Where your TO DO list didn’t get anything crossed off of it, even though you WERE IN FACT doing things all day long.
That was my day yesterday.
For example, my To Do list had “take pics for white, black, and cognac post” written on it.
But guess what.
That did NOT happen.
It actually didn’t even come close to happening.
Because you know what else didn’t happen?
I didn’t shower until like 10:00 p.m.
Even though I worked out at like 1:30 p.m.
And even though I smelled for like 8 hours.
Yes, it was one of those days.
Maybe if I would have had “shower” written on my To Do list I might have had a better shot at it, because OH MY WORD how I love to cross things off the list.
Live and learn.
In fac, sometimes I write things down on my list after I’ve already completed the task, just so I can cross it off.
ANYHOO.
The post I had planned for today has been moved to Monday.
Just roll with it. 🙂
I feel quite sure I will be able to shower and get fixed between now and then.
#fingerscrossed
So today is going to be kind of like a Friday Favorites post.
I thought about calling it Wednesday Wants or Wednesday Wish List….
but neither of those things made since because I actually already own the items I’m going to be talking about today.
So I’m going to call it “It’s Wednesday, and maybe if you feel like it you should WANT or WISH for some of these things that I already have and love.”
Just kidding.
I’m not calling it that.
But it does do a nice job of conveying what today’s post is about.
Andrea, if you want to make a graphic, go for it. 🙂
So without further ado…….
here are some things for you to check out……
I wore this first outfit twice this week.
Once on Saturday to a kid’s birthday party, and then again on Monday to speak at a MOPS group in Richardson (shout out First Methodist Richardson MOPS girls)! 🙂
What’s that? You don’t ever wear things twice in one week? Yeah, me neither.
The outfit consists of 4 main pieces: my newest pair of Vigoss jeans, an anthro top, my Old Navy military jacket, and my nude patent flats. It was so easy to throw on, but I felt really cute and put together in it!
For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the Anthro tunic and the Old Navy military jacket.
The tunic has great detail on it. The light blue on top is a chambray, and there is also ribbon detailing up top. The bottom obviously has a lace band. So many great details make the top worth the extra money in my eyes. I got soooo many compliments on it!
And the jacket is just straight up awesome.
You know I have 4 military jackets and adore them all, but this is the one I am grabbing all the time right now. It comes in this military green, but it also comes in a dark khaki and a mid-tone chambray!
anthro striped tunic HERE /
(FYI: Anthro is running FREE SHIPPING with $150 purchase with the code FS150, click HERE to shop the entire site!)
old navy military jacket HERE /
jeans HERE /
Let’s take a closer look at the earrings HERE
These babies are $12.
That’s right, you heard me. TWELVE DOLLARS.
LIKE ONE LESS THAN THIRTEEN.
Circle hoops AND turquoise accents. Yes, please.
HEADS UP GIRLS!
When linking these items on facebook this morning, I realized that the nude patent flats are ON SALE! When you put them in your cart, they show $59.21…and they are regularly $78.95!
They are fully stocked now, so click HERE if you want to check them out!
****************************************************
If you are new to the blog, you can click HERE to read through the last 9 week of my Get Healthy Journey! I’ve been super dedicated (with a small amount of french fries and Taco Bueno thrown in for good measure – a girl has GOT TO LIVE), and I’m really pleased with my results!
I’m still a huge fan of my Zella live in leggings and capris (I adore THESE and am thinking I’ll ask for them for my birthday!), but as far as tops go, I’ve been open to trying new things. I loved this “hourglass” top I picked up from Macy’s!
idealogy tank from Macy’s HERE (on sale!)/ zella live in leggings HERE / nike free sneakers HERE (my exact ones are sold out, but the ones linked come in 3 awesome colors!)
For size reference, I’m wearing a small in both the tank and the leggings.
So, I took this next picture right after Heather and I did an upper body strength training AND Gamma. Let the record show, when I do Gamma my face turns a really dark shade of red (almost purple really), and it takes at least an hour to return to it’s normal color.
It’s awesome. Except the exact opposite.
And I promise I didn’t start with my hair in a side ponytail, but it almost always ends up that way.
#gammaishard
And in case you are wondering, I just learned how to invert the pic like this on my phone to do side by sides like this one. I promise I won’t be doing it a lot :), but it was too good of an opportunity to pass up with the side ponytail!
tank HERE / shorts from Target HERE (the coral pair I’m wearing is sold out, but other colors are available) / nike free sneakers HERE (my exact ones are sold out, but these come in 3 awesome colors!)
Here’s a closer up look at the tank and shorts.
The “hourglass” effect the tank has with the colors in the middle and the black on the sides is pretty much GENIUS. All clothes need this feature.
And the shorts are fantastic.
