Happy Friday, y’all!
I’ve got a Shopping with Sheaffer post today, and I’m pumped!
These kinds of posts are some of my favorite kinds to do. They take a good bit of time (from sourcing items, to placing orders, to unpacking boxes, trying things on, sending some things back, styling outfits, creating links, writing reviews, etc). But still, they are a favorite!!! My goal is always to be a great resource for all of you, and by sharing several retailers and lots of different pieces, I think these posts help make fashion accessible and shopping easy and fun.
Today I’m highlighting pieces from Nordstrom, Walmart, Social Threads, Loft, and Amazon. I think most of you will be sure to find at least 1 item you would like to add to your closet.
Let’s Get Started…
**********
This first outfit has a t-shirt you’ve seen on me for probably 5 years now, and the jeans are my favorite jeans from last year (but they brought them back this year)! This outfit from the tee to the sneaks is the perfect base outfit all fall long to throw all types of cardigans and jackets on top. Today I’m using it as the base outfit to highlight several different fall bags.
But before we get to the bags, let’s talk about all the other pieces, starting with the tee. This is the Madewell whisper thin tee. The length of the v-neck is perfect for me, and I like how the fit isn’t too tight or too boxy. They are quite thin, so the tees usually only last me 1-2 seasons, but for $19.50 I’m okay with that because I get tons of use out of them. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

These jeans were my very favorite jeans last fall, and they’re back! I’m so excited! They are a straight leg jean, they are the perfect ankle length, and they have a raw hem and cute little slits on the sides. They are perfect with sneakers, with flats, with booties, and with heels! If you’re looking for an awesome pair of jeans at an affordable price point, these are your jeans.
They are a great way to not wear a skinny jean without having to go total wide leg or flare. As far as I’m concerned, these are THE JEANS for fall! I’m wearing my regular size 4, but size down if between sizes. If you’re not familiar with Wit and Wisdom jeans, they are super stretchy and very comfy. They have Ab-Solution technology, and they mold and hold you while still allowing you to breathe. They really are soooo flattering and incredibly comfortable.

This pic is about the sneakers, but check out the subtle frayed hem and the side slits on the jeans. So cute! (And while you’re at it, check out the precious pup.) 😉
These sneakers come in tons of color options, and I have a couple of them, but this pair is a great neutral option (officially the “white/tan leather”). I love that you just slip them on and don’t have to worry about tying the laces. They are quite comfy and are a great casual touch with so many outfits. I wear them with jeans, shorts, skirts, and dresses. True to size for me.
Earlier this week I showed you a $25 pair of sneakers that are super cute too, but the ones below are real leather if that’s what you would prefer. They are also more narrow than the $25 option. Both are great options to the over $500 Golden Goose sneakers. (But I have to say, I do love my pair of GG sneaks.)

This woven tote is the one I featured in a lot of the outfit planning collages I did a couple of weeks ago. It’s expensive, but dang it’s gorgeous. So many of you loved it, but wanted me to find a dupe. I’ve looked high and low for a dupe, but I haven’t found anything like it yet. It’s real leather, this stunning neutral color, and the basket weave is just so pretty. Also, it’s a great medium size! I don’t like totes that are humongous, but I definitely want to be able to pack everything I need into it.

This love knot red tote makes me happy. The color is gorgeous, and I’m finding that it really adds some extra oomph to lots of fall outfits! It’s large, it doesn’t have any type of structure, and I think it’s super fun. It also comes in black, mustard, cream, and taupe.

This bag strap (stripe rose brown) and bag combo was all over August’s Amazon Haul as well as my outfit planning collages. It makes every outfit cuter. Seriously.

This crossbody bag is one that I just showed for the first time on Wednesday, and I can’t get over it. It’s a wonderful Kelly green, and it is beautifully made. IT LOOKS DESIGNER, Y’ALL. The interior has 2 different compartments and a large zippered pocket, which makes it easy to organize your stuff inside. Carry it cross body or by the top handle. It’s a really great bag. I wish it came in other colors for those of you that don’t want to go bold with green but I happen to love it! It would be so chic with an all black outfit! And get this. It’s just under $25.

I’ve had this bag since the spring and have gotten so much use out of it already. It’s such a great year-round bag, but it lives out its fullest potential in fall. 🙂 This is the “brown”, but it comes in 8 other colors, including a metallic silver and gold. Fun! It’s the closest dupe I’ve found to the Anthro woven leather tote I featured earlier in the post, but it’s still not a close match.

For this outfit, I changed out my sneaks for my new leopard flats! More on the flats in a minute.
This black bag is fab. It somehow manages to be both edgy and chic. It’s similar to a Nordstrom bag I picked up last year, but I actually like this one better because the bag itself isn’t so heavy. Wear it crossbody or double up the strap to wear it over your shoulder.

Here’s a closer look at the leopard flats. These ballet flats are totally charming and will add a little bit of sass to your outfits. I happen to love this leopard pattern, but if you don’t, there are lots of solid options as well. I love them with ankle jeans and my must have black pants. True to size for me.

Look! How! Cute!
And here are all the bags I featured today side by side! Starting at $24.98 and going all the way up to $350, there’s something for everybody! Which ones is your favorite?

Do y’all remember this outfit inspo collage from last month?

