How to Style an Embellished Sweatshirt: LovePrettyXLOFT

I’m finishing off my trio of Fall LOFT posts (1,2) with this intricately adorned Jeweled Sweatshirt.

Sweatshirt / Shirt / Jeans / Shoes / Bag / Lips – Brick

I love the combination of soft terry fabric with elaborate beading – it almost feels like cheating since you’re wearing a sweatshirt (yay for comfort) yet it looks so dressed-up!

To give this top the LovePretty treatment, Elaine glammed it up with edgy accessories (doesn’t she look like she could be snapped for Toronto Fashion Week?) while I layered it over a button-down to demonstrate how it can be worn casually yet still look polished.

We hope you enjoyed this latest #LovePrettyXLOFT installment! We were pleasantly surprised to see Oliva Palermo and Emmy Rossum followed our advice and tried on the Mustard Shirt Dress from our last post:

Okay….maybe they wore it before we did 🙂

Linking up with More Pieces of Me and On the Daily Express.

    Gorgeous looks! I love the detail on the sweatshirt. I can't wait for cooler weather here and am envious that you can wear something like this right now! I need to go to loft this week and pick up some fall pieces. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

    I love the 2 ways to wear posts – it's fun to see how you and Elaine style each piece differently to suit your own style. And this sounds silly and trivial, but I really like the way you rolled the sleeves with the shirt sleeves peeking out over the sweatshirt. It's all in the details right?Gina – On the Daily Express

      So glad you like these posts Gina 🙂 And you're right – when layering – it's all about the details – I always like to have the collar, shirt bottom and shirt cuffs showing underneath the sweater 🙂

      Thanks Jill – the beading is so pretty – and it's attached so securely too (something I always worry about LOL!)

    I like the embellished sweater with the button down underneath, cuffed jeans, and statement shoes! I'll have to replicate this look – I have an embellished sweater from LOFT as well! Such an easy way to look put together :)-Lisaeverydayelevated.blogspot.com
