Yes. Again.
I just can’t get enough of them.
(See the first time I wore my grey jeans with a colorful striped poncho HERE and with a blue plaid shirt HERE.)
I love them.
Sorry I’m not sorry.
Before I got dressed the other day, I knew I was going to wear them…
I just didn’t know HOW I was going to wear them.
So, I do what I do, I searched Pinterest to see if I could get some inspiration. I found several great grey jeans pics (that you’ll see in a minute), but this next picture caught my eye.
It was on a blog where the blog author was considering it as a color scheme for her master bedroom. The NAVY, GREY, and BROWN spoke to me.
And it got me thinking.

Plus, you know I love wearing black brown and grey together, so why not mix it up a bit by substituting the black for navy?
I live on the edge.

It was a simple outfit with all muted colors, but I loved it all together!
And let’s take a close up look at the accessories!
over-the-knee boots c/o HERE / similar MK watch HERE / cushion cut bracelet c/o HERE
I know that their is a $7.95 re-stocking fee for the boots if you return them (no re-stocking fee if you exchange them)…but I’m telling you, I think they are worth the risk!
In fact, just yesterday I received an e-mail from a reader about the boots (her e-mail was so sweet and totally made my day), and I will share just a portion of it with you right now!
I had commented on your instagram regarding the OTK boots from Sole Society! Well…they came in yesterday, and let me just say… It was like Christmas came early! The color is gorgeous, the comfort is on another level. They are definitely a wear all day, chase after two boys type of boot! I am 5’9″ and I worried they would not appear to be OTK on my legs, but I love the length. I was already wearing my Vigoss skinnies, jcrew factory camo vest, and a polka dot sweater from Target last season. I like them with this outfit, but really can’t wait to pair them with black skinnies, denim shirt, and my blanket scarf!
Mallory
If you are making puppy eyes at her polka dot sweater, I found one (it’s cashmere, so brace yourselves because it’s not cheap), that I love HERE.
over-the-knee boots HERE
(For the record, I searched high and low, but I couldn’t find a comparable camo jacket. Sorry!)
I also wanted you and your readers to know about the Lucky Brand Oscarr Boots I also purchased from Sole Society. I’m so sorry my lighting and iPhone pictures are so awful, but these boots are where it’s at. The leather is beautiful, there are zippers on the inside and out, the dark wood contrast against the black leather is gorgeous. I put them on (with my Vigoss skinnies, of course) and immediately felt like a million bucks! I definitely would recommend these boots as a MUST HAVE!
Mallory, I’m so glad you love your over-the-knee boots, and thank you so much for sharing your must have find with us!!!!
Okay…back to my beloved grey jeans……I’m dying to know….
Are you sold on the need for grey jeans yet? I for one cannot believe I didn’t have any last year!
If not, let me see if Pinterest can convince you.
no source for leopard scarf pic / with oxblood leather jacket HERE / no source for black sweater
with grey cardi HERE / one little momma with white and cognac HERE
I LOVE the grey jeans paired with the leopard on the far left. And I think they look so smart dressed up a bit with the black sweater and layered white shirt (in the middle), and I really like how the far right picture shows you that grey jeans aren’t just for fall and winter. They look great paired with the fresh white tee and cognac accessories!
You might as well get yourself a pair of grey jeans now because you are going to be seeing A LOT of them one me this fall and winter! 😉
Remember that THESE are my favorite grey jeans for many reasons. Click HERE to read my review from Monday and to see my sizing suggestions before you buy.

Okay…enough about grey jeans and cords….
A couple of days later I decided to wear my new shirt again…you know, before I actually put it in the laundry hamper.
What?
You don’t do that.
Yeah, neither do I.
I can’t say enough about this shirt. It’s quite a bit shorter in the front than it is in the back, but that’s what makes it interesting! I also love how it goes ahead and pairs the navy and grey together to make mixing the colors a no-brainer for you!
And when I decided to wear this top with my regular jeans, there was NO DOUBT in my mind that the leopard flats were going to be on my feet.

