Currently Loving .172

mom style, currently loving, bohoblu, nc blogger, north carolina blogger, style on a budget
Happy Friday! Who is ready for the weekend?! I know I am! This has been such a busy week. I also can't believe February is practically over. January lasted forever and February blew by. March is going to be such a busy month for me but I am really looking forward to what's to come!

Today, I'm sharing my weekly roundup of what I'm Currently Loving! This week's picks are actually all neutral pieces (yes, leopard is totally a neutral). With springtime upon us, I can get tempted to add in more color to my outfits but I really love a great foundation of neutral items in my closet that are easy to mix and match. I love to add in some color with my accessories, like typing a fun scarf on my bag or wearing a colorful earrings.

Which of this week's picks is your favorite?!

1. B O D Y S U I T | I am loving the cut and style of this bodysuit! A bodysuit is definitely a wardrobe staple for me. This one comes in two classic colors: white and black. It would be great under overalls, with high waisted skinny jeans, or paired with a skirt. 


2. R I N G S | I absolutely love dainty rings and this set is so pretty! I buy a lot of jewelry from Madewell and I find that it holds us so well. I personally don't have issues with anything turning. Tip: don't store your jewelry (particularly costume jewelry) in your bathroom because of the moisture.


3. J A C K E T | How cozy does this jacket look?! This is such a great jacket option for this time of the year when you don't need your super heavy winter coat anymore. I am really loving this fun leopard print, too!


4. S A N D A L S | Gold sandals are my favorite kind of sandals. I had a pair of inexpensive gold sandals last year and I literally wore them out because I reached for them so much. They go with everything! I love this leather pair and I think the price is super reasonable for the quality.


5. S W I M S U I T | I've shared this same swimsuit before in a gorgeous leopard print but I just realized that it also comes in black! I already have a leopard print swimsuit that I love so that's why I didn't purchase this suit before but a black swimsuit is on my list for this season. I think this is the one I need for this summer!


6. D R E S S | This super budget friendly leopard print dress is just so pretty! I have a similar silk leopard print dress that I have had so much fun styling. It's a very versatile piece for your closet! Dress it up with heels or dress it down with sneakers and a denim jacket. You could also wear a tee on top so that it functions like a skirt. So many options!


7. E A R R I N G S | My favorite style of earrings is definitely hoops! I try to mix it up and always go back to hoop earrings. I am loving this gorgeous pair of lightweight (and affordable) hoops! The beaded detail makes them different than any of the other pairs of hoops that I already own. They come gold, silver, and rhodium options!



8. H O O D I E | I ordered this hoodie while I was putting this post together! It's only $15 and comes in four different colors. I picked this gray one because it's a great neutral. These hoodies are the perfect lightweight layer! So comfy!


Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have an awesome weekend!

Instagram Roundup .201

Hey y'all! I hope you are having a great week! Today, I'm sharing my weekly Instagram Roundup, including my outfits from last week. You will notice that there aren't as many outfits this week because I was living in workout gear and comfy clothes last week. We had a weird week with being out of school/work for Presidents' Day and then we had a our first snow (and probably only) snow of the season. So yep, I lived in my coziest clothes while we enjoyed some time off last week!

These boots just make this outfit for me. I really love the combination of these leopard ankle boots with my moto jacket! So edgy and fun.

A delicious latte is my favorite way to start the day!

How gorgeous are these new jewels from the Kendra Scott spring collection?! The hoops are my very favorite. Such a pretty design!

An oversized flannel shirt with pockets?! Yes, please! This shirt has been my most worn top this season and it's still on repeat. I sized up to wear it with leggings, too.

I love this flower tee! It's so cute and super budget friendly. A staple for me this spring!

Currently Loving .171

Happy Friday! I hope y'all had a great week! My week was totally off routine because we were out of school/work on Monday, normal schedule on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then snow closed school early plus cancelled work for me. But! I was so incredibly excited to see some real snow! Our last decent snow where I live was back in December of 2018. I love a good snow day!

Today, I'm sharing my weekly roundup of what I'm Currently Loving! Now that we have gotten a snow day, I'm ready for springtime. It's actually kind of felt like spring around here most of the winter but with too many rainy days. I am looking forward to the real thing! Bring on the sunshine, green trees, and flowers... all of the flowers!

Which of this week's picks is your favorite?!

1. C R O S S B O D Y  B A G | I got this bag last spring and it was my most carried bag of the spring/summer. I love the round style! This budget friendly bag held up so well that I'll be carrying it on repeat this year, too. A great neutral bag!


2. B A G  S T R A P | I am currently really loving these fun bag straps! I have a leopard one that I use on my medium transport tote and I love the pop of print it adds to a basic look.


