I was there on Friday and tried on several AMAZING pieces that I will share with you at the bottom of the post!
FIRST.
THE JACKET.
If this jacket isn’t already in your closet right now, you must rectify this IMMEDIATELY.
It was actually the 1st MUST HAVE I ever named, and let me tell you, it is a MUST! HAVE!
And I know every single lady that has it would also say that IT IS IN FACT a MUST HAVE.
Like seriously.
YOU MUST HAVE IT.
Here’s the first official MUST HAVE picture.
(This jacket is the reason I came up with MUST HAVE status!)
IF YOU HAVE ONE OR MORE OF THESE JACKETS, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!!!!
So, here are a list of my close friends that should be leaving comments: Shay, Erika, Andrea, Narci, Lisa, Jeni,
Rachel, and Sarah. 🙂
(FYI: Andrea left this comment this morning:
You know that my love affair with my jacket is still going strong…
Pretty sure I wore it 4 out of the 5 work days last week and it’s ready
to go again today! I’m considering buying another just as “back up”
in case anything ever happens to mine. Seriously.)
LOVE IT!

LOVE IT!
And just in case you aren’t into the stonewashed look (or maybe you just really prefer to order from Nordstrom), the same jacket is available in 2 different washes at Nordstrom HERE.
I promise you, you will WEAR THE EVER LOVING HECK out of these jackets.
You will grab it all the time.
In fact, you will have to talk yourself out of NOT grabbing it every once in awhile just because you don’t want people to look at you weird or talk about you behind your back.
I’m not kidding.
If you have one of these jackets, you know what I’m talking about.
And NOW is the perfect time to buy one.
I wear it all year long, but Spring weather SCREAMS out for this jacket.
***
SIZING INFORMATION:
FOR SIZE REFERENCE, I HAVE A SMALL IN THE JACKET, BUT IT IS VERY FITTED ON ME. FOR FURTHER REFERENCE, SHAY’S IS A SMALL ALSO, BUT HER FIT IS ROOMIER (ALTHOUGH STILL NOT BOXY).
THE MEDIUM WOULD BE FINE ON ME, BUT IT WOULD BE WAY TOO BIG ON SHAY.
HOPE THIS HELPS!

a) Regular denim in stock HERE (at Nordstrom).
b) Stonewashed version HERE (at Macy’s)
and HERE (at Dillard’s)
The one at Dillard’s is called “amelia” instead of “sweet pea”, but I’m 99% sure it’s the same denim jacket! Thanks to my reader Tana for letting me know about it!!!!

c) Dark denim HERE (at Nordstrom).
And just in case you want to see the dark denim on me. I found this picture from one of my shopping trips last year. See how the dark denim even looks good paired with a summer outfit?
Love it!
(White denim is no longer available. Sorry!)
Click HERE for the dark wash at Nordstrom.
During the spring, summer, and fall, I probably wear the jacket AT LEAST 3 days a week.
And I’m not just saying that.
In fact, if we’re being honest, I should probably say 5 days per week.
But that makes me seem pathetic.
And crazy.
So let’s stick with 3 days per week.
Yeah. 3 days per week sounds normal.
Normal-ish anyway.
Let’s take a look back at just some of the MUST HAVE denim jacket looks over the last year.
Even though I know I wear this jacket constantly, the sheer number of pictures still surprised me.
And if you have this jacket, don’t even try to act like you don’t wear it as much as I do.

