It’s going to be full of awesome tops that are appropriate for our favorite leggings.
Today you get a sneak peak of quite possibly THE BEST THING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD TO PAIR WITH YOUR LEGGINGS.
Seriously.
And I don’t think I’m over selling it.
Actually, we are going to call it THE BABY BLARDIGAN.
I would like to point out that somebody should probably go ahead and tell the model that she needs to cover her crotchal area if she plans on leaving the house.

Shay actually named it.
If you remember, Shay was the first person that I introduced the original blardigan to
the day I found it back in 2013.
We were sitting in the mall food court, and she cuddled it like a toddler.
#shehadnoshame
Over tacos last week (2 years later), while sitting in the same mall food court, she named this new phenomenon the BABY BLARDIGAN.
So, BABY BLARDIGAN IT IS.
Here it is with a tunic tee and leggings.
I MEAN.
STOP IT.
IT’S PERFECTION!!!!!
Tell me you don’t want to cuddle up with me
It’s oh soooo soft, it is flattering (I love the way it drapes), it’s less material than the blardigan (so I think it can be worn out of the house a bit easier), AND IT HAS POCKETS.
Seriously.
STOP.
POCKETS PEOPLE!
Let’s just put it out there, that yes…it’s expensive.
It’s very expensive. ($116)
But here’s what I think is going to happen.
Those of you that already have the blardigan (and LOVE the blardigan) are barely going to bat an eye at the price tag.
Because you know that you are going to get your money’s worth. Probably in the first month.
You know that it will bring you warmth.
And happiness.
And the fact that it looks like it was made to wear out of the house will just make you pull your credit cards right out of your wallets.
If you travel a lot, you HAVE to treat yourself to this.
But heck…even if you don’t travel at all, if you just like to be cozy (like really like to be cozy), then you have to have it.
Those of you that don’t have a blardigan yet might scoff at us for spending so much.
But here’s the deal. We won’t care. 🙂
We’ll just be cuddled up in our baby blardigans with huge dopey smiles on our faces. 😉
And let me just put this out there. I have no idea what the stock is like on these. I know they only had 2 black ones at Stonebriar, so I fear that they aren’t stocked as well as the blardigans (both in store and online). I’m crossing my fingers that they don’t sell out quickly!
So here are the details on the entire outfit:
TELL ME THIS OUTFIT ISN’T YUMMY.
#that’sright
#youcan’t
And for those of you that have been hesitant to wear the original blardigan out of the house (thinking it’s too robe like), THIS BABY VERSION IS FOR YOU!
And here’s a side and back view for you.
I love how it drapes, and you can see that it’s plenty long in the back to wear with leggings.
And just in case you wanted a better look at the tee without the baby blardigan over it.
Click HERE for the tee (that also comes in olive and beige).
Again, I got a medium for the extra length and room! I didn’t want it to be fitted at all!
UPDATE: THIS TEE DOES NOT WASH WELL AT ALL AND TOTALLY SHRINKS! IF YOU AREN’T WILLING TO DRY CLEAN, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GETTING IT!!!
And when I was at Nordstrom last week, I popped in to see if they had them in store. Stonebriar only had 2 in stock, but I was able to try the black on, so I was excited! They didn’t have any taupe in stock at all.
As you can see, it looks great with jeans too!

grey swing tee / necklace / similar white skinny jeans / leopard belt
For size reference: I’m wearing a small in the tee and an x-small/small in the baby blardigan.
And as long as we are fully aboard the blardigan train, let’s go ahead and talk about the
blardigan pants.
I guess we can call them Blants. (Blanket + Pants = Blants)
I don’t love the name, so feel free to suggest other options.
I’m wearing an x-small in the pants in “warm grey”.
Carter is DYING to have a pair of his own.
Click HERE for the blants.
My tee I’m wearing is sold out. Sorry! 🙁
That’s it for today girls!

Some Vigoss just went on sale!
Limited sizes left on the ones on the left, but maybe you’ll get lucky!
my pajama jeans (buy one size down) / destroyed flares / destroyed dark wash skinnies
p.p.s.
I’ve received 4 separate e-mails from readers that have already received THESE boots and are in love! The general consensus is that they look much more expensive than
they are and that they are HOT!

