so you can pour over all of the e-mails I’ve received.
It’s safe to say that all of you girls are just as obsessed with your new leggings as I am.
However, even though I received TONS of “I AM IN LOVE WITH MY LEGGINGS”
e-mails, I also received plenty of “WHAT THE HECK DO I WEAR WITH MY
LEGGINGS NOW THAT I HAVE THEM? e-mails.
I’ve got this ladies.
And guess what?!? Mr. Gosling decided to drop by again today with a message:
Yes, my friend Andrea is responsible for the above awesomeness.
Don’t you wish your friend was as funny and creative as mine? 😉
I mean, “adorable hiney”. Hilarious.
Now, before we get to the rest of the original post, I have a couple of new tunics to share with you that you haven’t seen before.
Like THIS one.
SO GOOD! RIGHT?
It’s 100% Cotton, and it felt like a light sweatshirt material to me.
I got it in this color combo.
For size reference, I’m in a small.
Click HERE for the tunic.
(In the pic I have on my MUST HAVE grey leggings HERE and my wedge boots HERE.)
I preferred the color combo above, but they also have it in the navy (seen below)and a grey and coral.
I think all available colors could be worn now but would also transition easily to spring!
I loved the casual vibe of the hoodie, and the cut of it.
Click HERE for the tunic.
Back to the original post.
At first my plan was to just hit up Anthropologie and Free People,
because they are TOTALLY known for tunic type shirts. (And they do
have some REALLY GREAT ONES…so you should check them out for more
tunic options after reading the post if you still need ideas.)
I was determined to find some tunics at Nordstrom since I know you
ladies are super comfortable ordering from them due to the free shipping
and free returns.
(OH, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that even if you don’t have leggings, you still need to read this post! All of the tunics I’m featuring today would also look totally fabulous with just
regular old skinny jeans!)
and there were none that I loved…but I headed there anyway, because
Nordstrom always seems to pull through for me.
And THANK HEAVENS for that because I ABSOLUTELY LOVED them once I put them on.
And I really REALLY REALLY REALLY loved this Caslon tunic.
It is SO flattering (and let’s just be honest here: if something is flattering, I BUY IT)…
and it looks awesome with the leggings.
I feel like I need a drum roll or something.
Or some guy in his own pair of leggings with a trumpet drawing attention to the unveiling of this fabulous find.
But since I’ve got neither….here it is.
If you don’t mind, just imagine some trumpet fanfare.
Click HERE for the colors that remain.
I really like the black and stone wide stripe.
INFO SAYS THESE RUN TRUE TO SIZE and I found that to be true.
perfect! I am asking for these for Christmas and I can’t wait to wear
these with my leggings and long ts and cardigan.
(even though they weren’t available at the time). I got a facebook
message from a sweet reader (Thanks Amy!) yesterday that she found it at Bloomingdales. Click HERE.
And this sweater? Yep, it’s gone too.
In this next outfit, the hoodie is sold out (DANGIT!) too , but you get a nice look at my fringe scarf.
I’m telling you. Get it in the dusty pink which is really just a light neutral HERE.
I also gathered some long cardigan options from other posts (with links that are still current) to make up for all of the other items that aren’t current that were taken out.
Isn’t THIS FABULOUS?!? It’s sooooo much better than mine.
It’s expensive, but I ADORE it.
Click HERE.
It’s new, so I haven’t seen it in stores, and there are not any reviews yet, but I ABSOLUTELY love it.
I love the way it drapes, I love the length, I love everything.
If you have THE MUST HAVE LEGGINGS, this cardi would be perfection with them!
And if you don’t have the MUST HAVE LEGGINGS, HELLO? 🙂
And for another great option that is much cheaper, click HERE.
A great plus size option HERE and it’s under $40!
And here’s a Free People version that’s super long and super fab (and 25% off!) Click HERE.
AND PERHAPS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE COVER YOUR CROTCHAL AREA look to date.
Yep.
I have some serious love for this outfit.
For size reference, I am wearing a small in this shirt. (When I bought it, I wasn’t thinking about wearing it with leggings. I would probably buy a medium now.)
Love the color, Love the collar, Love the one pocket, Love the round edges on the bottom.
Love it all.
I know lots of you love the denim and legging look together (as do I), and this is a perfect pairing!
(actually, maybe I do), but if you don’t have the leggings yet, WHAT THE
HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
WOW.
That was a lot of information girls!
Let it sink in.
And I beg of you, when you go forth this weekend in your leggings.
Please.
PLEASE.
Make sure your crotchal area is covered.
Please and Thank You.
🙂
#1 FAVORITE FROM 2013 will be shown either Monday or Wednesday (I’m having some scheduling issues and can’t decide when to schedule it!)!!!!!!
I bet you’ll never guess what it is.
Actually, I bet you can TOTALLY guess.
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

