I wanted to take just a minute this morning to encourage everybody to continue praying and to continue giving to the survivors of Hurricane Harvey. As mentioned previously, I have several friends in Houston that were directly impacted by the storm. My best friend from high school lives in Memorial, and her house somehow did not take on water. Jill and her family have set up their home as a command center for what they are affectionately calling “Project KA Rescue”. Jill’s husband Michael and all of his buddies were KA’s at A&M, and they are doing everything they can to help friends and family begin the clean up process.
My sister’s best friend however, who also lives in Memorial, had to evacuate with her husband and 3 boys (all under 7) on Saturday. Their house still has so much water in it that they haven’t been able to return yet.
Prayers, money, supplies, and time are all still desperately needed by the people of Houston and all of the surrounding areas. Let’s continue to give! Click HERE to see my post last Wednesday where I highlight several different ways to get involved. I will continue to give updates as well as ideas on how to get involved as I receive them.

NOW IT’S TIME FOR THE SALE ROUND UP!!!
LOFT is 40% OFF all regularly priced items and an additional 60% OFF sale items. WOW. Click HERE to shop.
I saw this blouse online and immediately fell in love. I loved the cut, the gorgeous floral pattern, and the fun bows on the shoulder. I also knew it would look great with both jeans and dress slacks, so I would get a lot of use out of it. Sadly, when I put it on, I realized it would look better on somebody with lighter color hair. The black bows kind of just get lost in my hair (my hair is such a dark brown that it’s basically black), and they just kind of merge together. For that reason, I’ll be sending this blouse back. 🙁 Those of you with lighter color hair should jump on it right now at 40% OFF!
For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the top. It’s oversized and flowy and perfect.
NOW. THE BOOTS. I’m going to be talking about them more on Friday. But here’s what you need to know now: 1) They are AWESOME. 2) You probably need them. Sizes are already disappearing at Nordstrom, but you can also find them at Sole Society HERE. Very comfy and true to size.

And I’m DYING over THIS mixed media top. The deep plum color is so pretty, the floral is unexpected, and I love the ties on the sleeves! (See the same idea with a black sweater and a graphic pattern HERE).

Nordstrom has TONS OF NEW MARKDOWNS!
First, I’m going to highlight some previous outfit pics that have items that are NOW ON SALE!
In this first out, THE TOP AND THE EARRINGS ARE NOW ON SALE!
Let’s start with this peplum from Madewell! I think it’s such a great shirt because it has the feeling of a classic button up, but it surprises you with the fun peplum hem. And I of course am a big fan of the tiny striped pattern. I have it paired here with some black skinny jeans (more on these in a second) and some over the knee boots!
Size References: I sized up to a medium in the shirt. If you don’t have a large chest, you might be able to go with your regular size, but another reviewer talked about sizing up for more room in the shoulders.
peplum top / earrings / necklace / black skinny jeans c/o Wit and Wisdom / over the knee boots / frye bag
THE BLOUSE AND EARRINGS ARE ON SALE in this next picture as well!
This blouse is chic and sophisticated, while still managing to somehow be a little bit sassy!
I’ve obviously paired it here with black jeans and taupe booties for a casual outfit, but this would be a PERFECT work wear piece. Imagine how great it would look with black or grey slacks or a pencil skirt (click HERE for one with great reviews)! I think the color is gorgeous, and the tie neck and pleated shoulders make this such a pretty and feminine blouse.
For size reference, I thought I was going to need to size up in this blouse, so I got a medium. I was wrong. You can’t tell because how I have tucked it in here, but I was swimming in it (even the sleeves were huge). My regular size small would have fit much better. If you don’t have a large chest, other reviewers suggest that you might even be able to size down. Personally, I think my regular size is what’s going to work for me.
tie neck blouse/ earrings / initial necklace/ black skinny jeans c/o Wit and Wisdom / heeled booties
THE EARRINGS AND MILITARY JACKET ARE ON SALE!
This jacket is different than typical military jackets you see, and I love it! It’s double breasted, has frayed edges, and a ruffle peplum hem! Well, I’ve got great news. When I first talked about this jacket, it was only available in black. But it’s now available in army green (which is actually an awesome neutral) as well! I sized up to a medium.
ruffle hem military jacket /blush tee /earrings / necklace / vigoss jeans / booties
THESE PANTS ARE ON SALE!
The pants are stretchy, soft, and comfy FOR THE WIN. I’m wearing a 27P, so they are true to size if you want them to hit at the ankle (I’m 5’4″). They also have them in regular length and plus size! If army green isn’t your thing, there’s grey too!
slim utility pants / plus size slim utility pants (sadly, not on sale)
SEVERAL WATCHES ORIGINALLY AVAILABLE IN THE ANN. SALE ARE NOW ON SALE AGAIN! BOTH 50% OFF!
Yesterday I showed y’all my mixed metal with bling Kate Spade watch, but I love THIS one from Tory Burch too! The little TB logo rotates with the tic of each second! I can’t decide which one I’m going to get, but I know I need to order today!
turquoise beaded bracelet / watch
THE MADEWELL TOTE IS 50% OFF!!!! The hoodie is also on sale, but it’s almost gone.
soft hoodie / plus size soft hoodie / Articles of Society jeans / shoreline converse / Madewell tote
And please don’t forget….I talked about the best bra ever on facebook on Saturday (because it went 40% OFF!), and it got lots of love from readers! Click HERE for the bra. Click HERE to see the comments on the facebook post. It’s official. Y’all are just as devoted to the bra as I am. #youaremypeople

