Curvy Girl on the Run

Well it happened. Another month gone. This past week we celebrated Thanksgiving with both mine and my husband's families. We celebrated the end of one season and the beginning of another one.  Here are my looks from this past week: Monday- It was a casual day for me. You know what's funny? I wore a similar outfit with this same plaid shirt on Monday of this week too. I think it's simple and easy to throw together as well as super comfy.  Vest- Lands End (last year) Shirt- Old Navy (last year) Jeans- Eloquii (summer this year) Boots- DSW (old) Tuesday- I decided to wear a combo that I had been thinking about for a while. There's nothing better than pink and red and glitter and leopard on a Tuesday!  Sweater- Banana Republic (last year) Skirt- Ann Taylor (last year) Shoes- DSW (recent) Clutch- Forever 21 (last year) Wednesday- Another look with this blanket scarf! I love this midi skirt and thought it was warm enough to wear...

Once we are done grieving over the loss of summer and take a look around, we can see how beautiful the colors are around us. I know it's hard for some of us (particularly me) to get over the fact that winter is coming but I am always amazed at the changing of the seasons and the beautiful landscape that God has provided for us.  Fall in Michigan is particularly gorgeous since we get a lot of the cooler temps and rain and everything else that makes our trees change colors. The wind comes in now and then and blows the beautiful leaves off the trees and creates piles for us to jump and play in. Cider mills and pumpkin patches and corn mazes are full of people and they don't seem to mind that cold temps and snow will soon be here.  Today's Outstanding October Style challenge is Favorite Designer Collaboration. I love that mass retailers approach top notch designers and have them create lines just for people like me who want a designer piece but don't want to pay a d...

I am in love with this sweatshirt!  I am so glad that I decided to get this one. The white is not as vibrant in person as it was in all of the marketing but I love it nonetheless. I decided to go with the bow shirt as well since I thought it would be a good basic for my closet. I love the versatility of a good sweatshirt. I think it's great that styles come back around. I'm sitting here writing this post as I am watching The Golden Girls and Rose is rocking a great sweatshirt with a pair of jeans. Hers is plain and boring as are her jeans, but you get the picture...oh and she's also probably in her fifties here so I guess I shouldn't necessarily use her as an example... Anyways, I decided to pair the sweatshirt with a pair of patterned pants. I have a couple of ideas of ways that I will wear this but I liked this for today. These pixie pants from Old Navy are amazing! I picked these up on sale and already have a few outfits in mind for them as well. I admit the ...

Anyone else a fan of the Target collaborations? I always look forward to seeing which designers Target will partner with and then which pieces and patterns the designers produce. Altuzarra for Target is no exception. There are some classic pieces like trench coats, pencil skirts and crisp shirts as well as more modern pieces like a maxi dress with a high slit and printed python pieces.  I wanted to show you all my picks for all of the fellow curvy girls out there. I think most designers think of their market when designing pieces- market meaning buyers and their body types- and design items that would work for everyone. This line has a lot of items that would work well for multiple body types and I like it!  Here's my first pick:  This look is one of my favorites- mainly because of the shapes of the clothing and accessories pictured. One of my   favorite things that I like to do is belt a dress or like in this case, a blouse and a skirt. It command...
