It’s FRIDAY, and you know what that means!
FAVORITE #1: This guy.
This guy is always up for snuggles.
And I NEVER turn down a good cuddle.
We make a good pair. 🙂
FAVORITE #2: These girls.
Our t-ball season is supposed to end on June 2nd.
And yet, we have only played 5 games.
On Wednesday night we still weren’t allowed on the fields, but they moved some games to the outfield. It was an absolute mess.
But the kids had fun getting dirty, the kids are actually starting to “get” baseball (which makes the games more fun to watch of course!), and I always love time with my girls.
It was raining when we took this picture.
I’m not sure why I look terrified on the right, but just go with it.
I’m wearing my favorite pullover (in a small)! I wear it constantly.
FAVORITES #3 and #4: My new Zella Pants and Fit Bit!
My new Zella pants might be my favorite pair of ALL of my Zella Live In leggings.
And that’s saying something.
They are bright and fun, and I absolutely love the back of them!

I mean, LOOK AT THE BACK! I bet you didn’t know that pants could be fun!
And yes, that’s a Fit Bit I’m wearing.

After the hubby got one several weeks ago, I finally broke down and got one for myself.
He likes to say “I’m getting fit with fitbit” approximately 32,000 x per day. Seriously.
He thinks he’s hysterical. 🙂

I’m going to do a full review of it another day, but it’s AMAZING how it motivates you to get moving! There are certain days I’ve looked down, I see how sedentary I’ve been, and I will just get up and start walking around the house or up and down the stairs to get in some extra steps!
(There will be a full review of our Fitbits coming up in the following weeks.)

FAVORITE. PANTS. EVER.
The design makes them so flattering!
Tell me my hiney doesn’t look at least one size smaller than it actually is.
That’s right, you can’t.

FAVORITE #5: My Uniform.
So this has been my uniform lately.
I’ve worn this EXACT outfit 3 times in 2 weeks.
And I’m just now washing the items.
Oh, I’m just kidding. I totally washed them in between each wearing. Wink,Wink. 🙂
Facebook followers saw the outfit already, but it hasn’t been on the blog yet.
And since it’s my uniform and all, it totally had to make an appearance on Friday Favorites.
If you want to feel like you are wearing pajamas, but still look cute and put together, well then this outfit is for you.
shirt HERE / linen drawstring shorts HERE
(Many sizes of the shirt already sold out in “regular”, but more sizes available in “petite” and “tall”). / arrow necklace HERE / tassel necklace c/o AC HERE /
earrings HERE / similar sandals HERE / leather tote c/o Barrington HERE
Size References: I’m wearing an x-small in the shirt and the shorts in “regular”
Here’s how to get the look for yourself:
And GREAT news!
The code DADSDAY will get you 10% OFF your entire order at Barrington right now. Buy something for your dad, hubby, or yourself with this code!
Here are a couple of great options for dad.
I have NO idea why the same items are appearing twice, and I also have NO idea how to fix it!
Sorry!
Click HERE for all small leather goods for Dad.
FAVORITE #6: These earrings.
I ordered these on a whim (you can see them above too), and they are so much fun!
Click HERE for the earrings!
They are yet another pair of earrings that I’ve snagged from the juniors department at Nordstrom, and they are great! And get this….$10!
Helpful Hint:
You will want to make sure that you keep the little clear rubber backs, because they need those to stay securely in place.
FAVORITE #7: This embroidered tank.
I love embroidery.
Ever since I rocked a Mexican dress with jellies for a couple of years in a row in the 80s, I’ve been smitten. If you were a child in the 80s, don’t even act like you didn’t do the same.
I’ve been looking for a little embroidered shift dress for the summer, but I haven’t
found any that I love.
I’m still on the hunt, so if you know of a good one, please tell me!
However, when searching for a dress, I found THIS shirt.
And it’s awesome.

click HERE for a good option from Ugg that is in stock and ON SALE!

If you like the look of embroidery, but are looking for a little more coverage than a tank offers…click HERE for this embroidered split neck top.
Here’s a close up.
FAVORITE # 8 :
THE NORDSTROM HALF YEARLY SALE
I’ve been talking about this sale for a bit, but it ends this weekend, so make sure you get your shopping in!
THIS DRESS IS ON SALE FOR ONLY $52.80!
I ordered just because, and I’m so glad I did!
It’s so easy to throw on, and it looks like I’m trying to be cute (even though I’m not). Score.
It looks great on it’s own or paired with a denim jacket.
For size reference, I’m wearing a 4 petite.
I ended up wearing it last night (at the last minute – you know how those last minute changes go) 🙂 to the Accessory Concierge party! I had AN ABSOLUTE BLAST meeting everybody last night, and I will dedicate Monday’s post to the party! Thank all of you so much for coming out!!!!