Flattering AND Comfy. Two things work out shorts MUST be.
Since I started the GET HEALTHY journey, I’ve tried on lots and lots of shorts, and these from Target are BY FAR my favorite! They are also the cheapest!
Thanks for the recommendation Heather!!!!
tank HERE / shorts HERE
**********************************************************
And for some NEW SALE items (all items we’ve talked about before that are NOW ON SALE)…
If you follow me on facebook (you can do so HERE), then last night you got a sneak peek of these next two items that are NOW ON SALE!
First up, Nordstrom is price-matching, and there are LOTS of Kendra Scott goodies on sale!
You can find the Rayne necklaces HERE.
Elle earrings HERE (these are my favorite size).
And the Morgan Studs are HERE.
But again, to see all of the sale items Kendra has to offer, click HERE.
I had a couple of people ask me about the shirt on facebook last night.
WELL. If you are new here, it’s time to catch you up to speed.
This shirt is THE MUST HAVE shirt (found HERE).
JUST TRUST AND GET IT.
But make sure you order a size down (I’m wearing an x-small), and I only recommend black. The other colors are pretty (and believe me…I wish I had other colors), but they all seem to wrinkle too much.
The plus size version of the MUST HAVE shirt is available HERE.
And this version is 40% OFF!
And thanks to Jenn, I also found out that MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE GORJANA HOOPS are ON SALE! Looking back, I really should have made these earrings a MUST HAVE.
They are so simple (and not cheap), so I didn’t name them a MUST HAVE because I felt like people might roll their eyes.
Big Mistake on my part. BIG. HUGE.
I WEAR THEM CONSTANTLY. LIKE AT LEAST 3x per week EVERY WEEK.
So they are without a doubt a MUST HAVE for ME! 🙂
Click HERE for the earrings.
They are lightweight and delicate, but large enough that they still make a statement!
(Just fyi, a couple of girls mentioned on facebook that they have all 3 colors: the gold, rose gold, and silver.) No judgement here girls. I get it. 🙂
Click HERE for the other Gorjana items that are included in the sale.
(Fyi: In case you are interested, I’m wearing the Wit and Wisdom MUST HAVE jeans found HERE.
For size reference, some people got their typical size, and some people sized down.)
I went through the blog and grabbed the first 5 images I could find with me wearing the earrings.
Told you I was obsessed….
And the site says that the gold Kate Spade Glitter Studs are back AND ON SALE.
I’m afraid that by the time this post goes live they will already be gone, but I wanted to give it a try!
Click HERE for the gold glitter studs.
(And lots of other Kate Spade studs are also on sale HERE.)
The MUST HAVE Hue ultra wide waistband leggings are also on sale.
Click HERE.
For size reference, I wear a small.
I prefer the grey to the back. I feel like they do a better job sustaining their color over time.
Sadly, all of these tunics are sold out, but I wanted you to see lots of different ways I’ve worn
the leggings! Click HERE for them.
In fact, Nordstrom seems to be on PRICE MATCHING SPREE!
It’s a PRICE MATCHING BONANZA if you will. 🙂
Click HERE for all Michael Kors watches that are 25% OFF!
Click HERE for all Longchamp items that are 25% OFF! Lots of pretty spring and summer colors!
Here are some other items on sale! Just click on what you are interested in!
NOTICE THE JACK ROGERS sandals! I tried on my first pair last week (which you will see in an upcoming post) and I loved them! I totally get all the hype! Click HERE for all of the Jack Rogers items included in the sale!
And if you haven’t fallen victim to the call of the Marisa pants yet….maybe you will today because they are ON SALE for $39.50, regularly $69.50!
(For those of you that already got them, thank you for all of the great feedback!)
Click HERE for the tech stretch skinny ankle fit Marisa pants in black! If you work in an office environment (and even if you don’t), these are a great pair of pants to have in your closet. Click HERE if you prefer the curvier fit of the Julie pants.
If you want them in red click HERE.
If you want these awesome pants in khaki or olive in the Marisa fit click HERE, if you want them in the Julie fit click HERE.
(After my Get Healthy results, I’ve had to size down in these pants. WooHoo!)
If you are interested in ordering from LOFT, and you want to try to get to the $125 FREE SHIPPING minimum, click HERE to check out their dresses, skirts, and cardigans that are all $25 off. They have lots of cute dresses that would be appropriate for Easter Sunday!
And one more thing before you go…
Check out Shay’s Meal Planning Monday from this week. Lots of yummy entree ideas…but how yummy and perfect would this Lemon Monkey Bread be for Easter?!?
See you back here on Friday girls!
I promise to have washed my hair by then.
It’s good to have goals, ya’ know.
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Um, Sheaffer. You look so freaking good in those workout clothes! Girlfriend, you look HOT! I want the shorts, the pants and the tank if they're going to make me look like you! And thank you for posting my Meal Planning Monday :). Love you!
Lindsay Truax says
I need a navy army jacket and thanks for the heads up on the Kendra Scott sale!

