As some of you know I am a stem girlie and recently had a ROUGH exam. So what else to do then do some shopping therapy!
My total order plus shipping was $133.22 which is pretty good for 4 items and a sweatshirt!
I have been wearing the 28 zip up literally everywhere. It is so soft and I just can’t take it off. The teddy bear tank also goes so well with my teddy bear pants so of course I needed to get the full matching set.

I snapped up the gray one with the '28' on the back, and let me tell you, the softness is absolutely unreal – it's like wearing a cloud! It’s quickly become my go-to for everything, from study sessions to casual outings.
When it comes to those perfect 'oversized hoodie selfie' moments, it's all about embracing the comfy vibe while still looking put-together. I love styling this hoodie over a simple white ribbed tank top, especially one with a cute small bow, and I’ll often add my silver heart necklace for a subtle sparkle. For bottoms, black shorts are a staple, but sometimes I go all out with my teddy bear pants to create a super cute, matching set with my teddy bear tank – it’s just adorable!
Getting that ideal selfie in an oversized hoodie can be tricky, but I’ve got a few tips that always work for me:
The 'Effortlessly Chic' Angle: Try sitting down, maybe on your bed or a cozy armchair, and let the hoodie drape naturally. A slight head tilt and a relaxed, genuine smile make all the difference. You can even pull the hood up a little for an extra snug look.
The 'Mirror Moment': If I’m heading out, a quick mirror selfie in my full outfit is a must. To avoid looking swamped, I sometimes do a half-tuck of the front into my shorts or jeans. This gives a bit more definition to your waistline while keeping the relaxed feel of the oversized fit. Another trick is to layer a light pink striped long-sleeve shirt underneath; if it peeks out at the cuffs or hem, it adds a lovely pop of color and texture.
Show Off the Details: Since my zip-up proudly displays the '28' on the back, I occasionally take a mirror selfie looking over my shoulder. It’s a fun way to highlight those unique design elements that make the hoodie special.
Beyond selfies, the versatility of an oversized hoodie is a game-changer for college life. You can literally wear it anywhere! For a super relaxed day, pair it with leggings. If you want to elevate it slightly, throw it over a cute white camisole with a teddy bear print and lace trim – it creates a sweet, feminine contrast with the casual hoodie. It’s perfect for those days when you want to be comfortable but still feel a little bit stylish. Finding that perfect blend of softness, warmth, and the right amount of slouchy fit, like my Brandy Melville one, is everything. Trust me, once you discover your personal favorite oversized hoodie, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
