This outfit probably contains at least two pieces you already own:
the new MUST HAVE shirt and the MUST HAVE leggings.
I paired these two items with my new boots from Sole Society (ON SUPER SALE) and a long cardigan that is NOW ON SALE as well! I thought it was a fun look, and for those of you that have the top and the leggings already, just add this cardigan to recreate the outfit!
CARDIGAN
MUST HAVE shirt / MUST HAVE leggings / earrings / arrow necklace / boots
tassel necklace / watch
Size References: I’m wearing a small in the top (I wanted it loose and flowy, so I didn’t size down like was recommended by some), a small in the leggings (true to size), and a small in the cardigan (true to size).

On this week’s episode of Fixer Upper, Joanna was wearing the Sam Edelman Penny boots that I’ve been talking about for like 2 years now.
They come in regular and wide calf.
boots HERE
Her shirt looks colorful in the photo below, but it was just a black and white plaid…..and I loved that she was mixing black and brown! I found a similar top HERE. I tried the small on for myself and it was too small, so I would say size up in this shirt.
Click HERE for all the plaid Thread and Supply shirts.
Also, if you remember back on the Joanna Gaines Told Me To post, I linked to THIS leather jacket.
I felt like it was very her, and I also felt like it was a classic piece that somebody could have in their closet for years and years and years.
Well, several of you purchased it, and a handful have left ig, facebook, or blog comments professing your love and adoration for it.
One said it was the “nicest piece of clothing she’s ever owned.“
Another said: So, I just got the “Joanna Gaines” leather jacket and it is like buttah. Buttah, I say.
– CoCo
And one said she bought it before seeing it on the blog, and it’s been the most worn item in her closet all season long.
In summary, it rocks.

I put this next outfit on facebook on Wednesday night, and everybody went crazy for it! Apparently, lots of you are jeans and t-shirt kind of girls.
You are my people.
I bought the tee on a whim online, and I’m so glad I did.
The sizing said a small was equivalent to 2-4, so I got a medium because I didn’t want it tight, and the medium was perfect (loose but not too baggy!).
camo tee / wood earrings / similar jeans ON SALE! / slim profile UGG boots / leather watch
I actually wore it with my baby blardigan in the morning that day because it was pretty chilly.
I wanted to share this comment I got on ig about the baby blardigan from becca32935:
“I got one for Christmas! We had to make a new class rule ‘do not touch Mrs. Cullen’s blardigan without permission.’ “
How hysterical is that! Thanks for sharing that Mrs. Cullen! 😉

