Happy Fashion Friday!
How was your week? I don't know about you, but it felt nice to fall back into routine this week after the holidays. I love all the holiday stuff, but regular life is pretty nice as well.
This weekend I'm going over to one of my former co-workers house for a pot luck dinner. I'm making my delicious Four Cheese and Spinach lasagna <--- Need to post the recipe! I've been looking forward to seeing some friends I haven't seen in a while, so that should be fun.
For Fashion Friday I'm featuring a new cream/ winter white sweater I got for Christmas from my MIL. She is basically responsible for all of the cutest items in my closet. I am so blessed.
I love wearing cream in the winter as it seems so bright and airy when the skies are so cold. I'm much more likely to choose it than basic black.
The sweater came from LOFT and it's such a nice addition to my closet. I love the length and how it will go with so many things. I've basically been wearing it on repeat. You could even use it as a laying piece.
I really love how it's long and flowy without losing shape or being frumpy.
To winterize the look I added my dark wash denim jeggings from White House Black Market. These were my absolute favorite purchase of last fall.
I also added my favorite Ralph Lauren brown boots. I know these are a couple seasons old at this point, but they were a splurge and look just as good as the day I got them. I swear every time I wear them I get a compliment on them. Now that's a good pair of boots! I firmly believe that some items are worth the investment.
For accessories I layered my Mom's diamond pendant with a very current tassel necklace. I'm not sure I will ever grow tired of the double necklace look.
If you don't like the winter white the sweater also comes in black, the gorgeous blue color, grey and green. It's a fabulous piece that will easily carry into spring.
Happy shopping and I hope you weekend is amazing.

It's beautiful; the way it flows is incredible, and I Love that you used your mama's diamond pendant. I got some exercise clothes for Christmas which was wonderful!
Kristy from Southern In Law says
This is such a cute outfit! I never wear white (because I'm so klutzy it's almost guaranteed I'd spill something) but this makes me want to buy a white sweater for Autumn!
JulieWunder says
haha! I'm so klutzy too... but somehow I make it work.
Edye says
Such a cute, yet simple look! I need that lasagna recipe ASAP! It's hard to find some vegetarian friendly ones!! 😉
JulieWunder says
I'll have to get on posting/ photographing it then! 🙂
Melissa says
So cute! I love the necklace too!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Melissa!

heather @Lunging Through Life says
LOVE! I got a whiteish tunic sweater for Christmas and have yet to wear it! Maybe this weekend I'll wear it!
JulieWunder says
You should! Stay warm!
Kimberly Hatting says
Absolutely, white is a color 😉 I also wear it year-round.....I was elated when white skinny jeans came back in style!
JulieWunder says
I know! So cute!
Mary Beth Jackson says
Cook look! I love winter white! Lucky you your MIL shops well! TGIF!
JulieWunder says
I know! So lucky! She gets me the best stuff!
Lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I always tend to go for dark colors in the winter months but I guess if you are wearing a sweater it has to be winter right? So you can get away with a white one.
JulieWunder says
Exactly 🙂
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
I love this whole look! Might have to put something similar together today.
JulieWunder says
You totally should!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
Love me some winter white! Right now, though I'm mostly in gray, burgundy, and black, just because I already have those colors and I'm pretty much always in outerwear.
JulieWunder says
Those are great colors too!
Patricia @Sweet and Strong says
I would much rather be in white or cream in the winter than black. And my MIL is a great shopper as well. I love being gifted items I wouldn't normally pick out myself.
JulieWunder says
Me too! Guess we married well :-).
Dan Steadman says
Winter white...ok...
As far as Christmas clothes....a few Cubs 2016 World Series Champions shirts and a few Star Wars retro shirts
JulieWunder says
That's a good shirt!
Debbie@debbiethisandthat.com says
Love the sweater and those boots are gorgeous!! Have fun at your pot-luck get together!!
JulieWunder says
It got cancelled because of the snow! Booo! Oh well. Hope you are staying safe and warm.
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
I love that look! Guess I need to head over to LOFT!
JulieWunder says
Yes! They have good deals right now.
