The J Crew Jaspe Boyfriend Sweatshirt

Now when I see "J Crew Boyfriend", do I think of a dream date? Ummmm, no, not exactly. Yes, if you have read me at all, you know I immediately flash to my other love, the tissue boyfriend vneck tee. I am starting a cult, please join me. And yes, I did get it in breeze yesterday (go ahead and laugh, AppGirl), but I swear that's the last one (this season)...since the Mickey crewpon expires tomorrow.

But enough about the tee, I want to talk about the Jaspe Boyfriend Sweatshirt (#15229, $49.50). Ok, $50 is a bit much for a sweatshirt, but with the crewpon - less than $40. I may not have even looked at it, but someone mentioned it on their blog... and it's totally escaping me now because I always like to include the shout out, but if you remind me, I will update. Anyway, boyfriend cut? It could be love... or a total disaster, based on the photo. So I tried it on last Friday, and did love it. It's styled like a sweatshirt, but with a much leaner cut, and longer - which for me is always good. I got a Large so that it would be roomier and I would have enough room in the shoulders. The sleeves are totally long enough. (Thank you, Tall Jenna!)

It's not as thick as a sweatshirt and it's quite soft - so it makes a really good substitute for a sweatshirt. Or just a great long sleeve top to wear over a tank & jeans when you wake up and it's pouring and you really don't want to get out of bed but have to because the cleaning ladies are coming and the kids have to get ready for school and you have to take the puppy outside... But enough about me. It will be a great piece for the spring/summer/fall. And a long sleeve tee underneath, especially a fun color, like yesterday's yellow (speaking of which, this outfit is probably a let down after the yellow tee/navy skirt/bubble necklace combo, but it suited my purpose today).

I did up the glam factor with jewelry - Dina hoops, Anthro limon necklace, and H&M ring. I loved the yellow necklace with the gray sweatshirt, but I honestly don't think it photographed that well. Hmmmm.... The light in my room is really not the best for the pics, but I have yet to make the time to figure something else out. But now is not that time. So it was rainy, cool, spring day today - but good for my garden, for my newly planted tomatoes/peppers/herbs, for my new burning bushes, and everything else. And I got to wear a new sweatshirt, so I won't complain. (this time)
