A little of this, a little of that, but a lot of things I’m loving!
We might as well just start off with this: the snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich from Skinny Cow.
Cinnamon ice cream in between soft oatmeal cookies.
I DIE.
I’ve got good news and bad news:
Good News: Look at the fat and calories! Not bad at all!
Heres the bad news:
You’re going to have to invest in a deep freeze because they are seasonal, and I believe they go away again in either December or January.
#stockupladies
********************************************************************
And now for some fun earrings that aren’t much more expensive than the ice cream sandwiches!
All of these studs I’m showing today are neutral, sparkly, and super versatile (great with tees or little black dresses). I have them going from biggest to smallest (left to right), and the two in the middle are the same size. Notice that the hematite has dark metal (and not gold) for those
of you that don’t wear gold.
The picture above does not do their sparkliness justice at all. I promise, they are
all SUPER sparkly!!!!
And I’m thinking I’m going to have to have my friend Andrea make a little graphic for some Thanksgiving treats for teachers (like the beginning of school earring cards).
Andrea…
What about this….
“So THANKFUL you add a little sparkle to my life.”
OR
“So THANKFUL you help me shine!”
What do you think?!?

THIS TUNIC
is definitely going to be a favorite all fall long!
The tunic (it’s ONLY $38!) came home with me last week because I saw it in my head with grey leggings and tall boots. And then I came home and tried it on with grey leggings and tall boots (even though it was 94 outside)! 🙂 For size reference, I got a medium because I wanted it to be long enough for leggings. It is thin, so know that you will have to wear a long cami with it for sure. It also goes up on the sides a little, which is another reason I will be wearing a long cami or tank with it (I’ve linked a great one that’s long).
I really loved this look. Easy. Casual. and COMFY AS ALL GET OUT.

tunic / LONG cami / leggings / similar boots with FANTASTIC REVIEWS
earrings/ dainty arrow necklace / chevron pendant necklace
If you are new to the blog, go ahead and buy THESE leggings…you’ll be seeing a
lot of them this fall.
They are a MUST HAVE. I promise.
Go ahead and take a minute to read just a handful of the 1,000 or so 5 Star Reviews.
Seriously.
**************************************************************
My new Barrington Bag is definitely a favorite.
It was kind of cooler one morning earlier this week, and I had to run around a bit doing some errands.
And I have to say, it even made my no make-up and hat wearing self look cuter!
This bag is the Savannah (it’s a bit smaller than the St. Anne that I normally carry), it has a zipper up top, still has plenty of pockets and room inside, and its a bit more structure.
You know I love my Florentine Leather St. Anne, but this is a super fun change!
They are still having trouble with their links, so follow these directions to find the bag:
Click HERE….Go to New Arrivals….click on Create Your Own Fall Fashion…choose the Savannah zippered tote….for color choose the blue…..and for the pattern choose the fourth pattern from the left.
OR, you can also spend a sweet forever playing around with other color and pattern options.
Not that I would know anything about that. 😉
And remember, use the code PTMTSAVE10 for 10% OFF!
jeans* / converse (adore!)/ arrow necklace / stud earrings (light pink)
*These are the jeans I call my pajama jeans. SOOO soft and comfy, and several sizes have been restocked! Remember to order 1 size down (I’m wearing a 26).
(Tee and cardigan are several years old.)
*****************************************************************
Click HERE for this Old Navy scarf I just got that I know will be a favorite this fall!
It’s pink, grey, cream, and mustard! I love it!
(I’m not planning on wearing it with this outfit, I just threw it on so you could get an idea for the size and weight of it! It’s very soft and light (not bulky at all)!
*********************************************************************
Did you know that Old Navy has an awesome selection of team shirts for men, women, and kids?!?
Carter is on the Braves this year, so I got a team shirt!
Click HERE for all of their team shirts.
SUPER cute shirts for both pro and college teams!
***********************************************************************
So when I started talking about flare jeans a couple of weeks ago, I talked about a pair from STS Blue at Nordstrom that are now sold out (but you can find a new dark wash pair by the same maker HERE), and then I talked about THESE from LOFT. (Heads up on the LOFT flares…FLASH SALE at LOFT that lasts until 9:00 a.m. CST Friday morning for $50 off every $100 you spend!)
So even though I’ve given a couple of great option,
I’ve had lots of people leave blog comments and facebook messages asking when the heck Vigoss was going to get a pair of flares!
Because y’all are my people.
Well.
They have 2 pair to choose from HERE.
I think THIS PAIR looks SOOOOOO cute. I like the color, the distressing, and the SUBTLE flare.
I mean. These babies are cute too!
