Daily MelWear: Casual Thursday

It's Thursday and that means I can wear jeans! Except I didn't. Because I'm still on a hunt for the perfect pair of trouser jeans. I've tried Gap and Loft and a few other places and I still don't like how they fit me. I'll get there eventually.

I decided to wear a shirt I probably can't ever wear when my boss is here because of the embellished neckline - although it IS a solid color and it's technically NOT a necklace, she would consider this "bling" and want me to change if anyone came over.

I haven't worn this pink dress in a while, probably not since the last time I wore it during the Blogging for Breast Cancer Awareness challenge, so I figured I'd layer the tee on top, throw on a belt and call it an outfit.

And now I have to go get lots of work done. LOTS of work. I've been trying hard to catch up on blog posts but I've barely made a dent in my reader (I'm still so far behind!) and now I really need to focus on getting tons of things done at work.

Yay!




Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!!!

Pink Dress: Ross
Gray Tee: Plato's Closet
White Belt: Wal-Mart

  2. The "bling" rule is the worst! But you look perfectly casual and comfortable today, and it sounds like its the perfect day for that!

  3. I like it. And I probably would NOT have thought to throw a cute dressy tee over a dress. But I don't have to now that you have!!! And I loooove pink and gray together. Almost as much as gray and yellow. They make me happy!!!!

    Oh yeah...and I love those shoes, too. Wore mine the other day.

  4. See those are the shoes I was looking for when I bought my "let's pretend mushroom means grey" wedges in January. Sigh - US Payless always has such better selection than Canada's Payless!

    Enjoy your weekend!

  7. Trouser jeans are difficult to find. I have a pair from the LOFT and an old pair from Express. But have you tried New York & Co? They have a pair that I tried on and might need to go back and purchase. They fit perfectly and looked great on! - Katy

  9. Love that tee and the shoes are great. Good luck with your trouser jean hunt. I hate shopping and looking for jeans. WHen you are looking you can never find it. Hope you do though.
    Re: mommy groups. Have you researched in meet-up or local communities for mommy groups? That is how I found mine. Joined when my son was 3 months old. It is such an amazing support system.

  10. Love the color today! I'm still having issues with trouser-y jeans too. Look for ones with stretch. They fit much better. And if you find some - let me know where you get them.

  13. So sorry about your boss. That's no fun. Well I love the pink and gray color combination. And super idea to layer them and make the dress a skirt. You look fabulous.

  14. I know that it takes time to find the right jeans, but once you find them..WOW..it was worth it...so hang in there.

  15. That is such a cute top!! I need to start thinking about my own work attire now too! it's harder than I think to put together conservative chic outfits! I think I need a dedicated work apparel thrift trip!!

  16. Love those shoes! Payless is so great lately..with all their designer collaborations.
    Also love how you made the look your own with the t-shirt over the dress.
    Happy Friday

  17. Honestly - I'm starting to get infuriated just reading about your boss and your dress code! I think you look perfectly appropriate here, and I can't see why you have these rediculous constraints! I'm glad you got a chance to flex your fashion wings while your boss was out of the office. I love your pink skirt for a touch of spring!

  18. Wow, I love the detail on that top, those kinds of things make "t-shirts" OK!

  19. I always look forward to your cute shoe pose- love this pair! Great outfit, you're ready for spring! Hope you had a great weekend!

  20. You look so pretty in that slate grey color! and I love it paired with a pop of pink. Such a refreshing and spring-like addition!

  21. I'm really behind, too. I can't believe that's 'bling,' I think it's just pretty!!

  22. You must be the fanciest mom, nay, employee in your office. Pink and graphite look great together.
