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!

FUN OUTFITS FOR NOW AND LATER
I’ve got a handful of outfits for y’all today that are easy to wear at home (so you’re comfy right now) and great to wear later when things get back to normal (because they are super cute)!
I absolutely adore this Happy Camper tee and think it’s going to fly off the shelves. First of all, it’s obviously DARLING. I love the green color and the graphic makes me smile. The material is very soft, it’s got a great fit, I love the vintage feel, and I know I’ll wear it a ton.
It’s a fabulous deal at just under $20. I believe it’s actually a men’s tee, but it has a feminine fit, and I still got a medium so it wouldn’t be too tight in the chest. See it on me in the next pic!
If you love this tee, you have to check out all of the designs available from Tee Luv. You won’t believe the awesome choices!

Since we’ve already talked about the tee, let’s talk about the Amazon denim shorts. I’m wearing the mid blue and really like them, but there does seem to be a sizing issue with them (both online reviews mention sizing). I ordered my regular size and they were wayyyyy too tight. But I like the fit after ordering up a size (I’m wearing a 28).
And if you notice my shoes here, they are my Birkenstock dupes I got from JC Penney a couple of years ago. WELL. I wear them all the time. In fact, I wear them so much that I’m actually considering getting a pair of real ones after resisting for so many years! I know you either love Birks or hate them, and although I use to not care for them at all, you can now add me to the new LOVE category.
What can I say, they grew on me.

This tee is just as soft as the Happy Camper tee, and I love the “Bring On The Sunshine” message. I know that we all live for sunshine right now! I took off the Amazon shorts and through on my favorite denim shorts EVER since they are NOW ON SALE. I really like the slouchy fit and the fact that they have a great amount of stretch in them. Totally comfy and still flattering. I’m wearing my regular size 27s.
And fyi, 10 minutes before I took this picture I was pasty white. But my aggressive paleness was nothing my favorite tanner couldn’t fix! I think I first used this product last summer, and now I’m very loyal. I love the mitt it comes with and I love that you can see the color as it goes on. It’s pretty much a fail proof application, and the color is very natural.

This cardigan is 40% OFF and so is the tee. It’s perfect for later when you are back in the office and out in the world, but it’s also PERFECT for now! Have a Zoom call and wearing a tee and pj pants? THROW ON A CARDI AND SOME EARRINGS AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO!
I’m wearing a medium in the tee and the cardi and a 4 in the jeans. I’d talk more about the jeans (because they’re awesome) but there’s only 2 sizes left, so I don’t want to rub the awesomeness that is these jeans in your face.
cardigan / white tee / turquoise earrings / dainty necklace / jeans / sandals
Okay, y’all. THESE PANTS are DARLING. And they are 40% OFF!!! The must have denim jacket is ON SALE too!
They are from Wit and Wisdom for all of you that are WW brand obsessed like I am. They have the power mesh panels that mold and hold, which make them both flattering and crazy comfortable (because of the stretch). They also have the waistband that offers interior control as well as booty-lift construction. YES, PLEASE.
I’m 5’4″ and they are a bit longer on me than I’d like (I’d prefer a bit more cropped), but I love them too much to even consider not keeping them. These babies are mine. I would suggest sizing down as I’m wearing a 2. They also come in olive, khaki, and navy. I know my mom would love these pants too. Mom, listen to me, you need the olive.
My cute sandals are from Target and just $19.99. I got them last year, and I’m so happy they brought them back this year. They have a padded sole and are quite comfy.

The colorful stretch bracelets deserve a close up because I have a code for them! Use the code SHOPSMALL for 30% OFF and FREE SHIPPING! If you didn’t notice, I’m also wearing them with both of the graphic tees at the beginning of the post.
The cute little pj set is $20 and on PRIME. It’s 100% cotton, and I can’t get over what a great little set it is. I went for the blush top with the plaid shorts, but there are 5 other colors/patterns to choose from.
I’m wearing a medium because I always want my pajamas to be roomy. They have near perfect reviews.
*********************************
SMALL BARRINGTON BAGS
Y’all know I’ve loved Barrington bags for a long time now. For years I’ve loved their totes (the Savannah in the camo pattern with pink and coral monogram is my favorite), the laptop cases, their sunglasses cases, their makeup bags, and their travel cosmetic kit. Well, now I have some new small bags that I love that I first shared with you a couple of weeks ago. I had several questions come in about them, so make sure you check instastories this weekend because I’ll be doing some video stories showing them up close.
They keep my purses so organized AND THEY ARE SO DANG CUTE!
And get this, everything on the site is 20% OFF right now with the code TOGETHER. This is the first time that they’ve EVER done a code this big, and it’s not going to last much longer.
Now would be a great time to grab a personalized Mother’s Day gift (last day to order for Mother’s Day Delivery is April 27th), maybe you have a friend or sister with a birthday coming up, or maybe you need an I GOT THROUGH THE WEEK present for yourself. I mean, you deserve a monogram. Haha!
And remember, when shopping at Barrington you are supporting a small business in a time of great need, and that’s a win win!
If you’ve never played around on the site, you need to go see for yourself. I could design bags all day long.