First up,
I did a guest post awhile back where I talked about 3 statement pieces:
1) my MUST HAVE jacket (HERE)
2) my nude flats (HERE) that are still 20% OFF right now!!!!!!!!
3) a statement necklace
And I set out to prove that the above three pieces could be worn across all 4 seasons.
Here were my outfits (all with the jacket):
Here is is with 3 different looks with my camo pants.
Here it is with 5 different dresses!
I think it looks so great with all of these dresses!
Also seen in the pictures and still available:
Stella and Dot gold Kimberly necklace HERE
MUST HAVE putty wedges HERE
(all dresses sold out)
(all dresses sold out)
Here is a close up with one of the dresses.
With a striped tee, a navy skirt, and my MUST HAVE putty wedges HERE
With my polka dot LOFT dress (no longer available), my Stella and Dot Sanibel pendant HERE, and my cognac wedge boots HERE (still 40% off!)
Remember, if you have athletic calves, you probably want to pass on these boots.

With khaki shorts, a taupe t-shirt, and my Stella and Dot Kimberly necklace HERE.
With a flower tee, brass pendant, pleated skirt (all no longer available) and my putty wedges HERE.
Here it is with my drawstring khaki shorts, a black tank, a scarf, and my putty wedges HERE.
With white jeans, a neon pink tee, and a neon yellow necklace.
With a LOFT dress from like 5 years ago (that I LOVE!) and my Stella and Dot
Kimberly Necklace HERE.
I stepped out of my box for this outfit and rocked the denim on denim.
White v-neck, Kimberly necklace HERE, MUST HAVE jeans,
and my nude flats HERE.
Here I am (before I started using sunless tanner tan towels, which reminds me it’s time to start using these stat!) with white cut offs and an orange shell.
white cut offs (HERE)
TOMS on the left (HERE)
Nude flats on the right (HERE)
white MK ceramic watch (HERE)
Sequin bracelets (HERE)
With mustard skinny jeans, a long navy t (no longer available), my Hunter boots (HERE), and my Stella and Dot Sanibel Pendant (HERE).
Isn’t it crazy how good it looks with all of the above outfits?
I cannot stress enough how happy one of these jackets will make you if you add one of them
to your closet.
I’m telling you, even if you already have a denim jacket, you probably need one of these.
I had one too before ordering this one, but I never wore it for two main reasons:
1) I didn’t love the color.
2) I didn’t love the shape. It was way too boxy.
The fitted look of this jacket is what makes it SOOOOO awesome!
So, just in case you need the links again:
* regular denim in stock HERE (at Nordstrom).
* stonewashed version HERE (at Macy’s)
* dark denim version HERE (at Nordstrom).
If you follow me on facebook (follow me HERE), then you saw that I posted the jacket last night.
Well, I got this facebook comment last night after posting, and it made me smile so big
that I just had to share it:

I made a

I’ll show
you the Nordstrom and Anthro finds later, but I want to share the LOFT
finds now so you can take advantage of the sale!
I LOVE LOVE LOVED this light spring sweater.
The striped sweater with lace detailing HERE.
The lace detailing was such a nice touch, and I liked the wide band across the bottom.

Doesn’t it look great with my mandarin Michael Kors moccasins (found HERE)!?!
For size reference, I was wearing a medium. The small was just a tad bit too tight.

