Cosmo Recommends ~ Shia Investigates!

{sorry for the horrible pic - took a pic of the magazine page}

So apparently sweatshirts are back in.  However, they're a little prettier than a regular old Hanes sweatshirt.

a) Dolan, $148, freepeople.com ~ Found it on the website and it was the price stated in Cosmo

b) KUT From the Kloth, $68, funkychic.com ~ Couldn't find it on the website

c) Costa Blanca, $41, costablanca.ca ~ Couldn't find it on the website

d) Wildfox Couture, $99, wildfoxcouture.com ~ Found it on the website and it was the price stated in Cosmo

e) Simdog, $66, shopsimdog.com ~ Found it on the website and it was the price stated in Cosmo

f) MK2K, $143, diamondsandpearl.com ~ Couldn't find it on the website

g) American Eagle Outfitters, $44.50, ae.com ~ Found it on the website and it was the price stated in Cosmo

h) DKNY Jeans, $49, macy.com ~Sort of found it ~ it was only in plus size and it was $69

i) Woodleigh, $92, boutiquetoyou.com ~ Couldn't find it on the website

So I found 5 out of the 9 and one was in limited sizes.  I just don't understand why magazines get our hopes up about pieces of clothing and then when we try to find it then it's not available (because that piece was from last season) or the quality is garbage...I know I know...advertising.  

It's not as if I really wanted to spend $100 or so on a bedazzled sweatshirt but I REALLY liked (c) and I spent a lot of time looking for it and NADA!  However, I really do what some sort of hip sweatshirt now (thanks Cosmo ~ you won) so I am thinking about checking out some stores to see if this fad catches on and spreads like wildfire.  

Do you have a hip sweatshirt?  Where did you get it?

Have you ever tried to find something in a magazine and couldn't or it didn't turn out to be as nice as they made it out to seem?
