It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika, Andrea, and Narci to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now!
Let’s start off with a super soft top that’s ON SALE for $35.90 The top I’m wearing in the picture below is actually called “red” on the site, but it’s clearly not red at all. It’s very much a “wine” or a “burgundy” color. I’m doing a 1/2 tuck here, but it’s also cute worn out. If under 5’4″, you could probably wear it with leggings as well. I’m wearing a small, but I might could have even sized down 1 size (just not sure since I didn’t try it).
I haven’t washed mine yet, but there was a conversation on facebook last night and one reader left the following information: I’ve only washed it once so far but I used a regular cycle (not delicate) with cold water and laid it flat to dry. It holds its shape and softness very well. – Rhonda S. Click HERE if you want to see the post where lots of other readers that already have this top left comments professing their love.
Another reader left this comment: LOVE my top like this…in fact ended up ordering in 3 colors. I actually sized up to be sure it would look good with leggings but it still doesn’t look too big or baggy. Thanks for the tip, Dorothy!

And just fyi……the MUST HAVE BOOTS have changed color online now. When I initially named these a MUST HAVE last week, the “cookie dough” color online was much lighter than the pair I received (even though I ordered the “cookie dough”). Some readers were receiving the lighter color boots (pictured online), and some were receiving my color. Well, the picture online is now an accurate representation of the boots I received. And good news, they are still on sale. They are very comfy and have such great detail. Click HERE to see the original post with a more thorough review of the boots.
And here’s the same top, with regular ol’ denim and a pair of booties. It would also be cute in a super casual look with minimal jewelry (no necklace and a pair of stud earrings) and shoreline converse!

The girls at Accessory Concierge reached out to me yesterday and wanted to know if I liked these pom pom scarves. Um, HECK YES! I have a couple of them on their way to me (thank you, A.C.!), but today they have given us a 50% OFF code! Use the code STMTplaid to get 50% OFF!

Here you can see the scarves styled two different ways: 1) as a wrap and 2) as a more traditional scarf.

I’ve had several requests lately to show my mom more! #sheisdarling #iknow I gave her a couple of sweaters and a couple pairs of pants for Christmas, and when I knew she was wearing one of the outfits out, I told her to snap some pics and send them to me.
HOW GREAT DOES SHE LOOK! And her cords are 40% OFF!

So let’s talk about my mom’s pants. They are boot cut cords, but the black color is almost sold out…so I thought I would give y’all another option. The Wit and Wisdom black boot cut jeans are now FINALLY available again in black! Hurry, before they’re gone!
But if it’s cords that you are looking for, you’ve got lots of color options in the skinny cords! AND FOR SUCH AN AMAZING SALE PRICE at $35.90. And they have great reviews. I had a pair of these last year and really loved them. They are stretchy and awesome. I think I accidentally gave them away when doing a closet clean out (DANGIT!), so I’m considering ordering another pair at this price!

I had a reader e-mail me this week asking if there was an easy way to get to all of Conner’s Work Wear posts, and the answer is YES! You can click HERE to see all of them, but you can always go to the search bar on my blog in the right hand sidebar (right below the picture of the bra) and type in “Conner’s Closet“!
In case you’re new here, my sister Conner does a monthly series featuring outfit ideas that are perfect for office environments. One of her outfits from last month is ON SALE! In fact, both the blouse and the skirt are on sale, and then an additional 60% OFF! Ooooh!
Here’s what Conner had to say about the outfit: I was debating whether or not to order this skirt, but I’m so glad I did. If you pull it up online, it looks much brighter on the website than it actually is in person. It’s feminine, but still very professional. Plus…it has pockets! The ruffle blouse is such a good staple. I’ve also paired it with my red Marisa pants and about a million other pieces in my closet. I am wearing my standard sizes (00 petite skirt, XXS blouse). I’m wearing my black Kendra Scott drop earrings, the Sam Edelman shoes, and the Loft flannel tights. Both the top and the skirt are machine washable!

And check this out, from another one of Conner’s previous posts!!!! The utility blouse (a closet staple and a favorite for both of us) is ON SALE for $35 (and 2 colors are on sale for $14.88)!!!! And the Marisa skinny ankle pants (a favorite of mine for going on 4 years now) are ONLY $39.50 (regularly $69.50)!

Oh my goodness! I just saw that Conner’s favorite blouse from her last post is ON SALE for $14.88! It’s much more vibrant in person! Here’s what she had to say about it:
This outfit is my absolute favorite. The pictures don’t do it justice. This blouse is to DIE for. The teal, black, and gold colors are GORGEOUS. I received no less than 10 compliments on the blouse the first time I wore it. The details are just perfect…you can’t see it in the picture, but the sleeves have pleats/ruffles around the wrists. I die. The quality is amazing and the blouse looks really expensive, but don’t worry, it’s not! ???? Plus, you can’t go wrong with the Marisa ankle pants. Trust me, you need a pair in EVERY color. I’m wearing a pair of Accessory Concierge copper druzy drop earrings that are no longer available (they still have them in gold), but THESE earrings are the same copper color and match the blouse PERFECTLY! Get them, hurry! I’m wearing the Sam Edelman Hazel black suede shoes in a 5.5, the blouse is an XXS, and the pants are a 00 petite. Both the pants and blouse are machine washable.

