Got an e-mail from LOFT Tuesday morning,
and they are doing yet another 50% off sale of selected merchandise.
I picked out my favorites for you!
popcorn stitch sweater HERE
I have this exact sweater and LOVE it. It’s perfect.
boyfriend cardigan HERE
I have this in a camel color and it gets worn all the time! Lots of colors to choose from!
boatneck tee HERE
GREAT standard tee. Lots of colors!
striped puff 3/4 sleeve top HERE
You know I LOVE a stripe. And I really like the shape of this tee!
striped dress HERE
Imagine this dress with grey tights and tall brown boots.
Yep. You would be DARLING.
*****************************************
Okay ladies.
Yes.
(even though they weren’t available at the time). Well, one color
option became available at Nordstrom on Friday HERE, but many of you e-mailed me this weekend to let me know that all colors are now available at Zappos!
You guys are some fashion super sleuths! Thanks for looking out for me!
Click HERE for the black and white stripes, click HERE for the red colorway.
(Sorry the purse still isn’t available.)
many of you bought the Hunter boots at the SHOPBOP sale a couple of
weeks ago, and I’ve received lots and lots of e-mails and pictures from
some very excited people when their Hunter’s arrived! (And I feel it
necessary to report that the 3 of you who got the red boots and sent me
pictures have darn near convinced me I need a red pair because DANG
they’re cute!)
lots of you pulled the rain boots trigger during the Shopbop sale, some
of you still didn’t. You said you just couldn’t justify spending the
money
to me they have been worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY I spent on them. Each
time it rains I wear them, and each time I am so thankful I shelled out
the money.
ran into a high school friend at the mall a couple of weeks ago who
reads the blog (Hi Kelli!) and she told me that I had to know about the
Sperry rain boots.
Hey Kim, I told you so. 😉
************************************************************
Shay tweeted this, and I loved it!
And Erin at Blue Eyed Bride totally agreed!
Mine have now officially been ordered and are on their way to me.
“Life changing” is saying a lot Shay…
I’ll do for “muffin top changing”.
😉
HERE are the leggings we are all talking about.
I am ALL ABOUT the wide band at the top.
Shay says it is perfect.
THESE HAVE A CRAZY NUMBER OF 5 STAR REVIEWS, like this one:
These
are my favorite leggings by far. They fit true to size, they hold up
well wash after wash, and they keep their shape very well while wearing
them! My husband always asks me if they are new every time I put them
on, and says that he likes the way they look. I think they are just
plain comfy. The price point
is great too – an ideal legging!
Hey Shay, I told you so. 😉
************************************************************
My cute friend Erika’s cousin, Morgan, instagrammed this picture of her new Penny boots
with the caption that “Pinterest Told Her To!”
Morgan said that she’s worn them 4 days in a row and that they are super comfy!
I would also venture a guess that I’ve received around 20 e-mails about these boots. Every single e-mail has been positive (especially from the girls with wider calves who are SO THRILLED to have found a great boot that works for them!)
Click HERE for the Penny boot in the regular version.
Click HERE for the wide calf version.
Hey Morgan, I told you so. 😉
***************************************
And the last reader e-mail today comes from Samantha who wrote me about my nude flats.
Sheaffer,
I kept seeing your nude flats on the blog, and I kept thinking I wanted them for myself, but I could never take the plunge. Well, I got some $ for my birthday, and I headed straight to Nordstrom to try them on. You were right (again), they are awesome. I don’t know why it took me so long to buy these shoes, I’ve bought 3 other things you’ve recommended and loved them all. For some reason, I just didn’t believe that I would really wear nude flats in the fall. Considering I’ve worn them 8 times in the last 2 weeks, it looks like I’ve proven my theory wrong. Thanks for the push to get these flats.
I had no idea I even needed them. 🙂
Samantha
Click HERE for the flats!
Now Samantha didn’t send me any pictures, but it doesn’t mean I’m not going to say….
Hey Samantha, I told you so. 😉
And since I didn’t get any pics from Samantha, I thought I would show you a couple of my fall
outfits with the nude flats.
must have shirt HERE
must have jeans, similar pair HERE
(Jeans in link by same maker, but they are more distressed.)
nude flats HERE (exact pair)
t-shirt and cardigan both several years old
They truly are perfect for fall!
And I love that they are nude patent! They make my outfits feel polished!
Now, one last thing before you go….
I had an idea last week, so I do what I always do when I have an idea,
I called Andrea, the genius behind Slightly Askew Designs and all of my graphics.
(You need to read her post on her family blog on Friday HERE. It’s short and sweet, and it’s full of good stuff people.)
From now through December, when I feature an item that I think would make a great gift for Christmas, you will see this graphic to give you a heads up (thanks to Andrea of course):
Isn’t it DARLING?
(Please don’t send me e-mails saying it’s too early. It’s NEVER to early to start marking things off your Christmas list.)
So….my first SANTA ALERT is for something that I’ve already talked about a couple of times, but as soon as I had the graphic made, I knew it would be the first item I featured.
It’s MY FAVORITE SCARF EVER.
At this price, you could not only get it for your mom, your sister, and your aunt…
you could also get it for your best friend…..
and what about this…..
TEACHER GIFTS!
These would make FABULOUS teacher gifts!
I can practically hear all of the teacher screaming “YES!” right now!!!!
Click HERE for the scarf.
(And remember, Pinterest Told Me To gift tags for Christmas are coming soon!)
Okay girls, that’s it for today!
The hubby is off today, so it’s just more snuggling with our little guy, and making sure he’s 100%.