*********************************
AMAZON ADD TO CART
I don’t know about all of you ladies, but I’ve had some pretty aggressive “add to cart” days on Amazon lately.
I shared this list on facebook, but I thought I would share here too:
*I’ve never had false eyelashes, but I added these magnetic eyelashes to my cart this morning. They have incredible reviews, and I think they’ll be fun to try!
*I’m excited to receive this overnight lip mask. It has 255 near perfect reviews and is a great deal at under $15.
*This Chaos Coordinator tee is super timely right now.
*I grabbed some jewelry cleaner to make my rings sparkle.
*My nails are in desperate need of some attention, so this cuticle oil (6,800 great reviews) and this nail buffer block are on their way to me. I CANNOT WAIT to spend some time on my nails.
*These hyaluronic face mask sheets have almost 1,600 perfect reviews. I’m so excited!
*********************************
A NEW DRESS
This dress popped up as a suggested item for me while I was shopping Amazon, and I took a chance! It’s form fitting, but it’s not over the top body conscious, and it’s very comfy. It’s very similar to that dress from Nordstrom that everybody loves, but I love that this one has shorts sleeves instead of being sleeveless.
I did get a medium and like the extra give it has. It’s under $25 and comes in lots of color options.

NEUTRAL SANDALS
I ordered all of these sandals to do a neutral sandal review, but some of them are already really low in stock, so this is what you get!
My favorites are definitely the Sam Edelman cognac slides (top) and the Marc Fisher studded sandals (first left from top).

THIS KID
This kid loves being in the country. I forgot to share this picture from last time we were at the ranch. I mean, he’s just in his element.
*********************************
AUTISM TEES
My friend Candace has a son with autism. Camden is an AMAZING boy, Candace is a AMAZING mom, and Brian (the hubby) and Carson (the brother) are amazing too. I’m telling you, they are a Christ-centered family that loves hard and works hard.
I met Candace when I was Camden’s speech therapist when I worked for McKinney ISD and we remained friends even after I was no longer Camden’s therapist. I’ve talked about Candace before, because it was actually her who inspired the Special Mama giveaway that I do every year around the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Click HERE to see the shopping spree we went on way back in July of 2014! Great memories, Candace!
Candace has an Etsy shop and she designs super cute tees that bring awareness to autism and help her family to raise funds for Camden’s therapies and summer trips. Click HERE to see her newest designs, and check out her other available tees as well!
And here’s sweet Camden modeling the kid tee!
Love you, Candace!

