Curvy Girl on the Run

This week's challenge was so much fun! I see more and more pictures for each day's challenge. I love seeing how creative everyone is too!  Day 15- Thrifted Thursday- I know there are a lot of us that love going thrifting and looking for items to build our wardrobes. Sometimes I get lucky and find something that's really good. I think this floral dress is just that! I remember finding this dress at the Goodwill earlier this year. I have worn it before with a chartreuse cardigan and belt so I thought I would change it up and wear a bright blue jacket this time.  I chose to feature @mythriftycloset365 for this day. I love the bright green color of her dress and I loved her attitude and smile in this picture. She just looks like she is loving life and having fun!  Day 16- Living Life to the Max(I)- I love maxi dresses! I read once that maxi dresses are like crotchless yoga pants. I can live with that! I think a great maxi can be dressed up or down and they...

I've told you all that I look for inspiration everywhere. It can be in magazines, on the internet, on television or in real life. For today's outfit, I happened to be in Target a while back and noticed this signage that inspired my look today: I had this skirt from Target and a mint top from J C Penney already and the cardigan happened to be on sale that week so I grabbed it. I had a Loft bow belt and a pair of shoes from TJ Maxx that I knew would be perfect with it so I knew this look would be easy for me to recreate. What I love about this look is that I don't think I would have ever paired these colors together but I love the way they look! That's why I look for inspiration everywhere I go!  Today's Marvelous May Style challenge is that's so clutch so this outfit wouldn't be complete without a cute clutch! I decided to carry this cute straw one from Banana Republic that I got last summer. It's fun and functional. I also piled on the turq...

Well, it happened again! Another week flew by! This style challenge has been so much fun! I know I made it up but I am allowed to say that it's been fun, right? I have enjoyed seeing everyone's pictures on Instagram and have loved connecting with new people!  Day 8- My Favorite Things- I always say my favorite things aren't things- but if I had to choose some things that I love to wear and use, this picture is a good example! I love wearing dresses (especially with pockets), statement necklaces, leopard print, bows on toes- you get the idea!  I chose to feature my pal Keila @mommyinmilwaukee on this day for a couple of reasons- first of all, she is one of the most adorable expectant mothers I have ever seen! Secondly, how could I not pick her since we match?  Day 9- Silver Linings- every cloud has a silver lining- we've ll heard this before so why not show off our silver? I'm doing this in the form of both shoes and accessories and wearing Old ...

Today's Marvelous May Style challenge is Mother Knows Best. I only titled it this day because I'm sure that our mothers have all given us some advice somewhere along the line. Maybe it was related to fashion or maybe not. I don't think mine gave me much advice relating to fashion. In life though, she always said be yourself.  For today's outfit, I am definitely being myself! Wearing bright colors and favorite sandals, today's outfit is about function and fashion. I chose this Land's End dress today because the weather is pleasant and I knew we would be out and about today. It's definitely comfortable to be running around in!  I love the colors in this dress- orange and turquoise are two of my favorite colors! I copied the model in the catalog and mixed two beaded necklaces together that I had. I'm wearing these sandals from Bass that I have had for a while (they go with everything) and carrying my thrifted handbag.  Here are some pictures of ...

May the fourth be with you! Okay- there's a little Star Wars humor for you! But seriously, I cannot believe that we are already into May! Today's Marvelous May Style challenge was a simple one of May Florals. I thought this jacket would be perfect for the challenge as well as for the weather we have been having. It's still only in the 50's today so a jacket was a good idea, as far as I am concerned. I also usually wear a dress to church on Sundays but today I just didn't feel like it. I love that we go to a church that accepts you as you are and doesn't demand a certain attire in order for you to attend.  I'm wearing this bright floral jacket over one of my favorite peplum tops and I just paired it with jeans today. I don't know about you all but sometimes I just want to be comfortable and wear a pair of jeans! I'm also wearing a pair of studded flats that I bought last year but I have never worn! I'm glad for closet remix challenges so ...
