Daily MelWear: Purple Leopard

This outfit is a prime example of why something that is slimming isn't necessarily better. It drives me crazy when people say "don't wear horizontal stripes because they make you look bigger" or "don't wear this type of cut because it's not very slimming." Just because something makes you look slimmer doesn't mean it makes you look better overall.

This skirt is not very slimming on me at all, but this outfit makes me happy anyway! Every single part of this outfit (except for the booties and the cardigan) is out of code. It's a good thing I don't have any meetings today. And my boss isn't here. Heh. {Uh...except I just realized that I have a deliver a packet to one of our board members. Whoops.}

I have something to tell you about! The ever adorable Hope from Hope and the Dress Code and I have teamed up to create what we're calling Fabulous In February: A Month of Positivity. We've decided that too many of us tend to be very negative towards ourselves and we believe that if everyone was more positive, the entire world would be a better place.

So here is our challenge: Each Monday in February beginning on the 7th (because Mondays always seem the most negative, so we want to change that!), we are challenging all of YOU to include in your regular blog post three positive things about yourself - every Monday, three new things. They can be physical aspects, something you're good at, something for which you're grateful about yourself (no being grateful for things that you have, this is to be positive just about who and what you are), anything that brings positivity to YOU. Hope and I will each have a place to link up every Monday so we can all join in the positive goodness together!

If you don't write your own blogs, my challenge to you is to leave a comment on these posts with your three positive things!

I am SO excited about this! I really think this will do so much to change everyone for the better!
