Hi Girls!
Before we get started today, I want to announce the winner of the 5 Kitchen Aid Mixers!

Before I get to all that, I wanted to say that the winner of our final Five Days of Fabulous prize is 
KIM TWIST!
Congratulations Kim!  You and four friends will each receive a Kitchen Aid Mixer from Williams-Sonoma!  You have 48 hours to email Shay at mixandmatchmama@yahoo.com to claim your prize!

I also want to take a minute to say Thank You for all of your entries and kind words last week!
We were overwhelmed with the level of participation and were just thrilled that y’all seemed to be just as excited as we were about everything!  All 4 other winners have already claimed their prizes and everybody was so appreciative and gracious!
And like I said before, we are already trying to figure out how to make next year even better.
Yeah, we are super Type A.

So I saw this picture on Pinterest several weeks ago and knew I had all the pieces.

click HERE for source!

So I threw it together, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to be wearing it once a week from now until the end of time.  Or at least until summer.

scarf HERE / denim shirt sold out, but options below /  MUST HAVE leggings HERE /
Frye boots sold out, but many of you have THESE and they have FANTASTIC reviews
oatmeal heather colored tank HERE / earrings HERE / similar watch HERE / bracelet HERE

Above I just wrapped it around my neck once (I’ll show you how in a second).
And here I wore it more like a cape.
Actually, I think it’s more like a shawl, but I’d prefer not to sound like a grandma, so let’s just all agree to say cape.

And then I took the pics below with my rain boots.
I wanted to show you how I wrapped the scarf, and I wanted to show how different the outfit looks with the boots.
And then the next morning, I wore the exact same outfit.
Yep.  The same outfit.  2 days in a row.
Are you judging me?
Please.
Like you’ve never done it.
😉
I was running errands that day, and I wasn’t going to see anybody that I had seen when I had worn the exact same outfit the day before.
You might call it lazy, I call it genius.

Want to get the look for yourself?
Well, let’s start with some chambray shirt options.
I love mine, and it’s from J. Crew Factory, but they no longer carry it.
I think any of the shirts below could work for leggings, as long as you order a size up.
I am featuring shirts from many different retailers and at varying price points.
There are more to see, so scroll to the right, and just click on what you are interested in!
One of them is even a maternity option!

Now, if you are interested in getting the entire look for yourself, here you go….

I’m telling you, it’s the ULTIMATE TOTALLY COMFY BUT STILL LOOK PUT TOGETHER outfit out there.  Feel free to quote me on that.

The second part of today’s post is in response to some e-mail questions.
I have received several e-mails each day over the past week of so from you ladies still needing present ideas.  Most of the e-mails were about getting presents for for the men in your lives and your teenage daughters and sons.
I knew IMMEDIATELY that I was going to recommend things that I had already recommended last year.  So new readers, LISTEN UP!
These next gifts are TRIED AND TRUE.

First up, is a gift that I talked about last year
Click HERE for the Bose Soundlink Mini Bluetooth Speaker.

 Seriously.
Best guy gift EVER.
Chris (my hubby who loves ALL THING techy but is SUPER CRAZY picky when it comes to electronics and sound) has this exact one and gives it 5 stars!
If your guy is in to gadgets like my guy, he will totally LOVE this.
And he will love you for getting it for him.
We take it to the ranch, we sit on the back porch with it, we even take it to friend’s houses if we know we are going to be on a back porch or out by a pool.
It is awesome.
Click HERE.
At $199.99 it’s not cheap, but it IS awesome.
This could be one of those 1 and DONE presents.  And he’ll be THRILLED.

Chris loves all BOSE products, and Nordstrom carries several HERE.

Oh, and the above speaker isn’t just for hubbies, tell me what teenage guy wouldn’t love it too!
(If you have any reservations about this speaker, check out the comments section below!  People LOVE IT!!!!)

