It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now.

FRIENDS
Wednesday night Carter and some buddies went to see their friend Campbell play in the JV football game, and the team got another win! WooHoo!
But I’ll tell ya this…
It’s so weird to have Carter just walk out the door now to drive himself to events. And by “weird”, I mean it’s both amazing and terrible. The freedom that comes with the extra time I’ve gained is awesome, but I sure do miss all of our car time together. He’s a good car partner. 😉

Did y’all know about the Walmart Deals that are going down right now?

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND all of the Beautiful Kitchen Appliances in the Drew Barrymore line. I own the crock pot, the 3 qt air fryer (wish I had the 6 quart), and the toaster. Mine are all in the cornflower blue, and they truly are beautiful. For some reason, it looks like the cornflower blue color is the only color that’s on sale… but that’s okay, because it’s the best color. 😉
I LOVE every appliance and highly recommend them too all of my friends. I definitely suggest grabbing at least 1 of them when they are on sale right now.

NEW NORDSTROM FINDS (AND SOME JEANS ON SALE)!
Okay, ladies. I’ve got some big ‘ol heart eyes for this top.
It is DARLING.
It’s the perfect soft chambray, I love the wash, and I’m obsessed with the fit and the ruffle collar and neckline. Plain and simple, this top is fabulous. It’s not stiff at all, and it’s got a little bit of give to it. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
I’m wearing the lighter wash, but there’s a darker wash too.

I’ve shown this sweater to you before, but I wanted to show it styled with these ecru jeans…
The acid wash sweater is so soft, I love the color (brown topaz), and the relaxed fit is what my sweater dreams are made of. The sleeves bell out (but just a little bit), and the ribbed collar and cuffs add some nice style. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. It also comes in a heathered black and a cream.
You might remember seeing it in the collage in my FALL FINDS UNDER $50 post a couple of weeks ago.

I think this gold cuff and the beaded bracelet set pair together to make the perfect fall stack.

LEOPARD IS BACK IN A BIG WAY.
Now if I’m going to be honest, it’s always been “in” for me. I think the pattern is totally chic and classic, and because of that I never stopped wearing it. But if you follow the trends closely, you know that now it’s officially back.
You know what else is trending? Mary Janes! These leopard Mary Janes are undeniably fabulous.
They have excellent reviews, they are incredibly comfy, and you can easily dress them up or down. The strap is adjustable with a great buckle closure, and I think that they are a very flattering fit. True to size for me.

I am completely in love with this dress. Like I’m totally smitten. It’s a split neck with a tiny little ruffle around the back of the neck and stretchy smocking at the waist. The bodice of the dress is lined, the sleeves end in a wide elastic cuff. I’m wearing a really pretty and dark fall floral (called “navy multi), but there are 7 colors/patterns to choose from. The reviews are EXCELLENT with many shoppers reporting they love the dress so much that they ended up buying a 2nd one in a different color.
Also, it’s super affordable at just under $90.

Okay, I’ve got another dress for you! This one isn’t nearly as affordable, but it is a really fun and really pretty fall dress. I think the pattern is DARLING and I love the colors. It looks (and fits) like an expensive dress. It’s 100% organic cotton, it has pockets, and you can see the slim waist tie (that is removable). I would suggest sizing down in this dress. I first the ordered a medium, but I exchanged it for a small. I’m wearing a small here and it’s still got some room. I like it a lot with the short booties, but it would also be absolutely fabulous with tall boots.
This could be a great option for fall family pics.
minidress / earrings / coin toggle necklace / booties (light natural)
This dress is beautifully made, embroidered, and totally adorable. It’s whimsical with the mushrooms and snails, but I actually love it. It has a pretty neckline, balloon sleeves, a flouncy little skirt, and I love the fabric belt. It’s got pockets, it’s 100% cotton, and it’s fully lined (except for the sleeves). For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
The Ciebon brand has become a new favorite for me. Click HERE to see all of their dresses.

I’m straight up in love with this cable cardigan. I’ve shown it with regular denim, but wanted to show it with this cream denim too. The chocolate brown color screams fall, it’s incredibly soft, and although it can be of course worn open like a cardigan… I love it buttoned up here. I’m wearing a medium here, but I already ordered it and received it in a small yesterday. The small fits great. It’s perfectly slouchy and it’s a classic piece that I know I will wear for years and years to come.

This striped crewneck sweater is everything I love about a sweater. Again, I’ve showed it, but I wanted you to see it with cream jeans too. It’s lightweight, it’s got a relaxed fit, and the rounded high-low hem means I can do a 1/2 tuck or just wear it out. It’s quite soft, and you know I love a stripe. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

SOME WALMART FASHION FINDS
FRIENDS. This metallic striped cardigan is UNDER $20 and its just lovely. There’s a metallic thread running through the stripe which gives it a little something extra. I had the idea to pair it with these ecru jeans so I could have a monochrome moment, and I love the look. This sweater would also be great with a pair of black coated jeans and heels.
And while you could obviously wear this over a white tee for a more casual look, I really like the vibe with it worn buttoned up like this. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

The second I saw this oversized denim shirt online, I knew I wanted to size up and style it with leggings.
It arrived, and it’s just what I imagined it would be! I am wearing the large here in “Valerie”. The large is quite big, but it’s the overly relaxed fit that I was looking for. I would say that it’s actually too long to wear with jeans (even if you buy it in your regular size), so I would only suggest getting this shirt if you’re wanting to style it like I did below with leggings.
oversized denim shirt / earrings / MUST HAVE 7/8 leggings / On Cloud sneakers
How about another under $20 cardi?!? It’s got a bit of a shawl cardi design, and this neutral color is perfection.
This is the oatmeal melange. I would suggest sizing down. This is the small and it’s still roomy.
open front cardigan / earrings / coin toggle necklace / patch pocket boot cut jeans / booties (light natural)
I know this super soft leopard cardigan is going to be super popular with many of y’all. It’s only $18.98, and it’s giving Barefoot Dreams. It also comes in black, wine, and winter white. It is stupid soft, so cozying up in it is a dream. It’s actually a sweater that I think I will wear most often when lounging around at home. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