There’s actually a great selection of shirts and blouses, ALL $14.88!!!!! CRAZY!

My friend Brooke’s family is adopting a precious girl from China. The sweet ladies over at Be The Light Project are helping them to raise funds to bring her home! They’ve extended the fundraiser through January, and 50% of all proceeds go towards bringing Willow home. They just added this necklace back to the shop, and it’s one of the most popular designs! They make the perfect gift or you can treat yourself! Click HERE to shop and be a part of this beautiful story.

We went to the ranch with family friends for New Years. We had THE BEST TIME EVER. So good in fact, that I took like 2 pictures. #badblogger
We got tons of fireworks, and the kids had a blast watching them shoot off the dock!

And if you didn’t see my post yesterday, then you didn’t see this collage…and I can’t have that. 😉
It’s that time of year again where I start eating less tacos and start eating more apples. I also kick up my workouts (my neighbor tried to kill me dead yesterday morning with the new program we are doing called Max Out). Good news though, I’m going to look cute when I stop breathing and pass out.

I was going to comment on how cute the scarves were…but then you showed a pic of your precious mama and I forgot all about them. She’s so cute!!! Happy Friday! xo
Erika Slaughter says
Love seeing your mama on here today! Her outfit is so cute. And the Pom Pom scarves are fabulous!
Megan says
For some reason the cookie dough color-gate is cracking me up. You got Nordstrom to change their color discription. That’s influence! Ha!
Your mom and sister are so adorable. I love seeing what works on them as well. Happy Friday!

Narci says
Those scarves are so fun! And, your mama and sis are just precious!! That tassel necklace your mama is wearing is one of my favorites! 🙂
Christina says
You, your momma and sister! Cute family! Funny that they updated the boot picture. Mine came yesterday and seem great!! I’m just wondering what sock you wear with them? My boots are a perfect fit but leaving very little room for socks. I’m wondering if the leather will soften up and stretch just a tad.
Sheaffer says
I haven’t had trouble with any of my socks with them, but maybe you should do some thin trouser socks. LOFT has some great ones! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Brooke Richardson says
Thank you for sharing our precious Willow! I love those Pom Pom scarves…..so cute!!!
Susanne says
Will you be doing a weekly post of your healthy eating/exercise/weight loss? I remember you doing that one year and I loved it! Please?!?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Susanne! I’m so sorry, but I’m not planning on doing that this year. 🙁 It was a lot of extra work, and I just don’t think I have it in me this year. I probably will do periodic updates though, so look out for those! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Kelly says
I received the “must have” boots this week and the color appears to be slightly lighter than yours but not nearly “cookie dough”. I ordered a half size up because that’s what I normally do for boots and the right boot fits perfectly but the left boot is tight in the calf. Tight, as in I have to work to get it zipped up entirely. However, once they are on it’s fine and I think with a couple wearings it might stretch a bit. So, all in all, I’m happy with the purchase and I will think fondly of you, Sheaffer, every time I wear them. Which might be every day. :). Also, today’s super soft top is on back order but it’s going in my cart anyway:0 Happy Friday, Sheaffer!
Kelsey says
Your Bachelor recap was hysterical!! Love that you all have the ranch to go to relax as a family!
Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams says
I love your humor Sheaffer! I always enjoy the bachelor recaps, but I really just laughed out loud at the “Good news though, I’m going to look cute when I stop breathing and pass out” line haha. Happy New Year!

Hi Sheaffer, on the KUT black boot cut cords on your mom, do they have the lines like all corduroys have? or its more like a velvety feel? i cannot tell by the picture on the site. i love the colors, they look rich and creamy to me. But again, screen colors are brighter than when I receive my items. Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Lilly! They have more of a velvety feel! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Sherry Kenney says
I love the Wit and Wisdom jeans! Thanks for turning me on to those! Have you had any trouble with your black ones fading? I recently bought a new pair and can tell my old ones have faded some. How do you care for yours? Thanks!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Sherry! Unless I get them dirty, I just clean my jeans after every several wears. I dry clean them (even though it doesn’t say to)…but I do that with a lot of my clothes. Sorry I’m not more help! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Tara says
I just ordered the red super soft top. What brand/color lipstick are you wearing with it in the pic? Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Tara! It’s Lancome and called “fashion icon”. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Tara says
Thank you! It looks so pretty:)
Deanna says
Love all the scarves and the boots!
Lily says
Hi Sheaffer,
In the third picture of your sister in law, where she is wearing the floral pintuck blouse and the marisa ankle pants. Do you happen to know the color pants she’s wearing? I can’t tell? Thank you! 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Lily! They are black! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Lily says
Thank you so much! ☺️
