Curvy Girl on the Run

Has anyone ever told you that you shouldn't wear something? Like maybe not a certain article of clothing even but maybe a style? Big girls shouldn't wear stripes. Big girls shouldn't wear strapless. Big girls shouldn't wear... The list goes on and on.  Why shouldn't you wear what you love? Why can't you wear what you want? I'm of the school of thought that it it fits properly, it will look great. Two people could have completely different body types and still wear the same item as long as it fits properly. If it's hanging off your body so loosely, it looks just as bad as if it's too tight. It's the fit that counts. I wish more people realized this!  I have big arms. I'm still going to wear strapless. You know why? Because I love the way it looks and feels. Get a good strapless bra and you're good to go.  I'm wide and I have big hips. I also love stripes. Get over it. I'm not tiny but that doesn't stop me from wearing a pattern...

I hate the movie Finding Nemo. There I said it. It's annoying to me that the mom dies at the beginning of the movie. Why do Disney movies always have to have a parent die? Usually it's the mom which annoys me even more. Why not the dad? But the movie is a lovely one in which the dad tries to find the fish child that has gotten separated from him.

Take a step back though and really think about it. Do you really know yourself? Do you really know what you like to do? Do you know what you enjoy? Do you really know who you are? What about when you are alone with only your thoughts? What about when you are forced to discover all of these th...

I've actually been wanting to write about this for a while. It's something that has been heavy on my heart though a lot recently. The Awkward Years? Remember those? You might even be reading this and thinking that you are still in your Awkward Years.     Recently, I received a couple of comments that could be perceived as negative on Instagram and it started to make me think about why I am doing this blog in the first place.   Why am I letting people into my private life by showing outfits that I come up with? Why am I showing the world how I look today?    I love fashion and I also love the fact that I can get creative and mix and match things- i.e. my love for pattern mixing, etc. Social media allows us to look into peoples' lives and also allows us an easy avenue to express our opinions or ask questions that quite possibly shouldn't be asked. I will tell you why I am writing this post at this exact time.   There are really a few reasons for th...
