How to Rock a Sweatshirt Without Looking Frumpy

Sweatshirts AKA a type of sweater made from thick cotton jersey... AKA: One of my favorite things.

It's officially sweatshirt season!!!! This means that all I pretty much do is lounge around the house in old sweatshirts and possibly not much else. Thankfully sweatshirts have come a long way since the oversized ones my mom bought me in the nineties (I still vividly remember my mom dressing me in only sweatshirts, jeans, and sneakers--this was clearly before I realized that you could wear sweatshirts over other clothes if you wished. After that, I refused to leave the house without putting something underneath despite my mother's protest to this idea).


I wanted something with a fun print, but still a grown-up vibe? (Hopefully). I'd like to think this is also a little street style and a little rock n roll (black pants and red pumps= the ultimate).

An easy way to break up (or add warmth) to a set? A cropped sweatshirt.

Thankfully, sweatshirts have updated themselves enough to be worn to the office now too. You could go with a classic solid colored one or one with a little piazza like gems and bedazzles.

We all know I'm a fan of mixing prints. So mixing a printed sweatshirt with a plaid shirt (to be worn underneath of course), I'm totally there along with a pop of color and a leather jacket.
