Curvy Girl on the Run

You can wear white after Labor Day. Forget all of those ancient rules that you learned from your mom and grandma. I happen to think white is a beautiful color (or non-color which ever way you want to view it). White can be a color that symbolizes many things. Purity, safety, cleanliness. It's also considered to be the color of perfection. For me, it also represents a new beginning or wiping the slate clean.  White can be worn in its purest form or can be worn in various other shades like off white or cream. I'm not always a big fan of white but these white jeans from Royalty for Me  are so practical and can be worn in so many different ways.  Don't feel that you can only wear white jeans in the summer either! I'm wearing them in the dead of winter and I like it! The first look is with a long sleeve shirt, blanket scarf and boots. I then added a sweater and a clutch for more layering. I'm loving the results! What do you think?  ...

I'm a little behind this week in posting but I've been super busy and just haven't had time to write.

Read all about this comfortable look!  Monday, Jan 26- I love mustard and burgundy together but I spiced it up with a striped tee and a plaid scarf. Loving the results!  Scarf- Zara (old) Sweater and tee- Loft (old) Jeans- Land Bryant (old) Boots- DSw (old) Tuesday, Jan 27- I am in love with this combo!

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...

December is officially over. Hard to believe we are in 2015! I don't know about you all but the hardest part of a new year is getting the year right when you write it down!  I was feeling much better for the end of the month and tried to get back to posting regular outfits daily. I hate not feeling well enough to get out and about!  So here is a breakdown of the remaining outfits for the month! Enjoy!  Monday- 12/22- This was my next to last day of work in 2014 and I couldn't have been happier! Wearing a warm sweater and colorful shirt and jeans for the day.  Sweater- JCrew Factory (last year) Shirt- Joe Fresh for JCP (old) Cobalt jeans- Lane Bryant (old) Pearl necklace- JCrew Factory (last year) Boots- DSW (old) Tuesday 12/23- Mint and gray is such a great combo! I wrote a post about this last week too since it was such a fun outfit!  Vest- Target (recent) Mint sweater- Old Navy (recent) Gray jeans- Old Navy (onl...

Well it happened. Another month gone. This past week we celebrated Thanksgiving with both mine and my husband's families. We celebrated the end of one season and the beginning of another one.  Here are my looks from this past week: Monday- It was a casual day for me. You know what's funny? I wore a similar outfit with this same plaid shirt on Monday of this week too. I think it's simple and easy to throw together as well as super comfy.  Vest- Lands End (last year) Shirt- Old Navy (last year) Jeans- Eloquii (summer this year) Boots- DSW (old) Tuesday- I decided to wear a combo that I had been thinking about for a while. There's nothing better than pink and red and glitter and leopard on a Tuesday!  Sweater- Banana Republic (last year) Skirt- Ann Taylor (last year) Shoes- DSW (recent) Clutch- Forever 21 (last year) Wednesday- Another look with this blanket scarf! I love this midi skirt and thought it was warm enough to wear...

I am pretty sure that most women own a little black dress. A black dress is so easy to dress up or dress down and I thought I would give you all some ideas today. I'm upping the ante and showing outfits with a wrap dress because they are fun and so figure-flattering! I found this wrap dress on the clearance rack at Old Navy probably a year or two ago. The tag said $6.99 on it so I either paid that or probably even less knowing me!  The first look is a great look for a date night or night out. The dress itself is a blank canvas so I dressed it up with a beautiful statement necklace, polka dot tights and high heels with bows for Kohls. These shoes were a steal compared to their look alikes from a Kate Spade. I'm also carrying a bright orange clutch for a pop of color! I found this clutch at Goodwill!  The second look is also still a bit more dressed up and how I would wear it to work. I have pearls on and a bright green bracelet. The bright green bracelet satis...
