Day 820 - You Never Call Me When You're Sober

Shoes: Turquoise 'Tickling Loris' Irregular Choice 

If I felt out of my depth wearing the unicorn jumper last year, then I was drowning with this sweatshirt! Yeah "sweatshirt", even the name sounds pretty darn hideous to me. However when I spied this Barbie print on both a sweatshirt and jogging bottoms from ASOS (they also had Disney themed ones at the time) I was super intrigued. You know I like anything dolly-ish and the print was so retro and fun, but what the hell could I do with a sweatshirt or joggies? I bought them to try because they were selling out fast (actually I think the jumper was the last one of any size and a pure fluke I happened to see it the day I was looking). This was last year and for months they've sat in my cupboard because I don't quite know what to do with them. The bottoms, I figure I would wear around the house, although I tend to favour just wearing my jammies on a 'casual' day. I kinda wanted to do something with the top though, so the whole outfit wasn't just a 'hope nobody sees it in the house' type. I wish I'd had the option of a smaller size, because it's very large (ok, I know it's supposed to be..), the first thing that had to go was the neckline...my figure is soooo not made for high-necks like this! After a quick snip, it felt much less restrictive. The fabric is very soft and more like a thick t-shirt than a proper sweatshirt, so I wondered if I could tuck it into my skirt to avoid looking like a giant Barbie tent!  However is it like a total "80's Dad" no-no to tuck a sweatshirt in?  I don't own trousers and it kinda looked ridiculous over the skirt.  The sleeves are also quite bat-wingy...!  In all honesty, I didn't feel uncomfortable in it, I'm just not used to wearing something that isn't shaped and fitted.  I still love the print.  Tell me though is it completely hideous? Did I just create the ultimate fashion sin?  Or do you have any ideas of what I could do with it.  I would take it in, so it was fitted, but I'd lose a lot of the fabulous print that way.

Wearing: Barbie sweatshirt ASOS, lace 'Grace' skirt Swan by Clements Ribeiro, black tights and coat Primark, belt Dorothy Perkins.
Fit: True in length but tight across the foot, I opted for the size up. Heel almost 4".
Comfort: Aside from the top digging in a little they gave me no problems and are easy to walk in.
