It’s HERE! Today is the day that I know lots of y’all have been waiting for! Influencer level CAN SHOP, and there are still some incredible deals just waiting to be scooped up.
Let’s get right to it!
I was able to pop in store yesterday for several hours. I grabbed a lot of stuff (that I’ll be showing next week), and I snapped some pics both at the store and at home. I’ll share outfits next week (didn’t have time to put them together after shopping), but today you are going to get some beauty, some accessories, some shoes, and some lounge wear. I’m serious about my loungewear y’all.
I can’t believe it, but the burgundy royale abstract floral is still holding stock!
I own countless pairs of these pajamas in both the short and long version. Buttery soft and just wonderful to lounge around/sleep in. Plus, you’ll look so cute while lounging/sleeping. 😉 For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. You can find the long sleeve version with pants HERE.
Here’s the crop version. Again, I’m wearing a medium.
I was excited to be able to grab this new Barefoot Dreams shorts set. It’s the ultimate in luxury. So buttery soft, and I’m telling you, there’s nothing cozier. I’m wearing a small here, but I think I would actually prefer the medium for a more oversized fit.

You know how I said there was nothing cozier than the above shorts set?
Well, I was wrong.
This pant set is cozier. And remember, Barefoot Dreams items make wonderful luxury gifts for every lady on your list.
Again, I’m wearing a small here, but I think I would prefer the fit of a medium.

There’s lots of cute jewelry available in the sale, but these bracelets might be my favorite. I grabbed two turquoise and 1 pink. They look so cute stacked together.
This hasn’t always been the case, but right now I tend to prefer super simple earrings. I love all three of the options below. They are hard to photograph, but please trust that they are all super sparkly. I got the blingy huggies for myself and I’m obsessed. It seems from the reviews that some have had trouble with them not closing and clicking, but mine are great. I find myself wearing huggies 90% of the time now because I love not having to deal with a pokey post, so I’m excited to have these in the rotation.

I actually had several people asking me for rings specifically and I think these are gorgeous. I held them up against my wedding set, and they look totally real.

I of course grabbed the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Duo. This product is a MUST HAVE for me and has been for years, so I’m thrilled to save $61 on it! I mix it with my Colleen Rothschild Face Oil #9 every single morning and every single night, but a little goes along way. This set will last me until next year’s sale! I love that this is only the Magic Cream and a refill, not another nonsense product that I’m getting that I won’t be using.

Another ride or die product for me is the Unseen Sunscreen. This product does an incredible job protecting my skin and keeping new sunspots for creeping up. I applied this once each day over the 4th holiday and was in the lake for several hours each time, and there are NO new sunspots to report. It goes on like a makeup primer and completely absorbs into my skin immediately. It’s not oily or greasy at all, and I love it. I’m excited to try the Unseen Sunscreen stick when on the go.
Okay, let’s talk shoes!
I have to say, I wasn’t super impressed with the overall shoe offering this year. Shoes are often time my favorite part of the sale, and although I did find several pair this year that I ended up getting, I would say that there were less that I loved to choose from.
Get this… I didn’t find any booties or boots that I liked which was a total bummer, but I do love these loafer mules.
They come in 7 color options, but to be honest, this “came suede” was the only color I was really drawn to. True to size, comfy, and they are going to be adorable with my favorite jeans from the sale.
So I might not have loved any boots, booties, flats, etc…. BUT SNEAKERS WON THE SALE FOR SURE!
These sneakers have my heart. This is the “Zephyr/ Sand” color combo, and I know I’m going to wear the heck out of them. In addition to loving the color combo, I’m a HUGE fan of the bungee cord laces. I really like the ability to slip my sneakers on and off without having to tie them. These are light as a feather and incredibly comfortable. True to size for me.
I’m really interested in these sneakers too, but they didn’t have them in store for me to check out. I think I’m going to have to order them.
I also got two street sneakers to wear with both denim and my drawstring pants. We know that Dolce Vita knows how to do a street sneaker, and they’ve done it again this year. These white ones are going to be DARLING with my ankle jeans and tees, sweatshirt, and sweaters. True to size and super comfy. They slip off and on very easily and are just plain cute.

I didn’t want to buy 2, but I bought 2. I know I’ll wear both like crazy, and these in particular are going to be perfect for casual looks with my drawstring ponte pants.

And y’all, even though I don’t need these, I FREAKING LOVE THEM.
These slingback pumps are oh so chic. The dainty gold buckle, the pointy toe, the slingback, the tiny little kitten heel, I LOVE IT ALL! True to size and comfy.

FALL OUTFIT PLANNING
And now I have some more outfits plans for y’all. All of these outfits are made up of items exclusively found in the anniversary sale!
Yesterday I showed you a casual outfit with the drawstring ponte pants, but you can see that they look awesome dressed up too!
cashmere sweater / drawstring pants / earrings / necklace / bracelet / MAC lip set (soar) / slingback pumps / tote
This dress would be great for fall family pics.
dress / tote / boots / earrings / necklace / MAC lip set (soar)
And y’all know I love a blouse and boot cut jean combo. This one is great!
Farm Rio blouse / boot cut jeans / tote / earrings / puffy heart necklace / bracelet set / booties (I no longer recommend these booties!)
This floral blouse gives the same vibes, but it’s much less expensive than the Farm Rio version above.

And here’s an edgy look with a leather jacket and denim.

And here are some outfits from yesterday’s post (in order to streamline your shopping)…
This outfit is totally basic, but so flipping cute! I’m absolutely IN LOVE with this sweater and these jeans.
sweater / frayed hem ankle jeans / New Balance sneakers / earrings / necklace / ring / bracelet set
We’re sticking with the same jeans, but I’m dressing them up just a bit here with a fabulous cashmere sweater and some DARLING denim Mary Jane mules. I love this outfit. It’s so chic.

