Top 5 Sweatshirts: Sweating It

Rejoice! It’s the era of the sweatshirt, and I’m all about comfort couture so this is a trend I’m jumping on. First the Birkenstock and now sweats. Schlepping has never been so chic! Seriously, when are pajamas going to be acceptable to wear out? Oh yeah, that already happened. But let’s not go overboard here – I’m not suggesting you wear a sweatshirt with pajama bottoms and walk out in Birkenstocks (even if they are the nice Céline ones). Wear it unexpectedly over an amazing full skirt, or if you want to keep it casual, a bright, colorful jean with your best pumps.
