Curvy Girl on the Run

Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! Well we are halfway through this week and today’s the last day of February already! I can’t believe how fast this month flew by compared to January that felt like it had 105 days in it!  This last week was interesting to say the least. I didn’t post on Wednesday last week- I did a day late on Thursday since I didn’t have enough time on Wednesday. But I did want to share a story about kindness that happened to me on that day. Amongst all of the sadness and bad things that are happening in the world, one thing did make me believe a little more in the kindness of humans- in this case, kindness of strangers.  It goes like this. It was cold and rainy all last week here in Texas. The temps were in the 30’s and if it were Michigan, it would have been snow. I digress. My sensor for my tires goes off in my car. It shows the passenger front tire is low- like extremely low. However, glancing at it would not show this. I decided I would go to the gas station...

Happy Sunday! I want to share a beautiful dress with you all but I also want to talk about the Phoenix. The reason this idea came about is because this dress from  Atelier Sorokka  is called the Phoenix! I looked up the definition of what a Phoenix is and found it to be a bird in Greek mythology that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. I started thinking about my life and how I think this bird represents me. I’m in the middle of my own regeneration and rebirth of loving myself and learning to live again. While I don’t need to share everything with you all and go into detail, I do want you to know that I’m a survivor and I’m back to caring for myself the way I should. We all need love but we have to start with loving ourselves first.  So this Phoenix arises from the ashes of its predecessor. It regenerates from the bird it was before and becomes a new bird. How many of us need to look at life differently perhaps and renew ourselves? I think it doesn’t mean a...

This week has just gotten the better of me I think! I am happy tomorrow is Friday because honestly, I'm looking forward to sleeping in or just staying in bed on Saturday morning! It seems like everyone across the country is having weird weather so maybe that's part of my uckiness- for lack of a better word... So, I usually share with you all what I've been up to and this week is no different! I just finished the book  Lily and the Octopus  and it was very good. I have to say that I legit ugly cried and it was no joke. The book was well written but it is about a dog who has a tumor on its head. It's no spoiler for me to tell you that. I would recommend reading the book as it is just phenomenal how this man loves his dog. It's a book about relationships past and present and I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.  I also watched the whole season one show of  The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel  on Amazon Prime. Oh I loved this show!! I mean first of all the fashion is d...

In today's post I am wearing this amazing dress from  Fashion Nova Curve   I have to admit that I have never tried a dress like this before but I kind of love it!  I love the way this dress hugs my curves and I love the peekaboo strips in this dress! This dress is called the  Side to Side dress  and you can use my code ONTHERUN for a discount!  As I was taking pictures today, it reminded me of the song Dressed In Black by Sia. I didn't know this song until someone I used to know shared it with me. I still remember driving around listening to him sing it. I remember downloading it after that and now I am always reminded of a time when life was good and fun and easy.  I love this song because she talks about how she basically is getting a second chance at life and at love. Some people think her feelings come from being sober and having a sponsor while others equate it to love. I am a hopeless romantic at heart so I equate it to love....

For today's post, I want to share with you all an online consignment store called  swap.com . This was my first experience using this site so I thought I'd share more with you all. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my live video I did while unboxing everything I got. If you didn't, it's okay because I'm going to give you a recap!  The process of checking out the site and ordering was very easy. Picking out items wasn't as easy because I wanted to put so much in my cart! I love how they show you new arrivals and of course you can also filter by size and color etc for easier selections. I also love how they label each item with the condition of it as well as other pertinent information. I was given a credit from swap.com so I had a budget to stay within and I also wanted to purchase items that were brand new or gently worn.  I thought I'd look for something that would be great to wear on a date or out to dinner or to a play. Something I could ...

I thought I'd bring this dress out to play for today's Sunday Style post! Gunmetal is a color of gray that has a bluish or purplish tint to it. It's funny because as I was looking up the word gunmetal, it is actually more about a red or copper process. Only this color is actually gray.  This dress from  Fashionnova Curve  has a daring slit up the front and a low cut top with full sleeves. The cut of this  Full Grown Knot dress  is so slimming with the twist in the front as well. It is lighterweight and more form-fitting but overall I love this dress. It is definitely a show stopper!  I paired some high black heels with this dress and added silver accessories and a leopard clutch. I like the accents of black and silver with it as they all flow very well together.  Here are a few pictures of this beautiful gunmetal dress:  I hope you all have been having a wonderful weekend! Mine has flown by! Hard to believe it's already Sunday night and back to th...

Hey everyone! I haven't written on here for a little bit on Wednesdays because I have been busy! I think everyone knows by now that I am on unemployment now and I am taking some time off of work to work on my blog and continue to work with Lularoe. I am at peace with my situation for the time being and just enjoying a little bit of down time from the corporate world.  Before I forget, one of my favorite companies, Karina Dresses , that I write about all of the time has launched a new collection called Garden Party. OMG! You guys I love all of the prints and fabrics and this collection is a home run! I am wearing the Ruby Dress in Boho Blossoms and it is true love! Here are some pics of me in this gorgeous dress:  I have linked it for you and you can also click on the button on the right to go directly to their site.  So here's what else I have been up to lately! In the way of restaurants, I did visit a new one called True Food Kitchen and it wa...