SOME AMAZON TOPS AND SOME NORDSTROM JEANS ON SALE!
THESE FRAYED HEM BOOT CUT JEANS ARE ON SALE (for a limited time). Y’all know I’ve been screaming and shouting about a different pair of boot cut jeans from Wit and Wisdom for years and years now. These are a little bit updated with a frayed hem and a darker wash. And although they still have some great give to them, they aren’t as stretchy as the other ones. These have a bit more structure to them, which I think some of y’all might like. For size reference, I’m wearing my regular size 4.
I’ve always loved a short sleeved sweater for early fall. It’s of course great on its own, but it’s also perfect to layer under a light jacket. The little puff sleeves on this are too cute, and you know I love the stripes. It comes in 8 total colors, but the rust and cream is fall perfection. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Here’s another look with the frayed hem jeans.
This crochet pullover isn’t something I would normally gravitate too, but I actually dig it! The weave is more open than I thought, so I think many of you will want to wear a neutral cami under it (if you choose this color). I really like the zippered and high collar, and the wide band at the waist is actually quite flattering. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

These patch pocket boot cut jeans are ON SALE FOR A LIMITED TIME too. They are from our belloved Wit and Wisdom, and they are a new take on the bootcut we are all obsessed with. These have patch pockets and a double button up top, so they have a bit of a cool retro vibe. LOVE. I’m wearing my regular size 4.
This cardigan is so pretty and so feminine…but I thought it was more of a fall blush, while it’s more of a light pink. The sweater is really beautiful though with lots of scallops and lacy details. I would just suggest grabbing it in another color that’s more fall like the olive, or the khaki, or the ruby wine! Notice how the cuffs of the sleeve are special too because they bell out a bit. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Here are the same patch pocket jeans with the fair isle sweater I showed earlier this week with the ankle ecru jeans.
I don’t like a pumpkin spice latte, BUT SOMEBODY NEEDS TO HAND ME ONE when I’m wearing this sweater. Have you ever seen a fair isle sweater that’s more suited for fall weather and a pumpkin patch? It comes in 5 other color combos if this one isn’t your jam. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium, but I think I would prefer a small. Make sure you check the box for the 20% OFF coupon!

These are the frayed hem ankle jeans I named a MUST HAVE years ago. And they are NOW ON SALE (for a limited time) too. I still wear them, and I still love them. They are the perfect way to ease into the straight leg trend, because it’s a subtle straight leg. And I really like the frayed hem. I’m wearing my regular size 4.
Now for a cardigan that I feel like everybody is going to fall in love with. This is the “khaki”, but it also comes in a light cream (apricot), black, hazlenut, and white. I’m wearing the small here, and it fits kind of close…. but I think I might order a medium because I like how it fits oversized on the models. I actually like how the small fits too, it’s just a different look!
cardigan / white tee / earrings / multicolor beaded necklace / coin toggle necklace / frayed hem ankle jeans / belt (pecan gold) / bracelet set / leopard Mary Janes
I need to just start out by saying that you’re going to need to wear a pair of boy shorts under this dress. If you don’t, you are just asking for a wardrobe malfunction. I’m telling you, even just a slight breeze would send this skirt flying up. I really like this dress a lot, but it’s actually quite wide (and quite short), so you need to know that going into it. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. It’s quite wide, so know that going into it.
babydoll mini dress / earrings / coin toggle necklace / booties
This striped lightweight sweater is a perfect choice for early fall. The contrasting collar, cuffs, and hems provide fun interest… and the color combo choices are plentiful. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

BLAST FROM THE PAST
Here are some items that you’ve seen before that I’m still wearing and still loving….
This batwing cocoon cardigan is one of my very favorite purchases. I ordered it on a whim, and I didn’t even really love it when I took it out of the box. However, the moment I slipped it on I FELL IN LOVE. It’s FABULOUS.
I’m wearing the “dark khaki” here and am totally smitten with the color. The forearms are ribbed and fitted, it’s a batwing sleeve, and it’s a cocoon fit. It’s fitted more around the bottom, so it kind of just envelopes you. I think it’s awesome. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

Here it is styled again! Before I was wearing it with a white tee, skinny jeans, and booties. Now I’m wearing it with my rust tee, straight leg jeans, and mules. I love both looks.
I think these leopard mules are the perfect choice for this outfit. Comfy and true to size! Make sure you check the coupon box for 12% OFF.

HOW CUTE ARE THESE PAJAMAS! They come in a 2 pack, and they’re awesome. Sooooo soft. I’m wearing a medium.
Here’s the other colorway in my 2 pack.

That fair isle orange sweater is perfection!!
Shay Shull says
Having these new drivers is such a blessing and yet such a burden. I have all the feels with you.
Amy says
Hi there. I’m not sure what’s happening but I can’t see any photos on your last few posts. Maybe it’s just me?
Sheaffer says
Oh no Amy! Hmmm, I haven’t heard of anybody else having this problem. My husband always tells me to shut down and restart whatever device I’m on when I’m having an issue, and 9x out of 10, it fixes the problem. Keep me posted!
Brandi says
Hey just wanted to chime in and let you know it’s happening to me as well. This is the only page I’m having this issue with.
Sheaffer says
Okay, somebody else just e-mailed as well. I just e-mailed my tech guy. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know, Brandi!
