Beth’s Weekend Vibes Outfit
Half-zip tops are everywhere this year and I have snapped up quite a few from my favorite brands. This Luxe Cashmere Blend Colorblock Top from Chico’s really speaks to my style with its bold color-blocked stripes. Comfortable straight-leg jeans from Madewell are the perfect weekend go-to bottoms.

And keeping the blue from my top down to my toes, I have my new favorite loafers, the Velvet Tassel Loafer from J.McLaughlin. And, actually, J.McLaughlin is having a great sale! Their extra 40% Off Winter Sale makes today the perfect time to shop its fantastic winter collections. In fact, my favorite Velvet Jeans are on sale!

Kelly’s Weekend Vibes Outfit
Long-sleeve denim dresses are great for cooler temps; the thick denim fabric is warm and if you pair it with thick tights, like these Ribbed Tights from J.Crew, you will be quite comfortable – especially if you add tall boots instead of my Laguna Chelsea Boots. Size up on the dress so you can add another layer under the dress like a knit turtleneck for extra warmth. A perfect outfit for your casual weekend vibes!

Lemon Garlic Roasted Broccoli Salad
This recipe from Half-Baked Harvest is truly marvelous! So flavorful, with plenty of texture. Don’t skip the pomegranate, it adds a bright pop that really brings the whole salad to life. While the feta and avocado bring richness, the overall salad is light and herby, healthy and filling.
Lemon Garlic Roasted Broccoli Salad
Ingredients:
- 3 heads broccoli florets and stems roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced or grated
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 1-2 cups baby kale
- arils from 1 pomegranate
- 1 avocado sliced
- 6 ounces feta cheese crumbled
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- On a large baking sheet, toss together the broccoli, pine nuts, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, and a large pinch of both salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until the broccoli is just beginning to char. Remove from the oven and stir in the parsley.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Taste and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the roasted broccoli. Add the baby kale and pomegranate arils. Gently toss to combine. Transfer the salad to a bowl and top with feta and sliced avocado.