3. S W E A T E R | This shade of pink is my current favorite color. I just can't get enough! Pink has always been my favorite color but I really love this shade of it with my skin tone and hair color. It's so pretty! I love the style of this sweater too and the fact that it's made out of 100% cotton. My skin is super sensitive so I always prefer cotton when it comes to my sweaters.


4. H O O D I E | I am such a sweatshirt girl. When it's at all cool outside, I throw one on every single morning. I love that this one is a little bit more dressed up with the cut and fabric but would still totally work to wear to the gym. I also love the price tag!


5. R I N G | Round bags and round jewelry are my favorite. I don't really know what it is about this shape but I absolutely love it! I love this simple ring for everyday wear.


6. H E A D B A N D | My girls and I are still living in headbands! Most of ours our knotted so to mix things up, I'm adding in some new styles to our headband collection. I love the look of this one and it's super affordable! This would be such a cute way to add a pop of color to your outfit.


7. T O T E | I own a super similar tote bag and it's such a great bag! The quality is amazing and it's big enough to hold all of the things without being an overwhelmingly large bag. You can see my whole Madewell bag collection in this post


8. J A C K E T | I love denim jackets so much and this one looks perfect! I love the wash and the distressing. I also really love what this company stands for! This jacket is definitely at the top of my wish list for sure.


Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Instagram Roundup .200

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a great week! Yesterday, I finished up the Netflix series Next in Fashion and I loved it so much! I literally watched three in a row because I couldn't wait to see who won. It's a fashion designer competition show but the best part is that there is zero drama and the designers are legit! If you like fashion, I would totally recommend it. It was so inspiring!

Today, I'm sharing my weekly Instagram Roundup, including my outfits from last week. Most days lately it has felt like spring but tomorrow we have our first real chance of snow since 2018. I am really hoping we get six inches! I love a snow day!

Currently Loving .170

currently loving, style on a budget, mom style, nc blogger, north carolina blogger, bohoblu, style blogger
Happy Friday and Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have had a great week! I have been busy finishing up a project at work (a fun STEM challenge partnership that we have been working on with NASA) and prepping for dress rehearsal for competitive dance this weekend. We are getting ready to jump back into the fake eyelashes and extra strong hairspray season! 

Today, I'm sharing my weekly roundup of what I'm Currently Loving! Now that spring pieces are now being released, I am finding that I am currently loving so much! Fall and spring are definitely my personal favorite seasons to dress for because I really love transitional style. I love pairing a fun spring top with my favorite jeans from the winter or a sweater with shorts!

Which of this week's picks is your favorite?!

1. D R E S S | You just really can't go wrong with a black and white striped dress! I love the sleeves, the length, and the side slit on this one. It would be so cute with a pair of sneakers and a denim jacket! Super put together yet super comfortable. The best kind of outfit!

2. S N E A K E R S | Speaking of sneakers, I own a pair that are very similar pair (mine are the same style and brand, just older) and they are definitely my most worn pair of shoes right now. I wear them with jeans to work almost every single day but they also totally work with skirts and dresses, too. Also, they are beyond comfortable! I wore them all over Disney (20k steps per day) with no discomfort. I would definitely recommend them!


3. F L O W E R  T E E | My favorite flower tee is back! This tee is under $13 and is such a fun piece to add to your wardrobe. I love wearing mine under a cardigan or denim jacket but it also works great on it's own with a pair of shorts in the spring or summer. The sizing is juniors so I would suggest sizing up at least one size for the best fit.


4. N E C K L A C E | I'm all about dainty necklaces and I love hearts! I'm planning on wearing all of my heart shaped jewelry today but remember, hearts aren't just for Valenine's Day. I wear them all year long because well, they make me happy!


5. J A C K E T | A utility jacket is such a classic piece and that will be a wardrobe staple for many years to come. I replaced my old one with this one last year and it's one of my most worn pieces in my closet. It's perfect for layering now or throwing over a tee when spring comes. I sized up one size for the most comfortable fit.


6. W H I T E  T O P | I really love white tops and this one is no exception. Isn't it so pretty and feminine?! This budget friendly piece is another great wear now and later item. It works now with jeans and a warm layer on top but it would be adorable with cut off shorts later!


7. B A G | I currently have too many bags on my wish list! But, I think this one just got moved to the number one spot. I absolutely love the style and the print. It's just perfect!


8.  O V E R S I Z E D  T O P | Who else loves oversized tops that are leggings friendly?! I certainly do! I'm all about cozy and I can't wait to get this top in the mail to style it for y'all!
