Curvy Girl on the Run

Okay, okay, fine. I like autumn. I am still resisting it and the cold weather that comes behind it, but I am liking the briskness in the air and the smell of fall. Most of all, I like the colors. There is still a lot of green but I am noticing the leaves changing colors to yellow, orange and red.  Similar to the changing of the leaves is this karinadresses in the Autumn Watercolor design. I am wearing the Penelope  in this design and it is just magnificent! I cannot say enough how much I love these dresses but the Penelope is not only flattering but it's got pockets too! I love the way the waist is defined and the skirt flows out a little. It balances out my smaller top part of my body with the larger bottom part of my body.  The colors are beautiful just like the changing colors all around us. If we stop long enough just for a minute, we can enjoy all of the beauty that is in autumn.  I've styled this dress two ways for you:  Dressy Casual ...

It's been a little while since I have posted a Sunday Style post on the blog! I've been busy with life and just haven't been able to get to it. I hope this changes and I'm able to post much more! I've been talking colors on the blog in a few of my Sunday Style posts and I thought today I'd do another one and talk about one of my favorite colors, fuchsia.  Fuchsia is a variation of pink. When you mix other colors with pink, light or warm, they create new versions of the color. Fuchsia is a deep pink mixed with blue. I'm drawn to brighter colors but I love the meaning behind this one. Fuchsia is all about inspiring confidence and assurance and maturity, a more responsible and controlled nurturing and love. You are confident and not afraid to take action. Remember that the journey is often more important than the outcome.  I cannot love this any more. In my life, sometimes confidence is lacking. I'm going to start wearing brighter colors more oft...

It's officially the beginning of Spring. Time change has come and gone. We lost an hour of sleep and gained an hour of sunshine. It's making it easier for me to get out and take walks and listen to music. It's more time to do things outside like clean out your car and go to the openings of ice cream stores.  It happens every year though that Winter rears its ugly head and brings snow storms and cold temperatures. We enjoyed temps in the 60's and now it's dipping back down. Spring, is that you?  It will be here in full force before we know it. Tulips, my favorite flowers, will be everywhere and the birds are already chirping. Another thing about my favorite season is the clothes! We're able to dress in fewer layers and wear cute shoes! Enough of the snow boots already!  This maxi dress from karinadresses  had me all happy and ready for spring! I loved the temps were warm enough to share it alone but I think I'll be having to stick with a jacket ov...

This dress. So fun! The print and the cut of this dress make it easy to be dressed up or down. In my case, I paired some metallic pumps and pearls with it for an effortless Sunday Style look. The lovely folks over at Avenue Plus recently sent me this dress along with some of the other items pictured below to spotlight on the blog. I've got to tell you that all of the items that I received from them have been both trendy and contemporary yet comfortable and practical!  Here are a few pics of today's dress: Dress- Avenue Plus (recent) Shoes- Banana Republic (old) Clutch- Express (last year) Pearls- J Crew Factory (old) Right hand bracelets- J Crew Factory (old) Bangles- Jet Chic Arm Candy (online) I mentioned there were a few items I was sent.

Well today is April 1 and I'm writing about outfits from a couple of weeks ago! You might notice that I have posted a little less over the last couple of weeks. I've been working on a big project that's due tomorrow at work and, believe me, I will be excited to be done with it!  This week it was St Patrick's day and I wore green a lot. And stripes. Not sure why so many stripes but I did like all of the looks!  Monday, March 16- I wore this fun combo of two different stripes with navy pants. I can't believe I didn't think of this combo sooner!  Jacket- Loft (old) Sweater- J Crew Factory (last year) Pants- Eloquii (last year) Heels- Loft (last year) Tuesday, March 17- Green pants for the win! A tweed moto jacket and a striped tank and leopard shoes rounded out this outfit.  Jacket- Gap (old) Tank- Loft (old)  Pants- Eloquii (last year) Shoes- Target (old) Necklace- Rocksbox- use code "curvygirlontherunxoxo...

The second week of March was a home run fashion-wise for me. I had a lot of fun getting dressed and sharing all of these looks with you all! It was getting a little warmer, snow was starting to melt and Spring was on the way!  Here's the scoop on these looks:  Monday, March 9- I had something else totally planned to wear on this day but I ended up going into an office for work and wanted to wear something more office-appropriate. This look was fun and was just fine for me to work by myself... Jacket- Ave Plus (recent) Shirt- J Crew (last year) Pants- Eloquii (recent) Shoes- Dexter (via goodwill)  Tuesday, March 10- I did two looks for this day since I wrote a post about these Gap Factory Slim City pants. I did a look for work and a look for play. I liked both of them a lot!  Jacket- Eloquii (recent) Shirt- J Crew Factory (recent) Pants- Gap Factory (recent) Shoes- Old Navy (last year) Sweater and Shirt- Loft (rece...

Yes, I realize it's the middle of March now. I realize that this thing called life gets in the way sometimes of doing other things like blogging or even cleaning and laundry, etc. You get the picture.  Well, the first week of March I spent a few days in Charlotte, NC for work. Meetings, meetings and more meetings. I'll tell you though- I love going and being with my co-workers and friends! It's just not the same on conference calls or WebEx as it is being live in the room. I enjoyed a nice room, plenty of food and lots of laughter and friendship.  Here's a recap of the few looks that I posted that week:  Monday, March 2- I played along with a Pinterest- inspired outfit for this day. It makes me wonder what we ever did without Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration!  Dress- Target (earlier this year) Cardigan- New York and Company (old) Shirt- Old Navy (old) Necklace- JCrew Factory (old) Bracelet- The Limited (earlier this year) Ba...
