Curvy Girl on the Run

I cannot believe that we are already into June! May came and went very quickly for me. I had some projects due at work and some other personal things going on and looking back, the month was a blur. I have already decided that June will be a better month and I'm off to a great start!  Today's post will be recapping the last few days of the Marvelous May Style challenge. I had such a great time doing this challenge and met a lot of new friends as well! I think everyone did such a great job and was so creative with their outfits! I feel this challenge accomplished my three goals: 1) provide a creative outlet for people to get dressed each day, 2) meet some new fashionista friends and 3) dress from my own closet instead of buying more. I'm excited that so many people have already been doing the Joyful June Style challenge!  Day 28- My Favorite Color- my favorite color is really jade green; however, I love all brighter colors. I wore this green dress and accessorized wi...

Weird title for my Sunday Style post today, right? Let me explain. Today starts the beginning of the Joyful June Style Challenge and the theme is Skirting the Issue. Naturally I'm wearing a skirt today but a couple of my friends on Instagram also decided that since pineapples are the new thing and that June 1 should be Pineapple Shirt Day.

I love remixing my clothes to make them go farther so why not wear it with a skirt and create a new look?  I'm pairing it with this navy blue pleated skirt from J Crew that I got a while back. I didn't have a navy skirt in my closet other than my sailor skirt so I thought it would be a good investment. I'm wea...

We have only a couple more days left in May and I still cannot believe how quickly this month has flown by! I have been extremely busy these last few weeks primarily with work, but also in my personal life.   I find that I need to stop and think and live in the now because before you know it, you will be looking back and time will have flown by! Time is one thing that does not stop! Anyways, enough of that! I first rolled out the style challenge last week on Friday on Instagram.   I received a lot of requests from people asking for a June challenge since they enjoyed the May one so much. I am flattered that people have been doing the challenge and have been loving it! My goal is to create something that we can show our own personal style while having fun and wearing our clothes from our closet. I also love to build up and encourage other by showcasing a look from each day on the blog. More on that later… I also am participating in no shopping for the summer (with...
