PEARL WRAP BRACELET
Let’s kick things off with this classic pearl wrap bracelet. There are several pearl wraps to choose from, but for summer, I love this ivory on ivory pairing. Normally $39, ONLY $23.40 right now! If you want a bracelet that will go with pretty much any outfit you put on, this is probably the bracelet.
light wash denim jacket / white tee / blush skirt / statement earrings / dainty necklace / sea green necklace /raffia cross body / pearl wrap bracelet
This bracelet is sweet, so I paired it with a sweet little outfit with several shades of pink.
I’m in love with the blush skirt. The material is similar to that of a light sweater, so I was unsure if I would be able to wear it during the Summer, but I totally will. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium
light wash denim jacket / white tee / blush skirt /raffia cross body / pearl wrap bracelet
This light wash denim jacket is from Amazon. AND Y’ALL. It’s SOOOOOOOOO good. I got the medium wash during the fall and wore the heck out of it. I didn’t get this light wash because I already have the KUT jacket in a light wash that I love, but I kept receiving questions about this specific jacket, so I ordered it just to try it. Well, I’m keeping it.
I’m wearing a small and love the fit. It’s got a little bit of stretch to it, the collar does a good job of standing up (if you want it to), and it’s not too long or too short. It’s a great little jacket and an awesome price point right at $40.

WHITE AND GOLD BRACELET
Want a bracelet with mixed metals and some sparkle? Click HERE for the bracelet below with lots of different materials and textures in white, silver, and gold. It has metal discs, seed beads, and a pave crystal ball.
floral tie waist top / denim shorts / white and gold bracelet
The golden tones in this floral tie waist top paired perfectly with the bracelet. The top is DARLING, and I’ll love wearing it with white jeans as well. For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the top.

This bracelet is lovely.

WHITE, BRASS, AND TURQUOISE WRAP BRACELET
This white and turquoise wrap bracelet is ONLY $19.20 right now! What an incredible deal!
The clear, gold, and turquoise crystals totally pop on the white cord. I love it paired with this vibrant pink and the white jeans.
smocked peasant blouse / white jeans /white and turquoise wrap bracelet
The top and the jeans are both on sale.

LEOPARD WRAP and TURQUOISE AND STONE WRAP BRACELETS
This next outfit is DARLING. The striped top is from Amazon and the shorts are from Nordstrom, but they go together PERFECTLY!
There are several bracelets that went great with this outfit, so I’m going to show you two different options.
In this first option, I stacked this leopard wrap with this turquoise and stone wrap .
striped flutter sleeve top / drawstring shorts / leopard wrap bracelet/ turquoise and stone wrap bracelet
I’ve had the leopard wrap since last Fall, and I really thought it was a bracelet that I would only wear during the Fall. HOWEVER, I thought it looked so good stacked with the turquoise and stone wrap with this Summer outfit!
The leopard bracelet is ON SALE for only $20.40, and the turquoise bracelet is under $25 too!
striped flutter sleeve top / drawstring shorts / leopard wrap bracelet/ turquoise and stone wrap bracelet
LEOPARD AND FRINGE LAYERED BRACELET
Same outfit here, but with a different bracelet.
Let’s take a second to talk about the outfit first.
The striped flutter sleeve top is one of my most favorite recent Amazon finds! It’s soft, it’s well made, it fits great, and I love the little flutter sleeve. For size reference, I’m wearing a small. The drawstring shorts are insanely comfortable, really flattering, and just plain cute! For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
striped flutter sleeve top / drawstring shorts / leopard and tassel layered bracelet
The leopard and tassel layered bracelet is a total show stopper, and it’s ON SALE for just $23.40 (regularly $39)! It boasts crystal beads, metallic beads, braided leather, a leopard layer, and it’s finished off with tassels! I would typically think of this as a perfect Fall bracelet, but I really love it paired with this tee and shorts combo.

TURQUOISE, WHITE, and GOLD LAYERED BRACELET
And for the final bracelet today, I’ve got another cuff for you! This turquoise, white, and gold layered bracelet combines turquoise beads, amazonite, textured leather, gold coins, and seed beads.
light wash denim jacket / white tee / skirt (color F1) / turquoise, white, and gold layered bracelet
Notice the dark turquoise in this bracelet.

Now check this out! I turned the bracelet around (and am wearing it backwards) to show a much lighter turquoise layer.
In addition to the bracelets above, there are several others that have caught my eye including the neutral options below. Click on the bracelet(s) that you are interested in!
A huge thank you to Victoria Emerson for sponsoring this portion of the post.

JUDITH MARCH HAT
Y’all know I love Judith March hats, and this camo hat with the “Take It Easy” message is going to come live with me.

