The Weekly Gimme: Etsy Hoodie Sweatshirt Dress

£56.29, Etsy

Why is this model so bemused? Is it the fact that she's wearing jeans and a dress? Maybe she's just hungry. So, I recently purchased this lovely rag rug from Etsy and I have recovered from my TERRIBLE Etsy experience a few months ago (NB: If you're placing a custom order, don't pay until it's ready to ship!). 

For the past few years (ever since college, really . . . ), I've wanted a hoodie dress. It combines my favorite things of not wearing pants and wearing a hoodie. Unfortunately, most hoodie dresses (and I've tried on many) are not flattering. I guess they're not really meant to be flattering, because, come on, it's a hoodie dress. But this one looks okay. It's nipped at the waist, so it won't look like a sack, and the pockets in front incorporate an integral aspect of the hoodie.

I also like how the dress is longer and flares at the bottom. The hood is also nice and large, making it a wee bit costume-y, which I like (I did just buy a cape). I would NOT wear this with jeans--leggings or bare-legged and my Frye boots. Add a stack of rings and I'm set for the weekend.

The Daily Gimme: Pure Linen Long Night Wear on Etsy

$50, etsy

You guys, today's Daily Gimme is really testing my shopping ban. First of all, I love night gowns. They make you feel so feminine and pretty and like you really have your shit together. You have clothes just for sleeping! Princesses wear night gowns! You are presentable even when no one is looking! If Dr. Chase as a firefighter came in to rescue you from a burning apartment, he would be smitten! (Mebs not.) Anyway, I really like this long linen night gown. I like the simplicity, the side slits, the lace, the all-season linen and just about everything else.

This entire etsy store is pretty awesome and I want lots of different pieces: 1.) For a weird/amishy Big Love type of nightgown, or a 2.) minimalist clean look with robe, or a 3.) pair of cute shorts that can be worn as PJs or as bloomers under a billowy skirt on a windy day, or a 4.) cropped pajama top that is just shy of doll-like. Sigh. I just want it all. I want it all. And I want it now.
