Happy Wednesday, everybody! Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I’m looking forward to a fun day of getting a much needed mani/pedi and then going out to a nice dinner with my boys.
You know, birthdays aren’t nearly as fun as they used to be. However, this year has given me some perspective, and I’m just so grateful to be here. I have a wonderful and loving family, supportive and fun friends, and I’m just feeling incredibly thankful. So, I’m not going to count the candles on the birthday cake, I’m just going to be happy to have another birthday and that I get to celebrate it with some pretty amazing people!!!
Now, on with the post!
Today’s post is a little bit different. I was refusing to wash my hair the other day (this literally never happens. j/k), but I wanted to play around with some outfits… so I decided to put together some flat lays! I grabbed some of my favorite things (both old and new) out of my closet and got to work. And GIRLS….I cannot wait to actually wear these outfits, because DANG THEY’RE CUTE!!!!!
OUTFIT #1: Pinstripe, Bows, Cut Offs, and a Pineapple?!?
LOOK AT THIS BAG. It has a pineapple on it. And it’s DARLING. You probably noticed that it doesn’t have my initials on it. That’s because it’s my sister’s. BUT Y’ALL. LOOK AT IT! I have a bag series coming up with Barrington (you know I’ve loved them for over 3 years now), and they sweetly agreed to send my sister a bag as well. And now I have a serious case of bag envy. So I decided to style an outfit with it before I had to give it to her. Sigh.
My sister and I normally get the Savannah tote (we like the smaller size and the zipper), but she got the St. Anne this time because the blonde leather is now a choice only with the St. Anne. And we thought the blonde leather was gorgeous with this print and these colors. Can you even imagine how many people are going to stop her when she’s carrying this bag? I paired it with this cute blouse you saw a couple of weeks ago (true to size, I have a small) and my $39 denim cut-offs I’ve been raving about (true to size, I have a 27). A handful of quick notes about the pinstripe blouse: 1) It’s still ON SALE! 2) I LOVE this top. I think it has a really cute fit, it covers up a little tummy if you need it to (but it’s boxy), and the neckline and the bows are darling. 3) You can click HERE if you want to see the blouse on me with white jeans.
I’m seriously dying over the bag. Use the code PTMTSAVE10 for 10% OFF your Barrington purchase, and you can use the code TURQUOISE20 for 20% OFF the necklace!
Okay, pineapple bag….now it’s your time to go and be darling with my sister. #go #bedarling 😉

OUTFIT #2: Orange, Turquoise, and Leopard
I love the color palette of this outfit. Orange and turquoise always pair well together, and the leopard just kicks up the sass level a couple of notches (and the clutch is UNDER $50)! For size reference, I have a small in the top (true to size, it’s flowy), a 27 in the jeans (true to size), and the wedges are true to size as well.
The necklace is heavy (which I normally don’t like), but I don’t even care. It makes such a statement that I’m going to just deal. (FYI: I will never buy an uncomfortable shoe, but apparently I will suffer a bit for fashion with a necklace. We all have our limits. Ha!)
Look how cute the ruffled peplum and the ruffled bell sleeves are on this top! The top comes in several colors, including a really pretty green which would also look great with the turquoise and leopard.
If you are looking for a great neutral wedge that’s not too high or too low, look no further. THESE wedges are awesome and true to size.

OUTFIT #3: Basic White Tee, Denim Cut-Offs, and Palms!
So I might have bag envy for my sister’s pineapple bag..but she’s probably going to have some envy of her own for MY BAG as well. I mean, palm trees AND a pink and white monogram. #yesmaam
I thought it looked so cute with just a simple white tee and cut-offs. The tee is a medium (I sized up for a slouchy fit.), the shorts are 27s (true to size), and you need to size up a 1/2 size in the sandals.
And in addition to the bag, CHECK OUT THE SUNGLASSES CASE! It’s so flipping cute and would make a great present for Mother’s Day or graduation!

