Love this! Love a good sweatshirt. Curious where that great tomato red one is from?

Thank you! It’s RE/DONE! There is one XS left on the Outnet (which is what I’m wearing here - I’m 5’1” for ref)!

Couldn’t agree more — and find the sweatshirt is my go to (as a mom!) dressed up more often with trousers or a skirt for everything from cross country meets to school meetings. And the right ones (I recent bought and am wearing non stop my first spanx piece, the air essentials cropped sweatshirt) do not scream “sweatshirt.”

Exactly! I always felt I had to switch to a sweater or a “blouse” (eek that word) in “grown-up” situations, and I realize now I don’t have to! And there are so many great options out there - will check out the air essentials one, thank you for the rec!!

I just saw Jamie Haller's RTW includes a sweatshirt - vintage style and goes with everything.

Oh I love it! Looks almost completely sold out, but adding to my wishlist! She styled it to perfection of course!

I have a couple of sweatshirts that I like to mix with dressy bottoms (like your first look), but they aren’t a huge go-to for me. After reading your article…I could be persuaded!💕

It helps me step out of my comfort zone when I need to dress up - and I still feel comfortable! Thank you for reading!

Loved everything about this post down to the quote you shared in the beginning - “A woman will return, looking for the girl she was.”

I’m approaching a big milestone birthday this weekend and your words resonate so deeply with me.

We are all in this journey together, wearing sweatshirts and all 😊

Yes!! Sweatshirt obsessed. It is the perfect in between piece but I love playing with it for more dressed up moments too

Exactly! There are so many good styles out there right now, too! An embarrassment of riches and inspiration!

I’m obsessed with LL Bean right now. And the rugby sweatshirt ❤️

(It feels like the peak and valley of pandemic-adjacent “athleisure” has finally passed and now we can play with sweatshirts in style again)
