If you've followed this blog for sometime then you probably know by now my fascination with all things loungewear- sweatpants, sweatshirts, t-shirt dresses and so on. The truth is, despite all better judgement, there's just something about loungewear that I unexplainably love. For the sake of this outfit post I've decided it's about time I pinned down the root of this bizarre infatuation and in doing so, hopefully help others realize and understand their own love affair with what is sometimes perceived as a crime against fashion.
After spending a questionable amount of time in the shower (that's where all brilliant ideas originate right?) what I've come to realise is aesthetics and comfort only play a minor role in my love affair. A great pair of jeans is just as comfortable and much better looking so that can't be it. What I've ultimately realised is, it's the message one sends when wearing sweats that makes me love them so much. That easy effortless, I-couldn't-care-less-what-you-think-because-I'm-comfortable-in-my-own-skin appeal. We always associate loungewear with a carefree and laid back attitude and I think in this crazy day and age it's nice to be able to wear something that doesn't take itself too seriously.
But enough of me trying to be philosophical. I chanced upon this sweatshirt and sweatpant combo one day when I wasn't even meant to be shopping. The strategic colourblocking, flirty peplum waist and contrasting drawstring was just too pretty to pass up. It seems like all these years of loungewear idolising has finally lead me to serendipitously find the perfect sweat-suit (yay).
So tell me dear readers, are there certain items you love despite all better judgement?

This is ridiculous, though, you've somehow managed to find loungewear that looks like high fashion! You clearly get a pass on the "crime against fashion" front, because the only crime you could be committing (sloppiness) is completely absent.

Jenee, that is the chicest sweatsuit I've ever seen! Love the giant tote too. Hope you had a great weekend!
Just love it how you combined this comfy outfit with chic accessories like the bag and the heels.

Good God, this is chic! chic! chic! I love this pair! Doesn't look like sweats at all! I love big billowy, fall nicely kind of tops or cardy/jacket and my husband think they make me look like Donna Summers (LOL!) but I wear them a anyway ;)

Honey, there is NO ONE who can rock loungewear like you do! So cute and flirty with the peplum and the heels! You look absolutely gorgeous! Rules are made to be broken and I don't care what you're wearing, if you're wearing it with confidence/conviction it will show! Thank you for always staying true to your style:)!
I for SURE couldn't rock this like you are, you look amazing!
i think the peplum kind of take it way out of the stay at home category.. ;) cute outfit!

Now that's what I call taking loungewear to the next level, Jenee!! So cool and stylish. I totally get your fascination with loungewear. You've seen me wear my track pants enough as it is on the blog. I've reached an age where I don't really care what people think too much these days so I just wear what I like :P Or that I've grown a REALLY thick skin.
This is the coolest sweatshirt/sweatpants I've ever seen! You look great! And comfortable!

Ok i am screaming at the top of my lungs now since I bought the same pair of RR sweats...... Oh my, they are the most amazing isn't it. You can dress it up and down and I like how you did the mirror aviators and the oversized Zara bag and of course we have the same Sam Edelman's.... Great styling and super chic.

You look unbelievably chic! The softness of this look I really love. It's the kind that you can slip your shoes off and relax on the lounge with movies then pop some booties on to rock on out in style. It doesn't get better than that!

WOW! Sweats have never looked so fab and chic! Loving this!
OMG I couldn't agree with you more! Lounge wear is so undeniably chic on. It's utterly comfortable and flattering - to an extent - on everyone. I've always turned my nose up at those who see it as sartorial death, whatevs, they clearly don't know what they're missing out on!

Immensely cute, and well don't know if I would call it lounge wear, you look so polished. I love loungewear for the feel of the material, it is just a tactile thing for me, I don't like things that restrict me. That also says something. Lovely outfit!

You totally make sweats look like high fashion. I love it. And totally like your philosophical approach to it all :) hehe! I think there are a lot of things I wear that normal people think I'm insane...but I think that's what fashion is all about :)

So interesting post about your weekend sweatsuits. Even I am just looking for some decent deals on the sweatpants and tops so that I can begin with the summer weight loss sessions. It is not easy to find plus size clothing. I was just wondering if you can help me regarding it.
