What a crazy time we are living in! If you read my Instagram post from Tuesday, then you know I was unsure of how to move forward with my blog during this time. I didn’t want to see oblivious or unaware of what was happening in the world around us. However, blogging makes me happy and I like the sense of normalcy it brings. I know that so many of you reached out and feel the same way, so I will continue to post all of the amazing content that I originally had planned! I know that not everyone needs something normal and fun. If that is you, that is totally okay and feel free to reach out if you need someone to talk to. You can always use my “Contact Me” page, which is found here. I figured I would start off small and share some recent purchases and cozy finds because I know that most of us are at home.
I am incredibly grateful for several things, while the pandemic is happening. The biggest one is that spring is blooming! The days are beginning to get warmer and we have even had some sunshine in Greenville! I am grateful that I can be outside to enjoy the fresh air and flowers. Even though I am not getting out much, I have been enjoying the bright colors, light sweaters, and spring dresses. Here are my top 5 recent purchases that I have been loving for this season!
Top 5 Recent Purchases
One // Neon Striped Sweater
This is the sweater that I am wearing above and it is perfect for Spring! It is super lightweight and I think it would even make a great bathing suit coverup. Especially when those hot summer days turn into cooler nights. Warning though, if you are wearing it as a sweater, you most likely will need to wear a white cami underneath. It is fairly see-through even with a nude bra. The material is so soft though and I love the colorful stripes.
Two // Madewell White Crop Jean
These actually came in the mail yesterday and I am IN LOVE! I bought them when Nordstrom was having their 25% off sitewide sale. Have you ever put on a pair of jeans and the fit was so perfect and you felt incredible in them? Well, this is my pair of jeans. They have a decent amount of stretch, a high rise waist and I love the raw hem at the bottom. I went down a size based on reviews and the fit was perfect. Normally I am a 25 in jeans and I ordered a 24. You will be seeing these on me a lot this season, so keep a lookout!
Three // Coral Pullover Sweater
Heads up! This sweater is on clearance and all sizes are in stock!! I have been wearing this coral sweater nonstop this month. It is so soft, but lightweight at the same time. I sized up to a medium to give me an oversized fit, which makes it even cozier. This sweater comes in a beautiful bright green as well.
Four // Woven Belt
I bought this belt off of Amazon and have been wearing it nonstop! The best part is that it is under $14! I have paired it with skirts, dresses, and even a bathing suit!
Five // White T-Shirt
My white t-shirt had gotten so worn and kind of gross, so I searched for a new one! I found this one and love it! It has a loose fit, a pocket plus it is super soft and is under $20. It comes in a ton of colors too! I ordered a small and it fits great!
Cozy Finds
Target obsessions are a real thing y’all. Lately, I have been obsessing with the Stars Above line. The materials are so soft and cozy and perfect for the season we are in right now. Not all of them look like pajamas either which is great! Personally, I love this navy set and the lounge pants. I have the top and I am embarrassed to say I didn’t take it off for multiple days because of how soft it was!
If anything I hope that this post brightens up your day and I just want to thank each and every one of you who continues to support my little blog.
All My Love,
Michelle Marie
