So if y’all remember back in March, I introduced to you to what I believed were the BEST WHITE JEANS EVER. I still think so by the way. The jeans were from Wit and Wisdom, and what made them extra amazing was the”ab-solution” technology. When I first ordered them, I didn’t know what “ab-solution technology” was. But now I do. It’s technology that sucks you in, makes you look skinnier than you already are 😉 , and here’s the kicker…. still allows you to breathe. Now, that’s my kind of technology. When Nordstrom asked me to do a 2 part series, simply talking about things that I was excited about from their store, I knew these jeans were what I was going to feature in Part I. You’ll get to see Part II on Friday when I do my Santa Alerts from the Anniversary Sale!
So anyway, when I saw that they had a pair of black jeans in the sale (with the same technology as my white ones), you know I had to give them a try. And I’m so glad I did!

So let’s talk in depth about THE JEANS. Like I mentioned previously, I fell in love with the brand back in the spring when I ordered THESE white jeans for myself. I was totally impressed with them and was a huge fan of the way they fit. Let’s be honest, if it makes me look skinnier, I’m going to love it. Now, here’s what I wasn’t expecting about the white jeans. I thought EVERYBODY AND THEIR DOG was going to love them. But that wasn’t the case. They were polarizing. People either loved or hated the fit. But the people that love it? Well, they realllllllllllllllly love it. Like they order one pair of jeans, fall in love, and then order the grey pair, the denim pair, and the boot cut pair. For real. Don’t worry, I’m not naming any names here. #holly 😉
I’m wearing the 27 (4), so I think they are true to size. The tag is still on them in the picture because I was trying to decide if I needed to size up (they were very snug when I first put them on)….but they have so much stretch in them, that I decided to keep the 4 (in case they stretch with multiple wears). Click HERE for the black jeans.
So, for those of you that are OBSESSED, here are all the Wit and Wisdom jeans available in the anniversary sale. And here’s something that’s hard to believe: they all appear to be FULLY STOCKED! Yep, these jeans appear to be the best kept secret in the Anniversary Sale. Well, today I’m spilling the beans.
AND THEY ARE ALL ONLY $44.90!
So, Holly (who I mentioned before) is my neighbor’s good friend. Holly and I have become friends this year too, and last weekend when hanging out at Heather’s house, Holly went on and on about the Wit and Wisdom jeans. I’m telling you, the girl ADORES them. So, I messaged her and asked her to send me a little testimonial. Here’s what she had to say: After receiving my black Wit and Wisdoms, I tried them on and fell in love. I couldn’t believe how comfortable and soft these skinny jeans are. They have the perfect amount of stretch in the fabric and the color is a dark, rich black. The Ab-Solution waist is heavenly. It gives such incredible support. Immediately after I tried these jeans on, I hopped on Nordstrom’s website and ordered the grey in the same fit. I also purchased the Itty-Bitty Bootcut in both black and dark indigo. I am so pleased with these as well! I am a fan!
Now, if neither Holly nor myself can convince you that you need to try them, then head over to my facebook page and read the 40 (last count as of 10:45 last night) comments from some readers!
Just click on the pair you are interested in, or you can click HERE for all W&W jeans in the sale:
So my outfit above is the perfect early fall outfit: short sleeves, jeans, and flats. But I wanted a chance to show you my $35 sweater for the anniversary sale, so I threw it on too. Sadly, it’s sold out. #sayitaintso #DANGTHEANNIVERSARYSALESTOCK
I do have another grey sweater options for you below, but let’s take a second to pay special attention to the bag. First of all, the $35 price tag has me doing back flips. It comes in several other colors (black, oxblood, and cognac), but I’m really loving how the light taupe color is adding a bright punch to the dark fall and winter outfits I’ve been styling it with!

And finally, because I know a ton of you have the nude Sam Edelman flats (included in the SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MUST HAVE post back in April), I wanted to show you how the bag matches perfectly with the flats! I’m not usually concerned with things matching at all (you know I love to mix black and brown), but I thought these looked really nice together.
That’s it for my jeans testimonial today, but before you go, I want you to get excited about Friday where I’ll be highlighting all of my SANTA ALERTS from the Anniversary Sale. (If you’re new to the blog, “SANTA ALERTS” are for items that I think would make an awesome gift.) THESE EARRINGS are the perfect example of a Santa Alert. They are in my personal Top 5 favorite items from the sale, and I really can’t think of one lady in my life that wouldn’t love them! I went with the brown mother of pearl earrings for myself, which are just a gorgeous golden color! I had planned on getting them for my mom for Christmas, but when she couldn’t stop complimenting me on them when she saw me this weekend, I went ahead and got her a pair…and gave them to her. I just couldn’t make her wait for them! 🙂
Anyway, on Friday you will get a comprehensive Santa Alerts post. But today, you can click HERE for the earrings below and click HERE for all the Kendra Scott items still available in the anniversary sale. I truly do love all the pieces and all the colors. And you know what else I love? Crossing Christmas gifts off the shopping list.
That’s it for today, girls! Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post, and I’ll see you back here on Wednesday for The Bachelorette Finale!
Amy says
No “Bachelorette: The Men Tell All” review? I’m crying with sadness….So. Many. Things. To. Say. 🙁 🙂
Erika Slaughter says
I’ve never heard of that special technology before but I want some in mice STAT!!
Sheaffer says
I lol’d that you want it in mice!!!!! Ha! I know you meant “mine”, but thinking about this technology in mice made me giggle. 😉
Shay Shull says
Those jeans are so cute on you!! Why don’t I have any?!
Christina says
The jeans look great on you! I bought my first Kendra Scott earrings in the abalone and loooove them! I can’t wait to get more colors now! And a necklace. And the bracelet. ????