I grabbed the jeans and threw the outfit together with items I already had!
I’m wearing the “smokey twiglight” here, but these flare jeans also come in deep seagrass, icy blue, warm sand, and optic white. Like my denim above, these are also from Wit and Wisdom and also boast the Ab-Solution technology. I’m wearing my regular size 4, and they are a bit more fitted in the waist than my other Wit and Wisdom jeans, so you probably don’t want to size down in these.
The denim jacket is a great light wash, it’s got a super cute fit, it has a good amount of stretch, and it’s just under $25! It’s not only me that likes it, there are hundreds of 5 star reviews, so go check those out if you need a little more convincing. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I’m reposting this Loft top from a couple of weeks ago because I LOVE IT SO MUCH and now it’s 40% OFF!
It’s called “strawberry pink”, which I think makes it sound like a super summery shirt… but I actually think the colors are really beautiful for fall. The background is a really pretty deep pink, and then the dahlia design has different grey/blues, wine, cream and white, and even a little bit of mustard as an accent. I LOVE THE COLORS. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I now have a handful of Social Threads items to share, so remember to use the code STMT10 for 10% OFF on all Social Threads items.
This heart cape cardigan is adorable! (Notice how I just threw it on top of my base outfit I highlighted at the beginning of today’s post.)
It’s soooooooooo soft and features a shawl collar, open-front style with ribbed detail, dolman sleeves with ribbed cuffs and a boxy high-low silhouette. It’s not long enough for most of us to wear with leggings, but I’ll be wearing the heck out of it with jeans. The fitted sleeves really keep it from appearing too boxy. Remember to use the code STMT10.

It really is so flipping cute.

Okay, y’all.
I’m officially FLIPPING OUT over this dress.
Flipping.
Out.
It’s DARLING.
The colors are gorgeous, the floral pattern is so pretty, and the fit is fabulous. It features a ruffle detail neckline, button-down front, sheer sleeves with smocked cuffs and a relaxed silhouette with self-tie belt. It comes with a lilac-colored spaghetti strap slap to wear under it, so you don’t have to worry about the body being too sheer. If you’re a tall girl, this might be too short on you, but I love the length on me. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. Don’t forget to use the code STMT10. This is a dress that I would expect to pay well over $100 for, but it’s only $79 AND you get the 10% discount!
I styled it here first with a pair of studded sandals with a modern heel.

These studded sandals are probably in my Top 10 Amazon fashion purchases of all times. They are quite comfy to walk in and they look great! I love this studded option, but they come in lots of color options without studs as well. True to size for me.
Here are two more ways to style the dress…
On the left, you’ll see that I removed the little belt and am wearing the dress more as a shift. This adds a bit of length and it’s still super cute!
On the right I’ve styled it with booties. I LOVE IT with booties.
Left: dress / earrings / necklace / gold bracelet stack / leopard flats
Right: dress / earrings / necklace / gold bracelet stack / booties
These booties are my favorite booties I’ve ever owned AND they are ON SALE! The color is a deep and rich brown, the heel height is perfect, they are really comfy, and I think the little cut-outs are so flattering to the leg. True to size for me.
And I couldn’t resist styling the dress with this puff sleeve jacket. It’s a beautiful caramel color, it has bronze buttons, and tiny little pleats with super subtle puff sleeves. And probably most importantly, it has quite a bit of stretch in it! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. You can use the STMT10 code on both the jacket and the dress!

This polo sweater is a beautiful soft grey with a polo collar, and it has some blingy pearl and rhinestone buttons. I think it looks great styled casually with jeans and sneakers, but I will also wear it with must have black pants and pumps. Now, this sweater isn’t super soft, but it’s not super scratchy either. If you don’t like wearing sweaters that aren’t buttery soft, this one probably isn’t for you. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Here’s another top I’ll be wearing with my must have black pants and pumps. It’s hard to see the detail in my picture, but the smocking around the neck and shoulders is lovely. Click the link to see the detail shots! It features a smocked ruffle detail neckline with front tie, smocked cuffs, rounded hemline and a relaxed silhouette. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium, but I think a small would be fine.

I’m showing this graphic blouse because I love it (in theory), but it just didn’t work on me. 🙁 When I pulled it out of the box, I just knew it was going to be a favorite. The colors are beautiful, and the sleeves are so dramatic and fun, but the fit was just off for my short frame. I think it will be wonderful on somebody that is tall and thin. Case and point, I love how it looks on the model on the Socia Threads site! It looks like a very expensive shirt from Anthropologie.

Did you see my Walmart post yesterday? I had lots of fun styling pink and green together.
In addition to the pink and green items featured, I had other items I wanted to highlight for y’all this week.
Y’all know I love a cardigan, and how cute are these colors! Wide stripes in navy, camel, and pink come together in this adorable cardi. It’s a mid weight, and while it can of course be worn over a t-shirt, I like it worn on its own as well. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. It also comes in solid black, solid olive, and a solid winter white. It’s under $20, so it’s an awesome value for a great basic.

Ladies. This next item was a total surprise.
LIKE I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT.
I still can’t, actually.
It is sweet, lovely, feminine, and flattering. The faux wrap, the ruffles on the neckline and sleeves, the fluttery hem…I love it all.
AND GET THIS. It’s $18.98.
Like WHAT.
It comes in a black floral too. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
