Gotta Have it for Spring

Happy Monday all!

Since I’ve been home recuperating from gallbladder surgery (I’ll be back to work on Thursday), I have been scouring the web for Spring must haves. I picked the items below because I know I’ll get a lot of use throughout the Spring and Summer. I haven’t had a good Spring trench coat in years so that was high on my list. The maxi dress and ankle pants can be worn with blazers and colorful cardigans as the weather warms. The chevron skirt can’t be worn now with opaque tights and my faux leather jacket. As for the flats, who can resist a pair of yellow ones?! I often use yellow as a neutral in many of my outfits so they will get a lot of wear. I’ve been wanting sliver heels because they are a great substitute for white shoes (which don’t look so good on me! LOL).

What are some of your Spring must haves?

Have a great day!

Summer Rewind

Happy Monday all!

Now that Fall is finally here , I wanted to take a look back at  my favorite Summer outfits.   These outfits were special to me because I have never been this colorful and happy wearing Summer clothes!   I used to dread Summer dressing but now  I look forward to next  year and more fashion fun!

What was your favorite outfit you wore this Summer?

Have a wonderful day!

Spotlight on You!

Good afternoon everyone!

Today Tamera (AKA “Le Mer”)  is our new “Spotlight on You” participant.  Tamera has been one of my biggest blog supporters and she is the photographer behind my lovely pics!  She approached me about being featured and of course I said yes!  Here’s what  Tamera had to say:

“Always wonder who takes those wonderful Grown and Curvy Woman pictures? Well, me of course, Le Mer! (LOL) Being on this journey with Georgette has been so fun and exciting. I’m so ecstatic about the notice and success of the blog. Can you believe my pictures for “Perfectly Pleated” were featured on WordPress  “Freshly Pressed”?!

I may not be “grown and curvy”, but I have learned great styling tips and am venturing out the box more. I was so excited when I found this colorful, floral maxi dress at Target for $8 (YAY!). Since I’m short, I generally have issues with maxi dresses being too long and dragging on the floor. This dress fit me perfectly and I liked that it accentuates my baby curves!

Big thanks to Georgette for trusting me with taking her pictures.”

Tamera is one of the most sweetest  people I know. She’s always has my back and I’m proud to call her a friend!

Those Crazy Lazy Wildwood Days

Happy Monday everybody!

To me nothing says Summer than a day at the Jersey shore.  My friends and I schedule a day to hang out, stroll the boardwalk & enjoy ourselves.

How  do you  spend a Summer day with friends?

Have a wonderful evening!

Chillin in the OC

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope your weekend is going great so far.

Vacationing in Ocean City, MD with my friends is one of the highlights of my summer. We spend  our days hanging out at the beach, soaking up sun at the pool and strolling on  the boardwalk eating funnel cake.  It’s a welcomed break from work and the seriousness of life. Plus it gives me the opportunity to reconnect with my friends and have a great time. I’m always sad when it ends but I look forward to doing it all over again next year!

Have a wonderful evening!

Me and my BFF of over 20 years!