Narci says
Those Kendra Scott earrings are soooo pretty!! I love!
Mary says
So I saw your facebook post last night. After reading about 1/2 of the comments, I clicked over and bought 4 pairs. I got the black, the grey, one pair of boot cut, and the dark wash. I got 4 pair and paid less than I do for my designer jeans!
Leigh says
Your tempting me to try these jeans! FYI-the link for this morning’s post on Bloglovin takes me to a post on Santa Alerts for 2014!
Meg Mixter says
Thanks to your amazing coverage of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last year and my love for all the items I ordered that you recommended, I had been looking forward to this years sale well… all year! I ordered the dark skinny wit & wisdom jeans and the bootcut and OMG! Let me just tell you I am 29 weeks pregnant and on the curvier side and these fit like a dream! Of course I have to leave them unbuttoned but they almost feel like I am wearing pajamas all day. I am about to order the black and grey as well. If anyone is on the fence about these JUST DO IT! I am anxiously checking all day every day for restock on several other items that I missed out on or want more colors in. The stock is definitely a disappointment this year but all of the Nordstrom staff have been amazingly helpful as usual!
Darcy Sexson says
These are the BEST jeans!!!! I bought the black….then the gray….then the denim! Lol. The only not so great thing was I washed the black pair with hot water (instead of cold, dang it) and they faded quite a bit. I also live that they fit a bigger frame (I wear a 16) snugly, aren’t tight and are still flattering. Not sure how they do that, but I love it! 🙂
denise says
The Wit & Wisdom girlfriend jeans (I have two pairs!) have been on repeat for me all summer! I love the fit, color, distressing…everything! But I got the itty bitty bootcut ones during the sale and they are a mile too long for me. I love the fit and color but I’d have to cut off probably 5″ of fabric to make them an acceptable length and I’m pretty sure that would mess up the line of the bootcut. I’m 5’4″ and usually I can get away with regular length jeans. I checked and they don’t have a petite in these…such a bummer.
Jessica says
I really, really, REALLY, need to back away from your blog. I have ordered no less then 3 times for the anniversary sale just because of our recommendations.
Really though, I cannot wait to try these jeans. I would love some tummy help, two kids in 3 years will do a number on a girl.
Thanks for all the awesome ideas. I’m so thrilled I’ve found you!
Missy@My Sh!tty Kitchen says
Oh I may have to scoop those up! They look great!
Tara C. says
Sheaffer, you have made me a happy woman!!!! I took your advice and purchased the Natori t-shirt bra, and it has literally changed my life! I admit that I had little hope that it would work for me. I thought, “Sure, it is comfortable for smaller sizes, but nothing is comfortable for us big busted women.” I wear a 38DDD and have never found a bra that was even half-way comfortable. The Natori bra is almost like not wearing a bra at all. Thank you so much for recommending it. Now, I’m just totally sad that the 38DDD size is not even listed on the site anymore.
becca says
Hey Sheaffer ! have you tried the Caslon®
Relaxed Slub Knit U-Neck Tee (Regular & Petite) by chance? I ordered three and the fit great and have a super soft feel to them. Just curious, as the care instructions say to dry flat….I’m not the greatest at. Just curious if you have any and if you have had any luck drying them. Thanks!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Becca! I have three of them! I wash them, dry them for like 10 minutes and then hang them to dry. It works well for me! Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Leslie J. says
I’m SOLD on bras, panties and the Blardigan! Vanassa is my new BFF! I spent about 2 hours with her on Saturday (in YOUR dressing room, she informed me!) getting 5 new bras (2 Pure Luxe; thank you very much), Bliss panties and the ombre Blardigan (black/gray) that she found which had been purchased online then returned (Yes on Anniversary Sale…cha ching). I love them all and thank you for finding these awesome buys. You are the best! BTW I get to meet Joanna (yes, Gaines) on Wednesday! I will try to get a pic!
Shawnee says
I swore I wasn’t going to order anything else and then I see your post this morning!!! LOL I’ve already placed 4 orders and loved everything I’ve gotten so far!! I love the Natori panties and pretty sure I NEED to order more of them.
cassie {hi sugarplum} says
I mean, I don’t think I remember much of what you said in this post, because I was so busy oogling your bum the whole time!! Those jeans do something for you, and yes, buy them in every single color and style!! I have the white ones, and agree…they are stellar!!
Diana says
I trusted you with the Vigoss jeans, so I am gonna trust you here and just ordered some! Thank you!
Carol says
Boohoo….i SO DISAGREE about the black Wit and Wisdom.jeans which i bought cause i so LOVED my white ones.
The blavk ones fit like a “jegging” (!!)—judt grabs me at my non athletic..calves. i was so shocked at the fit i ran to put on my white ones in fear i might have gained weight…..twas not to be..WHEW.
I put the black up against the white…the leg from knee down is significantly smaller (in a size 10), one size up is to large.
I .WAS.SO.BUMMED.
very sad face
🙁
cheryl nessmann says
Purchased a grey and black pair of the wit and wisdom jeans. I did take them back. The black pair was more of a pant than a jean. I felt there was a sheen to both colors. Otherwise the fit was great. True to size also.
Ashley says
Love those jeans SO much! I happened upon them by accident and after receiving the indigo, I bought the black, gray and lighter blue! I’m a 10/hourglass figure and they are perfection!!!
Jessica says
Oh my god! The wit & wisdom jeans….. I am so in love 🙂 The first of two pairs I ordered just arrived and they are fantastic!!!!
The grey Calson jeans…,, where have they been all my life?
Off to the tailors to make them short person friendly!
