My Life on Instagram

Happy Tuesday all!

Yesterday Hurricane Sandy  wrecked havoc in my area but  I made it safely through the storm.  Things are slowly getting back to normal and Sandy has moved on! Good riddance!

Some of you that follow me on Twitter know that I am also on Instagram.  I always wanted to put my Instagram pics on my blog but WordPress didnt allow it…until yesterday!   To celebrate this I wanted to share some of  my favorite Instagram pics with you!

If you are on Instagram, please follow me at grownandcurvywoman!

Have a great day!

Fall Foliage

Happy Hump Day all!

Seeing the leaves turn is one of my favorite parts of Autumn. The warm hues are lush and bright especially in the afternoon sun. I’m fortunate to see this wonderful display of color everyday when I walk to the train station. My outfit today is inspired by changing leaves and their brilliant colors.

What is your favorite part of Fall?

Have a wonderful evening!

TGIF everyone!

This is the fourth time I’ve posted an outfit wearing these pink cropped pants, so needless to say, I love them very much!   Before I packed them away for the Fall/Winter,  I wanted to give them one last hurrah.  What better day than  Friday to wear these bright, fun pants!  I added  a black & white  striped  sweater, black flats and a flowered necklace (my newest love!) to complete my look.  I must say I feel very Kate Spade-ish in this outfit!  I’m sad to see the pants go, but don’t worry they’ll be back!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Monday everybody!

I should be relaxing on my day off  but  instead I’m trying to finish up my  “To Do” list from the weekend.  When I usually  run errands  I wear jeans, sneakers and a sweater because its quick and easy.  Today I updated my errand “uniform” because you can be stylish and comfortable while going to the grocery store.  Instead of wearing jeans, I wore red cords for a pop of color. I decided to substitute the sweater with a denim shirt.   I slipped on leopard print flats which are just as comfortable as  my sneakers.  By making these simple changes  my boring errand “uniform” turned  into a cute outfit.

Do you have an errand “uniform”? If so, how would you make it more stylish?

Have a wonderful day!
