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.
********************
THIS NECKLACE
I’m soooooooooooo excited about this necklace that I ordered yesterday. I can hardly wait to start styling it in outfits!
********************
THIS BOMBER
I’m not wild about this bomber jacket all zipped up like this, but worn open over a basic white tee with the necklace above? I KNOW I’LL LOVE IT. It will be on my doorstep on Saturday!

OTHER ITEMS IN MY CART
Actually, if we are being totally honest, these things aren’t in my cart anymore. THEY ARE NOW ON THEIR WAY TO ME.
mixed media lace top / rugby stripe sweater / lace linen top
ruffle chambray top / striped short sleeve sweater / raw hem crop straight leg jeans

SWEATER SALE
This weekend you can get 30% OFF sweaters at Avara! No code needed, and the sale price will automatically show up in your cart. There are some really really great ones included in the sale.
This striped cardi is straight up fabulous. And while I can wear it now, I feel like I’ll be able to wear it all the way into early summer too! It’s a lightweight knit, and the colors and stripes are of course darling. The colors are just so bright and happy. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
These kick wash flare jeans look cropped on the model, but they are closer to full length on me (I’m 5’4″ with long legs for my height and no torso). For these colder months, I actually like this length. However, I might end up shortening them for spring and summer. Since they are a frayed hem, I’m thinking I’m just going to take a pair of scissors to them and take off a couple of inches. For size reference, I’m wearing a size 4.

This sweater combines a bold pink and bold orange together for this vibrant sweater with fun wavy stripes. It’s thicker and much warmer than the above cardi. The colors absolutely pop and are so eye-catching! I do think it runs a bit big. I’m wearing a medium and like the fit, but I think a small would be just fine too.

And I thought I would show the first striped cardi styled with a couple more pairs of jeans…
THESE JEANS are so SO good. They fit like a glove… but like a really comfy and stretchy glove that still has some structure to it. I think they are super flattering, and I’m so glad I took a chance on this to new (to me) brand. Thanks for the suggestion, Conner! #connertoldmeto They run true to size. I’m wearing a 27.

Also at Avara right now, these white kick flare jeans are so dang good. The reviews are EXCELLENT (over 250 great reviews). People LOVE these jeans. They’ve got some stretch, they hug you in all the right places, and they’re not see thru. Everything I look for in a white jean. I did size up to a 28 (at their suggestion), and I’m glad I did.

FAVORITE BURGER
My family’s favorite burger BY FAR is at Local Yocal. If you live in McKinney, you need to give it a try!

SOCCER SEASON
Soccer season is in full-force and we’ve been playing A LOT of soccer. We had two 3-day tournaments in two weeks, plus our regular games, so we played 10 games in 2 weeks.

THE 2016 TREND
The last couple of weeks on Instagram I’ve loved seeing everybody’s 2016 flashback content. It’s so much fun to take a look back!
I went deep in the archives and pulled some 2016 pics from the blog. I can’t even tell you how many outfits included the must have denim jacket. MAN I LOVED THAT JACKET, and it truly did go with just about any outfit! And I mean, who could forget the wooden tassel necklace from Accessory Concierge (bottom middle) and my love for Barrington bags (bottom left)?!?
And y’all, if you were around back then, maybe you remember my Bachelor recaps?!?
***************
That’s all for today, y’all! Have a wonderful weekend with your people!

You are literally the first person I ever “followed” for clothing ideas (thank you for the denim jackets), your bachelor recaps and OMGEEE I had those wooden tassel necklaces as well. (I may have kept 1 or 2 i have to look LOL!) You have always been a wonderful follow, and I am thankful I found you all those years ago. I was trying to think how many years, but I have been following you for as long as you have done this! Thanks for the wonderful ideas through the years! Have a great FriYAY and weekend!! <3!!
Sheaffer says
AMY!!!!! Thank you so much for this sweet message. I still have the tassel necklace, and the turquoise stone necklace too! I’ll be honest, I’m hoping they both come back in rotation at some point. 🙂 Thanks for being a loyal follower. I appreciate you so much!!! xoxo
Kathy says
Yes, I remember the jean jacket! You’ve stayed so pretty and fashionable. Keep up the good work. Your blog has stayed consistently good!
Sheaffer says
Well, you are one of the followers that makes me smile every single time you leave a comment. SO THANKFUL FOR YOU, Kathy!!! xoxo
Shay Shull says
2016 looked GOOD on you! The Bachelor recaps will forever make me think of our trip to LA when you and I were in that plane crash 😉 .
Sheaffer says
I mean, we almost died. 😉
Marla says
I miss the Bachelor recaps !!!

I e never stopped with the denim jackets and dresses! Loved that era of you!
Sheaffer says
Neither have I, Monica. Neither have I. 🙂 xoxo
Carole George says
I must have found your blog around 2016 because I remember all those things! Your Bachelor recaps were legendary!!
Sheaffer says
Thanks, Carole! They were fun!!! xoxo
Brenda says
Sheaffer! That 2016 recap! I found your page because of those Bachelor recaps and I’ve been here ever since! AND – I recently just realized that I still have that tassel necklace hanging on a jewelry organizer I have. While I haven’t worn it in quite some time, it’s almost become a sentimental piece, because I was so excited to place one of my first orders from your recommendations!
Have a great weekend!
Sheaffer says
Well, Brenda… this message made me smile so big. 🙂 I LOVE that wooden tassel necklace. Always have, always will. And even though I’ve purchased probably 10 denim jackets since the first must have denim jacket, I will always keep the first one because of the sentimental value too! xoxo