OUTFIT #4: Chambray, White Denim and Palms
I like to put chambray and white denim together whenever I get a chance. And paired with the palm bag? I mean, STOP. It doesn’t get much cuter.
I wear a medium in the shirt (I often size up in button downs) and a 27 in the white jeans (true to size)

BONUS OUTFIT
Do you remember this flat lay from last week? I gave it the title of “My Summer Uniform”, and I meant it.
tee / tassel necklace / denim shorts / $12 sunglasses /slide sandals / cork clutch c/o Grateful Bags
Well, I decided to wear it yesterday because it was seriously warm. So, now it’s my “Unseasonably Warm Spring Day Uniform” too. 🙂 I’ve had some questions about the shorts and if the cuff rolls down in the wash. They don’t! The cuffs aren’t just tacked up on the sides, they are permanently attached all the way around! WOOHOO!!!!!!
I got several questions about if these precious sandals were comfy. And the answer is YES! They are totally comfy. I didn’t mention this the other day, but I originally ordered my normal 6 1/2 in the sandals. They fit okay, but I turned around and ordered them a 1/2 size up to see what fit better. The 7s arrived yesterday, and I like the fit of the 7s better…so I suggest sizing up 1/2 a size.
And check out my cork clutch! Use the code STMT30 for 30% OFF your cork clutch and/or monograms from Grateful Bags! Thanks for extending the code, Jenny!
Oh, and MY FAVORITE EARRINGS EVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVER are still ON SALE! #getthem #now #imnotevenkidding

Hope y’all enjoyed this post! See you back here on Friday for Friday Favorites!
p.s. My mom’s skincare review that I promised y’all is still coming. There were problems with some specific links on the retailer’s end, so they’ve been working on getting those fixed!
p.p.s. I just got an Anthro e-mail….DRESSES and JUMP SUITS are 25% OFF and they are having FREE SHIP with a $150 purchase!
Remember this DARLING dress? Well, now it’s 25% OFF!!!
The shift shape is my favorite, and I love a buffalo check! For size reference, I’m wearing a petite small in the dress. I’m 5’4″, and it’s definitely short….but I wanted it to be. I would think most people that are at least 5’4″ would prefer the regular sizing. And let’s not overlook that the dress has pockets. BAM.

Happy birthday!!! Have a wonderful day and birthday dinner! Those barrington totes are so cute! Have you wore the bp tassel pom pom sandals from a few post ago much? Are they comfortable?
Sheaffer says
I have worn them, Christina! I wouldn’t call them super comfy (inexpensive and not really any support), but they aren’t uncomfortable if that makes sense! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Patricia says

Rachel says
Hi Shaeffer,
Hope you have a very happy birthday! Do you find the Gibson peplum to be TTS? I’ve been all over the place with sizing tops this season but you and I have a very similar build and your suggestions have always been spot on. It’s much appreciated since items sell out so quickly! The green is calling this Oregon girl’s name. 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Rachel! Yes, it’s true to size! I have a small. It’s oversized, but supposed to be! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Lisa says

Oh I love these outfits! These are right up my ally! I am going to have to get those Steve Madden sandals. Steve never steers me wrong. I bought the Birkenstock in Mayari in the matte fawn color. They are def a must have for the summer! They are so comfortable and dress code appropriate for my office! Win!

Happy Birthday!!! ????
Tara C says
Happiest of Birthdays to you, sweet lady! I was looking at your monogram and it made me curious about your first name. What does the “L” stand for?

Happy belated birthday! I ordered the green agate pendant necklace for a gift I cannot wait to give and within a half hour I received an email that my order had shipped – impressive! I can’t wait to see it in person…although, then I might be upset for not ordering one for myself.
Sheaffer says
I promise you are going to want one. They are GORGEOUS in person!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

Meredith says
The agate necklaces are the perfect gifts for my five besties who are throwing a going away party for me and my husband next month (we are moving to Denver from Dallas after living here for 19 years!). I ordered one in each color! What a deal. : )
Thank you!
Meredith
Jill says
Have you ever tried Tieks ballet flats? I’m debating on getting a pair and wondered if they are really worth the price tag. 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hey, Jill! I actually have two different pairs that the company sent me….and I don’t love them! I prefer the Sam Edelman Felicia flats, and they are 1/3 of the price! I hear the Tieks flats are great for people that have problem feet, but I don’t. I love my Felicia flats!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
