COLOR SPLASH

Just in case you weren't sure what my favorite color is... :D

I typically opt for narrower stripes on my clothes, but the wider, bold stripe pattern on this dress just feels right! I love it as a contrast to the flowery floral bag and statement necklace in muted pastels. I'm bummed out that the dress is sold out online, but you may have some luck in-store! I just picked it up last weekend--such a steal at $16!
Speaking of good deals, you'll never guess where I found these perfect, lavender, snake-embossed pumps. Wait for it...TJ Maxx!!! Shopping at the Maxx takes a lot of patience but the payoff can be amazinggg. I've also scored some amazing home decor deals, and they even carry some plus size clothing options! Takes some digging but the find is usually worth it!
 The necklace and bracelet are from ShinyMix, a jewelry retailer specializing in all things sparkly and, of course, shiny! I'm in love with their necklace selection; from the bold, colorful statement necklaces to the delicate wisps of gold chain carrying tiny pendants, ShinyMix has just the thing you need to update your jewelry box. They were sweet enough to offer Curvy Girl Chic readers with a discount code for 15% off--just use code "CurvyGirl" at checkout. To add to the sweet deal, they always offer free shipping to US customers! :)







Where are your favorite places to score a deal? Are any of the places I mentioned above among your favorites? :)

STARS & STRIPES

Happy President's Day! I promise it's just a coincidence that I'm wearing stars and stripes, lol.
I hope you all had a fantastic Valentine's Day weekend! My boyfriend and I snuck away for a weekend in Vegas--fantastic food, amazing front row seats at O (Cirque du Soleil is my favorite!), and not having to make the bed were just what we needed to recoup from our crazy busy weeks at work! 
What did you guys do this weekend? :) Any fun V-day stories? :D

statement piece

I have a hard time explaining why I love what I love, but this outfit from a couple weekends ago is probably one of the favorite looks ever! There's something about the colors and print that just make it special to me. Continue reading...

I've been on the hunt for a mirrored print dress for what seems like a lifetime now, but nothing I found was ever exactly what I was looking for. The prints were either too floral, not in a color scheme I loved, or just really not my style (again, how to describe? lol). Imagine my excitement when this beauty showed up online! And since it takes me forever to post anything on this ol' blog, it's on sale now for $29. The hoarder in me wants to buy a "backup" just in case I ever spill something on this one, but I'll resist.
