Gucci Inspired Sweatshirt

Constantly researching fashion blogs, articles, magazines, instagram, and people, I have admired the recent resurgence and hipness of Gucci. So many beautiful, glamorous, and whimsical pieces of late, each one cool and hip in their own way. That said, the BLING BLING price tags have prevented me from buying anything. I love the Gucci’s bombers and sweatshirts, and yet haven’t pulled the trigger due to price. So when I came across a Gucci *inspired* sweatshirt at H&M, it was BLING BLING a true winner. 39.99 dollars. YES PLEASE, thank you, SUCKER.

Preppy and fun.

If I didn’t know any better, I would think it was $800 and pure Gucci. I am so in love, I feel like bragging to everyone that I am the champion. Check out this amazing sweatshirt (and a steal of a deal, if I must say so myself).

Maybe I should wear this on Friday, August 5th, to celebrate the USA for the Olympics? WHO IS READY TO VEG AND WATCH THE OLYMPICS? Me me me

Game of golf?

Bottom edges, too!

High crew neck.

Textured flowers. Mind you, it is 90 degrees in Oregon right now….so I am not wearing this for reals (hence the reason you are not seeing my full body shot), but I can’t wait to wear it when it does get cool and I have to face the reality of pants and sweatshirts.

So there you have it. A sweet cheaper version of a Gucci inspired piece of clothing. Anyone else have great steals and deals to share? Please do —  I love a good bargain.

Also, I got stung by a yellow jacket two days ago, and I am still in so much pain. It is inflamed, itchy, and although I feel like a big baby, I want to cry because I am not sleeping from the pain.  The Benadryl makes me feel woozy and drunk, and it is swollen and hurts. Anyone have a good cure besides Benadryl and itch-relief-cream?

Bee sting. Gross, I know, but I want you to feel the pain from my screen to yours.

Help!
