Weekend Edition: My Life on Instagram

Happy Monday all!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I’m still adjusting to life without my laptop. I never considered myself to be someone who is dependent on a computer but this situation has proven me wrong!  While my laptop is being repaired,  I’ve decided not to let it stop me from posting .  While I can’t post an outfit, I can share with you some of my Instagram pics!  If you are Instagram follow me at grownandcurvywoman.  Hope to see you there!

Have a great day!

Dear Santa…

Happy Monday all!

My 8-year-old goddaughter still believes in Santa Claus (she told me so over dinner two weeks ago) so that got me to thinking…what if Santa was real? I’ve been a little naughty this year but overall I was  a good girl so  here’s my Christmas Wish list!

Coach
Coach by bxphlgal featuring a travel tote

Santa this vibrant Coach tote would make me smile everyday and not be a Grinch when its cold outside! Plus its roomy enough  to carry  all my Christmas gifts! (okay I know that’s laying it on a little thick Santa).

Talbots
 
 

Santa  I NEED this coat like yesterday! The color is vibrant and  a great alternative to my old black coat.   Santa can’t you see me wearing my yellow Coach tote with this coat?! OMG!

Ann Taylor

What girl doesn’t like a little sparkle Santa?! This necklace is gorgeous! P.S. Tell Mrs. Claus to keep her paws off!

Vince Camuto

Santa you know how much I love a great black and white print!  This blouse would be perfect with my leather pencil skirt or red trousers.  I expect this number under the Christmas tree or no cookies for you!

Whats on your Christmas Wish list?

Have a wonderful day!

Summer Hold Over

Happy Monday all! Hope you had a great weekend and turned those clocks back!

Like almost everybody I try to the get the most wear out of my clothing. Some of myclothes are interchangeable from season to season like this Adrianna Papell dress I’m wearing today. I first wore it in the Spring but always felt that the dress was more for the Fall. So when the weather cooled down I couldn’t wait to slap on some black tights and ankle boots with this dress. Instead of a black cardigan or blazer I opted for my faux leather Kohl’s jacket. As you can see I’m getting ALOT of usage out this jacket! Honestly I wear it about 3 times a week. The jacket has been my go to  instead of wearing a black blazer or cardigan. I like how it adds just a little edge to my outfit.

How do you get the most wear out of your clothes?

Have a great evening!

Tough as Leather

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Leather has always been a Fall/Winter staple but this year it’s everywhere from panels in trench coats to skirts. Here are a few pieces that you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe. Leather jackets are great because you can wear it with pants or dresses. If leather jackets are not your speed, why not a leather skirt with a pretty blouse? Leather is a good way to add polish and edge to your outfit. Give it a try to see how you feel, you might just like how you look!

What leather styles are you willing to try?

Have a great day!
