If you haven't hit the warzone, aka "shopping," yet, you're bound to get out there at some point over the weekend. For an activity that pretty much is going to be battle, you need to be comfortable, and Clu's Sweatshirt dress is probably going to be the best armor you have. The fleece dress is as comfortable as a sweatshirt, without looking like you threw on the only "clean" thing off your floor, a ratty ol's college sweatshirt that you've been wearing all weekend. Zipper pockets at front are perfect for not losing your keys as you rush around town to hit all the sales, and pleating at the elbows give you extra room to push your way through all those crowds.

Available at Shopbop for $154.

Wish you could take on the bad guys, run like the wind, and leap tall buildings in a single bound?

While these looks from Bape may not help you fight evil villains, they'll make you look like a superhero -- which, I think, is equally as important. Teaming up with Marvel Comics, the design house has created a range of Batman, Superman and The Flash pieces -- including the Batman hoodie (with ear pieces!) pictured above. You can now pay homage to the inherent coolness of men with freakish speed and strength -- plus, the range fits in nicely with the emergence of geek chic, that's all the rage with 20somethings everywhere. Bonus.

Unfortunately, you'd have to be Bruce Wayne to afford any of the pieces. The Flash sweatshirt retails at $351, and the Batman hoodie will set you back $439 -- which is more than a little out of my price range.

That said, the design is pretty straightforward. Not that I'd advocate stealing someone else's idea, but with an iron, a red sweatshirt, and a Flash patch from your local comic book shop, it looks like you could make your own at 10th of the price. Just a thought.

Did I say you were going to get to know Mike & Chris? If you didn't think I meant it, I did. Mike & Chris is known for their unconventional takes on that urban essential, the hoodie, and what they've done with the Ethan is pulled it long and made it into a pullover hoodie dress. It has all casual comfort of a classic hooded sweatshirt like 100% cotton fleece, kangaroo front pocket, and drawstring hood, but the Ethan dress is stylish in its slim fit, and short, cuffed, kimono sleeves. So you can run around town doing your errands all day in the Ethan dress and a pair of leggings, then take it to a casual dinner with some fabulous boots and handbag.

The dress was originally $173, on sale for $87 at GirlShop.

You can hardly drag yourself out of bed after that Halloween party last night, and are those fake lashes stuck to the side of your face?!?! Yes, yes it is. Wash your face, girl, but don't even bother wasting the energy on a shower. It's Sunday Recovery day, and all you have planned for the day is...absolutely nothing.

Princess Tam Tam makes the perfect little dress to relax and recuperate today. The Moonlight sweatshirt dress is comfortable to lounge around the house with a cup of coffee, a shot of Alka-Seltzer, and the morning Internet. With the drop waist and the fact that it is a dress, it's cute enough to head out into the neighborhood to run errands, too. But only if you have to.

The dress is available from Azaleas for $80.

I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but here in Los Angeles, it is grey. It is rainy. And it is cold. Yes, yes, 68 degrees is cold! With the weather the way it is, there is nothing I'd rather do than slip into my sweats, sit in front of the TV with a cup of coffee, and veg out. Unfortunately, there are things to do, so the next best thing is throwing on this totally comfy fleece dress by Lux, that can double as an extra long sweatshirt over jeans or leggings. Since it's drizzling on and off out there, the hood will come in handy, too!

The dress, which comes in both green and grey, is available at Urban Outfitters for $58.