Anthropologie is an ADDITIONAL 40% OFF all sale merchandise. Click HERE to shop.
This MIXED METAL NECKLACE is so pretty and interesting, and an AMAZING deal! (reg. $48 / NOW 40% OFF of $29.95)
I love the colors available in this open shoulder top, and this neutral layered top would look great with skinny jeans and boots! These glitter orb earrings are pretty amazing.
*******************************************
If you are a fan of my sister Conner’s WORK WEAR posts, then I know you’ve probably admired her GiGi New York Teddie tote. Well, today it’s 20% OFF with code LABOR20 and you get FREE PERSONALIZATION and FREE SHIPPING! WHAT A DEAL!
The tote also comes in a light grey, navy, taupe, and a new stunning green!

*******************************************
Through tonight, Ann Taylor is 50% OFF select full price styles and an additional 60% OFF sale styles!
This striped ruffle cuff sweater is one of the most darling sweaters I’ve ever laid my eyes on. And right now it’s 50% OFF. It looks great with white (as seen below), but I would love to see it with navy or black slacks or a pencil skirt.
This top looks great too! I love this soft blush color paired with the bold graphic flowers. And the cut is different and very feminine!
********************************************
Okay, that’s it for today girls! Hope you have a wonderful day, and I’ll see you back here on Wednesday!
Holli says
Thank you for continuing to support fundraising for the victims of Harvey. I live near Beaumont, and this entire area was also hit very hard. I have so many friends and family that flooded and lost everything. Some of them just finished rebuilding from catastrophic river flooding in March 2016. It is just unreal.
Sheaffer says
You’re of course welcome, Holli! This is a marathon. xoxo
Renee Zalusky says
I can’t find the grey skin utility pants at Nordstrom?? Were they from somewhere else?
Thanks
Sheaffer says
Hi, Renee! I just checked, and they are now sold out. 🙁 So sorry!
Jill says
I live in the Houston area and my house was spared. I have friends, that were not so lucky! My friends and family in my home state of Illinois, are asking how to help. I’ve asked those who want to help, to get gift cards from Home Depot and send them directly to my friend Shelley, who has 4 kids under the age of 12.and lost everything.. They do not have flood insurance, very few of the people do not. This is a way of giving can guarantee the assistance is going directly to help a very needy family! Thank you for your Blog and for your precious sweet heart! This horrific devastation if something you cannot get your mind around…..You are helping by reminding people that this is not over….
Sheaffer says
Prayers for Shelley and all the families affected! Most of the people I know that were affected do not have flood insurance, because they weren’t in the flood plain. It’s absolutely heartbreaking.
Melissa @ Finding My Mojo says

Amanda Bordonaro says
So many great sales! I love those tall boots. Too bad they don’t ship to Canada 🙁
Thanks for continuing to raise awareness about Harvey. It seems once the news coverage calms down, people forget there are still thousands trying to put their lives back together.
Sheaffer says
I agree, Amanda! I plan to continue to shed light on needs! xoxo
Narci says
That ruffle hem military jacket is darling! Just so cute!
Tina says
Hi Shaeffer and friends,
The Natori Bra is always at Steinmart, if you have one, and always costs just 29.95. Just thought I’d share. I have been wearing this bra for 7 years and love it!

Meg says
Are you wearing the mushroom or taupe Sole Society boots? Thanks 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hey, Meg! I’m wearing the mushroom! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
