Welcome to this week’s Wednesday Watch List, where I share the random things that captured my attention and stole my heart over the past week!

1 – I bought this striped bell sleeve sweater before Christmas and have worn it several times since. I love the weight of the material and the unique sleeves. It hits me right above my hips (I’m 5’8″) so it isn’t a super long shirt, but I feel like the cut is flattering! It comes in two solid colors and two striped version. Shockingly, I went with the black and ivory stripe over the navy version!
2 – It should come as no surprise that I’m completely obsessed with this pineapple decanter. It’s the perfect addition to any bar cart and looks perfect in tons of party setting. They offer a few styling ideas on their site and I love them all!
3 – Basically the second these faux topiaries were released, I wanted every single one of them. It’s hard to find faux greenery that looks good and is classic enough to invest in. I also love that they could really be used any season of the year. The short one comes in at 24″ high, which is still fairly sizable! The only challenge I have now is where to use them and which shape/size I need. I’m leaning towards a pair of the double topiaries flanking either side of the mantle? But really I want them all. Side note: they also just added a bunch of items to their clearance section, and you can get an extra 20% off the reduced items with code SAVEBIG! This makes my wide stripe pillows I recently shared only $16 with free shipping.
4 – Okay, so this next item is a partial share and a partial question. I found this cute Barefoot Dreams striped throw on sale, and while it’s still expensive, I continue to hear their products are worth every single penny. In fact, scrolling through their items, there are thousands upon thousands of five-star reviews. Their cardigans were one of the top sellers of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year. So, for those that have tried the brand, is it truly worth it? Is the hype legit? I’ve heard there’s nothing softer or cozier out there and everyone raves about their cardigans. I’d love your thoughts!
5 – I’m finally at the point in my adult life where I realize some things may not be fun to buy, but ultimately they will make my life so much easier in the long-run. Enter these USB tassel keychains. Not only do they help you find your keys, but they can charge your phone on the go! They also offer free monogramming so they are fun to customize for yourself or a gift for someone else. They come in seven colors and I’m still trying to decide between the navy blue and the saddle color. If you saw my Instagram stories last night, you know I’m badly in need of some new charging options!
Be sure to check back tomorrow. I have a big announcement and a fun giveaway for all of you!

That keychain is stylish and genius! Thanks for the list!
Sarah says
I’m glad you love it as much as I do! So handy (and cute)!
Pam says
I love the striped sweater so cute. I am 5′ 8″ as well and sometimes I find that tops are way too short.
Also, love the tassel key chain. Looking for a birthday gift for a friend and this is perfect. Thanks for your help.
Sarah says
I have a long torso too, so I don’t love how a lot of tops fit. But this one, although shorter, was definitely manageable 🙂 I’m glad you love the key chain too!

I love the barefoot dreams cardigans. I have two of the circle ones (navy and gray) and wear them both constantly. I also have one of the wrap ones and the long hooded one that is open. But I always grab one of the circle ones. When Nordstrom has their big sale they are usually part of the sale. I think the circle one goes down to $70 which is when I bought it. There’s another blogger (Shaeffer Told Me To) that opened my eyes to them. She constantly posts about them. She refers to them as a blardigan (the wrap one) because it’s like a cardigan and a blanket in one and the circle one as the baby blardigan!
Come to the dark side.. you’ll love it. 🙂
Sarah says
Haha! I love the blardigan term! Sounds like I definitely need to give them a try. Thank you for your thoughts!! 🙂
Amy says
I bought the cardigan in the Nordstrom sale. I had ever heard of this brand before that but took a chance and love it!
Denise says
I’m probably in the minority’s here, but I did succumb to all the bloggers proclaiming their love for the cardigan and bought one during the Nordstrom sale. While, I like it, to me, even on sale, it’s overpriced. I bought the circle one, and on me the pockets hit right at my hips making it not the most flattering. Because of that, I would never wear it out of the house.

Another Barefoot Dreams convert… they are worth every penny. So so cozy and cute. In fact, I’m wearing my circle cardigan right now. Perfect for lazy mornings, with a cami and slacks at the office, thrown over a dress for date night… super versatile and so soft.