Narci says
That tank and shorts are adorable on you! So cute!!
Erika Slaughter says
My fave outfit is the last black/white with the peep toe shoe. You need to head to a boardroom ASAP in that. Any boardroom. 🙂
Whitney says
Hi! I am a shorts girl for the gym- although I did try the Zella leggings and I do enjoy them! Are the Target shorts stretchy at all or more like a wind breaker material? Thanks!
Lisa Rockwell says
Whitney, I'm adding to your question..do the shorts have a liner in them at all? Trying to find completely black running shorts for my daughter for track and having a hard time finding some that are reasonably priced.
Sheaffer says
Hi Whitney and Lisa! They do have the "underwear" in them if that's what you mean. And the elastic waistband is very stretchy, but the rest of the material is more like a wind breaker. Hope this helps ladies! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Lisa Rockwell says
OMG, please ignore me, I re-read the description and it says there is an inner brief in the shorts, ha!
Jen V. says
You look amazing girl!!!!
KW0410 says
SHEAFFER!!! You look amazing!! Great job with your get healthy efforts!!
Kristen says
Bought the Jorgana earrings in gold as soon as you posted them last night! I have been wanting them forever (I call them the JoJo earrings – from Fixer Upper) but couldn't justify the full price cost! So glad I snagged them on sale.
I love how you styled that anthro shirt! I should have tried it on and bought it on Saturday when it was 15% off – argh! I have the ON military jacket, Vigoss jeans and nude patent flats already! Might have to bite the bullet and get it now full price! So super cute!!
I can't wait to see your black white and cognac post! I have been searching for 2 years for cute cognac wedges and flat sandles and haven't found what I want!
Thanks again for all your awesome recs!!!

