I have lots of casual clothing in my wardrobe. From tee’s to sweatpants, joggers and sweatshirts, loungewear makes up a good part of my drawer space, but most of it rarely sees the light of day! Like most of my casual wear, sweatshirts are typically reserved for lounging at home, but when I found this one, I knew it had potential to be much more than something I only throw on when I have nothing to wear or nowhere to go.

A sweatshirt like this is a perfect example of a casual piece with the ability to transform into something other than what it was meant for. With its timeless black and white stripes and cheeky neon orange salutation, it’s the perfect blend of classic, whimsical and fun. To take it from leisurely to ladylike, I chose a delicate lace bow blouse to go underneath and paired it with my go-to midi skirt, breathing new, exciting life into a casual sweatshirt.
