Curvy Girl on the Run

We are officially into August which means sadly the summer is coming to an end before we know it. I have enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful summer outfits from everyone who participated in July's style challenge! We had our fair share of cooler days and nights this month as well so it was interesting seeing how everyone transformed some of their warmer temps outfits into cooler temps outfits. Let's get down to it and recap this last week of July, shall we?  Day 25- Peachy Keen- I chose a peach tee to wear with these patterned capris that I got last year. I love them with a good pair of heels or wedges. I think they make my legs look longer!  For this day, I chose to feature my friend, Brett, @silvrgurl. She is always on point with her outfits and poses for every day of challenges! I love the colors and the print mixing!  Day 26- Dancing in Denim- I wore some boyfriend jeans on this day with my MI Love tee. I wanted a casual look for a day filled w...

Some days you just need a little inspiration. I've talked about Pinterest a lot because you can find so many things on it. Today's Jumpin' July Style challenge was Pinterest inspired so I turned to the giant database in the sky for some outfit inspiration.  I was looking for something casual yet fun. I was looking for something that caught my eye and that I could recreate using my own clothes. Pinterest inspired doesn't always mean that you have to copy it exactly. I like to also recreate a look that is based on the pin but may not be exactly the same.  Take this outfit for example. Today I just looked under Fashion and found so many great ideas. I pinned a ton of things already for fall too. I found this pin though and thought, I like yellow with a white jacket and jeans so let's see what I can do with it.  Here's the pin today's look is based on: I took my white jacket and put it over a bright yellow tank and boyfriend jeans. I have the...

It's hard to believe July is almost over! This month's style challenge has been a lot of fun and I have already been looking ahead to fall. If you caught my Instagram post earlier in the week, you saw the super cute cross body bag that I picked up at Target this week.  I'm not quite ready for boots and jeans and pumpkin spice lattes yet though so let's recap these great summer looks that happened over the course of this week.  Day 17- Make A Statement- I love the punk floral print so much from J Crew that I wish I would have bought make! It goes with a lot of different colors so this day I wore it with a pink cardigan over it and leopard heels for extra fun. A great print and a great necklace definitely make a statement!  I chose @kaitcopter to feature for this day. I love the punk floral skirt paired with a graphic tee- she surely is making a statement in this outfit!  Day 18- Zebra Stripes and Leopard Spots- I didn't know if I would ...

Today I was actually quite happy with the way my outfit turned out. I have literally been looking for this floral cove top from J Crew forever and am glad that I finally found it on a huge sale and used some of a gift card also to purchase it! I like the shape and feel of this top but I was hesitant to purchase it since I bought it on final sale.   I was so glad when I received it that I loved the fit and the look of it! (FYI-I am totally not a risk-taker when it comes to final sale...) I decided to pair it with a navy pleated skirt (also J Crew) because the look was simple and basic, yet somehow elegant. I wore my pearls and some great bow heels for the daytime look. Here’s the look dressed up:   Let’s keep it real though; I work from home so naturally I do not like sitting around all day wearing heels. I did, however, volunteer today for Dress for Success so thought it would be a good idea to wear something that was more professional than a pair of jean...
