Curvy Girl on the Run

This past week I hosted #leopardweekwithsandae over on Instagram! It’s a style challenge and I haven’t done one of those in forever! I love leopard of all colors and all shapes and sizes. Leopard is so hot and on trend right now from clothing to footwear to accessories. I especially love wearing leopard in the cooler months because I find dark colors look absolutely lovely with it! Light ones do too but I love the accent of leopard with jewel tones and all colors of fall and winter.  Participants and myself wore their best looks including leopard and posted them on IG with the hashtag. Anything goes! As long as it has leopard in it and it was during that week! I’ll show some of my favorites in a minute but first, let’s talk about today’s look.  Today’s look is from SheIn and it’s a  dress  that is silky and reminds me of the 70’s. It’s got a self fabric belt and a tie at the top. I like to let a little hang out in the top, because why not? If you’ve got it, flaunt it...

It.is.cold. Way too cold to go outside and do anything so I thought I'd play catch up on outfits. You can see by all of the snow in my pictures that it's been cold here lately. I find I am not as creative during the winter since I have to bundle up to go anywhere. It's also hard to get out and get good pictures since the temperatures are so low. I am still getting dressed everyday, I may just not get a picture to document it!  Monday, Feb 2- Snow Day! No outfit post on this day.  Tuesday, Feb 3-  Black and white and mint for back to work on Tuesday! Loving these pixie pants with the faux fur vest! My bag says "It's okay to stare".... Sweater and pants- Old Navy (last year) Faux fur vest- Kohls (old) Boots- Kohl's (old) Clutch- Express (last year) Wednesday, Feb 4- I like big bows and I cannot lie...I wore a blouse with a huge bow. I also loved this combo of cobalt and tomato red!  Blouse- Banana Republic (o...

Hard to believe that Sunday will be February already! This month has brought colder temps, cloudy and sunny days and even snow. Mother Nature has a sense of humor at times and has been somewhat bipolar in her temperature offerings. I also participated in a fun style challenge called "Calling All Preps" and  was excited to mix and match some things up in my closet.  Here goes the recap: Saturday, Jan 17- no outfit post but I had to show off these pretties for Red Shoes Day!  Shoes- Just Fab (recent) Sunday, Jan 18- This outfit was recapped in last week's Sunday Style post. Check it out for all of the details!  Monday, Jan 19- No work for me since it was a bank holiday but later in the day, we went out for dinner so I put on the basic blogger outfit and headed out to get some Mexican food! This was the first day of the style challenge which was Vests and Plaid.  Scarf- Zara (old) Vest- J Crew Factory (old) Sweatshirt- Ta...

This past week was all about plaid! I joined a style challenge that had us wearing plaid all week so each day was a different plaid. I also found different ways to mix and match some things that I already had in my closet so this was a win-win!  Monday- I actually wrote a post last week about this outfit called Diary of a Mad Plaid Woman- check it out! I talk about my love affair with plaid and mixing and matching prints. I really loved this outfit and the scarf is so soft and colorful!  Vest- Land's End (last year) Scarf- Express (recent) Gingham shirt- JCrew Factory (summer) Sweater- Banana Republic (last year) Jeans- Eloquii (summer) Pearl bracelet- Loft (summer) Blue stone bracelet- JCrew Factory (summer) Tuesday- Um, green pants?

I'm wearing this warm faux fur snood again from Target and some glitt...
