Daily MelWear: A Challenge

Hi everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty great! Saturday night I threw a surprise party for my husband (I did take pictures of my dress but will save those for another post) and it was GREAT!

This week I decided that in light of recent events, I'm going to impose a fashion challenge on myself.  But I'm not going to tell you what it is. Although you're all really smart and can probably figure it out. You can take guesses though. I don't have a prize for the winner; just the satisfaction of knowing you're right. :)

This purplish-pink shirt has been in my closet for a while and I've thought about getting rid of it several times. I really like the floral embellishment on the left side which is why I've kept it, plus I think the bright color is really pretty, but it's a little too big, the shoulders slip down and it's kind of long. 

I put it on over top of the black dress that I wore to church on Sunday and kind of liked the idea of layering something underneath. I didn't wear it on Sunday so I figured I'd try it today. My first instinct was a black shirt but then I decided to look for another color that would play nicely and the green just jumped out at me. The gray slacks and silver stilettos were the neutrals I needed, along with the black necklace and belt. 

Honestly I think these pictures turned out a lot better than the outfit did in person. I do really like the color combo.  The sleeves are still slipping down so mayb next time I'll pick a shirt with sleeves to layer underneath instead of a tank. 

So how was your weekend? Do you have any fun plans for tonight or this week?

Today's outfit:

Purple Floral Tee: Plato's Closet
