We have sweatshirts, sweatpants, and even a personal favorite, sweatshorts…but what else can we put a sweat in front of? Well, how about a sweatdress? You in? Okay let’s do it.
Ironically, I am not sweating at all. I hope to one day though. Summer, are you there? We’re waiting…
TWINSIES?
JK Let’s go back up.
WHAT (am I wearing):
Dress: Daniel Palillo. Shoes: Riccardo Tisci x Nike. Sunglasses: Zac Posen x Illesteva.
WHY (am I wearing it):
I got this dress in Amsterdam last October, and haven’t found the right occasion to wear it (except that one time I changed in an alley just to get the perfect street art shot). Although the sales guy said it was actually a mens shirt, I figure you say potato, I say pot-ah-to…and there you have this sweatshirt dress (that I like to call a sweatdress). So now with this in-between weather we’re having, I figure that it’s perfect timing for a sweatdress. But what does one wear with a sweatdress? It is a tough call. This particular style is on the short side, so I prefer to wear those hemlines with loafers or oxfords. This dress needed something even more casual though. Then I tried it on with a few pairs of sneakers (the reason I wore it with the Givenchy lace sneakers previously is that was the only pair of shoes I had on me…shocker, I know) and that’s when I knew…this dress has to be worn with kicks. There’s just no way around it. You already saw it with the slip-ons so let’s try something new…and what outfit couldn’t use a little Riccardo lovin’?
I haven’t worn a colorful outfit in quite some time so HERE’S ME MAKING UP FOR IT. Enjoy your weekend, fashion friends! (speaking of…have you listened yet?)