Your legs are amazing!!!
nordstrom question… I ordered the ballet flats a week or two ago, do they do that thing where they will give u the sale price if they go on sale after a purchase?
Anonymous says
oh I just used their live chat, and yes they do, they return the difference onto your CC.. This is why I love Nordstroms, no fuss, no pain, just a simple text LOL!

Jessica Sweeney says
Loved this post! You made me really want to try out leggings … I haven't taken the plunge yet to do so, so maybe I will!

You look freaking awesome in that workout tank and those pants!!!! Like I need that top stat!!! I love cute workout clothes 🙂
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
you are looking SO GOOD!!! Maybe i should give that working out thing a try. Except no. And everyone needs that ON military jacket…it's THAT GOOD!
allieology says
I just went and bought Kendra Scott earrings and Jack Roger Sandals…. My heart loves you, but my credit card… not so much 🙂
Lori says
The workouts are working! You look amazing! Wore my must have black shirt, gorjana hoops and rayne necklace yesterday. I normally don't wear a big earring and statement necklace at the same time but the hoops work. They're large but not flashy. I wore it with my white Kut from the Cloth cords and leopard flats. I bought the old navy jacket yesterday. I was kind of bummed it wasn't on sale in the store but they were sold out online in my size and they were almost sold out in the green in the store. It really is quite cute! And the wit and wisdom jeans are soooo comfy. Not crazy about the dark wash but some outfits just call for a dark denim. I have a big Nordstrom order coming soon with the new wedges and vigoss jeans. Yikes….I need to stop reading your blog, but….I CAN'T!! I've warned the hubby! Can't wait until Monday for the cognac and black post.
The Boutelle Family says
First off, I have the must-have-leggings from your recommendation & LOVE them! Also, I just had to say that I actually do have "shower"on my daily to-do list because I just love crossing things off!
Susan says
I have that same ON military coat, but it is too cold to wear it still in NY. Can't wait!! 🙂
Jenny says
Thank you for posting the MK watches on sale at Nordstrom. I have been wanting the gold MK Bradshaw watch forever and I was planning on going to the MK store this weekend and picking it up. Thanks to you I just saw it is on sale at Nordstrom and I put it in my shopping bag!! Happy Easter to me!
Brittany says
Ok, just bought the nude flats. I've had them on my wish list just waiting for a sale! I'm thinking my husband is going to make me take a break from your blog. I can't. stop. buying! But I never regret a PTMT purchase – I wear the heck out of everything you tell me to buy! Lol!

As always, there is so much I want and so little money 🙁
Paige says
First of all- wow, I wish I looked that good in workout clothes!! Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up about the must have leggings being on sale- I have the grey and black and agree that the grey stay nicer, but I am going to get another pair of black since they're on sale (and I wear them 5 out of 7 days a week- ha!)

I have been waiting for the leggings to go on sale!! Thanks for sharing that they are. Love love love those things!!!!

Keep up the good work on the workout! I haven't ever seen you in person but I can tell in your photos that you are getting lean…not that you any to lose!!!!
Tiffany Bagalini says
O M G . . .I thought I was the only crazy who wrote things down on the list AFTER I have completed it, just for the satisfaction it brings me to see something checked off the list. Second, I DO put "Shower/Get Ready" on my to do list – my husband has been giving me a hard time about it for 22 years! Lastly, you looked great before, but you look fit and toned! Those legs!!!! Keep up the good work.
Because Shanna Said So says
You go girl….looking good on the fitness front!! And I swear you crack me up!!!
Katie C says
I found a "steal" version of the must have black shirt (plus size) at Target. So disappointing. I grabbed it in a size up (3X) because that was the only size they had on the rick, and didn't try it on. Turns out it is snug in the sleeves, which is particularly annoying when I bought it a size up. Don't normally have this problem.
Anyway, thought I would share.

