    Favorite Sweatshirt

    I love the color, the print, the way it’s built and it’s my every day sweatshirt so intensely that this is my 3rd Awake Happy sweatshirt of this size and style. The only way out is through. I mean, it is the only way.

    Love it

    I ordered a size L (I’m 5’3” - 130lbs, I usually wear small if I want something to be fitted) and it fits just how I was hoping. Not too huge but comfy and roomy. (Don’t mind the mess in my photo, I’m moving :D)
