This look is a departure from my usual preppy tomboyish look, but here’s the deal: I had bronchitis, was coughing like an extra in “Outbreak” every two seconds, and could barely bother getting dressed. I was also freezing, so there was no way I was taking off the big, warm, worn-in sweatshirt – Hub’s, of course… I mean I like the Falcons and all, but to spend my own personal money on team gear… not so much* – I’d been huddled in all day. While I recognized that the hoodie itself was a stretch, I knew the accompanying paint-and-who-know-what-else-stained, stretched out sweatpants absolutely could not leave the house. Sickness is no excuse. I really need to throw those pants out…
* The first time or two that hub and I went to Falcons games, I just wore the team’s colors. I guess that didn’t fly because the next thing I knew, we were in the women’s section of the sporting goods store, and he was like, “You need a Falcons shirt.” Why is it that we never end up in Madewell or J Crew with him saying, “You need some of this stuff”? I’m just saying.
- Puffer vest and socks: Gap
- Hoodie: Hub’s side of the closet
- Camo pants: Zara (I’m about a size 300 in that store. Anybody else have to size way up on pants in Zara?)
- Kicks: Converse
- Sunglasses: Ray-Ban
Super cute look…the socks and chucks make it special…:)
Thanks! I’m glad to know something about this “look” qualifies as special 🙂

First, this post made me laugh out loud. You are really funny! Second, you don’t look like a girl with bronchitis at all. Cuteness did not suffer from illness at all!
Thank you! You should see the outtakes, though. Outbreak 2013.

Thanks for much for stopping by my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Sorry to hear you’re sick, but your post made me cackle. Why CAN’T our husbands say we “need” stuff from stores we actually like? I have a way-too-big Steelers shirt in my drawer right now thanks to my hubby 🙂
As for Zara? I wish I could find a single thing from them that would fit me. Even the shoes are a no-go because most of them don’t come in half sizes. Size 8 is too small, and 9 is too big. Sucks for me.
Thank YOU for checking out J&S! I’m feeling much better, thank goodness. When I was buying these size 3K pants, the salesperson (who looked to be a size negative 2 herself) said, “I can’t fit into the pants in this store.” I absolutely had to have some camo pants, and since the price on these was right, I just bought the size that fit my thighs, and wear a belt. Take that, inaccurate Zara sizing 🙂