Mix and Match Mama says
Goodness! You really didn't even need words in this post…just the pictures of you in the jacket! I have the jacket, I love the jacket, I wear the jacket all the time! It works for all seasons, shorts, jeans, cords, skirts, maxi dresses…it's perfect. It really is a MUST HAVE ITEM! Love it!
SarahN says
"Hi, my name is Sarah, and I'm addicted to the must-have jacket. I've been trying to wear it less than 3 times per week but I just can't seem to stop myself."
Truly.
Beth says
Sheaffer – I LOVE the neon pink tee in the photo with the white jeans. Would you give me details? Thanks so much!
Sheaffer says
Hi Beth! It's from GAP years ago. Sorry!!!!!!! 🙁
Jill G. says
I wear my must have jacket all of the time! It really does span all seasons! Love your blog – you make it so easy to shop!
Tab & Erika says
I wear my jacket ALL THE TIME!!! LOVE it!! So glad I listened to you!! And…can I just say I think you look great in mustard??
Michelle says
Wondering for size reference what size jacket you are wearing?
Sheaffer says
Hi Michelle! I'm wearing a small, but I probably should have purchased the medium. It's a very fitted jacket (which is what makes it so cute!), but keep that in mind when ordering! You will love it soooooooo much!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
ACK! That polka dot coat must get in my closet! So perfect for spring, especially with stripes!
Slightly Askew Designs says
You know that my love affair with my jacket is still going strong… Pretty sure I wore it 4 out of the 5 work days last week and it's ready to go again today! I'm considering buying another just as a "back up" in case anything ever happens to mine. Seriously.
April Parrish says
I have SEVERAL jean jackets, but when you raved and raved and raved about THIS one I caved and had to purchase. So glad I did!!! LOVE IT!!!
Mego says
Sheaffer, what size do you and Shay have in the must have denim jacket? Thanks so much!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! We both have smalls, but it is much more fitted on me and definitely more roomy on Shay! Mine doesn't meet in the middle, but I like the way it looks layered with my clothes. Keep that in mind if you want a more roomy fit!
Mary says
So funny! Since starting to read your blog, I have purchased the "must have" jacket, shirt, 2 fringe scarves, 3pairs of Toms (2 more on the way from the Nordstrom sale, 3 pairs of Toms booties, leopard shoes, gray Converse, 2 pairs of Hue leggings, kut from the Kloth cords, and a multitude of other things that keeps UPS in business!
Narci says
People, listen to Sheaffer!! This is the most versatile jacket ever!! Order it now while it is in stock!! You will love it!!
Heather says
Sheaffer,
I bought the stonewashed version as soon as I spotted it on the Macy's site last Friday!! Boo that it went to 15% last night, however there was NO WAY that I was missing out when I spotted that beauty!! Do you have the darker wash one too and if so is it as versatile?
Lily says
I love how the jean jacket looks in all your pictures, but I am hesitant to purchase still. As a bigger-chested lady, I worry that it would just make me look bulky or something. Any comforting thoughts on that??
Annie Cox says
I have the must have jacket and love it. I've been dying to bring it back out but it is still too cold to wear just the jacket and too bulky to wear under a winter coat. Ugh! Spring needs to get here fast! I also have a ton of the items you mentioned above that look great with the jacket but I've bought so many things you have suggested, that I can't even remember or list them out. It just shows that I definitely listen when you tell us to buy something. I can't wait to start shopping for spring/summer and seeing what you will be finding for those seasons.
Meredith says
Love that jacket SOO much. Had to get it in the dark and the stonewash and now I just need a white one (do they make a white one? they need to)….Love it!!!!!
Lorie says
Now I need that jacket
Liz/happymommy says
You in that jacket, especially with the mustard skinnies and your hunters, perfection!!!! I sadly do not have the jacket but I may just take the plunge after seeing all your pictures once again, I mean you have definetly proven that it can span all seasons!!!
Shawnee says
I have the jacket….love it! I can't seem to make myself do the denim on denim but it looks super cute on you so maybe I will JUST DO IT!!!
Amanda & Jerrod Carpenter says
This weekend I went to Nordstrom and purchased the nude flats and wedges you've been raving about…. OMG they are going to be worn like every other day! They are both so comfy!!!! I ended up walking around the mall in the wedges all afternoon and forgot I had on wedges! And then the next day wore my nude flats all day and they were like house shoes. Thank you so much for the recommendations because now I have some cute/stylish/comfy shoes to wear to work!
Christina Mendoza says
I found your blog AFTER your first post on the jacket… So I stalked the internet in search of one and found the Robust color at Macy's and ordered it… Then the following week Amazon had the light wash and without hesitation I scooped it up! I adddooorrre it! This coming from someone who bought an amazing jean jacket from the Gap in high school (1996!!) and only wore that one… Sadly, my car was broken into and the jacket and my ray-bans were the only thing stolen… So your must have jacket recommendations came to the rescue! Thank you!!! You are the best! Your bold is a true 'must have'!
Christina Mendoza says
Your *blog! Is a true must have! 😉
Sarah E @ theteacherswife.com says
Ok, so the stars must be alligned b/c my birthday is coming up next week and I just may need to spend some of my bday money is the denim jacket. I've known forever that I needed to snag it, but something else always came up! Thanks for letting us know it's back!!
Lindsay says
Your LEGS in the picture with the drawstring khaki shorts, scarf, and wedges are totally inspiring me to hop on the treadmill and get back on my diet!! Rockin' those shorts girl!! I bought the must have jacket when it went on sale at Zappos but it's been too cold to wear it yet. Now I've got a whole slew of outfit ideas to pair it with, thanks!
Anonymous says
Thanks for the head's up on the LOFT Flash Sale! Three words – Relaxed. Skinny. Jeans. BOOM! Ordered two pair! Can't wait to get them & try them on. Hope they're as great as reviews say. Appreciate you & your dedicated service to shopping – especially of those who don't live in the same state as a Nordstrom & where LOFT is an hour away.

