Fall weekends are made for going casual, but you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort.
Case in point: this past weekend I wore a sweatshirt, jeans, and flats on a quick run downtown.
A stylish sweatshirt? Yes. The dressed-up sweatshirt has been around for a few seasons, and I’m a total fan. This isn’t your old college hoodie (although there’s nothing wrong with that; time and place), but a sophisticated spin on a cozy fave.
I pulled this graphic sweatshirt out of the back of my closet; it hadn’t seen the light of day since early spring, but felt right with the chill in the air. Ripped skinnies were an easy call, and this outfit gave me the opportunity to wear my second score from the folks at Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse: a pair of calf-hair slipper flats in a cool cheetah print.
A tortoiseshell statement necklace helped swing some style points, as did the addition of a few gold bangles. Between the fun graphic print of the sweatshirt, the jewelry, and the print pop of the shoe, there’s no way you can categorize this jeans-and-a-sweatshirt outfit as sloppy, am I right?
KC friends: don’t forget the new Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse store opens tomorrow (October 10th) in Overland Park. Address: 6401 West 135th Street. A little shoe shopping sounds like the perfect way to kick off your weekend!

*Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse sent the shoes for my review; thoughts and opinions are my own.
I need those shoes, they would go with almost anything. That graphic sweatshirt is awesome with the statement necklace. Another winning outfit!
STOP IT! this is so cute, love it all!

What a lovely outfit darling!! Full of colors, i looove it! 🙂
Kisses honey!
Gorg!
You look great, Ashley. I love the sweatshirt- it’s like comic book chic! Haha. 🙂
Bauble Bar has the greatest necklaces! I love that piece you’re wearing!
Lucky you that you have an Off Broadway opening near you- I shop online there alllll the time, but wish we had a store!
Have a great weekend!
I love all the colors here! They work perfectly together. It’s so nice to be able to wear bold colors in the fall when so many people rely on darks/neutrals (like myself). Have a good weekend girlfriend!
The ‘boom’ sweatshirt is really adorable, and probably the one thing from that collab I’m sad I missed out on. Your new leopard flats are adorable as well – you can never have enough leopard print in your life!
Chic on the Cheap
This is just tooo, tooo cute! Love it. I’m a huge fan of Off Broadway – in fact, I was just there a couple of days ago getting my shoe fix. Have a great weekend, Ashley!
My BOOM sweatshirt is one of my favs 🙂 I love dressing it up with a bold statement necklace. Great weekend look!
I love this outfit! I really regret not getting this sweatshirt when I had the chance. It’s perfect for Fridays and the weekends 🙂

Love it! You have a great way of making every outfit seem put together and perfectly stylish- even if it is a sweatshirt. A talent I wish I had, hopefully your inspiration can boost my own style.