Are you smitten with the top yet?
Click HERE for the top.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the top.
I know it’s expensive, but I love it.
And since I gave you grey jean options..I thought I should give you navy top options too.
Navy Top Options:
a) navy side tie wrap sweater HERE
b) navy windowpane popover HERE
c) navy drape neck sweater HERE
d) navy zip back sweater HERE
Ooh! There’s also the LOFT waterfall cardigan (that I have in grey) in navy HERE.
And does anybody have THE MUST HAVE SHIRT in navy?
I only have this year’s version in black, but I would LOVE the navy if it hides wrinkles like the black does! Somebody please leave a comment saying they have this shirt and love it!
Click HERE.
And since I gave you grey jeans options…and navy top options….I thought I should give you brown boot options too.

Mix and Match Mama says
I love your grey jeans!! You look so stinkin' cute in them every time you wear them!
Michele says
Super cute! I have a pair of gray cords (Gap) from last year, but I haven't worn them much. Now, I'll have to try them with a navy top and brown boots! And, no, I don't rewear clothes before I put them into the laundry basket either 🙂
Erika Slaughter says
Because of all these posts on your OTK boots I had a crazy dream about them last night!!! Except…in my dream my boots weren't OTK but I was trying to wear them that way! Ha hahahaha!
Michelle says
What size are you wearing in the French connection too? For size reference.
Sheaffer says
Good question Michelle! I'm wearing a small. I just added the info. to the post to! Thank you!
xoxo,

I don't think I own any navy tops. I'm going to take a chance and order the must have in navy. I love my black one so much I'm willing to take the risk on the navy. Fingers crossed!
Narci says
I think I do need grey jeans!! I really love them with the OTK boots!!!!
amyeK says
I love your blog, and now I need grey jeans! When I open your link to the grey jeans, I only see a blue option, do you think the grey isn't available anymore?
Sheaffer says
Hi Amy! Nordstrom changed the link in the middle of the night! I noticed it this morning and thought I fixed all of the links, but I guess I missed one. Do you know which link you clicked so I can go back and fix it? (No worries if you have no idea which one it is!)

Mugsy the Girl says
Thanks, Sheaffer! Now I have to go change. Just kidding.
I'm gonna try my grey jeans with the Loft navy striped top for fun tomorrow.
Love those boots, girl.
Peggy Bowes says
If you want a super-affordable pair of gray jean, they have them at Forever 21 for $7.80! I got a pair, and they're holding up fine. They don't look cheap at all, and they're super comfortable and a nice dark gray color. It's a great way to try the trend for the cost of a latte and a muffin.
natalie says
What jeans wld you recommend for the chocolate booties?
Sheaffer says
Hi Natalie! Any jeans that you can cuff! Also, look at Mallory above and see how even a pair of skinny jeans is perfect with booties as long as you can turn them over just one tiny little cuff! Hope this helps!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Kara Beth says
Ok, so I love the navy, grey, and brown together! I have always loved navy with brown, but a few years back I was smitten with the look of navy with black! Call me crazy. The boots are smokin'!
Natalie Zambreski says
I'm loving the grey jeans look! And I'm also in love with Mallory's vest, her outfit is PERFECT!
Anonymous says
Oh my! Yes to the grey jeans! I am all in. Love my grey modern skinny from loft! I am loving pairing them with my cognac boots or booties and mustard!! Throw a plaid scarf on and I feel great! I also got the black modern skinny and love them as well! Thanks for the fun read this morning as always!

Those OTK boots are so cute. I have wanted a pair for a couple of years but kept thinking I was too short for them and that they were going to be out of style soon/not worth it. But…I'm 5'4"…you're 5'4"…OTK boots don't seem to be going out of style at ALL this year (the opposite in fact)…I think maybe I can make this work!! And I love that the pair you chose is really affordable too. 🙂
P.S. Since November 1 is on a Saturday- will you be doing Pin-spired this Friday or on Monday? Thanks Sheaffer!

Hi Gina!
Over-the-knee boots don't look like they are going anywhere!!!!!
We are doing Pin-spired on Monday, November 3rd!

The vest is from JCrew factory but it is sold out.
Lisa says
I have the navy must have (and the wine color too – which looks great with black pants). Both are great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Susan Jeffries says
Oh please stop! I have been ordering everything you post!!! You are just nailing this whole fall style thing!! Susan
Libby Gordon says
Oh Susan, I FEEL YOUR PAIN!;) I am wearing out my iPad (amd my debit card) from clicking the links on here! But I have to say, this girl has great taste and leads us toward some GREAT clothes!!
Thanks Sheaffer !
KB says
I have the must-have shirt in navy, but I don't remember how it is wrinkle-wise. I may have to wear it today as a test.
The Camo vest was available at J.Crew Factory and possibly regular J.Crew but, as another commenter said, it's now sold out. But I found this jacket at Nordstrom this week and kinda love it, even though I'm so not a camo person. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/press-two-pocket-stretch-cotton-military-jacket/3717883?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Camo&resultback=0&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A

I am IN LOVE with that color block top and your mixing of blues and browns. Such a perfect union!

