FAVORITE #2: THIS DRESS
I’ve been dress shopping a lot lately because I have a couple of events coming up that really need a sweet little dress. And I gotta say, dress shopping is hard!
I’m going to a charity lunch for The Genesis Women’s Shelter with a friend on Tuesday, and then the first weekend in June I have an outdoor wedding. I wanted to find a dress that worked for both occasions, and I think I found it!
It’s way more than I’ve ever spent on a dress before, but I fell in love…..
and if you’ve tried on over 20 dresses with no luck, you almost don’t even care how much the dress THAT DOES WORK is.
I think it would work with both heels or wedges depending on the occasion.
And I feel like I might be able to throw it on with a denim jacket to dress it down too when wearing wedges.
dress HERE / MK wedges HERE
*I told you guys on Wednesday that even though these wedges look great, they are NOT comfy.
So I took them back yesterday, and I’ve ordered THESE.
(Sadly, my DV wedges that I ADORED broke! DANGIT! I took them back to Nordstrom, but they were out of my size and they couldn’t find a pair in my size anywhere. So, I ended up ordering the criss-cross version. However, when those arrived, they had what looked like water spots on them.
And even if they hadn’t had the spots, I didn’t feel like the cris cross version was as comfy. Boo!
I took those back, and when I did, they were then out of both the single strap version and the cris cross version in my size. It’s like the wedge universe was against me.)
#wedgedrama
Anyway, the ones I’ve ordered are quite a bit cheaper than the MK ones,
so I’m going to call it a WIN!
I did order 1/2 a size up based on all of the reviews.
ANYHOO.
BACK TO THE DRESS.
Isn’t it sweet and fun? I love all of the colors and the the unique cut.
AND IT HAS POCKETS.
SO COME ON!!!!
#pocketsforpresident
For size reference, I’m wearing a 4 in the dress.
Favorite #3: Easy Spring and Summer Top
blouse HERE (all Lush tops HERE)
For size reference, I’m wearing an x-small in the top.
jeans HERE / $8 chunky studs HERE / necklace HERE (clear sold out, pink still available) / sandal HERE / similar sandal with gold toe HERE / watch HERE
This blouse definitely needs a cami under it. Not because it’s see through, but because the deep V can show the girls if you aren’t being careful. 🙂 It’s loose and easy and just fun.
Click HERE for the $12 BP cami.
Favorite #4:

Favorite #5: THESE LIVE IN CAPRIS AND THIS PULLOVER
GIRLS. I know these are work-out pants and a pullover, but if I had to choose my VERY Favorites out of all my favorites today, you’re lookin’ at them.
THESE pants and THIS pullover straight up make me happy.
Fair warning: the pants will most probably sell out.
They always do.
Size References: I’m wearing a small in the leggings, a small in the pullover, and the shoes are true to size.

FAVORITE #6: Talking Men’s Swim with Nordstrom
I told you all on Wednesday that I’m in the middle of working on a women’s swimsuit post with Nordstrom (it should go live next Friday)!
They also asked me to talk about men’s swimsuits, and I obliged.
They have a HUGE selection in every length and design imaginable!
I about died when I saw THIS one. WHAT. THE. HECK.
They confuse me, and I’m a little concerned that I will never be able to un-see that image.
Here are some choices that didn’t make my gag reflex kick up:
a. HERE ($42) / b. HERE ($60) and LOTS of color options/ c. HERE ($65) /
d. HERE ($59.50) / e. HERE ($65) / f. HERE ($35)
g. HERE ($89.50) / h. HERE ($69) / i. HERE ($50) /

Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring the men’s swim portion of this post!
Favorite #7: Women’s Swim PREVIEW
As mentioned a second ago, my Nordstrom women’s swim post is going live next week.
I hadn’t planned on doing one, but I got lots of requests after I did the cover-up post last week, so I thought WHAT THE HECK!
Today you are going to get a sneak peek of me in an actual swimsuit.
Yes.
I’m actually in an actual swimsuit.
In a picture.
On a public blog.
Whatever.
I’m just owning it.
None of us are perfect. None of us love every single part of our bodies.
But we can all find something to like!
Something to be proud of!
Right?
RIGHT?
Bueller?
🙂
I know many of you (like me) don’t feel comfortable wearing bikinis. (Don’t get me wrong. I don’t see ANYTHING wrong with wearing bikinis, I just don’t like them on me. If you like rocking a bikini, then go on with your bad self!!!!) 🙂
So….my post will be featuring tankinis only.
I like one pieces too, but I couldn’t find any that were flattering this time around.
I did get a couple of e-mails asking about skirted swimsuits (y’all wanted to know if they were too grandma!), so I thought I would try one of those too.
That’s what you are getting a sneak peek of today!
anchors away tankini top HERE / hipster swim skirt HERE /
or high waist navy bikini bottoms HERE
The top does have a strap that you can attach, which I find totally necessary when you have little ones you are taking care of at the pool! And I actually liked the skirt! It’s got some serious coverage, but I think the side ties made it cute and not grandmotherly. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 😉
For size reference:
I was wearing a small in the top, but I think an x-small would have been better.
I was wearing an x-small in the skirt and it was good.
I’m wearing my cobalt studs found HERE.

Favorite #8: A PARTY!
Okay, Girls!
I am hosting a Grand Opening party for Accessory Concierge’s new space, and I really hope all of you ladies that are local will come out to help celebrate!

