But I feel like I need to just fess up that I wore THIS necklace. Again.
Yes, I know.
It’s bordering on weird now.

It was cold and rainy on Monday morning, so I threw this outfit on while following my WHITE JEANS + DENIM JACKET + COLORFUL TEE + PENDANT NECKLACE OUTFIT FORMULA,
and getting dressed was a cinch!!!
See HERE and HERE for previous posts on OUTFIT FORMULAS.

So I wore the above outfit to meet some blog friends for lunch on Monday.
Nicole is a a reader who I met at Nordstrom (I know, SHOCKER!) about a year or so ago. Shay and I were both in the kid’s shoe department (buying Natives….again…SHOCKER), and Nicole was with a couple of her little girls (she has 4 beautiful girls!). She recognized both of us, and she was heading to a birthday party that night for a friend that also read our blogs (Hi Rebecca!). She had a Nordstrom gift card that she was giving her for her birthday, and she had us both sign the card.
SO FUN!
Anyway, Nicole and I have become friendly since that first meeting! We’re facebook friends, and we message each other occasionally. Just so you can ooooh and ahhhhh over her darling family….here’s a picture…I mean really, they need to stop being so cute.
Nicole had shared with me that her mom and sister also read the blog, so we thought it would be fun to all do lunch one day!
Well, Nicole’s sister Trisha (also DARLING of course!) was in town for Easter so we decided that Monday would be the perfect day to meet for lunch. Nicole and Trisha cooked up this plan for us to meet, but not tell their mom that I was going to be there.
I walked up to the table and Mary Jo (the mom) was so surprised!
They had been at Nordstrom all morning and apparently she had been saying things like “Sheaffer loves these!” and “I wonder if Sheaffer would like that?” Which I of course love to hear!
All 3 of them were absolutely sweet as can be, easy to talk to, and just a ton of fun!
Here we are after our amazing lunch!
We shared lots of laughs and just had a a great time!
Thank you Trisha, Nicole, and Mary Jo for a very special lunch!

So here’s another story for you. Over the last couple of years I’ve made quite the transformation.
I went from being a bonafied blog stalker of Big Mama to being friends with her.
🙂
And now I’m also friends with Melanie’s (Big Mama’s) college friend Jamie (Jamie is in her new book Nobody’s Cuter Than You) and Jamie’s sister, Jennifer and Jennifer’s daughter Maddie.
And tomorrow night I get to hang out with all of them when I head to Melanie’s book signing in Dallas! I’m so excited!
I posted this shot on instagram a couple of weeks ago about 10 minutes after receiving the book in the mail. Notice the caption.
Girls! The book officially released yesterday, so you can now order it HERE!
And you can read a little bit about how the book came to be HERE.
And please know that if you click HERE, you are going to see lots of amazing pictures of Melanie back in the day that include perms, sleeves bigger than your head, a couple of questionable hats, an unfortunate vest, and LOTS OF LOVE between friends.
Order it.
Now.
And you should probably go ahead and order one for your besties too.
Reading the book will make you remember how grateful you are for your girlfriends!
I mean, I know we all love and adore our girlfriends, but it was nice to really think about just how much my girlfriends have meant to me and the undeniable impact they have had on my life.
Because y’all.
It’s awesome.
Like, all other black jumpsuits need to bow down to THIS one: the mother of all black jumpsuits.
It’s just that good.
You could dress it up with blingy jewelry and heels, or you could dress it down a bit.
I texted Melanie a picture of me trying it on after it arrived (yeah, we text now….told ya we were friends) :), and was all “I bought the jumpsuit you talked about. And I think I’m in love.”
She agreed that it was jumpsuit perfection, and she ordered it too.
Click HERE for the jumpsuit (it comes in blue too!)!
For size reference, I’m wearing a small…and although long, it’s not so long that I have to get it hemmed. I just have to wear tall shoes.
But I ended up deciding on THESE heels (yes they’re expensive, but yes I bought them – luckily I snagged them on sale last week and they were $30 cheaper) and THIS necklace and THESE earrings. I feel like the brass jewelry with the snakeskin shoes (with the funky wooden heel) is going to funk the jumpsuit up a bit. Plus, the shoes are really comfy because of the thick heel! #score
Look at me wearing a jumpsuit.
#itmakesmefeelcool
The colors are gorgeous, and the side panels add lots of interest.
It’s super flowy and just has a fun fit.
If you like floral and flowy, this tee is for you.
#i’mlookingatyouandrea
Click HERE for the floral Elysia tee. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
And it’s starting to get awkward, but you can find my necklace HERE.
Like you didn’t already know.
And that’s of course my Barrington leather tote in the background. You can find it HERE .
(And a little birdie told me the code ptmtsave10 is still working on the Barrington site!)
For size reference, I’m wearing an x-small.
How cute would this be with skinny white jeans and some cognac wedges?
Some random sale items I found at Nordsrom….
sorry, but I ran out of time to make a collage…….
THESE espadrilles from Sam Edelman are 30% OFF
And THESE espadrille wedges (that Nicole was wearing at our lunch) are 25% OFF! SO CUTE!
Y’all!!!!!!!!! THIS adorable ikat tote went 50% OFF and is now UNDER $25!

