You guys loved it, and you all wanted it.
SO…
Sad face.
Sad face. Again.
Second verse, same as the first.
SO.
It’s now time for Step 1.
Go ahead and FREAK OUT.
(Just fyi, if you have been KICKING YOURSELF for not getting this jacket before, you might want to just go ahead and scroll down to Step 2.)
It’s not bulky at all.
The drawstring waist is awesome.
So…I know what you’re thinking.
I like it, but would I really be able to wear it with that many things?
Um, yeah lady…..yeah you would.
This first picture is the latest time I wore it that is just now making it to the blog. This is the first time I had worn it buttoned up and tied at the waist, and I loved it this way too!
(If you are interested in my t-shirt in the picture below, you totally should be. Find it HERE. It is sooooo soft, has the cutest fit, looks great on it’s own, but is great for layering also. AND OH MY WORD…I JUST SAW IT’S ON SALE FOR $19.99!)
For size reference, my jacket is a small.
And look how awesome the back is.
Military Jacket HERE
Tee HERE that I LOOOOVVVVEEEE ($19.99!)
MUST HAVE jeans HERE
Hunter Boots, my color sold out, but other colors HERE
and a grey or black t-shirt.
And I was okay with that because I loved the jacket so much.
BUT BOY WAS I WRONG!
Look how cute it is when paired with RED!
Here I am in my long grey target tank (found HERE), my long Anthropologie t-shirt (sold out, sorry), my MUST HAVE LEGGINGS (found HERE) and Hunter Boots (found HERE).
And here’s another look!
With my MUST HAVE leggings HERE, my long sleeve grey tee is sold out but you can find a similar one HERE for under $25!, and my cognac wedge boots HERE that are still 40% off!
Super cute, right?
Here it is with the basic black shirt and jeans look (the look I initially thought was the only look that would work with it), just jazzed up a bit with the necklace.
I threw it on with my MUST HAVE shirt HERE, my MUST HAVE jeans HERE (non-distressed version), my Kimberly Necklace HERE, and my TOMS wedges HERE.
And look how FAB it is with a grey tee HERE for under $25, my mustard skinny jeans (sold out, and can’t find any good options) and my cognac wedge boots HERE (40% off!).
I would love this jacket even if the back were just plain.
Which just makes me love it more .
And apparently, it makes me want to wear it once a week.
It is such an AWESOME jacket, and I’m soooo glad I have it in my closet!
You will be too!
So, you see?
I mean, COME ON!
Are you DYING at the versatility?!?
(Okay. SUPER annoyed with myself. There’s a typo in the collage…”Jackets” is plural, but it should be singular. Oh well, I’m not changing it.)
If you already successfully completed the FREAKING OUT phase,
it’s time for Step 2!
STEP 2:
ORDER THE JACKET!
Click HERE.
Seriously, don’t miss out on this jacket again.
(Again, for size reference, my jacket is a small.)
And just because I feel like all of you need to know this asap, I got a new pair of shoes with some Christmas money!
Click HERE for the Converse that I just ordered for myself.
Make sure you order a 1/2 size down.
I’m a 6-6 1/2 depending on the shoe, and I ordered a 5 1/2 in these!
And you’re not going to believe this (except that you totally will), I already have 3 outfits pinned to recreate. One of the first outfits I’m going to recreate is going to be this one.
Light colored jeans, a white tee, my military jacket, and my converse HERE.
So simple.
SOOO cute!
So easy.
Sooooooooooooo Stylish!

The Converse. The Converse. The Converse. I'm buying some. Right now. Love. XOXO
April Parrish says
Love the military jacket…it's so unique!
I can't wait to see what you pair with your converses. That's definitely gonna take some convincing! 🙂
Melissa says
That jacket is to die for. I scored it months ago after seeing a friend post a pic on her FB page. Took me FOREVER to find it. Listen to Sheaffer…buy it, people. You won't regret it.
SarahN says
I love my grey converse! I'm so excited I actually already own something you will be styling soon – means my bank account can rest a little 🙂 although that military jacket is screaming at me to buy it, I must be strong! 🙂
Amanda C says
OMG!!! That jacket is on its way to me!! Thanks for posting!

This jacket is my favorite thing in my closet by far. Every single time I wear it I get compliments. I bought it the first time you posted it from Milk and Honey, and after I bought it my mom bought it. My sister has always been so jealous because it sold out and she dies every single time we wear ours. I'm calling her right now to make sure she's seen this post!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
Happy New Year, my friend! Let me just say that jacket with those mustard jeans is SO perfect!
Teri says
Love the Converse shoes! Do you think there is an age limit for wearing them or can a 40++ year old pull it off? I don't want to look like a dork 🙂
Samantha says
Great call on the Converse, I have a black pair that I just adore. Can't wait to see how you wear yours.
Shawnee says
I have red and pink Converse that I never wear but I'm really wanting a white pair and look at them all the time when I go shopping. Can't wait to see what you wear yours with!!
Lindsay says
It's raining and COLD here in the NorthEast today and usually that would make me bummed BUT this year I got a new pair of Hunters for Christmas so guess who is HAPPY that it's raining?!! I got the Aubergine Purple ones that you mentioned were on sale and they are such a cute color of purple..just a little pop of color to chase the winter blues!! Thanks for all your suggestions.
Genn says
Hi Sheaffer, I am just loving your fun blog!!
I bought the military jacket from BP after seeing how many fun ways you styled yours. And now I would totally buy a second one except I recently bought too many fun things after you shared them here, like the Hue leggings, must have Vigoss jeans, striped zipper tee from the Loft, and most recently the blardigan in cocoa! Thanks for sharing your great finds with us all!!
Minicoops says
I WANT THAT JACKET!! I have a fabulous pair of white and "tiffany blue" converse….I LOVE THEM!
Meg Walker says
I love converse! I own both a white and grey pair and I wear them ALL THE TIME!!! By the way, Teri, I am 46 and my kids say I still look "cool" when I wear them.
Teri says
Awesome! I'm 47 — gotta be cool!
smk053078 says
OH yeah!! This one is gonna sell out again because of you!! 🙂 I REALLY do want it, but trying to say no to another utility jacket….I just cleaned my closet and told myself no more long sleeve pieces until next winter, but this is soooo tempting!!
Kim says
I love all your outfits. Gives me great ideas.. Your blog is so freaking great. Thanks..
Merrie K. says
I don't believe that you "don't know anything about fashion"…all those looks with the jacket are super cute! 🙂 I've been looking for one forever now, so I'll have to check that one out.

Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
I have 3 or 4 pairs of Converse and I love them. LOVE THEM! They are one of my favorite shoes of all time, and mine have lasted forever. Good call getting yourself a pair.
Kim Kauffman says
You look SO cute in all of your jacket pictures! Wish I could have gotten it but with the new house it's been a speedy month! Boo! But I had a gift card so I finally ordered the must have leggings and the cream fringe scarf (so sad the gray is out of stock). I wear my teal one all the time so I know I will do the same with the cream. Can't wait to get my order! I have got to get that blardigan to wear with them. Hope you have a good Monday 🙂
