Do you ever have those days when you wake up (usually to a darkened morning and rain) and you just want to crawl into your sweatpants and comfy clothes. Luckily, as a stay-at-home Mom, I can do this if I feel like it.
Yesterday morning was one of those mornings. Usually I reach for a super cozy sweatsuit but this morning was extra special - I reached for my "heart" sweatshirt.
Now before your jaw gapes open and you start judging, hear me out ... this sweatshirt was my Mom's and she passed away seven and a half years ago. I specifically remember her wearing it in the 80s when I was growing up and we lived alone together - special times and wonderful memories. For some reason, she held onto it (I guess it was one of her favorite rainy day shirts too) and I just couldn't part with it either. It resurfaced recently and I love throwing it on - instant all-day hug.
This shirt is definitely eye-catching, that is for sure ... and not the least bit flattering, but here's hoping you don't become so focused in your fashion aspirations that you overlook the necessity of a cozy, sentimental shirt like this. And no, the InStyle book I referenced earlier this week, would definitely
not approve.
Sincerely,
LadySmith
P.S. Would love to see some of your rainy day go-to outfits - send me a pic!

I love it. The hearts, the sentiment. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI went on a kick of never really having sweatshirts. I don't know when they fell out of fashion, but I was convinced to buy one last Christmas from Lululemon and now I am a convert! I had forgotten how cozy they were!
Sweatshirts are essential, the sloppier the better. No need for tapering and cropped - loose, hooded and sleeves that cover your hands! Glad you love your sweatshirt! Lulu does cozy very well and lets you be stylish too!
