I know, UGH.
But I do have some good news for you:
You get to “go shopping” with me today at Anthropologie and Nordstrom!!!
Shay wasn’t with me on this trip to Northpark. which meant it was a whole lot less fun….but I still got to meet a friend for lunch at the Nordstrom Bistro (that’s right, I don’t just shop at Nordstrom, I eat there too). 🙂 And fyi, I had the crab, avocado, and mango stack.
Holy Yummy.
So, before I started trying on clothes, I thought you should see my standard going to the mall outfit.
I almost always wear my must have shirt, my cuffed jeans, and some flats.
They are all easy to get on and off, and if I’m trying on outerwear of any kind, the MUST HAVE shirt always looks good under them.
Must Have Shirt HERE
MUST HAVE cuffed jeans, sold out (hopefully the light color will get restocked soon!)
Mandarin Michael Kors moccasins HERE
On this day I was also wearing my MK watch (similar HERE), and my sequin bracelets (HERE).
I was carrying my crossbody Rebecca Minkoff bag.
It’s my first crossbody I’ve ever owned, and I LOVE it so SO much!
Mine is sold out, but click HERE for the entire selection of Minkoff bags.
Click HERE for a great selection of cross body bags.
THIS one is great (similar size to mine) and THIS one is too (comes in lots of great colors).
And I absolutely adore THIS one from Kate Spade (the colors seems similar to mine).
Also, my necklace I was wearing above (and am wearing in all of my below pictures too) sold out at Bauble Bar, but I found THIS one at Accessory Concierge that seems to be perfect! It really reminds me of the one that first came out at J Crew, but at $35 it’s a fraction of the price!
{If you missed my MIXING PLAIN WITH FANCY post, click HERE for sure so you can see me mix blingy necklaces with plain ol’ tees!)
First I hit up Anthropologie.
I loved this color in THIS top, but it comes in several colors.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
It’s much shorter in the front than it is in the back so you will probably want to wear a contrasting color tank under it.
Click HERE.
The material is very stretchy, the length was great, and I absolutely adored the pleated detail on the bottom and sides. Do y’all love it as much as I do?
Although it’s long sleeve, it’s quite light. I can even see myself wearing it on summer nights to dinner or a movie.
I thought it looked perfect with my blingy necklace (similar HERE), distressed jeans, and mandarin MK flats.
Click HERE for the top.
For size reference, I’m wearing a SMALL.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the navy and green together, and the lace sleeves are such a cool detail!
It’s quite long, but even though I really liked it long on me, I’m thinking it would be an awesome piece for you tall girls out there!
Again, love it with my blingy necklace (similar HERE) and my MK moccasins (HERE).
Now, before we leave Anthropologie…..GREAT NEWS!!!
THE LATEST MUST HAVE IS NOW ON SALE!!!!!!
(Thanks to @valbergmann on ig for letting me know!)
It has all the bells and whistles of the first MUST HAVE shirt, but it’s different enough to make it special.
It has a double layer (which I’m
totally loving right now), there’s a color combo for everybody (8
choices total!), and it’s oh so flattering,
AND…here’s the most important thing…
IT DOESN’T WRINKLE!
My friend at school (shout out
Nancy!) bought it, wore it on a 5 hour car trip and said there
was, and I quote, “nary a wrinkle” when she got out of the car.
THIS SHIRT PASSED THE SEATBELT TEST!
Nothing gives wrinkles worse than a seatbelt. AND IT EMERGED FROM UNDERNEATH THE SEATBELT (after 5 hours!)WRINKLE FREE!
…………DRUM ROLL PLEASE………..
THE NEW MUST HAVE SHIRT
{cue the applause}
Please take the time to “ooh” and “aah” appropriately.
LOOK HOW FLATTERING IT IS!
THE LENGTH IS GREAT.
I LOVE THE DOUBLE LAYER!
It’s sooooo flattering.
THERE ARE SO MANY COLOR COMBOS TO CHOOSE FROM!
AND LOOK HOW FLATTERING IT IS! 🙂
I’m telling you,
You MUST HAVE THIS SHIRT!
It is just SO easy.
Do you know what I mean?
And did I mention that it’s flattering?
BECAUSE IT IS.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
The x-small fit me too, but I just preferred the fit of the small.
I would suggest that everybody size down 1 size for sure. It definitely runs large.
This is the color combo I fell in love with at Anthro, and it came home with me.
