Daily MelWear: Thief

I have a confession to make.

This scarf was stolen. 

From my daughter.

My mom bought it for her the other day while they were shopping because it was only $1 and she thought it'd be fun for her to play with.  Well...I saw it and liked it and figured I needed another scarf since I only have one. So I took it.

My daughter asked me about it this morning but I let her play with my other scarf and she was happy. So yay!

This outfit didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. I love the colors, but I think it might be time to retire this skirt.  Or at least only wear it with actual structured belts. Eh.

That's really all I've got for today. Tonight is our Access group Family Dinner and tonight's theme is Birthday Party because it's one of the girl's birthdays (hi Jennifer! Happy birthday!). We're having burgers and hot dogs (well, I'm having a black bean burger since I'm the only vegetarian), sides and CAKE!

Yay for cake!

How's your week been so far?

  6. So funny you're already borrowing clothes from your daughter! That's just the cutest thing :)

  7. I think the color of the top and the pink are nice together. Stolen scarves always do the job :)

  8. The colour is great! I don't quite get why you don't like that white skirt though! It's making me wish I had one!

  10. I think it looks pretty good, myself! I'm always self-conscious about throwing a scarf around my waist...I just feel like its adding extra bulk there...but some days it actually looks like I want it too--which is how yours looks today! :)

  11. Haha, I can't believe you and your daughter share clothes/accessories. Isn't she a really small toddler? I actually like the color of the belt but I think this outfit is already pretty fun in the first place and with the addition of the belt probably *too* fun.

    Your dinner thing sounds really delicious..mmm...cake.

  12. I love that you "borrowed" your daughter's scarf! I've stolen one of my dad's ties and wear it as a belt. Well, sort of stole...it was in the goodwill pile, and I decided I wanted it!

    And thanks so much for your comment on my post. I was definitely laughing at my mistakes. I had a momentary panic after the Febreeze-jacket mishap, but once I realized it wasn't belach, I was a-okay!

  16. Lol! You crack me up Melissa. I love the pink scarf used as a belt. The white skirt is lovely! Don't get rid of it or anything.

  17. I love how you're never afraid to wear color! Great pop of color, henceforth I am now using scarfs as belts!

  18. Have you tried wearing the skirt higher on the waist and belting it? I've been close to dumping skirts that sit lower on my waist but when I hike it up and belt it (or scarf it) it takes on a whole new life. Worth a try before it goes into retirement!
    And I wish I could borrow stuff from my kid, but he's a boy and his belts are about 18" long! :)

    And a black bean burger sounds sooo yummy! Have a great time at the dinner!

  22. Hey if something works with an outfit, sometimes you just have to appropriate it :). Lovely outfit, the pink is a nice splash of color!

  24. I know I used to go through my Mom's closet and 'borrow' her clothes! But now, she's been shopping in mine!

  28. LOL about the scarf! You look so pretty in these pics.

  29. Thanks everyone!

    Melanie, I tried hiking the skirt up a little higher but it's a little too big so it kept slipping. Maybe a belt is a better option for it instead of a scarf, a belt would keep in in place more securely.

    Yes, my daughter is only 3 years old so I don't typically go borrowing anything of hers. I just really liked this scarf! So my mom went back and bought a few other ones just for me. :) She spoils us.
