Blue Hood in Da Neighborhood

To be honest, I’m more proud of the title of this blog post than any other title I’ve written for a post 😂

Tomorrow is a big day, y’all … it’s the first official day of spring! I couldn’t be more excited than I already am! I’ve been in such a good mood lately because of it. There’s finally more sunshine, it’s a little warmer, the sun doesn’t set till 8 pm, there’s tons of of purple crocuses popping out of the ground, and this school semester only has a few weeks left. I should also mention that spring break is next week and I’m traveling to Seattle for the first time with my mom to visit my cousin who’s working there right now! Safe to say, there’s a lot of reasons for me to smile.

Now even though Mother Nature is being super good to us Midwestern folks down here, it ain’t summer yet. The temperature is perfectly mild, but it can still be cold and bitter at times. Even though forty degrees to us feels warm, it’s definitely not a good time to start wearing shorts, tank tops, or flip flops. My outfit being featured in this post is a perfect way to transition from winter to spring. It doesn’t require a lot of layers, but it still helps fight the cold air that remains!

I’m loving this new blue hoodie of mine from Anthropologie. I bought it last month and it was on sale for only $50. I gotta say, I’ve been super lucky with these Anthropologie sales lately! First the red ruffled turtleneck and now this hoodie … that’s a blessing if you ask me! I love everything about it: the soft Terry cloth texture (I’m pretty sure that’s the fabric), the royal blue, and of course, the hood. It was certainly worth the purchase, especially since it was on sale!

You can style almost anything with this hoodie. My go-to fashion pieces to pair with it are my black skinny jeans from American Eagle and black Steve Madden booties. They’re simple, comfortable, and don’t take too much attention away from the sweater. I also have on my big silver hoop earrings (I can’t remember which brand they’re by), which I feel like gives the outfit a touch of chicness. I feel like I give off a sassy attitude with this look, and I love it! I’m a sassy person, so it fits well with my personality! Either that or Little Blue Riding Hood 💙
