Curvy Girl on the Run

I've always loved butterflies. I love going to the zoo or the gardens and visiting the butterfly houses. Butterflies are beautiful and colorful and are the perfect example of something that was ugly that transformed into something beautiful.  For a while, like for maybe a few years, I wanted a butterfly tattoo. I remember when I was working in California, my friend came over and had gotten a tattoo on her wrist. I liked her tattoo and told her that I wanted to get one of a butterfly. She drew one on my wrist and I remember thinking I wasn't quite brave enough to get one- yet.  Fast forward and my life has changed. Butterflies symbolize many things and every time I look down at my wrist, I am reminded of how far I've come and how far I have to go. Butterflies can mean good luck to some people or they can mean everything's going to be all right. It really depends on who you talk to. For me, butterflies symbolize the following things:        1) But...

Confession: I've been saving these pictures for a few weeks...When my girl Lynsie and I meet up, we do several photo shoots and try to collaborate on our posts.

A wood watch? That's a clever idea! That's what I thought when I first saw a watch from JORD. Then I got my own and loved it!  I wanted to share this company with you as it was new to me so it might be new to you as well. You can find them located online at  www.woodwatches.com  and you can check out all of their fantastic pieces for yourself.  These gorgeous timepieces are crafted by artists, designers and watchsmiths. They focus on their deep appreciation for natural elements and modern design when creating each piece.  I love the different colors and designs of each one of these pieces. They are each so unique and you're bound to find one that matches your personality! I have been wearing mine non-stop since I received it and have gotten tons of compliments on it!  Here are a few pictures of my watch: I hope you'll check out this company and let me know what you think!  Already planning my next watch purchase!  Thanks for reading ...

I'm so thrilled to introduce you all to a designer who make clothes that fit and flatter my shape and also look great!  Such fun, bold and graphic prints and styles! I can't get enough of them! I'm wearing the Erin maxi dress in the optic squares print. I love the way this dress fits and the material is so comfortable! I dressed it up in a casual way with some gold wedge sandals and some jewelry. Such a fun look!  Here are some pictures of this gorgeous dress:  This was such a fun time showing off this dress around Charlotte! Thanks again to Nikki for letting me showcase her beautiful designs! You can find her on Instagram @nikki.poulos, on Facebook www.facebook.com/nikkipoulosclothing and on Twitter @nikkipoulos. Happy browsing!  Thanks for reading and following along with me!  Sandae

It happened again. My friend Łynsie met up with me in Charlotte and we used some of our time together to once again take pictures. I love being out of town and finding new and unique spots to take pictures and I am in love with this church that we found!  You know what else I like? A dress like this that enhances my shape, has a great print, and has pockets! But guess what else! I paid $6 for this dress- brand new! Who says that shopping on a budget means buying clothes you don't love?  I happened upon this dress in JCPenney and immediately loved it. It was marked down on clearance for $25 and I had a $10 off coupon. Even for $15 it was a steal! I got up to the register and it rang up as $16 and then I used my $10 off coupon. Wow! I love finding such great bargains!  This dress has it all and I am so glad I found it. It has such southern charm and is perfect for an afternoon tea, a wedding, a baby shower or even wearing to church.  Here are some pictu...

Today's Sunday Style post is a different one. I didn't actually wear this to church today but I will tell you that I wore it around town in Charlotte earlier this week! My fabulous friend Lynsie from Similar Styles  came to visit me in the evening after work and we took advantage of the surroundings and did a photo shoot! The folks over at  Shabby Apple  sent me this beautiful tulle skirt and I couldn't be happier with it! It's such a fun piece of clothing and it was so much fun taking these pictures wearing it!  Be prepared for cuteness overload! This was so much fun!  Love love love this girl! We had so much fun and we're already planning our next adventure!  Hope you all have had a great Sunday!  Thanks for reading and following along with me!  Sandae