Dang it!!! I'm thisclose to needing those over the knee boots!!!! And I really don't need them. But man do I want them! Will I look as cute as you do in them?!?!?! #bandit
Libby Gordon says
Sheaffer, I have the beige waterfall cardigan from Loft but I'm not quite sure (yes, I'm a little clueless about putting things together) what to out under it that won't be too bulky. I also live on the DFW area so I love how light it is. What do yiu suggest?
Sheaffer says
Any kind of light short sleeve or long sleeve tee should be perfect! I think a simple grey v-neck would probably look great with it Libby!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Brittany says
I have the navy MUST HAVE shirt, and I have to say that it may have even surpassed the black one as my favorite (and I have the MUST HAVE shirt in 4 colors, so I'm kind of an expert). No problems with wrinkles! 🙂

As a preschool teacher I fully appreciate your Give a Mouse a Cookie hashtag. You made my day 😉

Bought my first pair of skinny jeans today – at the Juniors department in Nordstroms! Wonder where I got that idea 🙂
janda says
I also have the navy must have shirt. I wear the navy more than the black. It looks so good with the navy blardigan I bought at the NAS. I haven't had any problems with wrinkles.
Anonymous says
Hi, first I would like to say that I absolutely LOVE your blog! I really think you take the best out of Pinterest. BUT I have seen that you use a bracelet VERY often and to me it looks so cheap! It might be that in person it is the most gorgeous thing but in the pictures it just doesn't go well well with your outfits…
Shawnee says
The UPS man brought me 3 packages today and said "Shawnee, you been doing a little shopping lately?" I've ordered way too many of the things you have posted lately!! I can't do gray jeans. They look awesome on you though!!
The Queen of Quite a Lot says
I have the navy must have shirt and while it doesn't get as wrinkled as fast as the other colors, it isn't as wrinkle proof as the black. It does iron up better than the other colors though. I dry clean the pink, red, purple, and green one from last year and wash the black one myself. The colors are just for some reason really hard to iron and take forever to get to look good if I do it myself. The navy irons up really well though and is from this year. I don't know if they changed materials or suppliers or something, but it is definitely better.
Because Shanna Said So says
Gray skinny denim for the win!!! I am wearing mine in today's post too!! Whoop!
Funny in My Mind says
I have the navy shirt and was asked several times at work on Saturday if I had lost weight. I was wearing it with my grey skinny jeans from Gap that I have worn for years. I have the shirt in black too but the blue is my favorite.
Kim Kauffman says
You are just too cute! I am loving the over the knee boots. I didn't realize I needed them, but I clearly do. And, I know I already told you this, but – no problems with the navy must have wrinkling! Love the navy!
MadCity says
I ordered the grey jeans and am loving them. They are so comfortable and open up all kinds of jeans options! I just sent the OTK boots back to Sole Society. I have a black pair from DSW that I really love and I was excited to have a brown option. But they were too narrow for my calves and bunched up in a very non-attractive way. So they were sent back but I'm still looking ! Thanks for all of your great suggestions. My new fall items (sweaters, flannel shirts & all) have been fun. Since I live in the upper Midwest, fall arrived a while ago. 🙂
EatDrink Cleveland says
I snapped up a pair of grey Jordache skinnies for only $16! I saw them in Style and immediately ordered from Walmart of all places. They rock! And they're perfect if you're on the fence because they are crazy cheap.
Jessica says
I can'r seem to pull off the grey jeans myself, but you look great but all your boot posts inspired me to find a pair of black boots and I pulled the trigger and invested in a pair of Tory Burch claremont boots today..probably the most I've ever spent on a pair of boots but theyre amazing and I will keep them for years.Loving all your posts!
As I Am says
I have a great post idea for you!
How to wear you jeans/pants with ankle bookies? Tucked in or rolled up?
