Curves Around the World: Sweatpants

Hello Lovelies!!! 
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Christmas is seriously around the corner and I've been running around getting things ready. But I absolutely love Christmas season, it just makes me so happy! 
But yeah it's that time again another "Curves Around the World" post time! This weeks theme was suggested by the lovely Thulie, sweatpants! Your probably thinking sweatpants really!?! And you know what it was my reaction at first too but then I thought of it as a great way to step out my comfort zone because I don't wear sweatpants as an outfit. Plus it's just the perfect time for sweatpants because it's been cold her in California! So hopefully I did this challenge justice! :) 
So here's the look that I came up with, I knew I wanted to dress up the sweatpants. The first thing I knew I wanted to add to the outfit was black heels because black heels can dress up any outfit. I actually had my pants rolled down at first but then it looked bulky around the heels so I pulled them up a bit and I really liked how it came out. What do you think of my heels with sweatpants?

I wanted to keep the top simple to pair with my sweatpants, so to add a little bit of flare I decided to wear my red faux leather bomber jacket. I haven't had an opportunity to wear this jacket this season, so I knew this would be a great time to pull it out and wear it. This jacket was a great find at Ross, it's really rare to find cute jackets in plus sizes at my Ross. So when I found this I knew I had to get it, plus it was only $20 and that's a great deal for a jacket. To top the outfit off I wore a sparkly beret to give it a little sparkle to the outfit! :) 

What do you think of my sweatpants outfit? Do you wear sweatpants out?

Curves Around the World: Red

Hey Lovelies! I hope your doing a wonderful, it's that time again for another "Curves Around the World" theme. This weeks theme is a very simple "Red!" Which seems to be a very popular theme for a lot of bloggers this week because as I was doing my rounds and reading different blogs, their are a lot of bloggers that posted "Red" looks this week! So what a great coincidence that our theme is "Red!" 
So with the theme being "Red" I thought it would be easy for me because it's one of my favorite colors. But when I looked at my clothes, I noticed I didn't own very much clothes that were red, I had a lot of red accents on my clothes but not really a whole piece that was red. But as I looked through my closet I found a pair of red jeans that I got from Forever 21+ awhile ago, that have never been worn. I got these pair of jeans on sale and I think they were only $6 and for jeans that's a deal I couldn't pass up. But I've never worn them before because red is such a bright color and it really makes you stand out. Don't get me wrong I love bright colors but for some reason these pair of red jeans scared me. So this theme was perfect for me to challenge myself to wear them.

So this is the outcome of the outfit, I went casual with the red jeans because I wore them to a friends birthday party which was very casual. I wanted the rest of the outfit to be more neutral because the red is so bright and the main focus of the outfit. That's why  I matched it with a black shirt from Forever 21+ that I absolutely love and I wear it a lot, and I'm actually surprised I've never worn it on the blog before. I didn't like it with just the black top so I wore an old vest that I own to break up the black a little bit. 
My friend took my pictures for me and this shot was a random one of me when I was trying to hide from the sun, but I thought it came out cute so I decided to put it in the blog. hehe As you can see the statement earrings theme seems to have inspired me to wear different earrings other then my regular hoops that I wear constantly. I didn't really get a shot of my earrings but I like that I am pushing myself to wear more things that I own that I don't usually wear because like the earrings and the jeans. 
Here's a closer shot of my jeans, I like how my friend took this photo the color of the grass next to my jeans looks pretty cool. But yeah in the picture you can tell it's not a solid red but like strands of red through the jeans and sometimes in certain lights they even look pink. But I think it's pretty cool and I like them because there a little different and I'm happy I decided to wear them for this weeks theme. I'm sure I'll wear them a lot more for fall/winter! 

What do you think of the color red? Is it something you wear a lot?

Now that you've seen my look don't forget to check out the other lovely ladies from "Curves Around the World" and see their great "RED" looks!