A FAST AND EASY BREAKFAST OR LUNCH
Okay, so have y’all tried these? I saw these little cups in the grocery store (in the refrigerated section next to the eggs) a couple of months ago and decided to give them a whirl.
They come in lots of different flavor combinations, but I went with the healthiest options, the Denver scramble. When you open it up, there’s a little baggie of cheddar cheese, a little baggie of cubed ham, and a little baggie of veggies (onions, green peppers, and potatoes). I crack 2 eggs directly into the cup (the package calls for just 1 egg, but I think the amount of toppings works much better with 2 eggs), mix it up, and then pop it in the microwave. Add a little salt and pepper and you are GOOD TO GO. Seriously, I think it’s delicious.
And yes, I know that it wouldn’t be that much more trouble at all to chop all that up myself, and I often times do. But it is nice to have these in the fridge, and it would be a great easy breakfast for kids to prepare on their own because it’s all done in the microwave.
The cup has 200 calories with 1 egg and 280 calories or so with 2. The package says 8 grams of fat, but that’s with 1 egg. And it says 9g of protein, but that’s with 1 egg as well. 6g total carbs.
*********************************
MY SUNNIES AND EARRINGS
You’ve seen these sunnies recently, and you’ve been hearing about the earrings for months now. But I felt they both deserved another highlight. They are both from Amazon and both under $15.
*********************************
WEDNESDAY’S POST
If you didn’t see Wednesday’s post, go check it out! Both sweaters and the jeans below are ON SALE. And the sunglasses are ONLY $13!
********************************************
That’s it! Happy Friday, y’all!
Erika Slaughter says
Those coral pants are FUN!!! You need to be walking around your house everyday in those pants! ?
Terri says
Might want to check your math on the two-egg version; an egg only has about 80 calories. But they look good, and I’ll give ’em a try for my 16 yo, who is the only teenaged boy who, left to his own devices, would just not eat. It’s baffling.
Sheaffer says
Ha! Oops! I just doubled the calories, not taking all of the other contents of the cup into consideration. I’ll go fix that now. Thanks!
Heather says
I read about your dear friend Candace on your blog a long time ago and immediately checked out her Etsy shop. As an autism mom and advocate for my son, I have bought many t-shirts from Counting On Hope. I love her shop and Candace!!
Sheaffer says
This makes my heart so happy, Heather! Thanks for supporting Candace! xoxo
Candace says
So appreciate your support, Heather!! I’m glad Sheaffer connected us! 🙂
Melissa says
You are just 2 cute for words!!!
Sheaffer says
Well, you are awfully sweet Melissa. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind comment! xoxo
Melanie says
Hi Sheaffer! The coral pants look very flared at the bottom on the Nordstrom site. Did you find that as well? Yours don’t look that way.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Melanie! I agree that mine don’t look flared. Maybe they would look more flared if they were more cropped on my frame? I actually like the flared look and was expecting that, so I wouldn’t have minded it. I have no idea why mine seem to be more straight?!? Sorry I’m not more help. xoxo
Tarah Crowder says
Hi! Super Cute finds! What size are you wearing in the happy camper tee?
Sheaffer says
Thanks, Tarah! I’m wearing a medium! If I didn’t need room in the chest, a small would have been fine. xoxo
Heather says
Hi Shaeffer! I can’t get Accessory Concierge to accept the discount code. Any help please?
Thanks so much!
Sheaffer says
I’m so sorry, I wrote it wrong! It’s SHOPSMALL. Xoxo
Arika says
You will not regret buying Birkenstocks. If you try a pair, consider the Gizeh style. They really look cute on, and they are so comfy. I wear then on repeat ALL SUMMER. Seriously, I’m not sure why I have not gotten rid of all other sandals, because those are the only ones I reach for.
Sheaffer says
Good feedback! Thanks, Arika! xoxo
Maureen says
Hi Sheaffer,
Very cute post as usual. Wondering about the blue striped blouse in the pi with your earrings and sunnies. Any info? Thanks
Sheaffer says
Hi, Maureen! Search “Amazon Essentials Women’s Classic-Fit Long-Sleeve Poplin Shirt” on Amazon. I think this exact color is sold out in most sizes (which is why I didn’t link it), but there are other options. It’s a great shirt!!! xoxo
Stephanie says
Hey lady! First off I LOVE your posts…as a petite mom always on the go and hunting for a cute bargain, your posts are genius! So, per your recommendation, I purchased a kut from the kloth ‘helena’ jacket last summer, in a medium wash, figuring it would go with more of my wardrobe. This morning, I was so happy to see that the ‘sweet’ color you have been raving about is on sale at nordstrom, so i put it in my cart. I had some errands to run today, including walmart….um low and behold, i saw this gem there…its a bit lighter in color than your beloved ‘sweet’ kftk jacket, but for get this, FIFTEEN DOLLARS, it fit my bill…and it has excellent reviews, and I’m telling you, the small fits me and is nicely comparable to the medium kftk sizing In the Helena style. Its slightly fitted, cropped to a good length and very stretchy, while going back to its original shape. Check it out and I hope you can share it with everyone!

Sheaffer says
STEPHANIE! That is DARLING! What a great find! I found lots of great pieces at Walmart last year, and overall I was very impressed with the quality!!!! xoxo
Candace says
I still miss having you work with Camden, but I am incredibly grateful for your support and friendship. You have such a beautiful heart and you crack me up! Thanks so much for sharing the autism tees. As a camping family, I love that green Happy Camper tee! Super cute!
Sheaffer says
Oh my goodness, friend. Thank you so much for the kind words. I think your whole family is so awesome and I’m so glad I still get to see your faces at church! I mean, eventually. 😉 Love you big! xoxo
Beth says
Wondering about the denim shorts…. they look pretty short on the website, but it looks as though maybe you unrolled them once? Can you do that or is the cuff sewn together? (does that make sense?) I really like them, but am afraid as shown on the website they would be too short for me…. 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Beth! They are pretty short (I’m 5’4″ but with long legs for my frame), but I did not unroll them. They are tacked up on the side. Hope this helps! xoxo
Beth says
It does! Thank you! Been meaning to comment somewhere, I bought the Revlon hair dryer-brush. LIFE CHANGING!!!! Lol. Thanks for the recommendation!
Sheaffer says
YAY, BETH! So happy you love it!!!! It is truly amazing. xoxo
Jeanna George says
Hi Sheaffer! I love your blog and look forward to reading it! I probably buy more than I should. Well, at least that’s what my husband says…. anyway, I bought the dainty Kendra Scott necklace and I love it! I thought I read in one of your posts that you wear it all the time. Have you ever gotten it wet? The reason I ask, is usually the Kendra Scott pieces will tarnish when they get wet. I want to wear this necklace all the time, just nervous too. I just wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Thank you!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Jeanna! Thank you so much for being a loyal reader! I have been wearing it for about 2 months now…all the time..even in the shower. However, I have heard from several readers that it will most likely eventually tarnish if I continue to do this. 🙁
