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!
*************************************************
I’ve got lots of great favorites to share with you today, but I also want to make sure you’ve seen my other posts this week. I would love it if you would take the time to go check out my BEAUTY POST and my FALL TARGET PICKS post if you haven’t seen them yet! Good stuff!
Now, let’s get started today with some of my current favorites…
**************************************************
WHAT I WORE
I did a segment called WHAT I WORE on last Friday’s post, and a reader suggested I make it a regular thing. I thought it was such a simple idea and wondered why the heck I hadn’t thought of it myself. A huge thanks to Pamela for the idea!
I might even make WHAT I WORE it’s own blog post on occasion, but today you’re just going to get just a couple of outfits. I spent a lot of time at home this week in front of the computer, and since most of my outfits didn’t include pants, I didn’t think you would be super interested in seeing them. Haha!
What I Wore (To The Mall and Running Around Town)
This outfit could be worn with lots of different types of shoes…over the knee boots, taupe booties, or Converse just to name a few. But I think the leopard flats give it just the dose of sass that it needs, and they definitely dress it up a bit.
These are all pieces that you’ve seen MANY times before on the blog, so all of the individual pieces are great staples. I’m wearing a medium in the tee and jacket, a regular size 4 in the jeans, and the flats are true to size.

What I Wore (To Meet Bennett)
I announced this on Wednesday’s post, but Conner had her baby on Monday!!! This is what I wore to the hospital to meet our newest little family member.
I’m wearing a small in the cardi, a medium in the tee, a 4 in the jeans, and I recommend sizing down a 1/2 in the mesh sneakers. Click HERE if you want to get to the post where I thoroughly reviewed both the cardi and the jeans.

Look at the tiny widdle biddy baby. He’s just so flipping adorable.
And look how amazing Conner looked hours after she pushed him out. Impressive, don’t you think?
And here’s Brody with his new little brother. He’s settling into his big brother role quite nicely!

CUTE UNDER $20 PAJAMAS
I have a post coming up next week that I’m VERY excited about. I’m especially looking forward to sharing this snakeskin bag and this sweater (I got it in black and hot pink). The bag and the sweaters are FABULOUS. You would never in a million years guess that they are from Walmart! #gasp #buttheyare #andtheyareawesome
When placing the order for that post, I threw these pajamas into my cart. They are INCREDIBLY soft, very cool to sleep in (I don’t do hot pajamas), and I love the design. There’s a heart on the front left hip, and although I thought I wasn’t going to like it, it doesn’t both me at all. In fact, I think it’s kind of cute. I’m wearing a medium.
*************************************************
BACK IN STOCK ALERTS
Over the last week I’ve noticed that several items I’ve talked about before are BACK IN STOCK! Like this ruffle plaid top that I love.
ruffle plaid top / my favorite earrings ever / black jeans/ long necklace sold out /similar black bag/ similar cognac booties
The shirt was actually sent to me by the brand, but when I first pulled it out, I wasn’t in love with it. The cut seemed weird, and the black and brown plaid didn’t get me excited.
BUT Y’ALL. After I put it on I actually really loved it. All of a sudden the cut was interesting, (not just your basic button up), flattering (I love the v in the front), and the plaid was fun because it was different than any others I have. I thought it was a perfect pairing with black jeans! I’m wearing my regular small, and it’s definitely over-sized, so size down for a closer fit or if between sizes.
I think the overall look is perfect for Fall.

THE MOTO JACKET IS BACK! I couldn’t believe what a great deal this jacket was when it first came out, and I was pumped when I saw they brought it back. It’s totally cool, a little bit edgy, and a fantastic deal at just UNDER $100. I love the gold hardware so much. I’m wearing a medium in the moto jacket, a medium in the super soft fleece long sleeve tee, and a 4 in the jeans.

And here’s the same jacket, dressed up a bit with some tall black boots. This is a really great jacket.
black v neck sweater/ moto jacket / ankle jeans/ black boots
Y’ALL! THIS SWEATER IS BACK. IT’S SO GOOD. And it’s ONLY $28.95. And it’s stupid soft. And great quality. And you need it.
This is the mocha, but it comes in several colors, and I think the red rust is gorgeous too.
All of the pieces in this outfit are awesome basics.
sweater / earrings / jeans / leopard flats
The famous fleece v neck is back!
I’m wearing the grey one above with the moto jacket, and here it is in a really pretty blush. It’s made of their signature fleece fabric and the v neck is feminine and flattering. It’s lightweight, incredibly soft, and just plain cute. I’m wearing my regular size small, but I think you could size down in this one and be fine. I grabbed this soft blush, but it comes in 4 other colors.

Kut from the Kloth has brought back their stretchy cords!!! These cords are such a great alternative to jeans. For all of you that work in a school or office environment that can’t wear jeans, you have got to try these! The regulars are several inches too long on me, but that’s great news for you taller ladies! I’m wearing a 4P. They are mid rise, a relaxed fit, super soft, and extremely comfortable for all day wear.
I love that they have a great amount of stretch, but they don’t sag. They come in lots of different colors, so there’s something for everybody. And you should see the reviews. Almost 1,000 5 STAR reviews!

