and it is a perfect length (kinda long, but not stupid long).
Do y’all like my descriptions?
I should totally write for clothing catalogs. I know.
Best of all……it is SUPER affordable.
The solid version is HERE.
The striped version is HERE.
The crew neck version is HERE.
Don’t just order 1, you will regret it.
size small in the t-shirt. I do have a chest, and I feel like I have a
big rib cage, but the small is still good on me. (I usually wear a size
small….except at LOFT, where I sometimes wear x-small.)
color t-shirts are kinda long (which I love). The striped ones seem to
not be quite as long, but they still aren’t short. Hope this helps for
all of you that are wanting to order but didn’t know which size to get!

Well, while browsing Nordstrom, I broadened my obsession.
I’m pretty sure my hubby just instinctively hid the credit cards.
It’s not just leopard that I am loving…but other animal prints (including snake skin).
I found several perfect shoe choices for spring and summer….and they are all Sam Edelman.
The brand is known for “not sacrificing comfort for style.”
Heck ya!
Listen, I’m all for style, but if a shoe isn’t comfortable, I’m NOT wearing it.
I’m not one of those girls that suffers to look good. Nope, not me.
And look at these wedges.
Simple, classic, and if you’re scared of some of those wedges out there that are too tall, these will be just right! Both under $70.
And they come in lots of other colors. Just click on one of these pair and then look around.
*Reviews said they run a little small…so order a 1/2 size up.
Okay…UPDATE…I just got this e-mail from Betsey (a sweet reader):
A little tip on the Sam Edelman sandals…..I LOVE them…all of them
(and I have a few pairs!). You probably do not need a 1/2 size
larger…they seem to mold to your feet. When I ordered my SE flip
flops (Gracie in silver) in my normal size, I initially thought I had
gotten them a little snug. But after a few wears, they fit
perfect…..larger would have been too big.
NEW UPDATE:
Jenn, The Stylish Housewife, also left a comment saying” just wanted to let you know that i also have the sam edelman sandals and did not need to size up. =)
A wedge, with leopard, and a little bit of red.
Yes, please.

My Stella and Dot Kimberly Necklace.
My friend Alison over at Get Your Pretty On always talks about “outfit makers”.
Well, THIS necklace is an outfit maker for sure.
On the left, my grey t-shirt and neutral cardigan.
On the right, the same t-shirt and cardigan with my jewelry.
See? The jewelry is a total outfit maker! An “instant outfit”!
(earrings HERE, bracelet HERE)
And here’s some of the other times I’ve worn the necklace in the last 3 weeks. (I’ve only had the necklace for 3 weeks….so here’s the proof that I am obsessed!)
And…before you go…

The only rule is to link up with an outfit that was inspired by Pinterest!
If you link up here, it will appear on Shay’s and Mel’s blog also!
That’s triple exposure people! 🙂
Happy Weekend!
And more importantly….
Happy EASTER!!!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
You showed me the light months ago and I've since purchased several of those shirts…they are perfection. This is why you are who you are…genius. I'm so excited to do Pin-spired with you on Monday!!
Katie Skelley says
Okay, confession time: I just ordered three of those tees. JCrew on sale + 30% off + v-neck tee = get in my closet! I like v-necks because they are great for those of us that are lacking in the bone structure department. I have a round head. And those colors are fabulous. Thanks for the heads up!
Stacy says
Still wondering how those tshirts run? Can you give me a ballpark idea? Are they snug in the back?
Thank you!
Sheaffer says
Hi Stacy! You are a "no reply" comment blogger, so your settings don't allow me to reply directly to you by e-mail. I have updated my post today with information, so look within the post to see! (I promise I wasn't ignoring you! I was hoping you would see the information that I left in the comments earlier this week……and I also updated the original post with the information.) If you go to the blog Hi Sugarplum and type "no reply blogger" in the search bar, there is a tutorial on how to fix your settings!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Stacy says
Thank you! I see it now 🙂
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
I SO want leopard flip flops this year. How cute are those? And that necklace is fabulous, it literally goes with everything! Hope you have a blessed Easter weekend!
Darcy says
I loved this post. Yes, catalogs really should hired you to write descriptions :). I love statement necklaces – always completely change up an outfit!

Betsey Gabela says
Sheaffer, you ROCK!!! Would you, could you please come give my closet a makeover????
A little note on the SE sandals….you probably do not need to size up. I have several pairs and I LOVE them all! They seem to mold to your feet as you wear them. When I ordered my SE flops (Gracie in silver) in my normal size, I initially thought they were a little snug….but after a few wears they fit perfectly!!! I'm pretty sure they would feel way too big if I had sized up! Hope this helps!
The Preppy Puppy says
Those sandals are so cute, I just might have to purchase a pair of those. I got a pair of orange snake skin Sam Edelman flats from Nordstrom Off the Rack a couple years ago and yes, they are so comfortable! They have a nice, cushy foot bed which is awesome for flats.
Emma Finlayson says
Going to check out those tees and I LOVE that S&D necklace!
kristinwithani says
I love those J Crew Factory t's too! I have three now but want more for summer. The LS version is great too for winter layering.
Jen says
I have a post drafted about the J Crew v-neck too! Great minds think alike. 😉 I have them in just about every color!
jenn~the stylish housewife says

Dinah Cicenas says
Does Stella &Dot ever have specials or discounts?
Sheaffer says
Hi Dinah! Your blogger settings are set to "no reply", so I couldn't reply to you by e-mail….so I hope you check back here! They do run monthly specials…but they typically just choose around 3 items to put on special…and typically you have to spend $50 before you qualify for the monthly special. So, even though they do run specials…the chance of a special including what you are specifically interested in is slim. Hope this helps!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Dinah Cicenas says
Sheaf fear, thanks so much! No point in waiting to order that necklace then 🙂
Sheaffer says
Dinah! I promise that the necklace is worth every stinkin' penny!!! 😉
Dinah Cicenas says
Ordered! Can't wait 🙂
Sheaffer says
Yay! You will LOVE it!!!!!
Dinah Cicenas says
Ok last post- I promise! It literally arrived the next day and is even prettier for reals! 🙂