Thanks for all of your info on the sales, must have items, etc. Love Love Love your style! And you look amazing in those shorts and tank! Can I have your legs please!!!
Dianna says
You look awesome! And in that one workout pic the tank played tricks on my eyes. You look insanely thin with huge boobs! Ha!
Olivia's Mommy says
You have done it again. I saw the Jack Rogers shoes and have been eyeing them for my daughter so since they price matched, I noticed they have them 25% for kids! Need to order those babies ASAP! Thanks for helping me spend money as always Sheaffer!
Kathryn says
GIRL! You are looking so skinny! I basically want to add that tank in my cart if I can look like you! 🙂 P.S. Thanks again for the Gorjana heads up…Nord's price matched my previous order! Hallelujah! And of course I love a good military jacket…and am so glad you gave me that combo because I've got the same shirt and jacket. Seriously, you're a doll!!
Andrea (127things) says
You seriously look amazeballs. I just scooped up some Kendra Scott earrings and a new set of leggings on sale! Thank you!!!

Sheaffer,
First, let me say how much I enjoy your blog! Always great reading material. I seriously feel like you are my personal shopper/stylist. You have saved me SO much time because of your recommendations. I can just order things online from the comfort of my couch. You show me what works, what doesn't, what goes together, etc. You have honestly taken the thinking and the stress out of shopping for me, so THANK YOU!!!!!! Also, I just love your Bachelor recaps. You have me laughing out loud half the time and my husband wonders what's wrong with me. Keep up the great work!
– A faithful reader

Thank you for sharing!!! I'm in love with my must have wit and wisdoms jeans and my nude flats…literally wear them all the time! I need the Zella leggings to go on sale now.
PS. LOVE my Jack Rogers too!! I get a felling they might hit the must have list! Just saying.
angie says
You are just too cute on so many levels! I am a surgeon mommy who struggles to balance work life and "mommy-hood" much less keep up with fashion. I found your blog through my sister who also adores you. We actually have to watch it or we will show up at events with the same thing on that we got from your blog, true story! Anyway, I have never posted, but I am a frequent reader on my downtime and have bought several things at your suggestion and adore them all. I don't go shopping much but love that you take care of that for me! 🙂 Anyway, your comment about your list-making made me smile…especially the "retroactive" checks that I frequently do and have done for years. My husband still cracks up when he sees me do it, so it's nice to see that there is someone else out there! Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the frequent smiles and too frequent purchases!
Misty says
Hey Sheaffer! I love your blog & my Nordstrom card has never been so active! Ha! Quick question…do you recommend the ballet flats in black? I recently purchased the nude and love them! Just thought I'd take advantage of the sale, if so. Thanks so much!
Sheaffer says
Hi Misty! Yes, I think the black patent are super cute too!!!!!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Misty says
Great! Thank you so much!
Chic Coastal Living says
Those workout clothes are cute!
Kathi Mackintosh says
Sheaffer,
I just wanted to say "hi" and thanks for the enjoyable reading. I don't really enjoy shopping (I know, now you think we can't be friends ;-)), but for some reason I love reading your blog and seeing all the cute outfit ideas. You have inspired me to think more about putting outfits together instead of just throwing clothes on my body. I recently picked up the $8 coral and turquoise earrings. Thanks! I also think you should be recapping dwts this season. I miss your wit. Your bachelor recaps this season were the best! #bestuseofhashtagsever So, anyway, thanks for the fun reading!
Begina says
What size are your shorts from Target?
Sheaffer says
Hi Begina! They are smalls! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Anna says
hey girl hey! was wondering about the HUE leggings-are the pretty thick in the behind area so there is no see through business going on?
Sheaffer says
Hi Anna! They are thick enough that there is no see through stretching anywhere! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Candace Wall says
You look fantastic! Your an inspiration to keep me going in my own get fit journey! Thank you for posting you meal ideas!

I coveted the gold Gorjana hoop earrings every time I saw them on your blog, but just didn't want to bite the bullet and spend that kind of money on earrings. BUT, I put them on the top of my Christmas list and got them!! Love, love, love, love!! Thanks for all the good tips!

FYI – I believe Nordstrom is currently price matching to Bloomingdale's Friends & Family Sale…Bloomie's has extended their sale through 3/30, so my educated guess is Nordstrom will be price matching those items you talked about through 3/30. Grab 'em at these awesome prices while you can!
