It’s a special Sunday edition of Shopping with Sheaffer and Shay!
Why Sunday? Because what I have to say will only last a few days. On Tuesday, I went to Gap to make a return when I saw that my Gap store was upside down with boxes and new signs and displays. I asked one of the employees what was going on and they said they were about to display all of their new winter line this weekend with a HUGE sale! Well…being the Gap lover that I am, I asked if I could take a peak inside the boxes…and people…I was so excited with what I saw!! I called Sheaffer and we planned an emergency Shopping with Sheaffer and Shay because you ladies need to take advantage of this online sale and all of this new goodness!
This offer ends on Tuesday!!!
Thank you Gap brand!
And look what else…
I shopped and received Gap cash back to spend between December 3 and December 8…just in time for the holidays!!
I truly did feel like I was shopping with you ladies :). I kept thinking, “what would my girls like?”. That’s the whole point of Shopping with Sheaffer and Shay…we shop together but we shop for things we think YOU would love! You are real women…moms, students, working, stay at home, retired…real women. And I like to show practical, affordable, comfy clothes for real women. Let’s go…
Oh.my.goodness.
I bought 4 of them. I have no shame. When I put it on, I thought to myself, “well, this is the shirt I’m going to wear every single day.” This is hands-down, without a doubt, the softest and best fitting Gap shirt I have ever purchased. This shirt comes in several colors (and both petite and tall sizes) and I bought these three striped colors and then a grey solid (click here for the other solid colors).
Love, love, love!
(I’m wearing this tank underneath all of my looks today, these Gap jeans and my new favorite wedge booties.)
And then what did I go and do…I added the world’s softest scarf to the shirt…
The softest scarf. Ever. I went ahead and did a little Christmas shopping for some girls in my life because…scarves are the PERFECT Christmas gift to give!!
Speaking of scarves…I got reallllly excited when I saw this one! A few weeks ago, you ladies commented about how much you loved this one…
…that I wore to the pumpkin patch. I told you girls that it was from Gap two years ago…and they’ve brought it back! What are the odds?!?!
And it’s not only in red…it’s in 6 other colors too! Two years later, and I’m still wearing mine all the time (along with my new favorite moto jacket)…
By the way…the shirt in that scarf picture is this one…
…I love the zipper on the shoulders :).
After the shirts…the best thing happened to me…
Yeah. I bought the navy one.
I have approximately 4,962 long sleeve shirts in my closet. And now, I have this awesome puffer vest to make them all a little more fun. (And check out the price! With the 35% off discount, it will be the cheapest outerwear you’ll find all season! Gifts for girls in your life????)
What will I wear under my awesome new puffer vest??? The supersoft Gap tee, of course!
That same soft scarf looks good with the tee (even if the pic is upside down!).
And so does this cozy knit infinity scarf! (Also available in 6 other vibrant colors!)
And let’s pause a quick moment show off exactly how awesome my booties are. They are the most comfortable bootie I have in my closet. Period. I am so happy my mama bought them for me on my birthday. If you bought the wedges that I went on and on about over the summer, you must buy these! They are just as comfy…but in bootie form! (And they also come in two other colors!)
I moved on from tees to sweaters…because nothing says cozy winter day like a knit sweater and cords.
Well…maybe adding a scarf on top says it more…
…with a fun hat…
…or two :).
The cozy knit sweater comes in 10 different colors!
And the cords come in 11 different colors!
I also really liked these two sweaters too…
This striped sweater (also in 5 other colors) with those legging cords again but this time, in a great wine color.
And this Cowlneck Sweater (in 7 colors) also looks great with those legging cords!
I love this moto jacket. Look how polished it looks? And timeless!
Love it.
And it comes in both tall or petite to fit every frame. A moto jacket in a herringbone pattern…that is just so cool.
Because every holiday season, you need a good pair of pajamas :).
I just love shopping with YOU and Sheaffer! I love you ladies so much and am truly thankful for all of you!
And come back tomorrow for more BIG news! This is an exciting season ladies!!
XOXO

Yay! I love when Gap brings out the red bags and Starbucks brings out the red cups!! Bring on the holidays! Are the shirts you tried on running true to size? I like how they look a little big/comfy on you. Are you wearing smalls?
April Parrish says
Loved all your awesome finds at GAP!!! Really like the puffer vest! Happy Sunday! 🙂
Becky says
Thanks for this post….loved it! I had some things sitting in my GAP shopping bag, and added the cream cable knit hat & the first red stripped shirt you had on….two perfect items! I have been on the hunt for some colorful cords…..but can't decide…..the GAP cords or the cords from Nordstrom you wrote about the other day….? Which would you recommend? I don't have a Nordstrom nearby to try on both before deciding. Thanks!
Jodi says
I am heading over to Gap now to get the most out of my birthday gift card! So many cute styles!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay ladies! I'm so glad you're excited about this too! The shirts all ran true to size. I am wearing smalls in all of the shirts (my normal size). As for the cords…the price on the Gap cords are really good, so if you're not sure how often you'll wear them or if you want TWO colors, get the Gap. The price is just too good! Happy Shopping!

