Jeweled Sweatshirt (J.Crew, $118)
Several years ago, I bought a lightly sequined sweatshirt with a hood thinking that I’d wear it on the weekends. I wore it constantly. I wore it with jeans on Fridays. I wore it with heavy wool skirts on Mondays. I wore it with a long pleated chiffon skirt to a birthday party. I loved it, and I was heartbroken when the dry cleaning solution turned it from a gorgeous charcoal grey to a sickly mauve. But this jeweled sweatshirt from J.Crew might be a good replacement.
If you like this look but can’t justify paying more than $100 for a sweatshirt, you’re in luck. Mango has a very similar sweatshirt with a little less bling for $49. If you’re problem is that you need more sparkle, VS has a sweatshirt for that for $50. Aqua has a cool sweatshirt with sequins on the shoulder for $69.

Welp, looks like I will be spending $118 on a sweatshirt. This is amazing!

A hooded sweatshirt? To the office?? Even sequined and on a casual day, that seems too far.

Really, a sweatshirt? I have a hard and fast rule of no sweatshirts outside the house. Ever.

This looks like a candidate for a DIY project! A $20 trip to AC Moore, a night with a Netflix movie and a needle and thread, and it'll be mine!

A hoodie…with a chiffon skirt…to a friends birthday party? I had to read this post twice to make sure I got it right. This is unexpected. Is it April Fools Day today? Belle, I really want to trust that you looked good in that combo, but I'm having an awfully hard time conjuring up a good mental image.

This will look really great with my sequined Uggs and frayed denim mini skirt.
Really though- this is cute, but… This looks very childish to me. Adorable on a 5-15 year old. Not adorable on a 25+ year old except if paired with jeans and hiking boots as a glammier version of a necessary item (in other words, this is only acceptable in situations when any other sweatshirt would otherwise be acceptable). A sweatshirt at the office? No way!

Ugh, you gotta be kidding me. This reminds me of the chambray button down my Mom decided to embroider.
Ellie says:
Sorry, gotta go with A, Lisa, and Zaza on this… Yikes.

Did April Fools move to September 6th and no one informed me?!?! …Please tell me this was a joke post to see if we are paying attention. A hoodie…with sequins…in a shade of GREY… not so much.