These are the drawstring pants that I’ve been screaming about since September. It’s a super cool vibe to dress them down with a denim jacket and sneakers. But as you’ll see tomorrow, they’re also great dressed up for the office.
denim jacket / white tee / drawstring pants / crossbody bag / sneakers / earrings / necklace / bracelet
And another athleisure outfit, y’all. I mean, I’m not sure you can’t get much better than a sweatshirt tunic. AND THESE SNEAKERS!
tunic sweatshirt / earrings / leggings / On Cloud sneakers
This vest is another item that I think is a high sell-out risk. It also comes in black and pink.
sweatshirt / vest / earrings / leggings / On Cloud sneakers
I’ve got one dress for y’all today! It’s Farm Rio, and if last year was any indication, all of the Farm Rio pieces will sell out by end of day or tomorrow at the latest.
dress / tote / boots / earrings / necklace / MAC lip set (soar)

MORE TRIED AND TRUE ITEMS
I first purchased THIS BRA several years ago during the sale, and it’s become a tradition to get a new one every year. It’s expensive when not on sale ($72), but I have found that it’s SO WORTH the money. Grabbing it at the sale price at $48.99 is a no brainer. I named it a MUST HAVE several years ago, and I know so many of you are believers now too! If you doubt me, just check out the online reviews. The cups are perfectly rounded, it has just the right amount of lining, and the material is oh so comfy. And look how pretty the straps are! Click HERE for the bra. True to size for me.
I discovered the THESE UNDIES 4 years ago during the sale, and now they have a cult following. (They are called “girl briefs”, but they are definitely for women.) They stay in place without digging into the skin, rolling down, etc. Plus, they are pretty with the lace detailing. And I’m telling you, you can barely even tell you have them on! I wear a small, so they are true to size for me. I initially bought 1 pair to try several years ago, and then I immediately hopped on and purchased 3 more. Since my initial purchase, I’ve probably purchased 20 additional pair over the years. When I found myself sad when they were all in the laundry, I started grabbing several pair every time they were on sale. Life’s too short to wear undies that you don’t love. You can quote me on that. Needlepoint it on a pillow.
OH…and very important…I DO NOT HAND WASH THESE UNDIES (even though it says to)! Who in the world would do that? I just wash them with everything else!
OH! AND CHECK THIS OUT! The strapless bra that I’ve been raving about for 8 years now (and have turned so many of y’all onto) is NOW IN THE SALE! My friend Meagan finally bought one a couple of years ago, and she kept texting me about it saying things like “My saggy boobies have been perfectly happy and supported since 7 a.m. They feel confident again!” And days later “I’ve decided I only want to wear the strapless bra. Always.” YEP, THAT’S RIGHT. So many of us wear this strapless EVEN WHEN WE DON’T HAVE TO WEAR A STRAPLESS. That’s pretty much unheard of y’all! Sizing tips: Some buy their regular size, and some size up in the band or the cup.
Click HERE for this strapless. Even if you are large chested, you need to try this bra. And you see it also comes with detachable straps. You can wear them straight, you can criss cross them in the back, or you can of course take them off all together.
AND, if you are a Hanky Panky devotee, don’t you worry! My favorite regular rise thongs can be found HERE. (But my goodness, don’t open the link with kids around!)

THE BEST THROW EVER
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times….this blanket is one of THE BEST VALUES OF THE ENTIRE SALE.
IT’S ON SALE for ONLY $29.90 y’all, it’s soft as all get out, it looks pretty (I love the fringe!), and it launders great. Certain colors are already sold out, so you might want to grab them fast before they’re all gone. Buy SEVERAL for your own home (just to keep your family from fighting over it), and then buy them as gifts too. It makes a FANTASTIC Christmas present for anybody on your list. Seriously, ANYBODY and EVERYBODY. It’s also a great graduation present. STOCK UP ON THESE BABIES.
Throw one over the back of your couch, throw one on the foot of your bed, and pile them up in a great basket. You’re going to want to have plenty on hand or your family will fight over them. I’m not even kidding.
Click HERE for the throw.
Oh, and they launder perfectly and don’t lose any of their softness.
I asked people on Facebook how many they had purchased, and several people had purchased over 8. There were even a couple of ladies that had purchased as many as 20 over the years for themselves and gifts!

IT’S GONNA BE A NO FOR ME DAWG
In addition to all of my recommendations today, I also wanted to highlight two things that ended up being a definite NO for me, even though I hoped they were going to be a YES.
I initially loved these booties in brown in person. In fact, they were the only booties that I liked the look of… but they wouldn’t go on my feet! I even sized up a 1/2, and I still couldn’t get them on. I imagine if I had trouble getting them on, others will as well.
Also, although I loved the look of these Mary Jane mules so much and was going to order them in the denim, I tried them on and they showed toe cleavage (and I don’t think my toes are particularly long), so they were a no for me dawg. 🙁
Okay, that’s all for today! Happy Shopping, y’all!
Jen stoicovy says
Sheaffer, did Nordstrom change the price on the ” Must Have” blanket? I only see it for 29.90.
Sheaffer says
Hey, Jen! Yep, looks like it’s gone up since last year. So sorry I didn’t catch that! xoxo
Kathy says
Great post! I was able to shop today, but wouldn’t you know the one pair of jeans I had in my basket have sold out. I’m going to keep checking throughout the day in the hopes they come back in.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kathy! Yes, be vigilant in checking! I’m almost positive you’ll be able to grab whatever you want if you check consistently! xoxo
Darcy says
Is there a new blardigan this year?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Darcy! It has buttons, so I didn’t even try it on. I don’t want my loungewear to have buttons! xoxo
