Pink Velour Cardigan

style on a budget, north carolina blogger, mom style, velour cardigan

Hey y'all! Today, I'm styling this super comfy pink velour cardigan! I saw this cardigan in this store about a month ago in gray and I fell in love with how soft it was. I didn't buy it that day because I didn't really need another gray cardigan but as soon as I saw it come online in pink, I knew I had to have it! I had already tried it on so I knew how it fit but I pretty much always read the reviews for an item before I purchase it. Everyone agreed that this cardigan was soft and comfortable but they felt like it was pajamas. Well, if it feels like pajamas then sign me up, lol! I would totally wear this over my pajamas as lounge wear but it also works great for everyday wear as well.

I styled this cardigan with my favorite budget friendly skinny jeans, a gray tee, ankle boots, and simple jewels for a put together yet comfortable look. I could literally live in this out or this one from Tuesday's post all fall and winter long! Yes to casual, comfortable, and cozy!

Instagram Roundup

instagram roundup, north carolina blogger, style on a budget, casual style, mom style
Happy Wednesday! Now that my Christmas shopping is pretty much finished (I still need to pick up some gift cards), I feel like I can enjoy the season and prepare for our Disney trip! I have been slowly stocking up on new tees, a Mickey backpack, and new ears to wear at the parks. I literally cannot wait to see the look on my girls' faces when they find out where we are going on Christmas morning! I'll be sharing a Disney trip planning post soon!

Today, I'm rounding up Instagram photos from the past week. Last week was filled with painting, Christmas crafts, too many treats, a lot of coffee, traveling, and stretchy pants (because, Thanksgiving)!

My $10 Christmas wreath that I made with a cheap wreath and eight picks from the holiday decor section at Walmart! I love how it looks with my pink door!

My Christmas floral painting that I painted at thepreppypossum last week. I swapped out the red for a pink poinsettia. I love how this one turned out!

Leggings Friendly Sweater

style on a budget, leggings friendly sweater, north carolina blogger, mom style, winter fashion

Hey y'all! I hope your week is off to a great start! Between busyness in all areas of my life, sickness,  Thanksgiving, and traveling, my gym routine and healthy(ish) eating is a mess. But today I went back to Body Pump (I took this class last Monday as well and my muscles were sore for four days) and it was still challenging but I was able to enjoy the workout. I'm headed back to the gym for cycle class and my goal is to exercise at least four times this week. It's just so much easier to skip the gym and watch Netflix instead! How do you stay motivated to work out?! 

Today, I'm embracing sweater weather and sharing my newest one that is leggings friendly! A sweater that is leggings friendly (aka covers the backside comfortably) is basically my favorite thing to wear during these cooler months. Cozy, casual, and comfortable yet put together. I feel like this sweater helps you achieve all of those things! I sized up in this knit turtleneck sweater (I'm wearing a medium) for an extra oversized fit but I would say that it does run true to size. I paired it with my faux leather leggings, leopard shoes, and a super soft scarf. I will be living in this look all winter long!

Loft Try Ons

dressing room try ons, style on a budget, mom style, north carolina blogger, loft clothing
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with your family and friends! We spent our weekend visiting family in South Carolina so I did most of my "Black Friday" shopping online and via my phone. I love being able to shop in my pajamas or in the car while we are on a road trip. My husband and I did do a little bit of in store shopping at the Tanger Outlets in Charleston on Saturday and it was surprisingly not that crowded. I can't do crowds which is why I absolutely love shopping from the comfort of my home, lol. I am almost completely finished with my holiday shopping. Woo hoo!

Today, I'm sharing a try on session at one of my very favorite retailers, Loft! In celebration of Cyber Monday, they are offering 50% off of everything plus free shipping! Be sure to use the code CLICK to snag these offers at checkout! I'm sharing seven items that I tried on below plus sizing and fit details. Loft has so many cute things right now!

This top is seriously so soft and cozy! I love the cowl neck detail. This top would be great to wear with leggings or jeans. I will definitely be buying this one! It's such a great basic for your fall and winter wardrobe!

Fit: I found this top to run true to size. I'm wearing a size small and I love the fit.

The denim leggings are another great basic for your classic. Every woman needs a good pair of stretchy denim in their closet!

Fit: The denim leggings definitely run on the smaller side. I typically always wear a size 27 and these were a little snug in the waist in my regular size. If you're in between sizes, I would definitely size up.

I love the colors in this striped tee and the colors are what caught my eye immediately when I saw this tee in the store.

Fit: If you prefer form fitting tees, go with your regular size in this top. If you like a looser fit, size up one size. I tried this top on in my regular size and while it did fit, I prefer my tees to fit loosely so I would get a medium in this one.

How cute are the details on this sweater?! It's such a high quality piece that will become your favorite cozy sweater for the cool weather ahead. 

Fit: I tried on a medium in this sweater because I would want it to be a little oversized to wear with leggings. I always prefer oversized sweaters because sweaters and leggings are a perfect combination for me! If you prefer a closer fitting sweater, you can definitely go with your regular size.

This is such a pretty dress that can dress up for a holiday party with glitter heels, dressed up with a denim jacket, or worn to work with flats and a cardigan. I love the print and the velvet texture!

Fit: I found this dress to run a little bit smaller, particularly in the arm openings. I'm wearing a small in this try on but I would definitely size up for a more comfortable fit.

I also really love the details on this sweater, especially the scalloped hemline! I love this sweater with pants but I think it would also be super cute layered over a basic black dress.

Fit: This sweater runs small. I'm trying on a size medium and it fit me like a size small sweater.

These pants are amazing! The fabric is so soft, I love the optional tie waist detail, and they have a little zippers on each side of the pants at the bottom.

Fit: These pants fit very true to size. I tried on a size four and they fit just right. They also have a perfect mid rise!

I love a good poncho! This blush pink one would be super cute with a long sleeved dress or layered with a striped tee. So many options!

Fit: This poncho is a one size fits all style.