NEW TO SALE
I’m a big fan of mustard this Fall, so I was obviously drawn to this top. I like the shape of it and the overall style, but it’s not super soft. It’s not itchy or anything, I just wish it was a bit cozier. Still, I kept it because the color is perfection. I’m wearing a small.
AND NOW IT’S 40% OFF!
mustard v neck sweater / pave disc necklace/ must have earrings/ scarf / cognac tote / tortoise ring belt / raw hem ankle jeans/ tiger flats
This fleece was one of my most worn items last year, so I’m definitely grabbing a 2nd color now that it’s ON SALE. Thinking I’m going to get the maroon and lilac combo.
Don’t you just love the stand up collar with the snaps? #becauseimobsessed
For size reference, I sized up to a medium and am glad I did.
This top has been a favorite for a couple of years. This is the first picture I found when I saw it was ON SALE! I’m wearing a small. It’s incredibly soft and comes in 3 additional colors.
OTHER SALE ITEMS:
This colorblock Madewell cardi. Size down!
I saw this sleep spray on sale and I was intrigued. It has great reviews and it’s on the way to me.
*************************************************
STYLE IT AGAIN, SHEAFFER
I LOVE THESE JOGGERS. Below you will see the first time I styled them, and you can click HERE to see that post.
I got my regular size smalls, and I love the fit, but size down if between sizes. They are obviously super comfy, but I also think they are incredibly flattering.
crew neck camo tee (v neck camo tee) / Amazon denim jacket / joggers / cross body bag strap (use the code BUILDABAG for 40% OFF!) / mesh sneakers
So many of you bought them, and I’ve been receiving lots of message that you love them too!!! I’ve also received some messages asking for additional ways to style them. So, today you are getting a mini Style it Again, Sheaffer post!
Do you remember this top from my last Amazon post? I wore it first with cropped leggings (click HERE to see), and now I’ve paired it with the joggers! This funnel neck sweatshirt is what sweatshirt dreams are made of. The funnel neck adds lots of style, and I love the relaxed vibe it gives. And it has thumb holes too! I’m wearing a medium.
funnel neck sweatshirt / resin earrings / joggers / mesh sneakers
You’ve seen this fleece pullover with leggings HERE, and yep…now with the joggers!
fleece pullover / joggers / mesh sneakers
And again, with a different color tee and the same denim jacket.
Madewell tee/ Amazon denim jacket / joggers / scarf / cognac tote / mesh sneakers
I wore this olive green hoodie with jeans in a post last month, and now with the joggers! Click HERE to see it with jeans.
And listen, I know I’m not going to be making any fashion headlines with these outfits, but that’s okay! These are outfits I wear in my real life when I don’t have to be “dressed”.

AMAZON SNEAK PEEK
My monthly Amazon posts are definitely a favorite for me. I have a lot of fun putting the posts together, but it’s no secret that they do take quite a bit of work. The good news is that I think they are totally worth it!
My monthly posts are typically towards the end of the month, but I order stuff from Amazon all month long because I want to make sure that I have enough items I love that I want to feature. I usually return roughly half of what I order, which is why I order throughout the month instead of placing one monstrous order.
One day last week I hopped on and ordered 6 things. And they are all really good. I’ll show them on me next week, but I couldn’t resist giving a sneak peek today.
ALL ON PRIME!
exaggerated neck relaxed fit sweater / colorblock sweater / leopard sweater
The lighting is messing with the sweater, but the sweater on the left is a true camel color. The color on the website is very representative of what color it is in real life.
camel sweater / leopard sweater
Size down in this coat for sure. I ordered the small, but I need the x-small.
And, y’all. These mules are $23. TWENTY THREE DOLLARS. They have a padded foot bed, are very comfy, and slip on easily (but don’t slip off when I walk)!

That’s it for today! Have a wonderful weekend with your people!

Great outfits! Have admired the mesh sneakers and finally broke down and bought them. They. Are. So. Comfortable. Like slippers and perfect for a no fuss yet polished look for doing errands, getting things done, etc. Thank you for the recommendation.

Ah! I have a Nordstrom gift card that I was waiting for something fabulous to see and I just snagged that moto jacket! Yay! Congrats on the new nephew!!
Kelly says
Yay!! Such a fun post!
Wondering… any pajamas that you love that have mix and match sizes for top and bottom? I love sets, but my body needs two different sizes. Thoughts?
Also – do you know anything about these? Have you tried them? https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/wit-wisdom-ab-solution-high-waist-ankle-skinny-pants-regular-petite-nordstrom-exclusive/5109069/full?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FBrands%2FWit%20%26%20Wisdom&color=wine

Lindsey Childs says
Hi! I love how organized your posts are! Quick question….what is the rise of your “favorite black jeans”. High rise are my go-ti.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Lindsey! Thank you!!! They are a solid mid rise. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Kimberly Clayton says
How funny-I ordered that Amazon essentials sweater in the camel with a round neck and just got it yesterday! Love it and it’s the perfect weight for Houston. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F2LRY5G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I’m obsessed with all your jogger outfits!! You inspired me to mix up my combos!
Lisa says
Hello there and congrats to your fam!! Would Conner consider sharing her favorite maternity clothes? I copied her black maternity pants from the Loft and loved them. I’d like to know what else she found useful. Maybe it could be a side post? Just a thought. 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Lisa! I will ask her!!! xoxo
Lisa says
I ordered the black jeans and they arrived this week and I’m in love! I’m 5 weeks postpartum and these make me feel like a million bucks, thanks for the suggestion!
Sheaffer says
Awesome! So happy to hear this, Lisa!!!! xoxo

For my 35 birthday, I splurged on a bunch of your favs from Nordstroms. I’ve been absolutely loving The Essential hoop earrings, my black Sorel wedges (my kickass boots, as I call them) and the hooded moto jacket. I feel like such a stylish lady now! I also got your sunnies, leopard/black reversible tote bag, rose salve, leopard flats, and for my first time trying: a couple pairs of “huggies.”
I never considered myself a fashionista or even stylish! Your blog has really helped me develop a sense of style and apply myself. Of course, money/spending on nice items helps! Thanks for the guidance and inspiration.
