After a quiet weekend, my girlfriends and I decided to head out Sunday night. It’s been awhile since we’ve gone out dancing. Back in the day, we would club hop until the wee hours of the morning and get into all kinds of mischief. Now when we hang out, we’re calling it a night at 10:30pm! While club hopping has lost it’s luster, once in a while we like to get gussied up and head out to shake our groove thangs! LOL
How was your weekend?!
Have a great day!

To say that I love dresses is a serious understatement. I love how they cling to my body and accentuate my curves. There was a time where I associated dresses only with special occasions such as weddings. Back then if you asked me to wear one, I would scoff and ask “why?” Now instead of throwing on a pair of jeans and tee to run errands, I make a bee line for the maxi dress!
This is the last week of the Spring Trends challenge and the final trend on the list is emerald green. If you haven’t heard, Pantone has crowned it the color of the season (side note: Who is Pantone? Lol). I decided to end this thing with a bang and combine emerald-green with ALL the trends (black & white, floral and leather) featured in the challenge!
Please check out the other bloggers participating in the challenge for their take on emerald green:
What can I say, I absolutely love this skirt! Unfortunately I haven’t worn it in a while because of the brutal cold but today the weather was in the upper 50’s so I whipped it out! I paired it with my green peplum top, dark green faux leather jacket and leopard print kitten heels to keep in season. Now that the weather is slowly improving, this skirt will get a lot of wear.
What clothes are you excited to wear once the weather gets warmer?
P.S. The bag was my other birthday gift to myself 😉
Yesterday was my blog’s first anniversary! YAY!!!!
This time last year I nervously clicked the “publish” button and viola! Grown and Curvy Woman was born. This little blog has made a BIG impact on my life. Blogging has really opened and expanded my world in such a positive way. It has taught me to be more creative, self-confident and less shy. I’m now more willing to step outside my comfort zone and try new things. My blog has also given me a source of pride that I haven’t felt in years.
There are two people I need to thank because without them I wouldn’t be here. Thank you Thomasena for introducing me to WordPress and encouraging me to start my blog. There are not enough ways to say thank you to Tamera (aka Le Mer) for her unwavering support. When I asked Tamera a year ago if she would take my blog pictures (with my iPhone no less! LOL) she didn’t hesitate to say yes. To this day, Tamera still takes my blog photos.
And to my awesome readers,THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your support. Your wonderful comments and emails mean so much and have inspired me to keep blogging. Again, THANK YOU!!!!
Have a wonderful day!
