Last Wednesday I had a lot of fun showing y’all some outfits that I had planned out for fall and winter looks. I created all 6 outfits around a white tee and plaid infinity scarf, and I put them together with other items that I already had in my closet! Look how cute all 6 outfits turned out if I do say so myself. 😉
When Nordstrom reached out for me to talk about some of my fall picks, I decided it would be fun to show all of the above outfits actually on me! If you are new to the blog, you might not know that Nordstrom has free shipping AND free returns (with no minimum) all the time. #thisiswhywelovenordstrom #amongotherreasons
I’m wearing 2 different white tees in the following 6 outfits. Although I only had one tee in the above flat lays, once I actually started putting the outfits on my body, I realized that the “like buttah” tee in white was wayyyy longer than my wine and black tees in the same size (I have the black and the wine in smalls, and they are perfect). The white tee (in the same size small) had too much fabric and length to look good paired with my shorter jackets. So, I’m wearing this peplum tee in the outfits with my shorter jackets, and I ‘m wearing the buttah tee in the outfits with the longer layers. (FYI: Once I saw how big the white “like buttah” tee was in a small, I jumped online to order an x-small to compare sizes. Sadly, the x-small was on back order, so I can’t comment on the fit. So basically, I’m still unsure if my white small is sized incorrectly, or if for some reason the white tee is just sized differently. #clearasmud )
Outfit #1
I paired plaid with leopard for this outfit, and I absolutely loved it!
If you don’t have a leopard clutch, you could still get a pop of leopard by doing a 1/2 tuck with a regular tee and wearing a leopard belt….or if you have leopard shoes, you could wear those (leopard flats, leopard booties, leopard loafers).
Size References: I’m wearing a small in the peplum tee, a small in the jacket, a 27P in the pants (I’m almost 5’4″.), and the booties are true to size.

And here’s a close up of the cargo skinnies! They are quickly becoming favorites for me, and they come in plus size too! They are very stretchy, very comfortable, and very flattering. In addition to this army green (seen below), these pants also come in a dark grey and a camo pattern! Again, at almost 5’4″, I’m wearing a 27 Petite in these pants.
OUTFIT #2
I thought that this pairing was totally unexpected, but I went for it and thought it was great! Have you never thought of pairing camo and plaid together? Neither had I, but I will now!
I’m not keeping these camo pants for myself because I have 2 different pairs already that I love from year’s past. However, I get asked every year to find a pair that’s currently available, so I ordered some to try (and they already sold out as well).
I did however find an alternative that should work!!!! This pair is stretchy, the camo pattern isn’t crazy, they don’t break the bank, and they come in a plus size option! Plus, they are from the Wit and Wisdom brand that so many of y’all are now fans of.

OUTFIT #3
Since I had a longer layer on top, I was able to wear my white “like buttah” tee with this outfit!
Y’ALL. THIS ENTIRE OUTFIT IS STUPID COMFY. This would be the perfect outfit for running errands on a chilly day. It would also be the perfect outfit for watching Netflix and napping on your couch on a chilly day. 😉
Let’s break it down: a tee that’s “like buttah”, the jeans I honored with the name “pajama jeans“, Uggs, and a freaking blardigan.
I’ve had a lot of people ask me if this tee requires a cami under it. It does not, but it does require a bra without any lace on the cups or straps. The fabric of the tee is so soft and supple that lace definitely shows through when you are wearing the white, so this bra is perfect for it. So when you take into account that I’m also wearing a comfy bra and the best underwear ever, it’s going to be a miracle if I get anything done while wearing this.

OUTFIT #4
My love of a military jacket runs deep. And pairing this plaid scarf with a military jacket is a no brainer. It was actually the first outfit I thought of when I started out to create all of the flat lays. If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, I’m hoping you already have one in your closet (because I’ve been shouting about my love for a great military jacket for over 3 years now)!

OUTFIT #5
I changed this outfit up a bit from how I had originally planned it in the flat lay. Since the tee was too long to do a good 1/2 tuck with a leopard belt, I decided to wear the tee like a tunic, but I still got the pop of leopard in with the clutch!
When I bought this long cardi, I was unsure how often I would actually wear it. Well, I reach for it all the time! It’s such a nice change from all of the short cardigans I’ve worn for the last 20 years! Ha! And if you don’t have black jeans yet, I’m not sure what you are waiting for. The ones linked also come in plus size, and have great reviews!

OUTFIT #6
This outfit is the most “me” of all 6 outfits today. Y’all know I’m smitten with my grey jeans…and when I also get to wear my must have jacket, shoreline converse, and a baseball cap…it’s gonna be a good day. I mean, looking cute and put together (while rocking some seriously dirty hair) is always a plus.

For review: here are all 6 of the outfits you saw today! Which one is your favorite? Leave your pick in the comments!
And I wanted to show you that this scarf works with lots of other colors, not just white.
Here it is with a black top. This is actually the new fleece twist front top I introduced y’all to last week.

And here it is with grey….
I like this sweater (and love the price tag of $39), but some readers have complained that it’s too tight on their arms. I haven’t noticed a problem, but if you tend to notice tightness in arms, be forewarned! If you already have this sweater and love it, it now comes in a gorgeous red which would be perfect for holiday parties, an olive green, and a pretty plum color (in addition to the grey, blush, and black).