Diana says
You just made my day!!That BABY BLARDIGAN. …oh my, I AM IN LOVE. Your outfit with the gray BB and rust colored tee is simply perfection!
Charming Lucy says
I have the blardigan in my cart to buy for Christmas. I keep hesitating because it just seemed a little long. This is the perfect solution!! I am getting tow – one for my daughter and one for me! Thanks! Susan
Erika Slaughter says
The baby blardigan?? Wait-Apple needs to get a clue. It keeps changing "blardigan" to "boarding an". What?? How often do I ever type "boarding an"? #getaclueiphone
Mix and Match Mama says
Sheaffer! I just cannot get over how friggin' fabulous the Baby Blardigan is! It's pretty much perfect friend. I can't wait to order mine :). Love!!
Narci says
The Baby Blardigan and Blants are the most amazing things…well since the Blardigan. So soft!! Eek–can't wait to get them in my closet. ❤️

Casey says
Curious how this washes?? Can you dry it?
Sheaffer says
Hi Casey! I wash and dry my original blardigan, so I plan to do the same with this. Sometimes I take it out of the dryer after about 10 minute and hang it to dry the rest of the way. Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Casey says
Thanks, Sheaffer! Buying one now!
Lisa says
$100 in Nordstrom notes GONE! Baby Blardigan coming my way…
April Parrish says
Seriously so excited for this BABY BLARDIGAN!!!! You are exactly right that some are sitting at home thinking we are crazy because they just don't understand the AWESOMENESS of the BLARDIGAN!!!! I love mine…it is the first thing I put on when I get home in the evenings and I grab it first thing when my feet hit the floor in the morning!!! Barefoot Dreams should totally have you on the payroll!!! So cute that Carter wants a pair of pants for himself…my youngest daughter Bailey loves the blardigan and wants one for herself! I ordered 2 of the striped blardigans during the anniversary sale for Christmas gifts, but I'm not so sure I can part with them…is that crazy???
Great post! Have a blessed day!!!
Karen Gordon says
You merely mentioned this the other day and I bought it that minute! It is every bit as wonderful as I thought it would be! Definitely going to be in heavy rotation this fall and winter! LOVE!!
Lisa Rockwell says
The Baby Blardigan outfit is so adorable, love the tunic!
Helen Truesdale says
Love the baby blardigan! Question about the tunic tee with leggings…does it cover your backside when you don't have the blardigan on?
Thanks for posting so many great outfit options!
Sheaffer says
Hi Helen! It's definitely long enough!!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Jenib says
The Burnt Orange shirt is sold out in several sizes (mine, of course). I hope they re-stock!
Jenib says
The orange tunic is sold out 🙁 . I hope they re-stock!

Cute! Perfect for Fall!

thoughts on plankets
Sheaffer says
I'm laughing so hard! So pants+blankets=plankets?
Ashley Kent says
I bit the bullet and purchased an original Blardigan a few months ago. I do love it; however, I never wear it out because I'm very petite (5' 0", 97lbs) and I find the sleeves too long, and I don't really "fill it out".
Would you say the baby Blardigan sleeves are approximately the same length? I see the bottm length is definitely different.
Hubby and I are taking a weekend getaway trip to Huston in December. This would be perfect for the plane of it fits. 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi Ashley! I would say that the sleeves are maybe not quite as long!
Ashley Kent says
Awesome! I guess I can always take advantage of Nordstrom's fantastic return policy.
Meagan @ The Clanahan Fam says
Dang it, Sheaffer. You got me again. I've been looking at that BB all morning and finally had to hit purchase. I'll justify it later somehow but I can totally see myself wearing it all winter. Who am I kidding? Probably all spring/summer/fall, too. Do you ever get emails from irate husbands? haha!
Susie says

