{fashion folio} the luxe sweatshirt

the stylish sweatshirt
Kate Spade New York Cueva Rosa Stud Earrings + Sam Edelman Desiree Pump in Zinc / Classic Nude + Sole Society Elsie Convertible Clutch in Blush + TOPSHOP Long Sleeve Sweat in Grey + TOPSHOP Moto Sky Blue Joni Jeans + Liz Palacios Orange Caboche and Swarovski Crystal Bib Necklace + Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate # 111

Once regarded as a form of athletic wear meant to accouter your upper half during hot and sticky workouts at the gym, or keep you cozy during bouts with the flu; the sweatshirt has morphed into a stylish necessity for the girl-about-town - tempering, toning down, and otherwise casual-izing sexier looks.

Opt for a heather gray hue in a slightly slouchy fit, paired with a sky blue pair of skinnies - the voluminosity of the top is the perfect juxtaposition to the sinewy aesthetic of the bottoms. Stick to the neutral palette you've got going on with a structured clutch in nude coupled with a sandy-colored single-sole pump {a gold metallic cap toe makes it more glam}. An orange bib necklace adds an unexpected vibrancy to the muted tones; while a matte bold red lip brightens your face in a sassy fashion. Pop in a pair of oversized stud earrings as a finishing touch {they bring out the sparkle in your eyes. Trust}, and go get your groove on because yes...this look is totally Girls' Night Out / Date Night apropos.