These next two favorites are super special and make me so proud!
Look at these DARLING cookbooks!!!
Yep, that’s right, Shay has 2 cookbooks out and I seriously couldn’t be more proud of her!
She’s been working on these for quite awhile (she was editing them when were in L.A. for The Men Tell All special this summer) and now they are books.
REAL. LIVE. BOOKS.
And I’m not sure if I already mentioned this, but they are DARLING!
It’s seems like just yesterday that we were at the kiddie pool with our little ones and she told a group of us that she was thinking of starting a blog. AND LOOK AT HER NOW!
SHE’S A COOKBOOK AUTHOR!
They will be available February 1st, but you can pre-order them now! Great for yourself and awesome for gifts!
In fact, they would make perfect End of Year teacher gifts!!!!
Click HERE for cakes and HERE for Meal Planner.
I’ll talk more about them after they are officially available, but I couldn’t help but show them today too! CONGRATULATIONS SHAY!
I LOVED them (still do!), but they sold out soooooo fast last year. Well, they are back in stock! I feel like it’s a little too early to talk about wedges, but I’m afraid they are going to sell out again. So…..if you were dying for them last year, now is the time!
Click HERE for my wedges.
They are very comfy and they go with pretty much everything!
(They also come in a navy stripe and an orange!)
Size Reference: Size up a 1/2 size!
And if you want to see a similar pair, click HERE for a pair from Tory Burch that is $295! And to be honest, I think mine are cuter!
**************************************************
So, I ordered the petite for myself, they arrived yesterday, and they are PERFECT on me! Here they are with tall boots, but I’m also going to be able to wear them with booties and flats!
Size References: I’m wearing a small in the shirt because I wanted it long enough to wear with leggings. If I wasn’t going to wear it with leggings, I would have sized down. I’m wearing a 4P in the cords. Some say to size down, but I did not.
skinny cords ($33.90!) / MUST HAVE shirt ($25.40!)/ Seamless cami /
short bar necklace ($12!)/ long bar pendant ($18!) / abalone earrings / leather wrap watch / similar cognac boots
****************************************************
I hope it was a favorite for y’all!
Y’alls comments CRACKED ME UP.
Some of them totally made me lol, and I wanted to share a couple of them here:
I’m convinced Olivia is the secret love child of Steven Tyler and Cameron Diaz. But to your point, was raised by howler monkeys. – Love On The Lake
And I asked for some ideas for classes that should be taught at Bachelor High:
How about “Nailing the ‘This is Really Hard for Me’ Speech . . . a Tutorial in Perfectly Timed Insecurities.” – Molly K
I definitely think there should have been a jump and straddle 101 class taught by Kaitlyn. The girls need to nail that skill before they start traveling! Ha!
xo, Whitney and Blaire
I mean, PTMT readers are hysterical!
******************************************************************
And don’t forget: Monday is the day to nominate yourself or a friend or family member for the Special Mama Giveaway!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Ahhhhh! Sheaffer! Thank you so much friend! I wasn't expecting that. Love you! You've been a constant cheerleader of mine and I'm so thankful for you. xoxoxoxo
Erika Slaughter says
Oh girl!! Those Bachelor comments were hysterical! I'm already looking forward to your next recap on Wednesday! And after one really good snow day I'll be ready to pull out my wedges. I just need one!
Angela says
I live your skinny cords and want to order a pair. What color are yours? I can't tell if it's khaki or a darker color. Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi Angela! Mine are khaki!!!! Xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Narci says
And, now, I'm thinking about those wedges!! Adorable!!
Michelle says
Thanks again for great enabling…I totally just ordered the skinny cords (in dark grey)! I never shop anymore on my own…I just wait to see what PTMT tells me to buy and you NEVER steer me wrong!!
Margaret Hulgrave says
the camo Alternative tee is on amazon with the matching pants if it sells out at Nordstroms ( also cheaper on amazon!)
Wendy says
Did you end up ordering a size 2P in the skinny cords (a lot of the reviews say the cords stretch out and are bigger than other Kut pants)?
Wendy says
Oops, sorry…never mind. I went back to where you originally talked about the cords a few days ago and saw that you ordered a size 4P.
Cassie {Hi Sugarplum} says
I've never known anyone who looks as cute in a ball cap as you. That's all. #asyouwere
Leigh says
My outfit today is SUPER similar to what you're wearing in that first pic. I have on skinny jeans instead of leggings (since leggings aren't allowed at work), but our outfits are so similar that it's awesome and scary at the same time. Maybe I'm starting think like you. Lol

I have a quick question about the Free People jacket. Does it shrink? If so, a little or a lot? I want to size up for length, but then the jacket seems to big, but I don't want to get the better fit if it's going to shrink. Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! Are you talking about the Free People jacket that was denim and knit? If so, I don't personally own that jacket, so I'm not sure about shrinkage! Sorry I'm not more help! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

Thanks for responding anyway! I love your blog!

I got a leather jacket too! Would love to see you show some different ways to wear it~
Missy says
I need those cords! I am loving my "must have" shirt and now my coworker bought two today after I forwarded your post on it!
Lisa B says
So I bought those cork wedges last summer on your recommendation and they are my absolute FAVORITE shoes. And I usually buy quite expensive shoes. They are cute, great height, comfortable, neutral. Everything a girl could want. Run, don't walk ladies to get those babies this year!!
Sarah Kuykendall says
I just ordered the cords and may need the cardigan too!

So, I ordered the "Joanna jacket" and it arrived yesterday. I'm not too impressed. It is "OK." I think for the sale price it is a perfectly OK, nice jacket. That said, it isn't amazingly soft and/or buttery and not super luxe looking. Guess I was hoping it would look and feel more like a luxe leather jacket than a middle of the road leather jacket. It is going back. I also ordered the cords (one size down, they do run a FULL size large) and I love them – ordering another….
frogirrrl says
Hey cute girl…what color are your sole society boots? I can't tell if they're black or grey…thank you!
Sheaffer says
Mine are grey! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
frogirrrl says
Thank you. I just ordered the entire outfit. Happy Birthday to meeeee!

I ordered 3 colors of the Must Have Shirt as was wondering when you wear it with jeans do you just tuck the front in and let the back hang out? Thanks so much:)