**********************************************************************
And then I saw THIS tote at Target.
I was in a big hurry, so I took a picture as I blew by because I thought it was so dang cute.
And now it haunts me.
Click HERE.
It’s only $39.99, and because you can get free shipping with a minimum order of $25,
you’ll be all set!
*************************************************************************
Love the coral and turquoise! Click HERE .
And I’m pretty much dying over the wooden ones HERE.
(Remember the code ptmtspring15 still works for the necklace!)
I’m thinking they would coordinate nicely without being too matchy matchy!!!!!
I’m not a fan of matchy matchy.
**********************************************************************
The Shopbop Friends and Family Sale is happening right now!
Hold up girls! Don’t even go there!
Nordstrom is basically price matching everything on their site!
So, just shop stuff on the Nordstrom site and it will have one of the red “price matching” banners by the items that qualify!
Click HERE to shop the items at Nordstrom where you can still get free shipping, free returns, and the customer service we all love!!!!
Many things are still out of my price range, but you can get some good deals on Michael Kors watches, some great totes, or maybe you need a pretty clutch for an event this summer?
I think I’ve only shopped Shopbop twice in my entire life, but both times were during a sale and I was happy with my deals!
*************************************************************
You can also shop 2 different sales at LOFT right now.
Click HERE to shop at an additional 50% OFF of already reduced items!
Or shop HERE for 50% OFF some selected new Spring merchandise.
I have THIS sleeveless blouse (it looks great with both my red and black Marisa pants)!
Some of the utility blouses are 50% OFF, and I have 2 of them! They are great! Click HERE!
That’s it for today girls!
See you back here on Friday!

Sheaffer 🙂

Narci says
1. That jumpsuit! Girl! 2. What a fun lunch 3. I ordered hat book yesterday! Can't wait to read it!!
Allyson Butler says
I never thought I'd love a jumpsuit, but that is SO CUTE! Not sure it would work for my third trimester physique, but I can love it from afar (for now at least!). Also…I'm obsessed with those tassel necklaces and think I definitely need a few or 10…
Lisa B says
You look so cute in all your outfits. Especially loving the black jumpsuit!! I have a silly question. Can you address wearing white pants so early in the season. They look so good on you but I feel like it might be a bit early where I live–NY/NJ area. Thx!!
Sheaffer says
Hi Lisa! Gone are the days of following rules about when to wear white jeans. They are a GO all year long. I even wear them in winter! It feels weird doing it at first, but then you get used to it!!!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Charming Lucy says
Well you finally talked me into it! I ordered the necklace today and the code makes shipping almost free! Thanks! I am excited to style it! Susan
Sabrina says
Sheaffer!! I love that jumpsuit on you. And girlfriend, those accessories and those shoes that you bought to go with the jumpsuit—PERFECTION!!! You look awesome!!!! Thanks for all the fun finds today! 🙂
Gina Foster says
Cute pictures from your lunch — sweetest family ever! I bet Mary Jo was so surprised, I hear all the time from Nicole how she is seriously your biggest fan!! Love the necklace and the target tote is super cute too!
Sheaffer says
Hi Gina! The whole family is sweet AND FUN!!!! I had the best time! 🙂
xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Eileen says
Great post!! I am having so much fun reading your blog! Also, fed ex or UPS is now showing up at my house almost daily, lol. I ordered the necklace yesterday! 🙂

