SCARF ALERT! SCARF ALERT! SCARF ALERT!
We all know that the beloved fringe scarf sold out. And we were all greatly saddened. :(
I know that sounds dramatic, but it's true. Ha!
Well, GREAT NEWS. It's back!
Click HERE for our favorite scarf IN NEW COLORS!
The first version had a larger waffle weave,
but I feel confident I'm going to love this one just as much!
It's so SO soft, and it styles itself!
WooHoo!
Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
If you missed out the first time, don't let it happen again!

Blardigan Review
I've been getting a CRAZY amount of questions about the blardigan.
I addressed most of them on facebook yesterday, but for those of you that aren't on facebook, I thought you might want to see the answers. If you've already read this, then just move along to #3! :)
1) It washes really well. REALLY well.
2) I wear it with jeans AND leggings.
Yes, it totally covers my hiney when I'm wearing leggings.
3) I promise it doesn't look like a robe. The fitted arms are what makes it look like it's street clothes.
4) Lots of people think they are going to be too short or too tall for it.
I have a friend at work that is 5'1" that wears it and loves it.
I have a bloggy friend that is 5'9" that wears it and loves it.
5) Yes, I wear it out of the house ALL OF THE TIME. But I wear it at home even more.
6) I understand it's expensive, but I think it's worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY.
In fact, when I bought it I wondered if it was worth the price tag, but now I'm SERIOUSLY considering ordering a 2nd one. Because yes, it's just that awesome.
Hope these answers help all of you that are on the fence. As one reader said,
"If you're on the fence about the blardigan, GET OFF OF IT!"

The Clean Cuffed MUST HAVE jeans are back in stock!
I'm not sure how many there are, but lots of sizes appeared on the Nordstrom website again yesterday.
Get while the gettin' is good!
Click HERE.
These are the jeans I wear the most out of all of my jeans. When I wear them I cuff them at the bottom (in a clean cuff, not a messy cuff like the picture). They look AWESOME with flats, with wedges (both sandal wedges and bootie wedges), and with heels.
You'll love 'em. I promise.
AND YOU CAN'T BEAT $34.80.
For size reference, I'm a size 4 and I wear a 28 in these.

It's Time to Get Pin-Spired
It's January 3rd?
Wait.
HOLD. UP.
What's my name?
Where am I?
What year is it?
HOW IN THE WORLD IS IT JANUARY 3rd?!?
More importantly,
HOW IN THE HECK IS IT 2014?
Well,whatever day it is, it's time for us to "GET PIN-SPIRED"!
As always, I am partnering up with Shay at Mix and Match Family and Mel at The Larson Lingo and hoping that all of you will join in the fun! 
You can grab the code on my sidebar!
So today I was PINPIRED by black, brown, and grey.
You know I've talked about black, brown AND GREY together before...
Well, I saw this picture on Pinterest and decided this was THE EASIEST WAY to mix the colors.
Black Dress + Grey Leggings + Brown Boots = TOTAL AWESOMENESS
Here's my inspiration.
via
So, I took all 3 main pieces, and I put together the same outfit.
Why?
Everybody say it with me....
Because Pinterest Told Me To!
Easy Peasy.
Black tunic HERE
There is also a plain grey and a black and grey wide stripe that would be perfect.
(For size reference, I'm wearing a small.)
Cora Earrings HERE
Grey MUST HAVE leggings HERE
Miz Mooz cognac wedge boots HERE
When I wore it to church on Christmas Eve, I actually ended up styling it with THIS scarf.
The lighting in my bathroom isn't the best for showing off the differences between the black and the grey, but there is a significant difference which gives a nice contrast.
I looked back through my previous posts, and I found several other black, brown, and grey looks.
(This exact tunic is sold out. But THIS one is the same maker with big bold black and grey stripes.)
I also really like THIS one (again, same tunic...just different colors).
I'm telling you, you need at least one of these tunics! I would love this with grey or black leggings and brown boots!
I love all of the below black and grey looks, and I'm really liking the middle look with the pop of yellow!
Click HERE for the grey and yellow tunic. 40% off and only 2 sizes left.
Other two pieces sold out before the post went live. Sorry!
But don't worry, I found some other fantastic options!
Click HERE for another long tunic choice.
I love how this one has a cowl neck.
THIS is new and you now how I love a stripe.
It comes in black, grey, and coral.
I found some great Anthropologie options too!
This one is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. Click HERE for the swing dress. Love the elbow patches.
I know you are DYING Andrea McAnally.
I was afraid it might look too maternity, but the reviews are fantastic and
totally put my mind at ease about the whole maternity thing.
I can't see myself wearing it with flats, but I think it would look AMAZING with leggings and boots!
The below grey is a tiny chevron print, but there is also a black option that is a bolder stripe.
Almost all sizes are on back order, but some reviewers say that theirs shipped out before the expected date.
Here is one review on the above dress.
I just knew this dress was gonna push me into the maternity ward but not so! I could wear this comfy dress everyday and yet its freaking adorable. Definitely not an item that will make it to the sale rack at this price.
Excellent Fit & length
Runs TTS:
Fits well under cardigans and winter coats.
Here is another:
BUY IT. Buy it in both colors. I ordered the black online, thanks to all these rave review and decided to order the gray the minute I tried it on. This dress is absolutely adorable. Although in the picture it could look like one of the all too famous maternity-type dresses, it is certainly not. I am a size 10 in pants and dresses and a medium in tops, and went with the medium. Elbow sleeves are adorable. My sister has already tried to wear it!
And here are 3 more options from Anthro:
click HERE for the striped short sleeve tunic with pockets (LOVE the pockets)
click HERE for the black tunic dress
click HERE for the inkstick tunic with pleated ruffle (my goodness I love the ruffle)
And for one more option, I found this dress on the Goodnight Macaroon site.
It would be a super easy way to wear the color combo.
Grey dress, black leggings, brown boots OR Black dress, grey leggings, brown boots.
Click HERE for the turtleneck sweater dress in black or grey.
(Conner, this dress is MADE for you!)

It's a FLASH SALE at GOODNIGHT MACAROON!
I knew you girls would want to know about this FLASH SALE because it includes several of my favorite items from their site. When I featured one of their peplum coats last week on facebook, it went off of FLASH sale within just a couple of hours. So, just a heads up that you might not want to wait!
Also, Goodnight Macaroon is boutique sizing, so you will most likely order at least 1 size up in items.
Check their sizing guide to know for sure.
I have 2 shirts that are mediums and they are perfect on me.
Here are my favorites that are on sale:
turtleneck layered sweater HERE
black fur vest HERE
(This is on it's way to me, so you are going to be seeing it on the blog very soon! I've already been pinning inspiration!)
blue and grey layered sweater HERE
Love love love this!
grey or black collar layered cardigan HERE
And they have 2 different amazing coats on FLASH sale too!
black or coral boyfriend coat HERE
cream shearling moto jacket HERE
Are you guys in love with Goodnight Macaroon as much as I am?!?
Cause I'm in love.
Head over heels.
In love.
Okay, that's it for today girls!
I have some homework for you:
1) Link up right now for Pin-spired!
2) Put up some pics of yourself on instagram wearing your Pinterest Told Me To finds and make sure you hashtag
#ptmt.
3) Have an AMAZING weekend!
xoxo,
Sheaffer :)