SOME DRESSES
I’m sure you’ve noticed that most retailers have been short on inventory for awhile now. I’ve been ordering sooooooooooooooooo many items from sooooooooooooooooo many different retailers, and I’ve got 4 dresses for you from 4 different retailers today.
This one is from Nordstrom. It’s a pretty sage green and super comfortable. I love the smocked waist trend, and I like that this one has a longer sleeve and tassels at the neck. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
smocked waist mini dress / statement earrings / sea green necklace / similar wedges
I’ve got another smocked waist dress for you! This one is a beautiful floral with a ruffle neck and double tiered skirt.
And great news! The code SHEAFFER will get you 20% OFF the dress!
high neck ruffle smocked waist dress / sea green stud earrings /pearl wrap bracelet / similar wedges
I love the easy silhouette of this swingy dress. The color is gorgeous, the details are dainty and feminine, and it’s really soft! It’s great on its own, but you know I’ll also layer a denim jacket on top. And it’s 40% OFF right now with the code YESSS. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium petite.
flutter sleeve swing dress / statement earrings / dainty necklace / sea green necklace / similar wedges
Here’s another Target find for y’all! And it’s ON SALE!
I was immediately drawn to the bold colors and print of this dress. The fabric is substantial, and although it’s not soft, it’s not itchy either. It’s a great length for the office, and I can think of many types of occasions that would work for this dress.
This dress is really oversized, so make sure you size down. I’m wearing a small, and I might even be able to wear the x-small.

SOME MORE AMAZON FINDS
I saw this cover up and immediately ordered it in both black and white. For $17 I couldn’t pass them up! They come in some other fun colors too if you want to check them out!
Did you see my UNDER $40 AMAZON COLLAGE on Monday? I shared 12 items that I think are great little Summer essentials. Last night on instastories I talked about them and shared my reviews (the stories will expire Friday evening if you want to hop over and see them).
I combined some of the pieces together to put together this cute flat lay.
Get me to the lake or the beach immediately so I can wear it! How cute would this be on July 4th?!? Everything is under $40, the swimsuit is only $20, and the sunglasses are $12.99!

When I hopped on instastories yesterday to share the above, I was wearing the outfit below!
Several of you immediately commented on my tee and my earrings. The tee is SO ME (I’m wearing a medium). #BECAUSEQUESO
The earrings are hard to see in the picture, but go check them out because they are DARLING.

HUGE COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD SALE
There is a HUGE COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD SALE happening this weekend! Right now it’s BUY ONE, GET ONE 50% OFF (which actually ends up being one of her better sales)! Code: BOGO50
If you’re not sure where to start, head to the “SKIN CONCERNS” tab at the top of their site and click on the problem area you would like to target (ex. blemishes, fine lines and wrinkles, hydration, etc). Read the product information and the reviews and figure out a great start place. If you’re already a Colleen lover, this is a great time to replenish some things you are low on or maybe try out a couple of things you’ve been interested in!
My Top 3 favorite products right now are the Radiant Cleansing Balm (always), the Glycolic Acid Peel Pads (my newest favorite), and the Mandelic Acid Radiance Serum (go read the reviews for yourself). But I’m also OBSESSED with the Tahitian Manoi Cream Oil Body Wash as well as the Hair Mask and the Smooth and Shine Hair Serum. Oh wait! The microfiber hair towel is another new favorite. It’s like magic.
But I’m telling you, I swear by so many of her products. I regularly use the Vitamin C Treatment Complex, the eye cream, the micro mineral resurfacing scrub, and the retinol treatment complex.
THE PRODUCTS ARE INCREDIBLE. TRULY.
I asked for feedback on Facebook yesterday, and you can click HERE to read tons of comments from STMT readers on their favorite products and WHY they are their favorites. I know I love to read about why others love products, so I thought y’all might want to also!
Below are just some of the comments that were shared with me on instagram stories. Reading them might help you decide what you want to try for yourself! SERIOUSLY. READ THEM!

