Strategic Planning
I've been wearing the same gray American Apparel pullover on an alarmingly frequent basis lately: It's so light and soft and comfortable that it's really all I ever want to put on. One could argue that it's cooler and a bit more stylized than the typical fleece hoodie, but at the end of the day there's no denying that it's just a sweatshirt. I've been layering mine over silk and/or lace-trimmed camisoles to counteract its tomboyish-ness, but I think that accessories might work even better. A dangly, statement-making necklace could be perfect for making this look more feminine. I like this one from the six-month-old, environmentally friendly San Francisco boutique Eco Citizen. It's made of laser-cut recycled wood that's sliced into octagonal charms in varying sizes and colors, and the effect is very earthy-slick and just a touch offbeat—which I love. If I'm careful about rotating it in every so often, hopefully it will help detract from the fact that I'm still wearing the same sweatshirt every single day.
Great ideas and I love that the top is affordable. So many times, I love what is on this post, but can't afford it!
loving the casual, nonfussy look
American Apparel is THE place for cozy wardrobe staples. Love the ideas of different looks. We are getting a new AA at NorthPark in Dallas.
one of my best friends has this pullover and every time i see it on her i think it's bottega or prada, and then i remember that it's american apparel. and i think whoohoo!
I have that same pullover, and I absolutely adore it, and ALL of my other American Apparel basics. I also love to adorn my with necklaces by Maya Brenner. My favorite website HauteLook.com is selling some of the designers pieces for 50% off tomorrow, you should check it out!!!
I love that necklace is it by Bethan Laura Wood?
yes, just confirmed with Eco Citizen's owner and the necklace is indeed by Bethan Laura Wood!
hey I also love sweatshirts--In fact I practically live in them...I have found a great product that will instantly change up your old fav...its called the hip-T...they are basically the bottom half of a t-shirt and it looks like you are layering w/o all the upper bulk. www.myhip-T.com
