I almost ordered this sweater a couple months ago. I had it in my cart and then eventually deleted it BUT I came back around to it when searching for a new cream sweater and I am SOOO glad I did. I can’t say enough good things about it.. perfect length in the front, super soft, really warm, and the slit in the back is the perfect size (I didn’t want it to come up too far and show skin). It comes in a red and a stripe version too. All I have been wanting to wear lately are neutrals and I was excited to trade in some of my Christmas-y scarves for some light colored basics. I ordered this one shown above and this light colored plaid and this neutral herringbone. I was so pleased with all of them when they arrived–& now I’m wearing one of the three just about everyday (guilty)! If you’re in a little cold weather slump then order one to brighten up your wardrobe. They certainly have helped me get dressed and out the door on these chillllly days!
We got our first snow in Kentucky last night and we’re supposed to get oodles more later this week. I have to admit, all I am thinking as I type that is.. gosh I better stop and get some more rose´ tomorrow. #snowstormessentials Stay warm & safe!
Growing up I never liked the color red. In the past few years I’ve had one [maybe two, at the most] red items in my closet that I usually pull out a couple weeks before Christmas. However, this year–I am LOVING a bright, bold, festive red! You know how they say your taste buds change as you grow up? Well, my birthday was yesterday so I’m thinking this must prove to be true in terms of shopping tastes too! I keep seeing red items show up in my online shopping cart and I cant wait to wear them all December long. I’m thinking I’ll love pairing it with bright pink in February too!
For me, Christmas day has always been a casual day spent with family. We spend way too much time on the couch opening gifts and go back and forth to the kitchen way too many times to grab snacks so I always like to be cozy and comfy. This sweater is just that and it comes in six other basic colors too. A classic turtleneck is always good to have in your closet. It’s 50% off right now too! The beauty of this scarf is that it goes with so many things! I’ve already worn it here and here and it’s half off right now too with code ‘BRSAVE‘. Scoop two up–one for a gift and one for yourself! 😉
Oh my goodness–I am so excited to be writing this! Doing something with fashion has always been a dream of mine and I have wanted to make that a reality by creating a blog for some time now. I am thrilled that it has come to life! I started showing my daily outfits on my Instagram a while back (which I still plan to do) and Weekend Wishing will be an extension of that. I want to share tid bits of my life and oodles of outfits with you all in the future and I hope that you will follow along!
I don’t know what type of person I would be if I kicked off this journey without some huge thank you’s too. Thank you all for caring enough about my outfits to follow along on Instagram. That may seem silly to some but to me it’s nothing of the sort–without your encouragement I wouldn’t be able to be posting this now! Thank you to my friends and family for letting me chat about the blog time and time again and for urging me to do this. And most importantly thank you to my boyfriend, Ethan. He’s the best. He’s already spent lots of time behind the camera lens for me and plenty of nights in my closet/office (tour of that coming soon!) at the computer rather than on the couch watching football. So, in short–I’m really grateful for you all!
Ok, and just one last thing before we get on to the clothes! 🙂 You wouldn’t be viewing this website right now if it weren’t for Rebecca Redding. Working with a graphic designer and photographer who is not only very talented but also understands your vision is a blessing.
So–this outfit above.. I knew I wanted my first outfit post to be a skirt and top. These are my favorite items to buy because I think they lead to so many options. Don’t get me wrong–I love a cute dress, but with a skirt and top you can always mix them into other outfits. For example, this chunky grey sweater is going to have a totally different vibe when I pair it with dark denim, a plaid scarf, and a casual tote next. I am so into leather this season and when I found this little mini I knew I had to have it. I love the texture and the price point is good– it’s not a closet staple piece so it wont break the bank! If you order, I would size up one. And last but not least, these over-the-knee boots are my one of my very favorite items I’ve ordered in a while! They have the cutest gold zippers on the inside and back, have a great heel height, and are actually really comfy. They’re on sale too! I think this outfit would be great for date night with your guy or for cocktails with your girlfriends–and let’s be honest, we all need those kinda nights!