Mego says
Sheaffer, is the wash on the Macy's jacket the same as yours? The picture looks a little bit different than yours, and I just wanted to make sure before ordering! Thanks so much!!!
Sheaffer says
They are the same! They were both called "sweet pea"!

Can't believe how many cute ways you wear the denim jacket! You're a fashion guru! I have a very similar jacket that I got years ago at Old Navy, but I always forget about it. I'm going to pull it out and wear it today. Thanks for the inspiration…..Lana
stacy loggins says
ok, I am for sure getting some nude flats, I love the way you paired them with so many cute outfits!!
Anonymous says
Do you have the sanibel pendant in gold or silver? It is hard to tell. I have been eyeing it for a while but hard to tell which would be most versatile? Thanks love your blog!
Sheaffer says
I have it in gold, but my friend Lori has it in silver. I love both, but I'm glad I have the gold. I wear gold more often than silver though! Don't think I was much help! Sorry!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Tricia says
Have the must have jacket in 3 washes: dark, light, and white. Just wore the white yesterday!!! They are year around and they go with everything. Best jackets ever! Thanks girl!
Because Shanna Said So says
It came back!!!! I bet there are some crazy happy ladies right now. And I am totally loving the dotted jacket for spring…too bad it's about to get crazy warm here! 🙁
Cathy Santerre says
That is without a doubt the cutest denim jacket and looks adorable with ALL those outfits. It's a MUST HAVE and it's HANGING IN MY CLOSET!!! I bought it the first time you recommended it and you keep me coming back for more.
Katie Zeidler says
I bought the must have jacket last summer and I LOVE it!! It's still winter here in Washington but I can't wait for it to warm up so I can start wearing the jacket again!! Absolutely love it and get tons of compliments whenever I wear it. Thank you!!!
CourtneyinFL says
I have the jean jacket in the regular wash and wear it all the time! Fits great and adds a layer of cuteness to an outfit!
Margot says
I just love that jacket! It seems so flattering and the color is perfect. I also couldn't help but notice that sweet dog companion of yours who snuck into the picture. 🙂
Mego says
Ugh! I didn't order it in time:( learned my lesson. Will you please tell us when it becomes available again? Thanks for all your alerts!!

Loving your blog — love pinterest! Love your ideas too!

Is the jacket at Macy's the same as the one you have? I ordered the one from Dillards and it is the "fuller" fit, not cropped….I guess it is the same as the "fraternal twin" that you found at Nordstroms. I just wanted to check before I order from Macy's. Thanks!!! I love your blog!!!!!
Sheaffer says
Gosh! I'm not sure! I really think that the one from Macy's is the same one as the original one from Nordstrom, but I can't be sure. I haven't seen it in person. Sooooo sorry I'm not more help!

Sheaffer 🙂
