I Woke Up Like This – My New Favorite Sweatshirt and Dainty Floral Dress

I Woke Up Like This Sweatshirt

I’d like to introduce you to my new favorite sweatshirt. While I certainly am not Beyonce yet, nor am I flawless, I can at least pretend I am when I’m wearing this. It’s warm, cozy, and incredibly soft on the inside made from 100% ringspun cotton. But best of all, sweatshirts are totally acceptable to wear out and about now instead of just on the couch. I like to wear my sweatshirts with a skater skirt for a look that’s comfy and girly at the same time, making for a great weekend outfit.

Perhaps the best thing about my new favorite sweatshirt is that it goes particularly well with my new favorite dress from Forever 21, which was purchased for a mere 12 dollars and 80 freaking cents. The black and white dainty florals add some pattern to a mostly monochromatic outfit. The dress itself has a halter-style neckline and is wonderfully reminiscent of the 90s. I can’t wait until it’s warm and I can have this dress as part of my summer wardrobe. Paired with a cardigan or blazer and a nice necklace though, this floral dress can easily be worn in the office through the winter as well, as I did in the picture below (aw yeah that’s a #bathroomselfie #noshame).