There will be munchies…and wine…and special PTMT discounts…..and wine. 😉
So, mark your calendars for Thursday May 28th, grab some girlfriends, and head to Dallas for some girl time!
I can’t wait to meet some local girls!!!
I hope everybody has a wonderful weekend!!!

Sheaffer 🙂

Charming Lucy says
I am loving that dress!! Any dress with pockets is a winner in my book!! Thanks for the fun give away!! Susan
Megan Leigh says
Love the dress and those workout capris! You definitely got me hooked on Zella. Happy Friday!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Two things: first of all, you're going to need to contact the Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox and have them reschedule their game on May 28…because I really want to come to the Accessory Concierge opening! Boohoo! And second, I love the nautical swimsuit! I really, really, really love it! Happy Friday friend!
Carly says
I'm hoping for some Zella leggings for Mother's Day. I've only given a gazillion hints. *fingers crossed*
Erika Slaughter says
My two favorites from the post are that dress (so so cute) and the swimsuit (love the nautical look)!! You rocked them both! 🙂
thebusybrunette says
Okay – first, we need to talk about that dress. O…M…G. Gorgeous! And you look GREAT in it. I just love, love, love it. That was definitely a necessity. I think you'll get a lot of wear out of it!
Second, you rock for showing off a bathing suit. It looks awesome on you!
I seriously want you to take me shopping one day. I could definitely use help and I would love your input. I wish we lived closer 🙁
Just a quick request – and not sure if this is possible – but is there any way your giveaways could also include comments that are posted? I am a teacher and do not have a Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram account as our school prefers us not to…
I understand if you can't – just thought I'd ask!
Oh, and I voted (and will continue to vote) for Cassie! Woo hoo! Exciting!
TGIF!

Sheaffer says
Hi there! Sometimes our giveaways do have that option! But to be honest, when we enable comments, it becomes overwhelming with the hundreds and hundreds of comments that take over our e-mails. (I moderate my comments, so I get two e-mails for every blog comment that is left.) I will keep it in mind for future giveaways though! I don't like leaving people out! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Narci says
That dress??? Adorable!! And, you look so amazing in that suit! Love!!
Heather Breeden says
I love those floral shorts from Loft! Placed my vote for Cassie and so excited for this giveaway! Happy weekend!
karate nurse says
That dress is adorable as is that tankinki. I think swim skirts have come a long way and are very flattering and cute these days. I especially like them when at a resort or spa when I may be walking around often and don't want to put on a cover up every single time. It's like an all-in-one deal…suit and cover up! And now I have to go order those dang capris. BTW the Vigoss Tomboy Destroyed are my favorite jeans (like I wear them pretty much every day), but I think I need to order those Chelseas now!

Helen Truesdale says
Good Morning Sheaffer!
After reading about how much you loved the DV wedges, I broke down and ordered myself some. Let's be honest, I probably didn't need yet another pair of neutral wedges, but I went for them 🙂 When they arrived I was so excited and after trying them on, I really wasn't sure they looked "like me" but after my husband went on and on about how good they looked on me, I kept them. I wore them on Easter Sunday and then noticed when I got home that the strap was ALREADY separating from the wedge! Sadly, I sent them back and got a refund.
Just thought I would share so you would know you're not alone with the #wedgedrama ! ….Meanwhile, I'll continue to wear the soles out on my Franco Sarto wedges…
Have a great weekend!
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
You look DARLING in that skirted tankini! It's totally chic and not grandma…like I think I need to try one! And thanks so much for the Redbook shoutout!!!! and PS, I totally heart you back. #friendsarefriendsforever 😉 #wp
JennyMae says
My daughter would love that anchor tankini!!! I never win anything but this is an awesome giveaway! Thanks!! By the way, you look awesome in that dress!!!!!
Becky Griffith says
I love all of your loft suggestions! I really wished I lived in Texas so I could come meet you!

Sheaffer says
Hi Rachel! I have a girl that is the sister in law of one of my best friends! She spray tans out of her house! If you are local, e-mail me directly at pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com and I will share her information! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Heather says
You are rocking those live in capris!! Like I am heading to the Nords site right now, fingers crossed they still have my size. And to anon… I hope you have a better Friday. Obviously you need some lovin and maybe you'll stop spewing that nasty attitude around.
Sheaffer says
Thank you Heather! And thank you Megan from earlier (your comment wouldn't publish since you replied to the original "anonymous" comment I deleted). I typically don't publish the not so nice comments because I just want this blog to be a happy place for the readers, but that one slipped by me this morning! Thanks for the kind words though girls! They meant a lot! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Nikki Hanley says
Love the dress, adorable! I love a bright pattern. I know a very special mom who would absolutely love a Nordstrom gift card, Mrs Kristen Harlan. She's the smartest, kindest, funniest, prettiest mom I know (besides my own mom)! xoxo
Michele @ The Joyful Home says
May 28 is the day before school ends and I'm pretty sure that qualifies as the perfect time for a night out for me 🙂 The new store is just down the street from my house, so you can consider this my official RSVP!
Sheaffer says
YAY Michele!!!!! I can't wait to meet you!!!!!!!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Jessica Smith says
Need wardrobe update for my momma and myself. All of these pieces are awesome! My momma is the best! Greetings from Oregon!