That is a super cute jumpsuit, and I'm not normally a fan of them! Looks great on you!
April Parrish says
You look fabulous in the jumpsuit and I love the heels you ordered!!!
And I'm a little jealous…I live in N.C. but I could totally fly to Texas to do lunch???!!!! LOL!!!
Have a blessed day!
Sheaffer says
April, just tell me when and where and I'll be there! You are one of the readers that has been with me the longest, and I would love to hang out!!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Heather says
That jumpsuit looks fantastic on you! Do you think a woman with a three-c-sections tummy could pull that off? Is there stretch at the waist!
Sheaffer says
Hi Heather! There is a little stretch at the waist…but it has a little more structure than I was expecting. Give it a whirl, with free shipping and returns there's no risk! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Megan says
Girl! That jumpsuit! Wow….Looks awesome, and normally I am not a jumpsuit person, but that one is gorgeous! I love it!
Slightly Askew Designs says
Look at you in that jumpsuit, hottie!!! I expect to see you wearing that on EVERY girls night this summer – you look FABULOUS!!! And I will more than likely be wearing that floral tee!!! LOVE 🙂

Three Gals and a Guy says
That jumpsuit on you!! Seriously! I just ordered Nobody's Cuter Than You and now I am counting down the hours until I can go home and snuggle on the couch with it. You also are not helping with my budget this month as every time I see you post about that necklace- I go to the site and eye it and almooooost click add to cart. I just need to take the dive and buy it already! So cute and versatile! Anyway, as always, a great, fun post!
Linzzi says
I love the watch you are wearing in the coral, turquoise and wooden bracelet photos. Where did you get that from?
Sheaffer says
Hi Linzzi! It's from Nordstrom, but it's been sold out for over a year now! So sorrry! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Whitney @ Work it Mommy says

We absolutely LOVED having lunch with you on Monday!! So happy we were able to pull off our celebrity guest surprise…my mom was truly shocked! I hope all of your readers see this comment and know that you are without a doubt just as sweet and fun and friendly and down to earth as we had imagined you would be…we have loved reading your blog and now love even more that we know the fabulous lady behind the blog too!

Sheaffer says

Amy Dalon says
Um, is it crazy that I read your post and was in Anthro by 10:30am buying that Elysia top?? My store had 2 left, and 1 of them was a small- score!! 🙂
Angela says
Lookin out for my Nordstrom shoppers – they're price matching items from the Shopbop Friends & Family Sale! Obviously not all items are price matched, and it's a little hard to tell because right now there isn't a "we're price matching" banner on items, but the price is reflecting the 25% discount. It's definitely a little work to have both sites open to check pricing and what not, but I think it's worth it to rack up those Nordstrom rewards points 🙂
Sheaffer says
Thanks for this Angela! I've updated the post with this information!!!! You're awesome!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Because Shanna Said So says
I am so getting this book!!! And you are going to ROCK it at the party….that jumpsuit is everything!! And this little ladies luncheon is the best thing….you have so many amazing women supporting you. Keep it up!!

Karen Ward says
I just ordered the white jeans from Target. Can't wait to get them and see if they are as fabulous as you say!
Andrea (127things) says
Ok, first of all, I kept staring at you in that black jumpsuit (not creepily or anything- I don't usually like jumpsuits much but you look amazzzing in it!!!) Secondly, for a girl that has never had a pair of white jeans, which to do you recommend the most? And finally, as far as dresses for weddings…have you seen this one in person? I am loving them online but can't tell if they will be too short for formal weddings I have coming up!? It is the BB Dakota 'Rhianna' Illusion Yoke Lace Fit and Flare Dress on Nordstrom's site. Have a fabulous night!!!! xoxo
Sheaffer says
Hi Andrea!
As far as white jeans go, at this point I'm either recommending my white ones from Target or the Articles of Society from Nordstrom. You can find both of them in Monday's and Wednesday's post! I have not seen that dress in person, but it looks like it could be great!!!!!! Sorry I'm not more help! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Mary Deckert says
Amazing post! Love the jumpsuit! At the end of your post I had I actually gasped out loud when I realized a person could shop by searching "price matching!" What?! How did I not know this?!
Grace says
You wore white jeans on a rainy day? Brave woman!!!
PS Sheaffer how tall are you that you wear petite??
Sheaffer says
Hi Grace! I'm almost 5'4". I often wear petite in dresses and skirts, but I never do in pants. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Andrea (127things) says
Thank you sooo much!! I was behind on my blog reading! Just went back and read and am ordering the Nordstrom ones! Thank you so much! Have a great day! 🙂
mindy@thesuburbanlife says
Grrrrrrrlllll…why do you do this to me? That Barrington bag. I can't even. It's haunting my life. I needs it. I wants it. I may have to head to Target and pick up the Merona just to appease the "phantom bag syndrome" I've been experiencing. 🙂
