My comfort food of choice? A New York slice with a real orange soda on the side. From a bottle. A glass bottle. Sadly, it’s been years since I’ve been able to have this, my perfect meal. Geez, I miss New York City…

My comfort clothing of choice? A hoody. Fortunately for me, the ordinary sweatshirt has seen a dramatic upgrade in design.

I have a whole mess of them. Some are frayed, the color is so worn out I can’t remember if it was originally blue or green. Some of them have no strings left in the hood. Or the arms are too short from too many washes.

But when I need the comfort of my hoody but also will be seen out in public and therefore might like to avoid the whole “oh, poor thing, look at her” stares, I always, always go for my She-Bible Frankie hoody. I’ve written about this hoody before, too. And I honestly can’t even remember how I stumbled upon it. But I am so grateful that I did. Seriously, you’ve never seen what basically amounts to little more than a sweatshirt that is simply as chic and well-made as this one is. The colors are fantastic, basic neutrals, but not at all bland. And last year they updated them with organic cotton. I don’t really know what exactly that entails, but it sounds good, doesn’t it? But it’s actually the hood on this thing that does it for me. It’s huge. It hangs perfectly down your back, but it also looks fantastic when you are actually wearing it. And tell me, how often have you actually pulled the hood of your hoody up over your head? Not many, right?

They are on sale at She-Bible. And while you might still consider them a bit pricy for a sweatshirt, believe me when I tell you that you will live in this one.

I’m wearing mine today…
