Last weekend was a blast! I visited my sister-in-law in Colorado for her 30th birthday. We spent a day in Denver, went to one too many breweries, and then traveled up to Copper Mountain to ski.
The mountains were INSANE! So beautiful. Here in Wisconsin we see a few drumlins and small hills, but the mountains in Colorado honestly look like a billboard or as if I am looking at a green screen. We rented this adorable cabin that slept 12 and had views of the largest ski run on the mountain. I attempted to ski for the first time and was able to get down one hill, wahoo! #SmallVictory Although it’s winter, the weather in Colorado it was a bit of a surprise. I was able to wear a light sweater and moto jacket and be completely comfortable!
Living here in Wisconsin, you cannot have enough sweaters. Basic ones, comfy ones, and like the one I have featured below, statement sweaters! One day it could be negative 10 and others it could feel like a Summer day at 35 degrees.
I found this puppy on Black Friday and have worn it a handful of times! Which for me, is shocking. I usually only wear items once or twice. I paired it with a fun, puffy hat I got last year on whim.