Navy on top, black on the bottom.
I’m a total sucker for the double layer right now!
And I almost hate to say it again, but do you see how flattering it is?
As far as I’m concerned, this shirt is a PERFECT BASIC.
It looks great with my MUST HAVE skinny jeans HERE and my cognac wedge boots HERE!
(necklace sold out, sorry)
Other color choices follow:
Oatmeal on top, mustard on the bottom.
I think this might be the next one that I’m getting. If I wear this shirt 1/2 as much (let’s be real 1/4 as much) as I wear my other MUST HAVE shirt,
then getting 2 is totally justified. And besides my mustard skinny
jeans, I don’t have a lot of this color in my closet. I think I need
some more!
Grey on top, White on the bottom.
(I didn’t notice this in person, but looking at the picture below I’m
worried that the white layer underneath might look a little cheap since
it’s white. Maybe that layer just
needs pressing? Not sure.)
Black on top, Cream on the bottom. Love this one too. A lot.
It’s simple and classic.
Grey on the top, Oxblood on the bottom. So pretty!
I mean REALLY!
I TOTALLY LOVE all of the colors!
And did I mention how flattering it is?
Oh, I did?
Okay.
I’m thinking it will be great with a grey or white tee and colored jeans, or a colored tee and khaki shorts! Or….you get the picture, it will pretty much go with anything.
Click HERE.
Please try to disregard the rest of the outfit.
I was trying to get out the door to beat Friday traffic on the way home (that didn’t happen), and I didn’t want to take the time to style an outfit around the jackets.
Click HERE for both color jackets.
For size reference, I was wearing a medium in both jackets.
Click HERE for the black and white graphic shirt underneath! I was wearing a small.
It appears to be the MUST HAVE jacket’s fraternal twin sister.
I posted the MUST HAVE jacket earlier this week, but since it wasn’t
from Nordstrom, the great majority of you weren’t interested (we are all
spoiled by Nordstrom’s free shipping and amazing return policy). Well,
THIS jacket is now at Nordstrom!
It appears to be the exact same wash as our beloved MUST HAVE, but the
fit just seems to be a bit more generous. A little bit longer maybe,
and not quite as fitted.
SO, those of you that were worried about the length and the close fit, THIS IS YOUR JACKET!
Click HERE for the jacket.
I posted it on facebook yesterday, but I wanted to make sure everybody got a chance to see it.
Some say they are true to size, some say to order 1/2 a size down.
Click HERE for the leopard Sperry’s!
After all of us were lusting over Andi’s watch last week (NOBODY could believe she hopped under that waterfall with it on! HELLO?), I’ve decided that I will probably ask for a
gold MK watch for my birthday.
I love the color and the stitching detail!
What’s your favorite thing I highlighted today?
And make sure you come back on Wednesday for
THE MOST DRAMATIC WOMEN TELL ALL EVER!
And you know what, I’m thinking it actually might be!
I’m ready for all of those girls to give Huhwahn a piece of their minds!!!
One more quick question before you leave…
Last week I asked for input on facebook for when you girls wanted me to talk about wedges.
To be clear, I will NOT be wearing them. You’re welcome.
But I will be highlighting some of my favorites!
What are you thinking…
Late March, Early April, Late April? Early May?
Let me know in the comments!
Mix and Match Mama says
You in the red shirt is absolutely fabulous! I seriously love, love, love that! And Kendra Scott has new neon earrings? I need all of them! I missed not going with you! Don't leave me home next time!! 😉
Sherrie Soos says
Hi Sheaffer ,
You always find such neat things! Love all your ideas and I would live a swimsuit post mid-march if possible. Spring break vacation is first week of April and it would be great to have the suit before that. Thanks for all you do
Tab & Erika says
I loved this post!! You look great in everything!! Some might say it looks as though you've been eating carrots only?? 😉
the4benhams says
Do you have a link to the black and white top under the jean jacket? Love it! Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Oops! Yes! I just added it to the post!!!! Thanks for pointing out the oversight!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Christie says
Sanger Harris, ha. I haven't thought about them in forever.

I bought the shirt in black the first time you talked about it. I'm going to order 2 more right now. You're right when you say it doesn't wrinkle. It's my favorite shirt in my closet right now. Yay for the sale!
Melissa Woycheese says
That shirt is my first anthropologie purchase. So glad it went on sale! Love it!
