Curvy Girl on the Run

Well, I finally have seen it all. Now I know what my mom meant when she said everything comes back in style. I'll admit I am not a fan of these things called culottes. Hear me out: if you know me, you know that I had to wear skirts and culottes growing up- no pants. I don't think I ever wore a pair of pants until I was in my 20's. Please please please do not take this as a dig on those that only wear skirts and culottes. I follow some beautiful girls on Instagram and on blogs that only wear skirts and dresses. I love their style and I also wear a lot more skirts and dresses because I am very comfortable in them. I also personally feel more confident in them as well but I do wear pants more during the colder months. I just want you to listen to my side of the story.  When you are a certain age, you start to notice others around you and see that you are different. While I will be the first one to tell you that we are all unique and that you should be yourself, I will also...

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...

Sometimes you see something and know that it will look as great on as it will be comfy. Why not throw on a dress and some tights and boots and be done? To me, this look was super easy to put together with stuff I already had and it took just as much effort (or maybe even less) to throw it on and get ready than some bum-around clothes. I threw the faux fur vest on top for a little more fun and visual interest.  Here are a few pictures of this casual yet classy look today: There you have it- super easy for Sunday! This is a different look for me but I'm not hating it and will probably try this again a different way!  Dress- Loft (last year) Vest- Banana Republic (old) Boots- DSW (old) Tights- Target (recent) Pearls- JCrew (old) Hope you're all having a great day! That's for reading and following along with me!  Sandae

The weather has kind of been cooperating this year- not as cold or as much snow as last year. I've been enjoying the somewhat milder temps and it's also been great seeing the sun stay out for a little later in the day! Spring will be here before we know it!  I thought I'd recap the second week of January which also included a quick weekend trip to Raleigh- no coat required! Nine whole outfits to recap this time!  Thursday, Jan 8- I started with a Pinned It, Spinned It outfit and spinned the dress into a completely different outfit with gray, coral and burgundy. I love the way it turned out!  Shirt, sweater, jeans and boots- Old Navy (last year) Necklace- Viva La Jewels (online) Fur vest- Target (last year)  Mug- Starbucks (last year)  Friday, Jan 9- Fair Isle Friday! Repeat outfit that is easy, comfy and warm!  Sweater- J Crew Factory (last year) Shirt- Joe Fresh via JC Penney (old) Jeans- Lane Bryant (old) Bo...

I am wearing some of my favorite things in today's post: a sweater with a fun design, tomato red pants and shoes with sparkle. Let's not forget a great tote!  I didn't want to wear too much jewelry or accessories today because I wanted to let my outfit speak for itself. It's saying "I'm fun and casual with minimal effort". This is the perfect outfit for a Sunday morning to wear to church and lunch afterwards. I'm enjoying my three day weekend and will be heading out for a massage later this afternoon too.  Here are a few pics from today's look: Sweater- J Crew Factory (Christmas) Pants- Eloquii (recent) Shoes- Old Navy (Christmas) Reversible Tote- Under One Sky (available at target.com) Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! Thanks for reading and following along with me!  Sandae 

It's hard to believe we are already half way through January! So far it's been a great month and I'm feeling super positive about the new year and new possibilities. I mentioned in my last post that I am a little farther behind in blogging than usual but I plan on catching up quickly!  Here's the first recap of 2015!  Thursday Jan 1- no outfit post- I was super busy posting on Poshmark and not really worrying about what I was wearing... Friday Jan 2- I found this super cute plaid vest on clearance and I loved the print so much I knew I needed to get it! Such a fun addition to my closet!  Vest- Land's End (recent- clearance) Sweater- J Crew Factory (fall) Chambray shirt- Old Navy (old) Pearls- J Crew Factory (old) Jeans- Eloquii (summer) Boots- DSW (old)  Saturday Jan 3- No outfit post again for this day but I got lots of cleaning and organizing done and just wanted to enjoy the rest of my vacation!  Sunday Jan 4- I wore...
