The Magic of New Hoodies

I am not trendy. Not even close, really. My idea of a "cute outfit" involves half-clean jeans and an ironic t-shirt. Which is why one of my favorite objects of clothing has to be the hoodie.

Nerds and emo kids alike have gathered around this magical not-a-jacket-not-a-sweater for thousands (well, dozens) of years now, and I figured someone should give it some credit (also, I do own the above hoodie... because I'm a nerd)

Dear Hoodies,

Thanks for being the laziest piece of clothing for so long without asking anything in return. Thanks for letting us throw you on at a moment's notice when we're running late and it's three below outside. Thanks for protecting our other clothes from rogue spaghetti sauce and salad dressing. Thanks for another way to express our geekiness. And thanks for that soft, unwashed new hoodie fuzz that I wish every surface in the world was made of.

Love,

Corinne