The above flares just hit the site a couple of days ago, but last week I ordered the Vigoss Chelsea bootcut jeans to show you. My plan was to get them, photograph them for you, and then take them back. But I love them so much. I’ll let you know how Plan A goes.
(Just fyi: Plan B is to keep them.) 😉
And if you’ve been looking for a chambray top, here’s one for you!
I love that it’s a popover and doesn’t button all the way down!
And because I’m thorough, you even get a hiney shot in this next collage.
I felt like they made my hiney look as good as it’s ever going to look.
I had on tall wedges (I think they are 3 1’2 inches), and these were still a bit too long on me…which is good news for you taller girls (I’m just a hair shy of 5’4″).
Click HERE for the jeans.
I’m wearing a 27, so I think they are true to size!
***********************************************************************
I felt like I needed to notify everybody that held off on buying the flight dress from Monday, it’s now on sale even more. Now, it’s FINAL SALE (meaning no returns), but it’s only $38.92 so you might think it’s worth the risk. (And just fyi, I don’t think LOFT will do
a price adjustment on a final sale item.)
I’m wearing a petite small, and all of the reviewers seemed to think it ran large.
The reviews aren’t great, but I love everything about this dress.
dress / bag (use the code PTMTSAVE10 for 10% OFF)/ agate necklace / arrow necklace / earrings / similar cognac boots / lipstick (fashion icon) / lip gloss (sweet dreams)
*****************************************************************
And on Wednesday’s post, I told you how I had been searching high and low for new camo pants for you girls, and I finally found them.
And although people tend to love or hate camo…those that do love them are so happy to have them in their closets. And after reading the comments on the post, although there are definitely some of you that are a CAMO NO, those of you that are a CAMO YES totally agree that it makes you feel cool! 🙂
I felt I needed to do a camo shout out on my FAVORITES post today!
camo skinny jeans / LOFT swing tee / earrings / necklace / pointy toe flats
For size reference, I’m wearing a 7 in the pants.
They didn’t have a 5 for me to try on, so I can’t comment on the difference in the sizes.
When dealing with junior’s sizing….sometimes I’m a 5, and sometimes I’m a 7.
***********************************************************************
I received an e-mail from a reader this week that I wanted to share! It was definitely a favorite!
Both mine and T’s are in antique gold (the necklaces are resin).
And thank you so much for the kind words about the blog! They meant a lot!!!!!!!!
******************************************************************
And the last thing for today!
A GIVEAWAY!!!!!
And if you follow me on ig, then you saw me highlight her ig last week.
Tracy is sweet as she can be and as funny as you can get. 🙂
She’s also a wife, a mother, and a 3x cancer survivor (and she’s younger than I am). She a freaking warrior, and she started a jewelry business where she makes jewelry that encourages others that are going through cancer. Actually, the jewelry can encourage anybody going through a tough time. You can see some of my favorite pieces she’s made here, and you can click HERE for her Etsy store.
If you are going through cancer yourself, or if you know somebody that is, I thought you might want to know about this jewelry! It could be such an encouragement to somebody who needs some!
And great news! Tracy is hosting a contest today on her instagram!
Go HERE, follow her, and tag a friend who you think could use some encouragement right now.
Next week a winner and a friend (who is tagged) will be selected and they will get to choose any piece from Tracy’s large selection of her own creations.
Most of her items can have a specific color ribbon added to represent specific causes.
Good luck!!!!

The Rohman Family says
My Sam Edelman Penny boot are arriving today! I'm SO hopeful they will be as great as you've suggested b/c I've sent back some Frye Melissas AND some Frye Paiges already. Trying to find some tall boots has been a struggle this year!!
Erika Slaughter says
Those flare jeans are hot, Mama!!! My vote is the Plan B!
Narci says
That tunic is adorable!! And, I'm off to get those ice cream sandwiches later today!! Yum!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I totally just bought that scarf! Love, love, love it!
Jessica Barshinger says
Great post today!!! Soooo many good things! I bought the Chelsea Vigoss this summer- you will definitely want to hold onto those babies! I just ordered the distressed flares 2 days ago & cannot wait to get them they are darling!!!! Xo
dresselfamily.blogspot.com says
keep the jeans!!!!…it's fall you need them!!!!
Anonymous says
I love my Vigoss bootcut jeans!!!! I ordered the Chelsea but Nordstrom sent me the New York by mistake. They are awesome!!!! They have flap pockets whereas the Chelsea do not. I could use a little booty boost and really love the flap pockets. And probably my favorite part, the length is perfect! I'm 5'8" with long legs and normally need a tall to get the length right. I've worn them so much and I've only had them 3 weeks.