Hi! I LOVE everything you just posted! Is the 35% off available in store or just online? Can't wait to hear about tomorrow's BIG news! 🙂
Elaine~ Honey Pie Accessories says
I wasn't sure about that first shirt when you pictured it on the models, but I love it on you! It looks short on them and long on you! I've really debated a puffer vest, because it's so late 90s, but I love how stylish it made your jeans and shirt look, so once again y'all have convinced me!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
The sale is online only!! Have fun!
Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
Okay…the puffer vest is so unexpectedly FANTASTIC. And you in a cozy hat? TOO CUTE! Your booties are fabulous, and that first striped shirt is SO YOU. AND THIS STUFF IS ALL ON SALE? And I can't believe I'm saying this, but you NEED that moto jacket. Yes, I know you technically already have one, but this one is EXTRA FANTASTIC! I've gotta go….time to shop…..

Liz says
Love love LOVE all your finds! My gosh. I want them all. Now to convince my husband that I need them too… 🙂
Bekah Bruce says
I am also a Gap addict and I am DYING over here with all the amazing CUTENESS you just splashed across my computer screen. Mama's on a budget but Santa is getting a list chocked full of Gap apparel! Thanks for doing the leg work! Can I was what size your tops are and also the size of the bottoms? I am a four and want to know if the leggings especially are true to size.
Can't wait to see what Shaeffer finds!

Perfect! I'm getting some Christmas shopping done early. Thanks for the tips. The first striped shirt is adorable. I'll have to add it to my closet too 🙂
On a different note, a while back you posted about teeth whitening. I remember you mentioning that whatever you use doesn't make your teeth sensitive. I've tried to scour the blog but I can't find it again. Can you re-share??
Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
Everything I bought was true to size. If you're a four, buy a four. If you're a small in tops, buy a small. I didn't find that anything ran too big or too small!
lilyv says
I was just in the Gap yesterday and bought the dark grey long sleeve shirt you bought! Just ordered the navy striped. You're right – it's so soft and comfy.
Love your blog btw.

Just bought $200 worth of stuff for $108! I've really been LOVING your blog. My GAP camo pants are the best thing I've ever invested in! 🙂
Anne Harvey says
Haha. I could feel the excitement in this post, so I read it as fast as I could for some reason. Haha. I'm now going to go back and read it more slowly. 🙂

Olivia says

How does the shoulder zip tee compare to the LOFT one? They look similar. I love the LOFT one.
Mix and Match Mama says
The Loft tee feels a little more like a sweater and this tee feels more like a tee. The Gap one isn't as thick…more like a basic tee with a zipper on the side.
Sarah Powell says
I am in heaven with all these outfits you posted!!! Like "teacher" heaven! I am always trying to find new things to wear for my job! THank you for sharing!!!! I only wish they had that one yellow striped shirt you have on online!
Ashley @ Fancy Ashley says
I will take one of everything! What a fun post! Loving the stripes and the vest for sure! Headed to go do some shopping online, right now! xoxo!
Brooke says
I love everything but I especially love the moto jacket! So fun! I want it as fitted as it looks on you. Did you take an XS or S for it? Thank you!

I love the pink shirt with the thin gray stripes. I have looked and looked and can't find the link for it. I think it looks so great with the pink worlds softest scarf!!

You are so cute!! Thanks for all the style inspiration! I am loving GAP lately, too. A jewelry question for you… what brand are the teardrop/stone earrings that you wear? I'd love a jewelry post… and a make-up post… and a favorite things post… and a gift idea post! Your blog is quickly becoming one of my FAVES!
Mix and Match Mama says
I wear mostly Stella & Dot earrings (a post on that Friday!!!), as for the jacket, I bought a small! And they might have already sold out of the pink and white stripe…it will be there if they still have some!
Natalie says
What an amazing post! Wow. You rock ALL of those items so well. SO gorgeous. Love your lipcolor, too, what is that?? Now I might have to save me some bucks and head to Gap asap!
Anonymous says
Hi Shay! In order to get the $25 for every $50 at Gap, does the $50 have to be before the 35% discount or after the discount??
Mix and Match Mama says
The Gap cash is given after the discount is applied!

Do you happen to know if the cable knit sweater you tried on was the "neon coral"? I LOVE the color you're wearing, but it looks brighter and more pink than any of the colors on the Gap website. Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
That cable knit sweater was neon color but I didn't think it was too bright. It was more hot pink than neon.
Anonymous says
Thank you! The neon coral online looks more peachy instead of hot pink. So I wasn't sure if that was it. Love the hot pink! 🙂

Gap has some totally cute stuff out right now, Love it!!!! I need that puffer vest. I love puffer vests 🙂

I just found your blog and I love it!!! I have one question. Where did you get your Red Sox phone case? I have to have one.
Begina says
Which cords do you like the best, the gap brand or the ones from Nordstrom?
Mix and Match Mama says
I like the Nordstrom cords a lot but the Gap cords have a great price!

I had to come back and thank you for the recommendation of your favorite shirt, the Gap supersoft stripe shirt. I got mine today and I am SO pleasantly surprised. It is so soft and pretty!! Your blog is quickly becoming one of my favorites!! Thank you so much. I ordered pink and navy stripe and I now I want to order more! I SO wish they had the navy vest in my size I would have gotten it too. OH and I almost forgot, I got the pink softest every scarf too and LOVE it!
