Look! It's like a Fourth Of July costume, only in the freezing cold!

I love that sweater.

Kendrick doesn't shop for himself a ton, but once in awhile he'll come home with a random t-shirt or sweater or pair of shoes that he found in some off-the-beaten-path place (or, in this case...Urban Outfitters), and it will, without fail, be kind of weird and pretty awesome (recent examples: a Heisenberg t-shirt, a blue striped button-down with embroidered roosters on the shoulders, and a belt with a real dead scorpion inside it).

When I was in seventh grade, my best friend and I decided - for whatever reason - that pajama tops (preferably faded, striped ones that looked like they could have belonged to someone's grandfather) were the height of fashion. Every Saturday afternoon, we headed over to the Salvation Army to scour the nightwear and undergarments section (in retrospect, probably not the most in-demand department), and over time I developed quite the collection.

It's been about two decades since I embraced the pajamas-as-daytime-wear thing, so I thought it was time for a revisit. Of course, Grandpa's Old PJs don't make the cut nowadays; if I'm wearing nightwear out and about in public, I want to make sure it doesn't look like I just straight-up forgot to get dressed (because trust me...that does happen all on its own from time to time).

I was once asked who my "style icon" was, and after a bunch of waffling - I'd never been asked that before, and my instant reaction was to say "Audrey Hepburn", because despite the fact that there are few people on the planet whose style resembles mine less, she seems to sort of be a de facto icon - I landed on Kate Hudson.

But you know who it really is?
