A fashionable sweatshirt, what's not to love - my new favorite thing!

Let's face it, sometimes fashion can be a headache. We want to look good, but we don't want to think about it. And all we really want to wear is a cozy sweatshirt. Am I preaching to the choir yet? So what if you could combine the two? What if you swapped out the Under Armour hoodie for something that feels equally amazing…but looks like you took some time and effort. Enter my new favorite thing.

I can't begin to tell you how amazing this sweatshirt is? And best part? It's handmade. Seriously…who does that? Who CAN do that? Well, my friend Ria can!

I met Ria from dressign through my Facebook page and Etsy. {{The handmade community is such an amazing group.}} Ria asked me to check out her work. I instantly fell in love with ALL  OF IT. And I don't say that flippantly…I'm pretty particular! Ok, VERY particular!  Everything has such great style and lines…and looked so incredibly wearable.

Ria's story? An architecture student looking to make money post college, she stumbled upon Etsy. She decided to put some of her old designs in a store and see how they would do. Instant success! Her next thought was to design something new…again...success….and so the story goes! Even though she isn't sewing each item by hand any longer, each item is still handmade by Ria and her husband, with only a few other people behind dressign!

dressign is Tailor-Made street wear. ( i love that!) It's made for you! I have a super long torso and long arms…my sweatshirt fits perfectly! That NEVER happens!

We are focusing on the fresh outlook of streetwear in the form of easy, comfortable and casual clothes for both daytime and evening wear, which can be worn at work and during leisure time and also ethically and ecologically manufactured in Europe .

Ria gave me a few options to choose from, and this sweatshirt screamed out to belong to me! I love the lines. I love the modern look. I love the grommets and the cording. And it is so well made! It is as comfy as your favorite sweatshirt, but makes a total fashion statement. AND IT HAS POCKETS! People. Pockets! That is a total win! Even my teenage daughter agreed…it's already been stolen from my closet! 

*** This sweatshirt is 55 Euros which is about $76 - not much more than an Under Armour or Nike sweatshirt and much more worth it. This is fashion. This is style. This is handcrafted amazing! ***

There are so many items in Ria's shop that I adore…you truly have to poke around for yourself. She is offering us a generous 20% off ANY sweatshirt on her website using the code GETYOURSWEATSHIRT OR in her Etsy shop using the code GETYOURSWEATSHIRT2.

My next choice? The drapey cowl neck sweatshirt…it comes in SO many color combinations…but I'm totally digging these two! And it ends up being $55 with the discount. Worth it!

Ria is one of the coolest peeps I know. I follow her everywhere…and you should too. Facebook. Twitter. Instagram.

If you are American and concerned about ordering something from overseas…don't be. I ship overseas EVERY day…no exaggeration. It is not a big deal.at.all! Trust me. K?

Please go give Ria some social media love. Like her Facebook page. Tell her I sent you. Give her a follow. And most of all…snag one these sweatshirts while the discount is available. You will be sad if you don't!

Here's to a fashionable end of winter! And trust me…this sweatshirt over denim shorts this summer will be sick!

Let me know what you choose!
