Proving the adage that great brains think alike, Suburban Correspondent also did a hoodie post this week.
I was doing laundry the other day. I knew Social Butterfly had a lot of sweatshirts and hoodies, but it suddenly occurred to she had really a lot of sweatshirts.
We don’t buy winter jackets at all here—sweatshirts are good for everything but snowboarding and it would never be cold enough to wear a snowboarding jacket out and about.
So, it’s sweatshirts and hoodies.
I realized today though, that if we bought winter jackets we’d only by one. We own a lot of sweatshirts.
We would come out way ahead if we lived in Minnesota!
She was wearing her SRHS Aquatics sweatshirt when she bought her UCSF sweatshirt. They hang in her closet next to Midwestern University, Cal Poly SLO, CSU Fort Collins, SRHS Cheer, SRHS Swim, Red’s Meadow, Mammoth, SR Softball and a couple of striped numbers. I don’t even want to do the math.
Oh my goodness! My daughter owns a ton of sweatshirts!! We counted once and it made me ill...all that money, they aren't cheap.
She still buys them.
What a cute picture!!

I'm pleased to say that nearly all of the hoodies that SnakeMaster owns are hand-me-downs from other families. That said, I had to rig up a set of shelves in his closet to hold them all (his latest fave is a Ski Colorado hoodie).

We are the same way, no winter jackets. Just gobs and gobs of sweatshirts!!!!
I am guilty of this as well...
Love that photo!

No winter coats?! GAH! So unfair! We still have to wear ours in the morning now, but by afternoon it is warm enough to do without.
I buy hoodies(I know I'm too old, but I don't care) at Aeropostale, because their arms are extra long for some reason.

Hoodies and sweatshirts are big in Seattle too. Between the 4 of us we probably have close to 40!!

So when the End Times come and I'm scavenging for hoodies, I know where to go! You're welcome to help yourself to my Matchbox cars and socks!!!

That's funny! Even here in Colorado, the chickies wear mostly sweatshirts or fleece and then we layer them under Columbia jackets. So often even if it's freezing in the morning, it's too warm in the afternoon, even in January! Heavy coats are for skiing and occasional cold snap!

In our house, it's rock concert t-shirts. That's all my sons wear.

We are like that here too. I think I have about 10 myself.

Sorry to tell you, Jenn, but she'd probably have just as many sweatshirts if she lived in MN. I know I did when I was in HS there. You still wear the winter coat over them!

We own dozens as well, what else does one wear under the North Face jacket?