I am on a self induced shopping ban this month – pure torture!! But my bday is next month and that Lost top just went in my shopping basket for my husband to get me! Love it! Happy weekend! Susan
Mix and Match Mama says
I love that you're counting things down!! So much fun!! I live in my Hue Leggings!
Skye Russell says
Hi, I know you can't comment back 🙁 but is there any way you can post on the size you are wearing in the loft stripe shirt? Thank you so much and thanks for this amazing blog.

Hi Skye!
Thanks for the question. I just updated the post, but I am wearing a MEDIUM in the striped LOFT shirt! Thanks for the sweet words about the blog.
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Joe Fisher says
that white looks so good on you!!
melissa says
I saw that shirt at Loft on Monday, and couldn't stop thinking about it. I broke my own LOFT rule and bought it at FP yesterday in store. I made myself feel a little better by buying a pair of white jeans for 40% off. I didn't hear about the Flash sale, but I don't know if I would have been able to wait for it to ship….:/
Mrs.M says
aaaaaand I just ordered the JCrew denim. Damn you Shaeff! I hope I can call you Shaeff. 😉
I need to hunt down a good white button down now…will be searching your blog. Thank you! And thanks for keeping it affordable!
Elaine Welte says
I still think about this post every time I wear leggings- which was 3 days this week!
Shawnee says
I have the dusty pink scarf and I love it…it really is a neutral!! And I LOVE my Hue leggings too and wear them a lot! 🙂 I'm supposed to be banned from shopping this month but I can't do it. LOL
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
I spent my Christmas break in leggings almost every single day. The good news is my collection is much bigger now so I don't have to do laundry as often. 🙂
Kim Kauffman says
I saw the dusty pink scarf in the store the other day and I don't think you'd even realize it was "pink" unless it was next to the taupe or if you had seen the taupe before and knew the color difference. It's really cute! I finally got the must have leggings and they are amazing! My husband said I looked really skinny, which means I really should go buy every color out there!
Jen Pogue says
Yay!!! I just bought the chunky cable knit scarf in gray! I already have it in teal and LOVE it! First it's not wool {which is so itchy to me}, it's infinity {super easy}, and it adds warmth without making me hot. Everyone go buy it now! 🙂 I found myself telling my Aunt on Christmas Eve that it's important for us Mom's to teach our daughter's to cover their crotchal regions when wearing leggings. She had never heard of this, and was quick to agree, so keep spreading the word ladies. 😉
Funny in My Mind says
I just ordered the Lulu scarf in eggplant and teal and got them yesterday. They are so soft and high quality! I also got my blardigan. I am in love.
Amy K says
Who Hoo!! Picked up the LuLu infinity in teal! Missed it at the last clearance price so I was sure to scoop it up this time. My daughter and I will share it! Had the fringe scarf for a month now and it's great! TY Sheaffer!
smk053078 says
I swear, I don't know how you do it…these posts, pictures, links, etc…thanks for doing all this work for us shopaholic ladies! And my fringe scarf is my jam!! One of my faves!
Whitney says
Just ordered the Lulu scarf in gray and ivory AND I ordered a pair of the Hue leggings. WOOT
sammy says
I just ordered the Miz Mooz boots…it was just a matter of time! Now the waiting begins. Can't wait until they get here!

Gonna take a wild guess and say #1 is the WEDGES. C'mon warm weather.. Dying to break those puppies out again
amandabarham2 says
Hey! I found a great white button down at Chicos. It's long enough to wear with leggings! Your crotch is fully covered!!!! It's also non iron! I wouldn't normally shop here but a friend told me about it & I was sold once I tried it on. It's a little pricey but she said she's had hers for years & it still looks new. It's the Effortless Cotton Lenae Top. I even
bought the denim one & am loving it.
Karen Gibbons says
Great post
