You know what? I LOVE sweatshirts! And when they are the PRETTIEST shade of pink….you know to go with my pink hair, well then it’s just such fun! SPRING is finally here, and this one is the perfect little number to bring in the season! I will truly wear this FOR YEARS, I just know it! I even thought about wearing it to church on Sunday! Yep, I could make it work! I would wear it with a pencil skirt, a button-down underneath, and some pearls and heels! Ta-da!!!! It comes in a really pretty light blue and is ON SALE right now, the more you buy the more you save, at J Crew!
And then remember girls…you should really wear your shirt dresses in more ways than one! Wear it like here as a shirt with jeans. Wear it as a jacket or kimono-like. They are so versatile. I got this one last fall and it has worked for me through winter and now spring to summer!
The bag is by Rebecca Minkoff. She makes some really pretty bags, very well constructed, and a fabulous price point! I got this last fall at the Nordstrom sale, and have loved the neutral pinkish shade. I’ve linked some similar ones below. My favorite kind of bag is the cross-body style…your hands are free and your bag is safe!
And then one more thing….these sunglasses! Aren’t they awesome? They were given to me for my birthday, and not CRAZY expensive, more middle of the road! Karen Walker is a new designer, at least for me. She has some really amazing and funky designs, and they are really sturdy, which is ALWAYS a plus when it comes to sunglasses!
Shauna…XO
There is everything here to love…when trying something different, I almost always ask myself, “Would Shauna wear it?” It helps me be brave!
Ahhhhhh….so nice of you to say! This sweatshirt would look FAB on YOU! XO
You were on my mind when I shopped at Chico’s this weekend, great sale by the way. Got myself some nice new outfits! I’m still coveting the silver jacket and waiting for it to be mine! I even shared your blog with the sales girl and your instagram.
From your biggest pink hair supporter!
Christine, thank you!!!! Where are you from? That silver jacket is AMAZING!!!! XO
Love your pink hair and also the style!
THANK YOU Kay!!! XO
Love your pink hair and the style!
Kay thank you so much! XO
I love thebway you styled this sweatshirt. This look is a grown up but also very fun way to wear this trend. I have been struggling with how to make sweatshirts work for me and this post was a great tool for figuring it out. Thanks Shauna!
I too have a hard time with sweatshirts. They seem to look as though “I’m ready for a bit of yard work”. But yes paired with a button down looks chic. Added bonus-layering with a sweatshirt= little “roomier”vs sweater than feels a-bit constricted and tight.
Cheryl….all true!!! A sweatshirt can definitely be dressed up!!! XO
You are beautiful. I love your style.
THANK YOU Julie!!! XO
I’m stealing this look….I absolutely love everything about it! You’ve taken sweatshirts to a whole new level. Thank you for sharing.
Holly….yes! A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!! 🙂
I just love how you put thing together….I will be keeping my eyes open for a couple of button front dress to wear like this and open in the kimono style. I was wondering if you ever shop at Marshalls or TJ Max? I work a Winners which is the Canadian branch of both these stores. I always find such Great brand names for really Great prices. Anyway just wanted to say I love seeing what you will post next. I just pulled together an out fit from your post ‘Transitioning to Spring’….The print skirt (only I used a long dress), stripped button down and jean jacket! Love It! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Hi Sherri, your outfit sounds DARLING!!!!! So happy I could help you out a bit!!!! Some times we ALL just need a visual!!!! I have only been in to TJ Max a couple of times, and never in Marshalls. But I believe that you can find something cute ANYWHERE you shop!!!!!! XO
I’ve only read ONE post and I LOVE your blog already! 🙂 Can’t wait to binge read over the weekend!