And because the cut of the back (so cute!), I’m wearing my favorite strapless bra found HERE.
I meant to take a picture of the back of the dress, but I dropped the ball.
#bloggerfail
They run true to size.
The majority of the reviews are amazing (59 5 Star Reviews).
I think they are incredibly comfortable, and I’m able to walk in them very easily (and I don’t often say that about a wedge). I really like how they have the “wood” layer to add the brown to them.
If you want to get the entire look for yourself, just click on the pic you are interested in.
I’m not sure why the jacket says $0, because sadly, it is not free.
#dangit
And now for a wrap up of the sale!
THESE wedges are my favorite purchase from the sale.
I would suggest sizing 1/2 a size down.
Click HERE for these OH SO SASSY,
but also incredibly comfy, wedges!
And I wanted to share this e-mail I received about the above picture:
Hi!
In one of your more recent posts you have a picture where you are trying a wedge on one foot and you are wearing a nude flat on the other foot.
What flat are you wearing? It looks so cute!
Thanks!
Christina
Hi Christina!
So sorry I didn’t link them in the original post. Those are probably the most worn shoes on the blog, so I just assume that everybody already knows what they are! I sometimes forget that there are always new readers who might not know!
So yes….they are my nude patent flats that I absolutely adore.
I wear them pretty much all year long and don’t have one bad thing to say about them!
Click HERE for the nude flats.
Back to wedges.
Here are the same wedges as the leopard wedges, but in cognac!
Love the color. Love the rope detailing.
Click HERE.
Again, they run large, so order a 1/2 size down.
If you aren’t brave enough to go for the leather, shame on you! IT’S A NEUTRAL! 😉
But if you just can’t, these cognac beauties are a good option!
Another one of my favorite items from the sale is this swing tank!
Click HERE! It’s ONLY $15.90!
For size reference, I’m wearing a medium in the tank.

I also ended up ordering THIS one shoulder number.
And I love it.
The color is gorgeous, and the one shoulder feature is so pretty.
I’m wearing a 4 in the picture, but I ended up ordering a 2 to see how it fits (but it’s not supposed to arrive for several days).
Click HERE for the dress
I also ended up ordering THESE nude heels (only $59.95 with awesome reviews)!
Check out these spike beaded stretch bracelets HERE that are now only $13.98!
I was so excited when I saw them because they are very similar to my Stella and Dot renegade bracelet, but layered and with pops of color! Perfect for spring and summer!
Similar watch HERE.
You might also want to check out THIS MK watch that is 40% OFF with some pretty light blue detail on the band.

This was a 6P.
I didn’t end up keeping it because it was for an outdoor event and the skirt seemed a little too flouncy, but I loved it!
Okay girls! The sale wraps up Sunday!

Last thing before you go….I have a question for you!
Is it helpful to you to have the little thumbnails under an outfit with the prices listed?
Do you like the text links or the image links better? Which do you think are more user friendly?
I’m trying to streamline my blogging, and leaving one way out could knock some serious time off how long it takes me to create a post.
So…which do y’all prefer?
TEXT links or IMAGE links?
Please sound off in the comments!
Have a wonderful weekend everybody!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

I have a sponsored jewelry post with Nordstrom coming up in the next month, but while working on that post, I found this bracelet. I wanted to go ahead and post it today because I feel like it’s perfect for teacher and graduation gifts!

Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my goodness! Sheaffer! First of all, love the pic of you and C :). You guys are so cute together! And then listen, girl, you look FABULOUS in every single thing but that one shoulder dress, I'm dying over it! Love, love, love, love! And as for jellys…I loved wearing mine back in the 80s! I had a turquoise pair that were to die for :). Happy Friday friend!

I like the pictures links the best. They are so easy to see what I want to click on, and I like that I can see the price without having to click over. I think they are very helpful. Thanks!

That embroidered top is so cute, but I think it need one of everything!! Love!!!

