Daily MelWear: Outfit 29/30

Hi friends! Thank you all so much for your comments about Flickr, your suggestions and your emails. I'm going to try several of them and see what happens. Yay!

And...I only have one more outfit to go! Hooray!!! I'm actually going to do this! In all honesty, I have several more combinations that I can think of but I didn't have opportunties to wear them all, with the weather getting so warm. Speaking of which, I can't believe that Spring is almost here! Woo-hoo!

So today my boss said this dress is too low-cut. Which is okay, because I kind of really liked it with the cardigan on top and I can think of other layers underneath it. I can work with that.
Isn't this necklace gorgeous?! Thanks, ML!

And now, I'm going to get some work done. Or something.

Are you all having a good week? What's been your favorite part of this week so far?

Hey - don't forget to enter the Shopbop Giveaway!

Today's outfit:
Leopard Dress: Wal-Mart
Red Blouse: Wal-Mart
Black Belt: Payless
Red/Black Pumps: From my mom
Necklace: Gift from ML

    Woohoo! can't believe you're almost done! I bet you miss all your other clothes ;)

    I emailed you this morning about flickr but perhaps you've got it sorted out already :)

    I don't know how you keep up with such strict work attire rules. It would drive me crazy. A job I was offered once required me to wear polos every day and that and the awful salary and driving were the two major reasons I turned it down.

    I just had so much fun looking at all of your 30 for 30 outfits. In one post you mentioned putting all the outfits together. I did that when I took the challenge in the fall and it really helped me see patterns in how I dressed. The thing that jumped out for me was that I needed to use more color. I was really impressed with how you kept your outfits lively with color. You did a great job!

    Phew - glad she saved that comment until the end of your 30x30... it could have been a long stretch if she said it at the beginning

    Bummer about being told that it is too low cut, but it did look really cute under that cardigan.

    Uhm I can't spell...
    I can see your collar bone in that dress. I'm so way offended :)
    That is so funny Melissa. She would've hated to see me when I was breastfeeding. The girls got so big, even a turtleneck couldn't contain them.
    No More Sweatpants

    Congratulations! I am still learning how to mix and match what I have so I'm gonna wait a while before taking the 30 for 30 challenge.

    Just wanted to say: I love that dress.

    Too funny! She'd hate some of my tops, then...not because I'm trying to hussy it up or anything, just because there's only so much I can do :)

    I can't believe we're almost done! I can't wait to bring my closet out of retirement!

    I know, I was thinking of doing a 30 for 40, or 30 for 45, just to see how long I could go with the combos--but I miss my other clothes too much. Can't wait to see the last 30 for 30 look!

    Congrats on almost getting done!

    I personally would have just buttoned the overshirt up and belted it back.

    I've said it a dozen times - your dresscode, oh my.

    Really?! That doesn't look too low cut at all! But then again, you do have the strictest dress code I've ever heard of! I think you look fabulous and YEA for almost being done with the challenge- I couldn't do it!

    Did you decide on a camera yet?

    Nice! The animal print always says "rrroar!", but the shimmery hot pink adds a wolf whistle, yes? I do like the necklace! I just noticed that the top of your dress ruches diagonally (or something like that).

    Come link up Thursday and join me in a happy dance!

    Congrats to you, your almost finished! I think your dress looks great & definitely not too low cut. The best part of my week was that my daddy got saved! Hope you enjoy the rest of your week. Bring on Spring!

    Ooo red and leopard! Beautiful combination! I don't think that dress is too low cut at all! I would have such a hard time sticking to the dress code you have to at work!
