so it’s almost September.
HOW IN THE WORLD is it almost SEPTEMBER?
Somebody should really tell the weather,because it is a BALMY 104 degrees where I live.
Still, it’s time for us to “GET PIN-SPIRED” this month!
So on Monday I highlighted GAP’s new pair of camo pants (click HERE for the GAP pants).
From the comments that rolled in, you either loved these pants, or you hated these pants.
And not just kinda hated, like really hated! You girls have some strong opinions!
That’s okay! Sometimes fashion is polarizing.
On Monday I showed the GAP pants with my 2 MUST HAVE shirts
THIS shirt and camel suede wedges
If this can pass as your team’s color, this would be a perfect GAME DAY shirt!

Black MUST HAVE shirt HERE with Stella and Dot tassel necklace HERE
and peep-toe black patent pumps HERE.
(Great price with awesome reviews for these heels! Everybody needs a great go-to black pair of
heels to dress up or down!)
I liked both of the above looks, but they were both dressier for me than normal.
So, for PINSPIRED today, I wanted to show some more casual ways to wear camo.
As I often do, I looked to Pinterest for styling inspiration of course!
I found these outfits, and I decided that pairing the pants with my denim jacket was a totally obvious styling choice (that for some reason I had never thought of).
Right off the top of my head, I came up with these 3 looks.
And I liked ALL 3 looks!
The possibilities within my closet were seriously endless!
exact denim jacket in all 3 looks HERE
exact long necklace in all 3 looks HERE
exact short necklace in all 3 looks HERE
This little fashion experiment proved to me that these camo pants are way more versatile than I first gave them credit for.
CAMO IS COOL.
That is my stance.
It is also of course also again proved the undeniable fact that this denim jacket is a MUST HAVE.
And just in case you are starting to come around to the camo trend,
here are some other camo pant options:
Click HERE for a Guess pair from Macy’s
Click HERE for a cute pair from JC Penneys that is SUPER affordable!
These would be a great option if you aren’t sure about camo pants and want to “give them a try” for not a lot of money.
Another affordable option from Macy’s HERE (with a cute brass stud detail on the pockets.)
And listen, if you don’t currently own a denim jacket that you are wearing at least twice a week, well then I’m sorry….but we can’t be friends anymore.
No more excuses! BUY A JACKET!
Look! There are 4 choices right here:
stonwashed HERE (33% off), blue HERE, dark denim HERE, grey HERE (50% off)
Okay….lots of other things before I let you ladies go today.
I promised you on Wednesday that I was going to talk about leopard flats today.
Well, I lied.
Sorry bout that.
It will happen on Wednesday, so get ready. 🙂
FIRST UP.
3 colors of the MUST HAVE shirt (including this port color) went 40% off yesterday.
If history repeats itself, this shirt will sell out super fast….so if you’ve been wanting this shirt, now’s your chance! Don’t miss the boat again!
Click HERE!
AND REMEMBER TO ORDER 1 SIZE DOWN! The shirt runs big!
Next, a sweet reader (thank you Karen!) e-mailed me on Wednesday to let me know that my new favorite bracelet is on sale! If you haven’t jumped at this bracelet, it’s time to jump ladies.I wear it every other day (at least), and I absolutely love it!
Click HERE for the bracelet that is now under $20!
Also on sale, THIS cross stretch bracelet (now only $12) that I think would look great paired with the crystal bracelet or with any of your Sequin bracelets if you have any of those!!
And Nordstrom has some other LOVELY things on sale in the shoe, MK watch, and bag departments.
WooHoo!
When I saw this red graphic pop up on my screen yesterday, I think I had a small heart attack.
I was hoping that the putty wedges were going to be on sale and that all of you that hadn’t bought them yet would finally do so. (Is it weird that I want to live in a world where every woman and girl owns at least 1 pair of these wedges?) But alas, they weren’t on sale. Dang you Nordstrom!
LOTS of other great shoes and boots are though!
Click HERE for the entire sale, or see below for my pics.
Enzo Saylem riding boots HERE
flat from Sam Edelman HERE
nude patent flat from Cole Haan HERE
Michael Kors Carla sandal HERE
(My sister has these, and they are fierce.)
Watches that were normally $195-$450 are now $96-$224! That’s some major savings!
Darci crystal gold bracelet watch HERE with near perfect reviews.
You need to make sure you check out the reviews on all of these watches! They are ALL glowing!
(Check out how fancy I’m getting with the collages! Ha!)
And you know I love my white ceramic MK watch, and THIS one is gorgeous!
Lots and lots of bags are on sale HERE.
Rebecca Minkoff large studded hobo found HERE (port, black, and turquoise) and GORGEOUS.
The Liebeskind bag in Scotch HERE (remember when I highlighted it back during the Ann. Sale?)
And remember when I highlighted THIS MK crossbody bag?
It’s now 40% off , or you can get the larger version HERE.
And finally, LOFT is having a Labor Day Sale also,
so click HERE to shop!
Happy loooooonnnnnnnnngggggggg weekend everybody!

I got the camo pants yesterday and am in love! 30% off in store too. Hoping to add a few must have shirts to my wardrobe this fall too.
Rachel says
I really never thought I'd like anything camo, but you make those pants look so good!! Happy Labor Day weekend, Sheaffer! 🙂

I love you in the camo pants with the black must have shirt!
Katie Paladino says
Loving the camo look! You nailed it!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
As soon as the kids get out the door for school, I'm off to shop. Thanks for the inspiration! I don't care what my daughters say, I'm getting me some camo pants. 😉
Michelle Bacot says
Another great post… Love the featured shoes and watches. I just ordered my second "must have" shirt, since the red cordovan went on sale. I've been wearing my black shirt with neon yellow jean shorts. I might be getting the green Old Navy military jacket that Shay loves too; it's on sale this weekend. Maybe I copy Shay too much… or maybe I need lavender Hunter boots… Have a great weekend!