This next idea IS A GOOD ONE for GIRLS!
Click HERE for Clarisonic systems.
I received a Clarisonic as a gift from my sister  several years ago (THANK YOU SEESTER!), and I love in it and BELIEVE IN IT sooo much.  She had one and loved it so much and she knew I had to have one too.
This product totally lives up to all of the hype.
(The one pictured is sold out, but there are LOTS of others to choose from HERE.)
If your loved ones are pestering lovingly asking you for gift ideas, then this could be what you send them!  And if you have a teenage daughter, this is an awesome idea for a present.
I picked out some of the most descriptive reviews I could find.
If you are on the fence about getting this system, you won’t be after reading the following.
5 out of 5
AMAZING
I have oily acne prone skin and this is by far the best product that has even been able to keep it in check. My pores has shrunk and are clear and I maybe have A blackhead. I use it with products I can buy at a drug store. Seriously, I strongly suggest everyone to have one. You will love it.

5 out of 5

 UNBELIEVABLE!!!

This product is wonderful. I am 53 years old and have very oily skin. I’ve tried everthing and this is, by far, the best cleansing product for my skin. I don’t even need a toner after using this. There is no residue left on my face after cleansing with this. My skin is so smooth now and my pores look smaller. It’s the best investment I’ve made; I just wish I had bought it sooner!!!

5 out of 5
I shouldn’t have waited so long!
I’ve always had good skin – but now I have INCREDIBLE skin. What was once just clear, reasonably smooth skin is now glowing with health. Fine lines that had started to develop have vaporized, and I’m even noticing an evening out of skin tone.
The Clarisonic Mia 2 has changed my cleansing regimen for the better – not only is it quicker, but also way more thorough. My skin is now flawless, because for the first time I am getting facial-quality cleansing on a daily basis at home!
Do yourself a favour, and invest in the future of your skin. Invest in a Clarisonic!

My goodness!  Does that last lady work for Clarisonic?!?  🙂
“Invest in the future of your skin!”
WOW.

**************************************************************
And if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, every guy needs a Northface jacket.
Click HERE for all of them for the guys.
Click HERE Chris’s favorite.
Or maybe you or one of the ladies on your list needs one?!?
Click HERE for the one I’m thinking of adding to my list!

And you know I love how Nordstrom organizes their gift guide.  I also like buying from Nordstrom whenever I can for Christmas because of their amazing return policy.

Have a great Monday everybody!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

    Ohhhhh! I love!!! The mysterious girl looks a little like Erika, right? Maybe it's her secretly pinning images of herself :).

    I second that Bose speaker! Just bought it last week for my son's birthday…that little thing has some POWER! It's great because it so portable…back and forth from dorm room to home, over to a friend's, etc…and I believe it will automatically pause if you get a phone call…or something like that anyway. 😉

    Good Morning Sheaffer! I'm sorry to hear you are under the weather. Regarding two of your suggestions. I gave my 25 yr old son the Bose speaker and he LOVED IT!! Also, the Clarisonic is AMAZING! I bought it about a year ago and used it for a couple weeks and then quit, not sure why. I saw a story on TV about a month ago, so charged it back up and started using again. I was amazed the difference in my skin. I get a monthly microdermabrasion and even my anesthetist commented on how it looked!! It is definitely from using the Clarisonic! It cleans your skin so good that when you use your moisturizer, it can penetrate your skin and really work on those fine lines. :). It's worth every penny! Love your blog and thank you for your commitment to fashion and everything you do!!

    LOVE the outfit! I'm notorious for wearing the same outfit on Sunday and Monday – because the last thing I want to think about on Monday morning is picking out an outfit 🙂 Happy Monday, friend!!!

    We LOVE the Bose Soundocks! We purchased these for our very hard to buy for parents last year, and everyone still raves about them. So of course we had to buy one for ourselves as well.
    And you make me feel so much better knowing you "recycle" outfits too! 🙂

    AHHHH COMPLETELY FREAKING OUT!!!! (as I've just told you and Shay via e-mail)

    Just… a million times thank you. The odds were infinitesimal and I'm thrilled to share these with my loved ones!!!

    I just have to say… I love capes. 🙂 oh, you could call it a wrap though… that sounds very proper doesn't it? Going to get my wrap… Feel like I'm in a different century, one where men wear ties and women wear shirtwaists. ahh.. anyhoo… sorry about that. 🙂
