The Buy
The perfect two-piece sweater set for winter. It features a long sleeve crew neck top paired with a split hem midi skirt. We love that it’s cute, comfy, and warm, and can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Bonus: It’s available in some great seasonal colorways like almond white + red white.
Sunday night, I got to see Wyatt Johnston’s hat trick IRL. In case you didn’t know — when a hat trick occurs, the team will usually mail back your hat if you toss one on the ice. Just make sure to write or pin your name and mailing address inside — otherwise, it gets donated to The Dallas Stars Foundation. Maybe worth losing a hat?
