What are we doing to celebrate?
Well, read below…….
gift card to help celebrate!
Not a bad deal. 🙂
Nordstrom knows how much we all love and adore their store, so they wanted to join in on the fun.
One of you is going to totally hit the shopping jackpot!
In addition to the giveaway, to celebrate Pinterest Told Me To turning 1,
I’m highlighting my 5 ABSOLUTE FAVORITES over the last 12 months.
Favorite #5 was highlighted yesterday HERE.
FAVORITE #4: Black Blazer
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE how she paired the black blazer with her brown boots!
I was seriously late to the bubble necklace trend, and after wearing it only like twice, I’m pretty much already over it. That’ll teach me. There
are a couple of more outfits I’ve seen on Pinterest with bubble
necklaces that I want to re-create, but then I think I might be done.
You guys. I loved this outfit.
inspiration image found on THIS blog |
I absolutely LOVED it. And I never ever would have put it together on my own.
Thank you Pinterest!
Bubble Necklace| Altar’d State, sold out
White Oxford| GAP, similar from GAP HERE , similar from Nordstrom HERE
(Everybody needs a basic white button up.)
Denim leggings| Swanky Boutique in downtown McKinney
Brown Boots| Nordstrom, sold out
Do you want to recreate this look for yourself?
Even though all of the above items in my outfit have sold out since my original post date, I have found other similar items that would help you recreate the look for yourself.
First off, some blazer options.
You can click a picture to find the jacket, and you can read about them below the collage.
You can also pin or tweet them by hovering over them!
There is a great option HERE with near perfect reviews and an affordable price tag!
It has ruched sleeves, and the reviews say it would work well year round. I like how it’s fitted.
Check out the skinny lapel blazer HERE.
It has rouched sleeves and is actually a tone on tone paisley fabric, so pay close attention to that.
If you’re looking for a simple black blazer, this isn’t the one for you, but if you are looking for one with a little pazazz, this one would be perfect!
I like THIS Michael kors option too. If you are looking for a more generous fit, this could be your jacket. There is also a petite option of the MK blazer HERE ,
and a plus size option HERE.
Additional plus size options HERE.
I tried THIS one on (see below), and I really liked it.
It is WAY better in person than it looks online. (It looks too dressy online.)
They only had an x-small left in the store, but I could tell I would have loved it
had it been the appropriate size.
This would be a perfect addition to your closet if you wanted to have
a classic blazer that would last you for years. (Remember, mine is 12
years old and I am still wearing it!)
If you got any of the Vigoss MUST HAVE jeans for yourself (HERE, HERE, or HERE),
this jacket would look amazing with the jeans, a t-shirt, and a great necklace.
In the picture above I have on THESE jeans and THIS shirt.
If you notice in my recreation picture, even though I had on a black blazer,
I was wearing brown boots.
I really embraced the black and brown trend last year, and I can’t wait to wear it again this year with lots of different outfits. It’s soooo much more interesting than just pairing black with black.
I even got a new pair of brown wedge boots this year and look forward to mixing them with
black all fall and winter long.
Click HERE
for my new pair of cognac brown wedge boots.
I stare at them in my
closet every morning and can’t wait until fall so I can bust them out. I
promise you that the first day it dips under 70 degrees I’m gonna throw
these babies on.
The wedge is sooooooo comfortable.
I love the height it gives me without the dressier look of an actual heel.
And the detail on the back? Swoon.
And THESE are very similar to mine in the recreation picture.
They have 228 5 Star Reviews, and they are a great cognac color.
Or click HERE for a really unique pair that I’m LOVING.
The cognac color is perfection and the design is so cool!
I posted them on facebook last Saturday and they got lots of attention!
My friend Tammy even posted this:
I have had these boots for a little over a year and ABSOLUTELY LOVE
them!!!! The leather gets more distressed over time making them look
that much more FABULOUS!
So comfy and compliments galore!!!
And you just can’t beat the price!!!!
Click HERE.
Or, if you would like some boots similar to the over the knee ones in the inspiration picture,
click HERE.
I got my leggings at a boutique in downtown McKinney, but I think that THESE
are VERY similar to mine. Mine actually feel like leotard
material (yes, I realize how crazy that sounds) than they do denim or
even actual leggings. I love them.
If you aren’t a fan, THESE HUE leggings are a great option, and they have stellar reviews.
I bought a grey pair of HUE leggings last year and absolutely fell in love with them!
Other black blazer outfits that I’ve created over the last 12 months follow:
Do you have a black blazer that you love?
A black blazer is a CLASSIC piece that you will wear for years and years (and years) to come.
So, scroll back up to the middle of the post and find your perfect blazer!
Or maybe a pair of the cognac boots kicked up your fancy?!?