You had me at leopard. :). And those Zella capris are so cute!
Nicola says
I LOVE your workout clothes! And the Fitbit – don't know how I existed before mine! Everyone should get one 😉
Cait Bahena says
I've been dreaming of the perfect embroidered dress too!
Kathryn says
Totally just ordered the dress you wore last night to your AC party! I didn't even finish the post before attempting to order 2 sizes (and one went out of stock before I even clicked purchase)! You are DARLING on the internet and even more precious in person! And seriously, that picture of Captain Cozy cuddling with his mama…too cute!!
jthmas says
I like the picture links best. But I am a visual person. The text one's I have to read to closely:-) Love the Zella capris!
Cara@HomespunKitchen says
Love the outfits! I am totally fine with text links, typically you are wearing the outfit you're linking to.
Mattie @ Northwest Native says
I NEED those Zella capris, dang it! I love my Fitbit. It's a Flex, but I want a fancier one, like the Charge or Charge HR! I looove that black and white tank dress and the dress you bought and returned. And I'm obsessed with those black wedges you're wearing with the black and white dress…also obsessed with them in cognac!
Lauren Baxt says
Love the image links! Thanks for all of your hard work!
Kjlb37 says
I don't have a preference on the links, I'm good with whatever. I totally appreciate the time it must take you to put a blog post together. But I have to tell you, that I have ordered (and loved) many of your suggestions. Nordstroms and I are now BFFs!:)
emdutto says
Text links – the images always mess up in my e-mail
Lisa Burris says
So the Claddagh on that bracelet I guess CAN loosely mean friendship, but its more often associated with love, just fyi…: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claddagh_ring
KB says
I prefer the text links – I like that it feels like they give more info than the picture links. Thanks so much for all the work you put into this.
Melanie Smith says
That little black and white watercolor looking dress is phenomenal. If I were you, I'd wear it every single day.
And I may or may not just hang stuff back in the closet after wearing it. I mean, I have a desk job; that shizz aint dirty.
Jenna Sorensen says
I like the text links because my pop up blocker sometimes blocks the images anyways! and, like a previous comment said – you are usually wearing the items in a picture so we see it there! I like clicking the text links!

Sheaffer- I also want to say "thank you" for all of the time you put into your posts! I ordered the MK tri-tone Lexington watch thanks to your sale post and am SO excited to get it in (Monday)! Also, welcome to the fitbit club! Please show us how to "style" the flex. I have been wearing my watch/bracelet stack on my left wrist and my flex solo on my right– is there a better way??
gail wilson says
Text links, text links, text links, text links. I'll shut up now.

I like both but if I had to pick I prefer the text links.
Keisha Dawson says
I have to agree with you on the Fitbit. My hubby got me a Charge for my birthday a few weeks ago. It's incredible how motivating it is. There have been several days where I have gone for an extra walk or ridden another mile on my bike just to reach my goals for the day. I'm already down 4 lbs, and I'm loving it!
The Schnabel Family says
I prefer text links….I can't even see the image links. Weird. I'm new to your blog and I LUUUUV it!
Kelsey says
Love when you list the price! 🙂
Gail Wilson says

Sheaffer, I adore your blog and never miss a post! I just bought the cutest embroidered shift from Nordstrom…it is Lucky Brand and the details are so pretty–also noticed it just got marked down 🙂

I had to "view original post" to see what you were talking about with the picture links, as they don't show up (on my phone, anyway) when I read your posts through Bloglovin'. Either way you list them is fine with me–I'm just happy that you list them at all:-)
Chelsea says
Love all this cuteness!! Great picks ;')
Happy Friday

Kay Wallingford says
Love your thumbprints the most….and the image links…but I will read your blog and love it no matter what! My 2 daughters (and I!) talk about Sheaffer all the time and glad my hubby is catching on, too, ha! I also just bought a FitBit and can't wait to see how you are going to wear it…right arm, left arm, with your accessories, watch? Thanks for your dedication.

I have this embroidered dress and love it (so much that I have a similar one in coral).

The site only has a large listed, but I've seen the same dress at the Blue Door Boutique for a little more. It is darling and so comfortable.
Kim S. says
Looks like I might be in the minority here but I like the image links because the price is right underneath the item I'm interested in. I usually read your posts on my laptop where the images display without a problem. That's just my $0.02.
Kelly says
I like the thumbnails with the prices. It's nice not having to open a store page to see the price. Thanks for giving me direction in my shopping!

YES for designers paying attention to strategically design bum areas, no!? it makes all the difference- I totally want those leggings!!
I love seeing the prices of items right there on your post, but I say do whatever is EASY for you! Thank you for all your hard work you put into these clothes posts- i sure dont mind whatever you decide 🙂
