Favorite item of clothing: The hoody!

Leave a comment

Processed with VSCOcam with c1 presetEver since I moved to San Diego, I’ve always had an idea of what my perfect hoody would be. When I was living near the beach, it had to be a hoody that I could curl my  legs up into and rock back and forth while I watched the sunset.  10 years later, back in my home state of Colorado, my hoody needs are different.

I love to have that one staple signature piece and I think I’ve found it in my new Krimson Klover hoody. The charcoal grey will match most of what I wear yet the pop of pink adds some zest to any outfit. I am also a fan of things that have a feminine fit. Often times, hoodies and sweaters look masculine on me. While at the same time, I don’t like it when things are too tight and constricting. The fit of the hoody is PERFECT!

I’m also a fan of pocket space. It’s annoying when things have pockets but you can’t fit anything into them. My cell phone, eye glass wiper, and chapstick fit perfect so I can truly be hands free.

Oh! 1 more thing that I love about this hoody!! … Read more!
