1)
You're about to be seeing A LOT of THIS baby right here.
Yep, she's my new denim shirt.
I brought her home with me last weekend, and I love her.
Her name is Suzie.
(Just to be clear, J Crew Factory didn't name her, I did. Just in case there was any confusion.)
;)
Suzie is a tunic.
At least, I think that's what she is called.
She only buttons 1/2-3/4 of the way down, and although slim fitting, Suzie does have some room.
The fit is SUPER cute and slimming. Score.
She's going to be GREAT with leggings and boots for fall and winter.
(Better than my other denim shirt because Suzie is longer.)
She's going to be EVEN BETTER with white jeans and brightly colored accessories for spring.
And don't even get me started on how cute Suzie is going to look paired with colored skinny jeans with leopard flats and colored denim shorts with wedges.
I'm telling ya, Suzie is DARLING and she is going to make me look good.
Click HERE to check out the details on Suzie. You'll be happy to see she is on sale!
The denim shirt I got last year is also from J Crew Factory, and I adore her too.
Let's call her Jane.
They sold out and didn't have her for awhile, but now she is back in stock.
Jane is more of the "traditional" denim shirt.
She buttons all the way down and is a little less faded.
One of my first posts was with Jane.
Look HERE if you want to take a walk down memory lane or if you want to see how great a denim shirt can look with a pop of color (hot pink denim shorts)!
When you look at the picture, please make sure to notice how tan and skinny I am.
Ahhhh. Those were the days.
(Sidenote: It's about time for me to shed my winter coat and start getting ready for summer again. Ugh.)
Click HERE to see the shirt with white jeans, and click HERE to see the shirt 4 different ways.
Or just look here:
I'm telling you, if you don't own a denim shirt, I don't know if we can be friends anymore.
You really do NEED one.
I get it, I was skeptical too. When I Jane last year, I was unsure.
I spent more on it than I normally would on 1 shirt (and I even had a little bit of buyer's remorse at first), but man have I gotten my $$ worth out of this baby.
She will become a total workhorse in your wardrobe and will be worth every single penny.
I mean, consider the fact that last August I wasn't sure if I would even wear Jane,
and here I am buying Suzie.

Pinterest told me to buy one, and now I'm telling you to buy one.
I know I'm bossy, but just do it!
;)
And just in case you're new to the blog...here's a pic from the archives.
Yep, that's a 11 year old me rocking some chambray.
I paired it with some pleated white bermuda shorts (nice choice), a pink leather belt from Guess that had silver hearts on it (LOVED this belt), blue plaid socks scrunched down just so, and my leather keds. Oh yes ma'm I did.
2) GAP is having a sale on their kids, toddler, and baby lines.
Man, I am a total SUCKER for a GAP sale, especially when it comes to dressing my little man.
My little guy dresses almost exclusively in GAP, and I am able to do that because I ALWAYS take advantage of their sales.
Like, always.
Here's some of the toddler boy stuff I'm eyeing for my little guy.
(I was having technical difficulties last night and was unable to create a collage, so you're just going to have to click to see.)
A patchwork anorak HERE. (Carter has the chambray one from last season and I throw it on him ALL the time.) Imagine how cute this patchwork one would be with khaki pants,
jeans, or khaki shorts.
An awesome toddler blazer HERE (would be so cute in a family picture).
A pair of darling plaid shorts HERE. I think Carter wears plaid shorts 6/7 days in the summer. They look so cute with polos, plain t-shits, or graphic ts!
Some super cute canvas shoes HERE (I'm thinking Easter).
Oh! Funny story...
I had Carter up at my school this year and he was wearing some khaki jeans, a grey v-neck, and his denim anorak. He was looking super cute, and a girl that I work with saw him and said
"Sheaffer! It looks like Pinterest told HIM to also!" :)
I got such a kick out of that!
Anyway, GAP is having their semi-annual sale right now, so click HERE to take advantage.No code needed, different pieces of clothing are different % off (up to 40% on some items!),
and they are priced as marked.
Just head over HERE and click around and find some great deals for your little ones!
Remember, the sale is for kids, toddlers, and babies.

I got a facebook message from a sweet reader (Anna) this week telling me about something awesome.
Anna, her sister, and her best friend started a ministry
through their church they've named Bloom.
Their mission is to collect new and
gently used formal dresses and accessories as well as men's dress
clothes. They are renovating their old youth house into a "boutique" where
kids can borrow from their collection for prom, homecoming, banquets, and
the like!
The goal is for everyone to leave the shop feeling cherished
and beautiful!
LOVE this idea!
All of the information can be found on their
Facebook page at www.facebook.com/BloomFCC.
All donations are tax deductible, and what a great way to empty up some closet space! Also, on their grand opening March 1, they will be giving away a Lenny and Eva bracelet
to someone who likes their page! Win, win!!
Go check them out and see if you can help this unique ministry!
Have a great weekend everybody.
Don't forget to go HERE to find out how to enter to win a $100 gift card to one of my fav stores!
p.s. Houston we have a problem.
All of my collages that I've created are experiencing technical difficulties right now.
So, if you notice random pictures on some of my other posts, I have no idea what the problem is.
I'm working to get it fixed and hopefully all will be restored very soon! :)
