Daily MelWear: Outfit 3/30

Thank you guys so much for all of your advice and suggestions with the camera! I really appreciate it. I tried a couple of things this morning that helped just a teeny tiny bit (I think... Do you think these look a little better?).

Normally Thursdays are jeans day at work, but I figured since jeans are out of code anyway, it would be okay for me to be all out of code without jeans. One of my co-workers made the comment that we pay $1 to wear jeans, we don't pay $1 to be out of code in general...but I figure if my boss doesn't specifically tell me that it's not okay for me to wear these things (leopard print, although my boss is wearing a type of leopard print too, plus my blue tights, necklace and bracelet) then it's okay for me to wear them when I know we're not going to see anyone else outside of our office.



Tonight we're going to see Penn & Teller! I am SO excited! That's mainly why I didn't wear jeans today, I wanted to be a little more dressed up for going out. I suppose I could've dressed up my jeans...eh, oh well.

Tomorrow my ex-husband and I are taking our daughter to SeaWorld (I love 10-hour work days and having Fridays off!), and then this is his weekend with her so I'll probably spend the weekend trying to see if I can learn something, ANYTHING at all about cameras so that I can attempt more of your suggestions. 

AND - I'm working with a sponsor for a new giveaway scheduled for Monday! I'm very, very excited about this. You will be too. Trust me.  

How is YOUR week going?

Today's outfit:
Leopard Dress: Wal-Mart (I'm not kidding!)
Brown Jacket: Kohl's (I think...)
Blue Tights: Target
Blue Belt: I haven't the vaguest recollection
Brown Boots: Some outlet store years ago, I can't remember
Necklace: Charlotte Russe
Bracelet: Gift from ML (I love her!)


And a goofy shot. Just for kicks. Heh.

  4. I'm sure you've been over this but I'd love to know what your dress code actually is. I feel like everything you wear is "out of code" and nothing you wear seems at all inappropriate for an office. Are you in law or fiance? Regardless, I think you look adorable.

  9. YOW! You look hott!! Eff whatver your co-workers have got to say, they're just jealous at your fabulosity~

    (I'm also a bad rebel whenever it comes to dresscodes. Back in Middle school, I never wore a belt, tucked in my shirt or wore "appropriate shoes".)

  10. Wow! I would never be brave enough to wear a leopard-print dress, but I like how you have styled it! Oh, and I know what you mean about being a "cool" Italian--nobody ever believes I actually have Italian heritage. Swedish, maybe. Looking forward to hearing about your contest!

  14. I think this is fun, daring, brilliant and sassy. Like Erin, I also am so curious about your job and the dress code. I'm always so curious about people. And meanies are mean just for the sake of it sometimes

  15. Sossy! That was a typo...but I left it because I like the combination of "sassy" + "saucy"! Loving the blue belt with this. Will be pairing leopard and electric blue soon!!

  17. What a fun combination! I also wore and animal print dress today. (It will post tomorrow.) And a fun weekend ahead of you...enjoy!

    Try googling the camera's name and see if you can get the book on how to use it or tutorials.

  18. I think this outfit is amazing, no matter what any of your co-workers had to say about it...seems like your boss is the only one with any sense :)

    Hope Penn and Teller was fun! And Seaworld? So jealous!

  19. You look fantastic as always! I'm loving the bodycon dress and blue accents---very cool!
    I also think it is so wonderful that you and your ex husband do things together with your daughter. Really, it's amazing (and I'm a little jealous).