And if you look at the colors in the scarf, you see it would also look great paired with an oatmeal colored top, a red top, a turquoise top, an olive green top, a blush colored top, and a mustard top! You really would be hard pressed to go wrong!!!

I feel like I must wear a cute plaid scarf with a white top today. All six of these looks are so cute!
Susan Jeffries says

Shay Shull says
I just love when you make those flat lays come to life!!
Samantha says
My favorite outfit is #1! I have those cargo skinny pants and love them as much as you do! I also have and love your pajama jeans and your denim jacket and wear both of them all the time. Buying the scarf right now.
Megan says
That scarf is my favorite in my closet. This post just reminded me that my favorite white tee is looking a bit dingy. Time for a new one!

Lindsay says
#5 is my favorite for a night out, but #3 is my favorite for everyday wear. I have the pajama jeans, the baby blardigan, and the scarf. Are the UGGs really worth it? I’ve never paid that much for shoes.
Sheaffer says
Hey, Lindsay! I think they are TOTALLY worth it, and I live in a climate that isn’t even cold a majority of the year. They are soooo much better than regular UGGs because of the slim profile and the little bitty wedge. I even wear them around the house all the time in winter. I absolutely love them!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Whitney Pegram says
Obsessed with ALL these outfits!!!
Gina says
Love these outfits! I tend to feel so swallowed up whenever I wear a scarf like that tho. Have a blanket scarf that I cut in half (your tip) and still feel it’s too much on me. Wish I could overcome that feeling as I always end up taking them off before going out the door.
April says
Love all these outfits. The twist with the camo is probably my favorite. But, I’m torn about getting those or the skinny cargos….
Sheaffer says
Hey, April! I would get the skinny cargos! I keep reaching for them again and again! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Chasity says
#5 with #2 at a close 2nd!
cassie {hi sugarplum} says
Every last outfit is darling! And so stinking cute on you!! That scarf is perfection, and the cargo pants the most comfy ever!
Julie Bradford says
LOVE them all but I was thinking #4 was my favorite until I saw #6…. I’m all about grabbing a hat and some converse… I love the white and the gray together and the MUST HAVE denim jacket (that I don’t have..eeeek) I need to get on that.. I bought lots of items you recommended from the anniversary sale and am so pleased that I just need to go ahead and pull the trigger!!!! 🙂 the blardigan and Natori bras are a MUST NOW!!!!!!!!
Sheaffer says
Hey, Julie! Yes…TOTAL MUST with those two items!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Stacey says
Curious about the white tee…is it see thru? Do you need a cami under it?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Stacey! If you look at the text under Outfit #3, I talk about the answer to this question because a lot of people had it! I would copy and paste it here, but it has links in it, so it won’t copy and paste appropriately. Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂 Oh, and if you are talking about the white peplum tee, it doesn’t require a cami. Sometimes I wear one with it and sometimes I don’t!
Morgan says
LOVE all of the outfits, but I had a question for the white tee fans. How do you keep them from yellowing in the under arms? I love white tees but reserve them for special occasions or just buy the cheap one’s every year. Is it a wash it after every use type of thing?
Thanks!!
Sheaffer says
Hey, Morgan! I’ve never experienced this. Can anybody else comment?
Jean says
I know the answer to this! Yellow armpit stains are caused by a chemical in antiperspirant. If you use deodorant only, voila – no yellow stains!
Sheaffer says
Oooh! Thanks for the tip, Jean!
Morgan says
Jean you’re a lifesaver, how have I never known that? I’ll be switching today and ordering a brand new white long sleeve for this fall.
Thank you both!!
Bethany says
I love this because solid tee are seriously my favorite!
Lea Culp says
Oh, I LOVE Nordstrom and they are a bad habit for mine for sure! Love all your outfits and thoroughly enjoyed stopping by. See you tomorrow for What’s Up!
Lindsay says
I ordered the slim profile Uggs and the pajama jeans… I got the Uggs in my normal 8.5 but the left one is super tight. Do you normally size up in these? I love them but don’t want to be dying to take them off since they were $$$. The right one is comfortable without socks but would be snug with socks. Did I get a wonky pair?? Also, ladies get these jeans… they are amazing!! So comfortable and actually have a zipper longer than 2 inches… I’m 42… I need some zipper length 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Lindsay! I got my regular size in the UGGs…they do feel tight at first, but the lining on the inside will pack down and loosen up a bit. So glad you love the jeans! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Bev says
I have the BP ribbed cardigan and it’s a beautiful tan color that I just love but the sleeves are soooooo long and not narrow enough to push up and stay up. I have to triple fold them and it’s making me rethink whether I should return it. This does not look like the case with yours. Did you find the sleeves to be extra long?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Bev! I don’t think this particular cardigan ever came in a tan color (I only ever saw it in grey and mustard), so I’m wondering if it’s the exact same cardigan. I don’t have this problem with mine. It sounds like to me you might never reach for it, so I would return it! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Bev says
I believe you are correct, I think it’s a different cardigan. You’re advice is right on. As much as I love the color and style, I think the sleeves would annoy me to no end. It’s going back! Thanks fir your response.