I like that Susie!!!!!!! 🙂
Annalyn says
I have your ombré blardigan as well the taupe ( bigger size for when I was pregnant ) in hopes of not 'overdoing' my blardigan ownership- cause of course I'd want to wear all of them-which color in this one would you say I shld consider? Just wondered your thoughts on having things that are SO similar in color/style? Do you find that one sits unused more than another if you have duplicates? Thanks!!
Kim Kauffman says
Oh I bet that baby blardigan is soooo cozy. I'll have to pass on that, but I'm definitely ordering one of the tunics you have on. I think I need a small because of my lack of boobage, but I hope it's not too small/short in the rest of it. We shall see!
Beth says
Sheaffer – If you had a choice between a blardigan and a baby blardigan, which would you choose? I'm considering exchanging my unworn blardigan for the b.b. Since I've never worn either, I'm not sure. Also, I'm 5'2" and 100 lbs., if that helps.
Aja says
I ordered a blardigan and returned it because I knew I would never wear it out of the house. Too much fabric. But the BB just arrived and it's definitely home and public appropriate with a much better fit, IMO.
c.k. @ 50 days of no grey says
Nordstrom is now in Vancouver, so I guess I will have to get myself a baby blardigan!! Yay!!
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
Resistance is futile…I might as well not waste these precious months I could be wearing it, while trying to pretend I won't cave…and just get it now.

I say the pants should be called Blammies. Blanket jammies. -Heidi
The Rohman Family says
Ridiculous. Love the BB.
Katie M says
Super cute! I am a recent blardigan owner…and have since purchased for my mom and sister for Christmas gifts…this looks amazing! I got my grey leggings in the mail today and they do not disappoint! I was so excited to see them on my porch after work that I tried them on immediately and am still wearing them! I think the tag is still on! Lol! Can't wait for the tunic post!!!!
MadCity says
Oh my goodness, a baby blardigan! I have 3 of the mama size but I need a new black cardigan so I think I can justify the purchase! (of course I can!) I still love the Frieda necklace but I would love it in silver! Can you ask our friends at AC to see what they can do?
ccbirm says
Question about the leggings actually- is the color you're wearing the 'graphite heather' color?? I too am hoping that they will restock the orange color in the t-shirt as well. Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! Yes, my leggings are the "graphite heather"! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
ccbirm says
Thanks Sheaffer! Also, FYI right now the orange color in the tee is back in small and the waitlist is open for the other sizes. I just added my name onto the medium list!
Ashley Van Dam says
Went to buy the original blardigan online and the models are wearing it with just a bra and underwear. Hoping that attire alone isnt essential to the outfit! Might not go over well at the Thanksgiving table…but I can try! (sorry Grandma..) 😉
Amber Reese says
I love the look of the Baby Blardigan but just don't think I can justify the price. Hopefully I can catch a sale one day! I got my gray leggings in this week and they are wonderful! Plenty long for me and I am 5'6". If Waco would get just a wee bit cooler then I could wear them!!
Anonymous says
Decided waiting to buy it was dumb, I am so happy thinking about the arrival! Please post if you notice the t-shirt you were wearing is restocked. That color is sold out in my size 🙁
Great job as usual!
Thanks,
Lisa G., McKinney, TX
Lisa B says
Sheaffer after owning the swing tee from Loft now for a couple of weeks I think you need to make it a must have. It goes with everything you put on!!!
Mom to 4 J's says
I bought the black baby blardigan and the green tunic. Can't wait!!!!

Did you know that if you search "blardigan" on nordstrom's website, the original comes up?! That's awesome!!
Carrie {Living It Up in U.P.} says
Serious question – what about leggings that ARE pants? I usually wear Zella yoga pants as leggings and don't always cover my crotchal area (but cover my bum with a cardigan like the model).
Sheaffer says
Hi Carrie! I think yoga pants are totally different. My work out tops don't cover my front either, so are good! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Stephanie says
Just now seeing your blog. Love the Baby Blardigan!! So cute! What color “blardigan” are you wearing in these photos? It looks like a pinky taupe.
Thanks!
Stephanie 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Stephanie! My color isn’t currently available, and I don’t remember what it is called. But you will LOVE it, no matter which color you get! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