Evan says
Hi! Does the olive tunic have black stripes or navy? Thanks!! Love it 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi Evan! They are black! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Anonymous says
Did you know that is an Atlanta Braves shirt and not a Houston Astros shirt? Just wondering. 🙂
Sheaffer says
Ha! He was on the Astros last year! I just said the wrong team name. Yes, I know it's a Braves shirt! 🙂 #oops 🙂
Hannah Hardy says
SO. MUCH. TO. LOVE. in this post!!! Love love the tunic paired with the plaid scarf!! And just YES to wide waistband leggings.
Jenny says
Thanks for all the inspiring ideas!! I just purchased the ON scarf for $8.40 on line! It is on sale plus 30% off today with code OURSTYLE plus free shipping on orders of just $25! Excited to wear it this fall!!
Annalyn says
I just received that scarf this week!! So excited to see how you style it too!
V @ X-tremely V says
Boy do I wish the those hermanite earrings came in the same size at the crown ones! Do you know of any similar styles in that size?
Kim Oliver says
Alright Sheaffer, I need some input. I've begun to buy more and more from Nordstroms so I filled out their "True to Fit" profile. Have you found that to be accurate? I am small but have "sturdy" thights and I'm thinking my thighs ain't fitting into a size 1 like it said. Do you use "true to fit" profile and is it accurate? The closest Nordstroms is 2 hours away so trying is not always an option. Just in case Nordstrom people are listening…Come to Northwest Arkansas!
Thanks, Sheaffer!
Kim Oliver
Sheaffer says
Hi Kim! I don't really use it. I know how most of the brands fit me, and I just go with that! Sorry I'm not more help with this. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
coco says
Since Nordstrom offers free shipping and free returns, if I'm not sure about a size I'll usually order the bigger and the smaller and then just return whichever one doesn't work!
Kim Oliver says
That's what I ended up doing, Coco! Can't beat free shipping/returns! Thanks ladies!
Megan says
I love your outfit posts but speaking of clothes for tall girls… You wouldn't happen to have any tall friends that you could do a post showing how some of your 'Must Haves' fit them? 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi Megan! I welcome pics from tall girls to be sent in! Maybe I need to do a post for that!
Megan says
That would be so great!
Kristen MacNaughton says
I decided I need a floral baseball tee after seeing it on some random website that didn't have it in stock any longer. Has anyone seen a floral baseball tee anywhere??
Nicki says
Pinkish Trends (follow them on Instagram!) has them a lot!
Kristen MacNaughton says
Thanks Nicki, I got one! ?
Nicki says
Do you always size down in Vigoss?? I think I need to order those destroyed jeans!
Sheaffer says
Hi Nikki! It depends. Sometimes I'm a 27 (true to size)…and sometimes I order 1 size down. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
I don't have much time…I'm racing to the grocery to stock up on those ice cream sandwiches!! #enabler!
The Wimmers says
What size are you wearing in the chambray popover?
Sheaffer says
I'm wearing a small! Xoxo, Sheaffer ?
coco says
I bought the Chelsea bootcuts back in the spring and #ohemgee. They are totally awesome. I'm a tall girl (5'10") and wear a 30 in Vigoss (true to size for me) and I do need to wear a small wedge (at least 2") to keep the backs of these babies off the ground. Which is perfect if you ask me. They fit my booty spectacularly and make my legs look suuuuuper long. Love love love.
Bridget says
What color cami did you go with with the tunic?
Sheaffer says
Hi Bridget! Black! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Jordyn Upchurch says
That chambray popover is SO cute, also-thanks for telling me about those ice cream sandwiches…now I'm going to have to go to the gym twice as much!
xoxo, SS

Betsy Tryhus says
Hi Sheaffer! I was just getting ready to order the accessory concierge scarf you posted about recently, and then I saw this cute one from Old Navy you posted today. Do you have a favorite between the two?
Sheaffer says
Hi Betsy! I love both of them, but they are very different. The A.C. scarf is thick, heavy, and very warm….the Old Navy one is light and airy! It just depends on what you are going for! If you are a scarf newbie, you might want to go with the Old Navy one. It's less overwhelming on your neck! Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Dianna says
Plan B! I need to order those Vigoss jeans ASAP
Dianna says
I finally went and ordered the Vigoss jeans this morning. I had been meaning to all week but wasn't sure what size and panicked. I finally did it this morning only to get the dreaded email that my order was cancelled because the item was out of stock. I am very disappointed that Nordstrom's site wasn't more up to date and tricked me into thinking these beloved jeans would be heading my way next week. Ruined my Friday! And I can't get on the waitlist for this size because they are still showing available on the website. I waitlisted for another size 🙁
Amy says
Sheaffer – have you worn this Old Navy scarf again in a post? I bought the scarf too – it's now finally time to wear scarves – and I am looking for outfit ideas! Thanks!