That’s all for today, y’all! Have a wonderful weekend with your people! xoxo
Erika Slaughter says
The colors in that collage are so pretty they make me wanna but it all! Happy FRIDAY!
Becky Smith says
Thank you for these! Can you please give a link for the little floral skirt you have on in the last bracelet pics? The link provided is also to the first blush skirt. Thank you!
Sheaffer says
Hey, Becky! I just checked the links, and they went to the right link for me! Try again, and e-mail me directly if you are still having difficulty! pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com xoxo
Becky Smith says
I didn’t see there are two different links there for skirts. Sorry! I was clicking on the first blush skirt link. Thank you!
Shay Shull says
Thanks to YOU, I bought summery VE bracelets and love them so much!!!
Ariana says
Thank you! I recently re-discovered you and I now LIVE for your posts!! You’ve turned me on to Amazon and Democracy jeans – lots of stuff on order with Prime wardrobe 7 day trial, so fun! On Target though – even though that dress is on sale, at $30 that’s more than I usually get dresses for there. Every spring/summer, I always have luck there for great quality and deals, but this year I feel like they are off their game.
Sandy Phillabaum says
Can you please tell me what nail polish you have on? You may have said before but I can’t remember! Thank you! I love following you!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Sandy! It’s Sally Hansen Insta-Dri 363 Let’s Jam. I love it!
Karen S says
Love every single one of the outfits you’re wearing with the VE bracelets!! Adorable!
Chrissy says
So I ordered the medium wash jean jacket a few months back, brought it to Spring Break and left it in the hotel closet! Urg! I had been putting off ordering another one bc well, #quarantine…but seeing the new light wash one, I ordered up! As always, thank you for your great recommendations!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Chrissy! I liked the medium wash a lot…I LOVE this light wash one! So happy with it! xoxo
Joanna says
You look so cute in the red/pink shirt and white jeans…I love that outfit!! I got the tiered top from Amazon that you had about three or four Fridays ago I think? It comes in about a million colors. I love it! I got navy in a medium and it is definitely roomy, but I think small might not be roomy enough for the style of shirt. Anyway, thanks for great recommendation! Happy weekend!! 🙂
Melinda says
Are you going to tell us about your new LV purse? I’d love to know more about it, please! Thank you!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Melinda! I actually got it on eBay! It’s an authentic LV, and I have an entire post written about it that was supposed to go live back in March, but it was right when the pandemic happened so I haven’t run it yet. It seemed like the wrong time to run a post about how to buy a designer bag when the country was going through so much and so many were worried about their jobs. I hope to get to run it sometime in the next couple of months! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Melinda says
You were totally right not to publish that post back in March! With that being said, I do look forward to hearing about it soon! I’m thinking about buying an LV purse about that size and an curious!
Sheaffer says
I’m hoping maybe for August! I was nervous at first to purchase on eBay, but their authentication program gave me the courage! I’m SO HAPPY with the bag!!! xoxo
Tiffany says
Stop making sure your diamond is sticking out in your favorite hand in pocket pose – we are not impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sheaffer says
Hey, Tiffany. This has honestly never been a thought in my head. I did go back and look at my pictures though, and I definitely see why you might have thought that that I was making it a priority. I don’t know what else to say except that I wasn’t trying to highlight it.
Christie says
I think this is a bit harsh. What’s she supposed to do, take it off for photos? The only reason I noticed was it was totally visible in ONE photo (and the only reason I noticed was the multiple bands which were intriguing). We all have our own styles, and if married, our own style wedding bands (or not), that doesn’t mean she is “showing off.” (But I would totally show it off Sheaffer, your rings are gorgeous!) Anyways, I appreciate seeing a bit of “real life” and not just a fashion ad etc. Isn’t that the point?
Sheaffer says
Thanks for sticking up for me, Christie! 🙂 I think my ring kind of just gets stuck outside when placing my hand in my pocket. But I’ll tell you this, I’m definitely going to make a point of trying to actually make sure it gets all the way in the pocket next time I take those types of photos (to highlight a bracelet). Haha! xoxo
Dawn says
Link for the sandals in all your pics? Not the wedges but the flatter ones. By the way love your wedding ring! Show it off ?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Dawn! Do you follow me on facebook? I just posted a pic of the sandals on facebook because I saw some sizes were back in stock. I didn’t post the link on this post, because they were all sold out when I wrote the post. They are from Sam Edelman. xoxo
Christie says
Thanks for all the recommendations! Is that a new Louis Vuitton bag I spot? Love it! Can you give details on how you decided on which one you wanted?
Also – I love your wedding ring & how you have stacked bands. Does each hold a meaning? Looks beautiful!
Also – was wondering if you had recommendations with things to do virtually with friends as many of us are still in quarantine etc. (eg virtual happy hours, virtual game nights etc?) Would love some new ideas! 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Christie! I got the bag back in February! I originally had a post scheduled to talk about it in March, but I didn’t publish it because is was right around when COVID was just coming to light. I got the bag from eBay! Its authenticity was verified, and I was able to save some money instead of buying it new from the store. I’m hoping that I’ll still publish the post in a couple of months or so. 🙂 Thanks for the sweet words about rings. They don’t have a special meeting (that would be cool), I just like them and decided to stack them up! And I don’t have any recommendations for quarantine fun. At the beginning of all of this, we spent almost two full months at the family ranch. We’re back at home now, but we’re not going crazy yet since we were at the ranch for so long. Sorry I don’t have any cool ideas! xoxo
