On Mar. 31, Simpson was spotted taking a “Pregnant Stroll” with her husband, Eric Johnson YC ’01, and their daughter (not son!) Maxwell. This would be exciting in and of itself, but what makes it particularly special for the readership of this fine blog was Simpson’s outfit. She was wearing the aforementioned garment—the Yale sweatshirt—and it was attentionworthy. “Is Jessica Simpson borrowing her beau’s clothes?” wondered writer Zach Johnson (who is, we think, probably not related to Simpson’s husband, despite the shared last name). That seems like a safe bet to us.
Simpson herself isn’t a Yale grad—according to Wikipedia, she dropped out of J.J. Pearce High School and later earned her GED—but it looks comfy, and we wouldn’t think to begrudge her that. She’s been spotted in that very same sweatshirt in the past, and really we can only hope that the comfy item becomes a wardrobe staple. Represent us on the red carpet, Jess?
