Curvy Girl on the Run

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul   Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers out there! A lot of you know that my mom has been gone now for sixteen years. It gets easier every year but it’s still hard to think about people being happy and seeing their moms. This year is a little easier since we are quarantined with my dad and stepmom and we were able to celebrate together. We made burgers and fries and sangria and had ice cream cake and played games. It was a fantastic day of rest and relaxation!  You all know that I love partnering with  Chic Soul  and today is no exception! They are offering free shipping and a free pair of earrings with purchase! Use the code FREESHIP! Now let’s take a look at a few looks that I chose! The first look is this fun pink  romper ! I love this color and the fit on this one! I also love the back of this and the tie is so cute! Plus it has pockets!  I added tan sandals and some pink earrings to finish off this look...

These would also all be awesome looks to wear out for Mother’s Day or for tons of different events!  I say this a lot but I love that plus size clothing is becoming for normal and trendy and fashionable. You do not have to wear a bag or a mumu dress if you are larger. Size shouldn’t be the reason that you can’t dress cute.  Avenue  has some great looks and I love their campaign called “your confidence is showing”. I’ve always said that if you look good then you feel good. This is so true! You will undoubtedly have more confidence and get stuff done when you like the way you look. You feel good and look good and are more successful and confident and productive. It’s a known fact!  So let’s get to the looks from  Avenue  that I’m featuring! Let’s start with this  one  that i...

I’ve talked about my childhood many times as well as the strict upbringing that we had. We weren’t allowed to do a lot of things - I always felt there were more things we couldn’t do than we could. One of the things we couldn’t do was watch a lot of television programs. My parents (specifically my mother) didn’t think that there were a lot of appropriate shows for children on tv.  One of the shows we were allowed to watch was Father Knows Best-It was on the Nick at Nite channel on Nickelodeon and I think maybe on TV Land now. Anyways the show was about a typical Midwestern middle-class family with three kids. There was always a lesson to be learned in the show.  I happen to be enamored by the 50’s style clothing. When I saw this  dress  from  SheIn   I knew right away that it was perfect for me. It’s the perfect blend of American housewife in the 50’s and wowee look at that dress!  Now, it’s Mother’s Day today. I don’t know if my mom or my dad knew bes...
