Curvy Girl on the Run

Happy Sunday! I’m all about comfort during the holidays, how about you? I think Thanksgiving is always one that is good to wear your loose fitting clothes so I have a couple of casual looks I think you’re going to love!  These items are all from  Christopher and Banks  so you can shop them online as well as in store! I love how dresses can be dressed up or down and I love how these two dresses are simple but elegant.  The first look is this fun sweater dress! I love the simple look of it and I made it super casual by pairing some brown riding boots with it as well as some fun jewelry! It’s such a simple look but one that I think is very classy! You could also dress this up by putting heels with it instead and adding some sparkly jewelry!  I love all of the brown tones in this dress! I paired two different necklaces together and added the matching earrings and I love this look!  You can shop the dress  here   You can shop the jewelry  here ...

We just saw him last month at my brother in law's wedding. He was his usual self cracking jokes and being ornery.  He wasn't feeling great then but it wasn't about him, it was about the wedding. He left to go home to Arizona a couple of days later and little did we know it would be the last time we spoke to him.  This weekend we remembered my husband's grandfather who passed away. It's hard losing a loved one in general but especially during the holiday season.  As I sat in the funeral mass yesterday, I listened to the message that the priest brought. He said It is just a season that we don't see our loved ones. Much like in the winter, things have to die and then come back in the spring. We will have a season of loss and grieving but we will have those memories close to us that help us grow and to remember him. While a loss is not something that you ever fully recover from, it does get better over time.  Now we are in the season of Thanks and Giving...
