Style It Again, Sheaffer: Spring Favorites

Today we’ve got another Style it Again, Sheaffer post!  I started this series several months ago, and it’s been a big hit with y’all!   Everybody really likes seeing one piece in multiple outfits so you can learn how to style clothes you already have.  After all, that’s how we all dress!  We wear things again and again.  And again. #andthenagain

And then we throw them over the chair and wear them yet again.  Or maybe that’s just me.  😉

I have several pieces that I’m going to be showing you today, pieces that you’ve already seen on the blog at least once, and today I’m going to style them at least 1 additional way!  Let’s get started!

STYLE IT AGAIN:  A LITTLE BLACK DRESS

I first showed you this dress styled casually with wedges, but here it’s dressed with some bright pink heels and earrings.

The dress is a fabulous stretch cotton, and the ruffle details on the sleeves and the skirt are so feminine, fun, and flirty!  It has a great fit that is incredibly flattering, yet it’s incredibly comfortable to wear.  (My goodness this dress makes me say a lot of “f” words”:  feminine, fun, flirty, and flattering!) It’s very similar to the LOFT dress that I showed a couple of weeks ago (click HERE to see me in the LOFT dress), but this is the dress that I ended up keeping.  I felt the material was a bit easier to style both up and down. I went with a 6 in this dress.

Here’s a reminder of how I styled the dress the first time you saw it…

And yes, I bought the must have wedges in black too.  BECAUSE THEY ARE IN FACT MUST HAVES.  😉  True to size.

STYLE IT AGAIN:  HIGH-WAISTED BELTED SHORTS

Once again, when I first showed you these shorts, they were styled much more casually (with a tee and slides).  Here I styled them with a striped and fitted tank, some gold jewelry, a clutch, and my black must have wedges for a dressier look.

These belted shorts are without a doubt a new favorite.  I love the tailored look and the belted waist.  The waist is higher than my normal shorts, and that paired with the tie helps them create the look of a really tiny waistline.  #SIGNMEUP  And they come in khaki too!

I’m wearing my regular size 4s here, but I think they run a little large.  The 2 reviewers said that as well (but they both still gave 5 STARS), so I want to try the 2s.

And if you follow me on instagram or facebook, you saw yet another way I styled them this past weekend at a blogger conference.  Click HERE to see!  I wore this particular outfit on conference arrival day, and it was one of my favorite outfits of the entire weekend.

STYLE IT AGAIN:  MY NEW FAVORITE SWEATER

Okay, girls.  I think you can say I’m officially obsessed with this sweater (and it’s 40% OFF RIGHT NOW with the code BFFS).  You’re going to get a full recap of my conference outfits soon (look for it either Friday or next Monday!), and I wore this sweater two nights out to dinner and on the car ride home.  Seriously.  It’s just so easy to throw on and still look effortlessly put together.  I sized up to a medium in the sweater for a slouchy fit.  It also comes in black and cream.

This is how I wore it on a trip to the mall last week, with my favorite AG denim and a pair of pointy toed cognac flats.

Here’s a reminder of how I styled the sweater the first several times you saw it…

I’m wearing it with my favorite denim shorts in this outfit, and you can click HERE for my denim shorts review last week where I review 3 pairs, including a much longer pair.  You can also hop over to instatories (my ig handle is @sheaffertoldmeto) if you want to see videos of my reviews on my Instatories highlight reel!

I’m wearing my regular 27s in these, but the 26s fit too, so I suggest sizing down if between sizes.

And here it is with the shorts I originally got it to go with. ?  I had NO IDEA when I bought it that I was going to become obsessed with it.  #butihave

I sized up to a medium in the sweater for a relaxed fit, I’m wearing my regular size 4 in the shorts (if between sizes, go down), and I suggest going up a 1/2 size in the sandals.

The sweater and the shorts are on sale…actually, pretty much everything is 40% OFF at LOFT today!

And you saw the sweater just last week with my favorite white jeans and must have denim jacket.

STYLE IT AGAIN:  LIGHT WASH JEANS

These next two outfits actually contain a new pair of jeans, but since I’ve already worn them twice, I thought I would show you both times today in this Style It Again post.

Mott and Bow (they manufacture premium grade denim for reasonable prices!) reached out to see if I would like to try a pair of their jeans.  I took a look the website, and knew exactly the pair I wanted to try.  I chose this light wash pair (because I didn’t have anything like them in my closet), and I was so excited to receive them early last week.

I opened the jeans, I loved them, and I wore them the next 2/3 days.

I styled them again basically the same way the 2nd day I wore them, but it was a little cooler, so I threw on a military jacket (and switched out the beach tee for a graphic tee).

I adore the light wash of these (although they come in other washes t00) and think they are perfect for Spring and Summer.  Concerning fit, I’m wearing my regular size 27s (28″ inseam), and they are ALL SORTS of comfy.  They are super soft and fit similarly to a jegging, BUT THEY ARE A REAL JEAN.  A real jean with a zipper and a button and everything you need in a pair of pants.  😉  And even though they feel similar to a jegging, THE LOOK LIKE A REAL JEAN.  I wouldn’t hesitate to do a full tuck with a shirt or even wear a short top.  (Just to be clear, I’m not talking about a crop top…I’m just saying I don’t find it necessary to wear a long shirt with these jeans.)  #justsoweareclear 😉

Here’s a close up of all angles.

AND GREAT NEWS!  Not only is shipping free, but they send you a prepaid return label, so returns are free also!

STYLE IT AGAIN:  RUCHED DRESS

I showed you this dress in the pretty persimmon color on Friday….but instead of styling it differently today, I thought I would just show you a couple of other color options of the dress, all styled the same.  If you are considering the dress, it might help you decide what color you like the best for yourself. (They only had the persimmon in my size in store, and I wanted to try a couple of different colors before deciding on which color I wanted to keep.)

I ordered the heathered army green and the classic black.  I actually loved all colors, but I’m still really drawn to the persimmon color, so I’m keeping it for sure.  But I’m also considering keeping the black.  It seems like a great basic to have.  It comes in a ton of great colors, so go check them all out!

The fabric is soft and comfortable, and the draping and ruched sides make it very flattering.  I personally won’t wear this dress without a denim jacket (and maybe a military jacket!), but you know I love pairing my denim jacket with just about everything.  I settled on this really pretty persimmon color, but it really does come in a ton of great colors.  I went with a medium in this ruched tank dress, and I’m glad I did.  I often times have to size up in dresses (to accommodate my rib cage and boobs), so a medium in a dress is actually true to size for me for dresses.

It also comes in a long sleeve version HERE.

So here it is in the heathered green color.

And here’s the classic black!  This is such a great dress for a date night or a girl’s night out!

And here again, this gorgeous persimmon color you first saw on Friday.  After I first posted this picture, I got a couple of questions about what underwear I wear with this dress.  MY NEW UNDIES leave absolutely no panty line.  NOT EVEN A TRACE OF ONE.  I’m telling you, they are awesome.

Here are 3 colors side by side.  Which is your favorite?
