Pleated & Embellished

I usually am quite picky about which trends I decide to try each season – not every one is right for every body type. However, when sweatshirts came back in style, I couldn’t jump on the bandwagon fast enough (as evidenced here & here).  I definitely favor a more modern take on this casual piece, which is why I fell hard for this embellished-shoulder version.  It’s different enough from the sweatshirts I already own because it’s better suited for dressing up & down.  I wore this for a brunch date earlier in the week with my husband, but decided to share below the other ways I plan on styling it (to further prove its versatility).  Let me know if this format is helpful, as I may continue to do this with more outfit posts in the future!
