Feel Good Friday
Happy Friday, friends! I'm off to my first basketball game as the cheer coach this evening. It's going to be different for sure because in the state of Kansas they are not allowing spectators during the December & January months, so the gym is going to be pretty empty!
what we've been up to...
It has been such a great week here for me! I was out of school Monday through Wednesday & so enjoyed having that extra time off! I spent the week settling into the house I am renting + finishing up all my Christmas shopping & decorating for Christmas. It has been wonderful! But, I have to say, I was SO ready to see my students again!
In case you missed it, this week I shared a big post where I compiled a whole bunch of Christmas gift ideas! You can check it out by clicking here.
friday favs...
Taking advantage of the chilly weather to post about some darling sweaters I found recently!
My favorite flavor of ice cream when I was younger was sherbert. & not just any sherbert, it had to be green. SO. GOOD. & now I honestly can't even remember the last time I had it. Growing up is sad. But this sweater brings me joy! The bright color is so fun & so different from what I'm typically drawn to. The stitching is great & makes up a very good quality top. Fits a little bit oversized & it comes in a whole bunch of other colors in case you're not as much of a green sherbert lover as I am. ;)

Okay this brick red striped sweater speaks for itself & really doesn't even need me to tell you how great it is because I mean come on just look at it -- it's darling! It definitely fits oversized & the neck is a little bit wide. The material isn't the softest that I've ever felt, but it's definitely not itchy. Plus the cuteness was worth it for me!

Hehehe yes, more stripes! I've really been into neutrals lately & this one is perfect. I will say that it fits very short, like would honestly be almost a cropped sweater on some people. I have a super short abdomen, so it fits me really well & lays right at my hips. Even though it's cream, it's not see through at all -- the stitching & material is very nice!

Okay I saw this frilly-sleeved sweater on some other influencers & thought it was too cute not to try it myself & if I'm being 100% honest, I'm a little bit conflicted. The material is great & I would say it fits true to size. I would say that my style is pretty subtle & this might be a little too 'out there' for me? I just feel a little bit like a stegosaurus (that dinosaur with spikes on its back lol) & ever since I had that thought I can't get it out of my head & can't unsee it. I still think this sweater could be super cute, but I don't think it's for me. Still wanted to share just in case you're interested! But I think it's important that I'm honest & authentic in my reviews.

The majority of my closet consists of neutrals so when I found this soft pink turtleneck, I knew I needed to try it to branch out & I'm so stinking glad I did! Walmart consistently surprises me with the price & quality of their clothing & this piece is no different. Great booty coverage & incredibly soft. Comes in a few other colors as well!