I have that Michael Kors crossbody bag, and is is fantastic. It's a perfect size, I love that it's a crossbody, and I get oodles of compliments on it each time I wear it. And dang you Sheaffer, now I'm off to get the tortoise shell Michael Kors watch. It's under $100?!? I'd be crazy not to get it.
Nicki says
That's it – I don't have a Nordstrom in my mall (tragic, I know) but I'm going today and won't leave until I get my hands on a stonewashed denim jacket and camo skinny pants. Thanks for highlightings some Macy's options – I'll be on the hunt today. My husband thanks you :).
aprilparrish says
I am on the hunt for some cool camo!!! Loved all your creations paired with the camo! 😉
Jen Pogue says
I personally think the camo pants are so cute! Thanks for more ideas on how to style them!

I have the Michael Kors bag and love it. I would have loved it more now since it went on sale. It is very versatile and I love the crossbody option. I am not sure about camo just yet but you make it look good. Do you think army green pants would still work as a neutral like camo? I just bought a pair that were skinny and hope I can pair them with shirts I already have.

Girl…you look smokin' in those camo pants! You should wear them every day. Seriously.
Emily says
I'll tell ya how great the MUST HAVE shirt is…I just ordered it in the crimson color and I'm a die hard Auburn fan! I don't wear crimson…can't have people mistaking me for a Bama fan…haha. Got the MUST HAVE shirt in black and love, love, love it! I'm no size 2…or 4…or 6 (you get the point) but this shirt is very flattering! It's amazing!
P.S. I ordered THE wedges (in black) and they will be delivered today. Eeeekkk! I'm so excited to see what all the rage is about! Can't wait!
Thanks, Sheaffer! Love your blog!
Shawnee says
I have 6 things in my cart on Nordstrom's website….hubby is going to kill me!! 😉
Sabrina says
I still love how you styled the camo pants with the must have shirt….and they are sold out in my size 🙁 When stuff goes on sale..it does not last-that's for sure!! And what on EARTH is the deal with $250 MK watches being on sale for $124??? Holy mackerels! 🙂
Happy Day to You Sheaffer! 🙂
Marie says
Just this morning I got an email that my MUST HAVE shirt (I got it in green) and MUST HAVE jeans (I got the distressed cuffed pair) are on their way to my house! I'm thrilled!!!
Your mention of wearing the red must have shirt as a game day option got me thinking that I would love to see a post about CUTE game day wear! I'm *meh* about football, but I married a crazy Aggie so I am forever tied to college football. I'm always looking for ways to be cute but still comfortable on game days!
Back to your MUST HAVE items, though, I have to say that I absolutely love everything you choose, especially the wedges! I'm a 5th grade teacher and on my feet ALL DAY LONG, and I have to say that these are absolutely the most comfortable shoes I've found for teaching that still look CUTE and not school marm-y. Nobody wants that.
Liz/happymommy says
LOVE those camo pants on you, not sure if I am there yet but I may have to check some out…..I think I may be more of the camo jacket or shoes type! I did get a pair of camo pants for my 3 year old daughter for Fall and they are the cutest ever!! Happy looooooooooong weekend to you as well!!!
Sarah E @ theteacherswife.com says
Love the camo pants on you! Just not sure how they'd look on me and my bottom heavy body 🙂 I need to head to a store before I even think about ordering!
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
I love the camo pants on you! Not sure how they would look on me (holy cow just realized the girl above me said the same thing, ha!).
I have the Enzo boots in 2 colors and absolutely adore them! They are fabulous and super comfy! I rocked them last Fall and Winter and will again this year! And I may have to go look at the Cole Haan's. I'm still in search for a pair of nude flats (and leopard ones too!)
Deanna says
I've never been a huge camo pants fan, but I love how you styled them in this post! Also, I was anti denim jacket for a long time until you started posting about the must have jacket. I finally caved last week and ordered it (it was 33% off, I couldn't resist!) and it came in yesterday. I'm OBSESSED with it already. Can't wait until I have some time this weekend to go through my closet and style it 🙂
Laura says
Just bought the MUST HAVE SHIRT!! In the red. Or maroon. Or oxblood? Whatevah! I bought it, ok?
Kris says
Even though I have last year's Gap camos, I ordered a pair this year….you know, just in case. 🙂 I ordered the size I currently have AND one size up, and darn it, neither of them fit right. Gap sizing kills me! Needless to say, I will have to get by with one pair of camos, which is one pair more than my husband would prefer I have. Love these styling tips. Thanks so much.
smk053078 says
I think it's time I get a MK watch!!! They last one you posted awhile back sold out online…I just might do it this weekend! 🙂
Leigh says
I missed that shirt in the color I wanted:( I need it in red for Roll Tide! And how in the world are you wearing a jacket??? Where I live, it's been 95 and HUMID. I can't walk outside without feeling like I need a shower because it's so sticky. You are better than if you can wear a jacket in the summer heat!
I still can't bring myself to wear camp but you and Shay look adorable in it. I am such a city girl, but I grew up in the country and camo makes me think of hunting and fishing. Yuck!
Val @ Chicken Scratch. says
Seriously..thanks for being awesome 🙂 I've been following you for many months now and your blog is one of my favorites!
I loved participating in todays Get Pin-Spired challenge. LOVE LOVE LOVE. So much fun!
I'm hoping to get the must have shirt ordered tonight yet!! Thanks again for doing all the shopping/research for the rest of us!

Okay, between you & Shay….I might have to pull the trigger on some camo pants. So cute. Love how you styled them!!
