I wasn't planning on doing a post for this hoodie dress but so many of you wrote me about it (I wore it in an Instagram story and in this photo) that I figured there was enough of an interest!

This hoodie is good example of me becoming completely and unreasonably obsessed with a particular item and not dropping it until it became mine. In this case, when I saw this sweater online, I fell in love with its cozy, slouchy nature, particularly in the outfit in my mind: worn alone as a mini dress with over-the-knee boots. (I loved the idea of the massive, oversized top with simple and sleek down below.) It was sold out online, so I proceeded to call various Zara locations until I tracked it down in Toronto. They wouldn't sell it to me over the phone (ugh!), so since I was in the Cayman Islands at the time, I asked my singing agent, Zoe, to run over and get it for me! It's full service agency, clearly. (The subsequent teasing was both earned and worth it.)

PS—I wear this with little booty shorts for if and when the dress rides up. No wardrobe malfunctions!

Thanks for stopping by!