Katie @ Team Skelley says
I tried the Anthro Must Have shirt on last week and commented here that I did not like that second layer – but I admit that it looks really flattering on you. Maybe this is one of those shirts that when styled, looks fabulous. I will say that it was super comfy. Love the Sperry!
Margot says
I love this post! You look absolutely gorgeous in the pleated anthro top as well as the navy tunic! I am loving those embroidered jeans as well as well as those fabulous Sam Edelman heels. Oh what am I saying, I love it all!
Jill G says
Looking forward to the swimsuit post! My vote is for the end of March. So excited the Anthro must have top is on sale!
Slightly Askew Designs says
Is it weird that my favorite part of this post was the fact that Nancy used the word nary??? hahahaha LOVING all the Anthro tops and the BCBG bracelets are super cute! Maybe because I'm 13 at heart?!?!?! I kind of love the #swag one just because my middle schoolers would think I'm a total dweeb 🙂
Because Shanna Said So says
I want that tapestry cross body!!! So freaking cute and different! Thanks for sharing. And I am dying over all the neon colors KS has out this spring. One of each, please!! 🙂
Sallie says
My favorite part was the mention of Sanger Harris…..cause I'm old enough to be your mother! 🙂
( but yes, what's up with the high waisted jeans…even I know better than that!? )
Anonymous says
I vote for swimsuits mid-march. Love the navy and green tunic. Have Nordstrom gift cards coming for my bday in a few weeks and it is going to be so hard to decide what to get. The wedges are waiting in my cart though and hoping the jeans will come back!

Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
What is up with the high waisted jeans this season? They've looked good on no one in any decade ever. That green scarf is my favorite new wardrobe item. I have to stop wearing it.
shelly says
Am I the only one who loves the nail polish you are wearing?! Color please?
Sheaffer says
Hi Shelly! I have no idea what color it was. It was the last of the bottle and I threw it away! So sorry!!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
April Parrish says
My favorite today are those Vigoss embellished jeans!!! So cool!
I think late April for swimsuits. I definitely will not be ready before then!!! Have a great day!!!
Wendy says
So excited to have snagged the must have Anthro shirt on sale! Always love your shopping with Sheaffer post and can't wait to see what wedges you'll be highlighting on Friday! Can this winter weather please end?!
StacyHudson says
I have the Duet Dohlman from Anthro and I have the same color you tried on….it's a favorite of mine and I'm seriously wanting to snatch it up in another color. LOVE it! I paired it with these pants http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-pants/4123284100014.jsp?cm_sp=Grid-_-4123284100014-_-Large_23 (funny that the model is wearing the shirt!) I'm just WAITING for a little warmer weather in Denver to break them out. And how about the must have jean jacket with them? Why yes, I think I will! Also wanted to share a couple pair of shoes that you MUST try! http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/franco-sarto-amplify-leather-flat/3572710?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Pietra&resultback=578&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_2_A . I have those in both colors. And these are SO comfortable and versatile: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/franco-sarto-salito-bootie-nordstrom-exclusive/3572751?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Saddle&resultback=1466&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_4_A. Size down a 1/2 size in both. Also…swimsuit…probably early April. Was looking online last night and it's surprising how many suits are already selling out in some sizes. 🙁
Meredith says
I love those neon kendra scott earrings!!! SUCH a great idea to wear the must have shirt and jeans to go clothes shopping!
Kelly says
Thank you for all of your hard work, Sheaffer! You made my Monday much better!! I don't care when you do swimsuits, but please highlight some rocking one pieces like Andi had on the Bachelor 🙂
Sabrina says
I want that floral scarf!!!!
Jen B says
LOVE that green and navy anthro tunic!
musingsonmotherhoodmidlife says
Can you do the swimsuit post for early-mid March? I'm going on vacation Spring Break. But can you focus on some underwire suits for us large-chested ladies?
Thanks!
Narci says
That green and navy tunic is SO cute!! I love it!
Meghan says
I have been going back and forth on the "must have shirt for what feels like forever. I finally ordered it today. I think it will be a nice light weight as we transition into spring.
Kim Kauffman says
You annoy me – how can you be so cute in everything?? 🙂 Love that green scarf. I had that one and the black floral in my hand the other day and just ended up getting the black one. Definitely going to go back for it though. I think it will be so cute with the pink jeans (all I can say is I ordered down like they said and they better fit!)!!
