Two Ways: Styling A Terry Sweatshirt

Can you wear a sweatshirt to work?  A few years ago this would have been unthinkable, but as styles relax and the pandemic continues, of course, you can.  Here’s how to style it.

Sweatshirt // Banana Republic’s French terry sweatshirt is a good choice for workwear.  The reason it does double-duty so well is because it has a heavier weight and good structure.

For the Office // The all ivory look is one of my very favorites.  It’s so crisp and fresh.  Here, I paired the sweatshirt with an affordable pencil from Tahari ASL.  I generally prefer a wider waistband on my skirts, so I would probably go with this one from Express.

To accessorize this look, I chose a fantastic pair of tortoise pumps.  These Steve pumps have a stable block heel and sleek look.  They also come in wide widths.

I always choose pearls with ivory.  I think it just lights up the face in a lovely way.  I chose these affordable Talbot’s studs, I might also choose these Ferragmo pearl studs with gold-tone backing for a bit more visual interest.

As for the bracelet, I chose this X-cuff from Noir.  It will look really chic with a pushed up sleeve.  The Noir brand is one of my favorites for fashion jewelry; I have a number of pieces from there.

Lastly, if you’re going to wear an all neutral palette, wearing lipstick brightens the look.  With my mask, I can’t wear lipstick right now, but I love Charlotte Tilbury’s Amazing Amal.

For Work from Home // Last Friday, I left work, went back to my hotel room, and put on a sweatshirt and leggings.  After a week in professional clothes (most of which are snug; thanks, COVID), I had never been so comfortable or grateful.  It made me miss working from home.

My favorite leggings are from Colorfulkoala.  I talk about them a lot, but when I find an affordable legging with pockets that I like as well as $98 Lululemon’s, I shout it from the rooftops.  I’m also waiting to give their joggers a try.

I own this North Face vest.  I never thought I would wear it as often as I do, but a global pandemic created some new fashion needs.  It’s warm enough for a spring walk, but not so hot that I can’t wear it around the house.

For some simple jewelry, I am reposting these Monica Vinader hoops from Monday’s post.  I just think they’re a really fantastic option for those who like white metal jewelry.  And I finished the look with my favorite Adidas Cloudfoam sneakers.  They’re comfortable, lightweight and easy to wear in or out of the house.