Loving these birthday posts!
Cathy and Marshall says
Such a fun celebration week! You do a great job showcasing plus size and petite clothes along with regular ones, but how about any long length options for us tall girls? Blazers are my nemesis – never the right proportions on my 5'11" frame (and I refuse to pay $400 for a tall JCrew one). The Vigoss jeans are sadly way too short on me too 🙁 Keep up the great work, though! I love your blog! Lots of fun inspiration!
Kathy Olson says
Thanks so much for the giveaway!

This morning as I took my WIWW pic and looked in to the camera lens, I thought about your posts. For all these months of reading your blog it has kind of irritated me that you look at the phone/camera instead of the lens. This morning I thought, "Who cares?!?!?!" and then realized it is now part of your signature picture taking and it is kinda cute.
I love how you recreate outfits. I've done that a few times with Reese Witherspoon. I just LOVE her simple, classic style. Easy to copy and easy to wear.
Natalie says
Love the black/brown combo!! So ready for Fall to bring out the boots!
Emily Morris says
It's my real-life birthday week, too, and $365 would buy me a great, new "Pinterest Told Me To"-inspired birthday outfit!

First things first: I love how Shay always goes and buys everything you say is important to have…I love it! You have influence Sheaffer–on all of us shopping girls!!
Second thing: I love how you just put that blazer over that red t-shirt with jeans. WHAT? How cute was that and you turned that outfit up a few notches with the blazer.
I have a shorter blazer like the one you posted from the Nordstrom sale…but I reallly like the boyfriend look of the blazer you posted with the bubble necklace. I need one of these now. Greeeattttt my need list keeps growing!!
Third: I say this everyday, but I love this blog. I sit down with my coffee every morning and read yours (and Shay's) blogs. It's my morning routine! And I also have a notepad with a list titled "things I need" and I write things from yours (& Shay's) posts on it–and just mark it off as I get them–HAHAHA!
Have a fun day! Can't wait for tomorrow! 🙂

I'm obsessing over those boots, I got some really cheap target ones last year and wore them ragged!

Im commenting to win, but also need to say how much i have enjoyed your blog the last six months. You see, i like to dress classic and on a dime. Getting dressed overwhelms me. Dressing my children does too. But your blog as set me at ease. I received the hunters before reading and love them. I have purchased the denim jacket, Gap cut offs, chambray shirt, swim cover up and vigoss jeans. I feel like i have some go to pieces now. Getting dressed as become more fun and i feel stylish and confident! Thank you! I used to blog for my business and fully understand how much work it is. Keep on keepin' on!

A black blazer in the closet is a GIRLS BEST FRIEND! I have 3 which may be a tad overkill… But seriously you can wear them with jeans, dresses, shorts and leggings!

I would also love if your blog had one of those buttons where we could receive the follow up comments readers post. I think you often post some good replies and info in the comments, but i usualky forget to go back or dont have time to. I think Blue Eyed Bride has that?? jennaunruh@gmail.com

Very cool, my school district won't let us wear leggings to work unless "the dress or skirt we have over them is no more than three inches above the knee!" So, I'd need some real jeans for work, and a black blazer! I'll be on the lookout.

Love the black blazer looks. I have one similar to the ruched sleeve blazer above and I love it! But now I think I might need a dressier black blazer as well.
Thanks for doing the research for us as always!

I have not pulled the trigger on a blazer but have looked at a few I like, it is harder to find a plus size one- any ideas of ones that don't cost too much?

I have a black blazer that has been sitting in my closet for over a year! You just have me some inspiration to wear it:) Can't wait for #3 tomorrow!

Love, love, love me some black and brown! You look adorable in blazers. I'm not sure I pull them off so well although I'm warming up to them.

Love the way you styled the blazer, Sheaffer! I have the Steve Madden boots – I'm on my third pair and love them!

I've always been afraid to mix black and brown (old fashion rules die hard), but this type of look would be a perfect introduction. I can't wait to recreate this look, I even have all of the pieces in my closet.

I have a black blazer that just doesn't get enough wear. I also love the black and brown trend, especially all black outfit and brown shoes and bag. I just think it makes the brown stand out so much more and make it look more chic.

Jen Robbins says
I just purchased a schoolboy navy blazer from J.Crew when they were on sale and I'm keeping an eye out for a black one. A blazer that fits well (no matter the brand) is a closet item that always comes in handy. Only recently found your blog and I love it. So cute!! Thanks for the opportunity to win a gift card Nordstroms!
Jen Robbins says
I love black and brown together. I'm not sure what the controversy was over this color combination back in the day, but I've always found it beautiful! I just purchased a navy schoolboy blazer from J.Crew when they went on sale and I love it. I am keeping my eyes out for their next sale to purchase in black. I have a black blazer that I bought at Gap MANY Years ago that is machine washable. I've washed it so much that it's now gray (still pretty though!) Thanks for the opportunity to win a gift card to Nordies! Love Nordies!