Have a wonderful Monday friends!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Three things: 1. The leggings are like butter. I want to wear them every day. This summer at the pool, you will be wearing a swimsuit and I'll be wearing Hue leggings. 2. That scarf is the perfect Christmas gift! I plan on buying several to give people on my shopping list! 3. It's never too early for Christmas. Never. Ever. Never.
Morgan says
Thanks for using my picture on PTMT, Sheaffer! I absolutely LOVE my new Sam Edelman boots. I also got the vigoss jeans (dark wash/skinny fit) and am 100% confident now that you are a definite fashion GENIUS! 😉 Can't wait to order more of your recommendations in the future.
aprilparrish says
So sorry your little guy is sick. Hope he is better very soon!
You've talked me into it-I'm ordering the Hue leggings! And I'm excited about the Santa Alerts. Prefect with Christmas just around the corner.
Have a great day! 🙂
Meagan @ The Clanahan Fam says
It poured in Houston yesterday & all I could think about is how I really, really needed a pair of Hunter boots. UGH. Why haven't I bought them yet??? The shorter sperry ones are super cute too! BTW, if anyone is on the fence for the cognac wedge boots, BUY THEM. They are hands down, the most comfortable AND stylish boots I've ever owned. I wore them to the zoo on Friday – the zoo, people! Walked around in them for a good 4+ hours and nary a complaint. Worth every.danged.penny.
Jen Pogue says
It's always so tough having a sick little one. My daughter was sick last week and I got so behind on everything…still playing catch up. The Santa Alert idea is awesome! I'll look forward to everything you feature!
Kim Kauffman says
Aww sorry your little guy is sick! I had to laugh about you falling asleep while singing the song for the millionth time. I can so relate. My kids have both been up all night for a week now (the baby I can understand but the 3 year old??? No idea what's going on). I practically sleep walk to and from their rooms! PS Thanks for the sweet comment about my hair! Hope you have a great day! 🙂
Liz/happymommy says
That first picture of C and B….absolutely LOVE!!! Canvas worthy for sure! Hope your little guy is feeling better today and oh my…kind of funny about you having to sing to him 176 times at 3am…good mama right there! And yes, that scarf I am so buying for Christmas gifts and one for myself while I'm at it…at that cuteness and price how could anyone not! Once again Andrea's graphic is AhhhMazing!
Elaine~ Honey Pie Accessories says
You make me smile every day…. hope little man is feeling tons better!!! I feel your pain, I was up 4 times last night w/ my 4 month old that has had a cold for TWO WEEKS! Anywho, I took the plunge and asked my mama to buy me the Hunter boots for Christmas, and she totally did! Except, I don't get them until Christmas, and I'm counting down the days! And, I bought the Loft dress and maybe two more Loft items! (Cannot wait for the other two to get here!) I'm finally re-working my momma style thanks to you!
Katherine @ Grass Stains says
Guuuuurl, I finally caved and bought the wide-calf Penny boots in cognac AND black. They are magical. I've never spent that much money on shoes — boots or otherwise — and these were my very first PTMT-approved purchases. But I have to say: You weren't wrong! They're totally awesome. Here's my sole complaint about them: They come with a big sticker on each pair that says "WIDE-SHAFT VERSION." Really? We're going with "WIDE-SHAFT"? Okay, then. Interesting turn of phrase. 😉
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
It's NEVER too early for Christmas! I love that striped tunic, it is leggings' best friend. Sorry to hear that Carter was so sick over the weekend. Poor little guy. 🙁 Hope he's all back to normal now and the rest of the household stays healthy! That pic at the top looks like it should be in a magazine. Too precious!
PurseONality says
Hi Shaeffer, I bought the new must have white shirt this weekend and ended up going with the medium as well. I LOVE it!!! I have been searching for the perfect white shirt for so long. This Is IT!!!

Ordering the leggings and scarf RIGHT NOW!!!! I have been hunting for the right pair of leggings for what seems like forever! Thanks for telling me what to do 😉
smk053078 says
I hope that sweet boy of yours is doing better! Having a sick kid is the worst! And doesn't Hobby Lobby have the cutest things. I could get sucked in there for hours! Annnnnnd, yes….this scarf is sooooooooo fun!
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
For someone who had no time to write a post, you wrote a pretty fabulous post!! I hope C is feeling better and you guys are having a great day!
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
Leggings are in route now.
Scarf is being purchased for my MIL for Christmas as we speak. And possibly my mom, we'll see.
And it's never to early to shop for Christmas. Ever.
LB says
I love reading your post, I feel like you have revamped my wardrobe! I even have my mom reading and shopping, and she usually hates to shop. I have family pictures this weekend for my two boys and my husband and I. I was hoping you could give advice on how to make a family of four look good for pictures but not too matchy matchy. Also one more request, a guys wardrobe post sometime!!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! You're in luck! My friend Shay is doing a blog post tomorrow about Christmas cards! You should head over there tomorrow and check it out! http://www.shayshull.com
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Heather says
Hey Sheaffer…I have to tell you…I bought those HUE leggings on Saturday after reading your post and they are FABULOUS! So comfy. I also ordered those Stella and Dot gemstone earrings and they are so cute, I wear them with everything. Thanks for all your recommendations!
Liz says
That scarf is added to my Christmas list! Now I just have to pick a color…shoot…I'll ask for them all! lol
Unknown says
I got my leggings today! I think Shay's statement about them being like butter it totally accurate! Seriously I have never put on a pair of leggings and felt skinny, best leggings ever. I think I better order another pair! Thanks for the recommendation.
