Daily MelWear: Black and Tan

Does that make anyone else think of beer, black and tan? Or is it just me?

Um...

Okay so I saw this post on Ramsey's blog and about fell over because it's just SO stinkin' fabulous. Now, I don't have the cognac shoes and top like she does, so I used a chocolate brown shirt and leopard shoes instead. And I still kind of like her outfit a lot better. 

But whatever. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Be flattered, Ramsey. :) 

You GUYS! I'm leaving tomorrow for the SheCon '11 Blog Conference in Miami with my friend Rachel. We are SO excited!!! I still don't have a bathing suit. And I may not get one before we leave. Rach, is it okay if I go to the pool in a dress? Because that's kind of my only option right now.

Is anyone else going? Amy from Amy Fashion Blog works near there so I'll hopefully get to meet her for lunch on Friday.

All that to say that I may not get to post tomorrow or for the rest of the week (I'll try to post my travel outfit tomorrow but I'm not making any promises). I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and share everything with you when I get back!


Have a great Wednesday, friends!

Today's outfit:
Black Skirt: Ross (came as part of a suit)
Khaki Blazer: Goodwill Boutique
Leopard Belt: Wal-Mart
Brown Shirt: Can't remember, probably Ross
Leopard Heels: Payless

    I think this works GREAT on you! Her outfit is pretty rockin', but I definitely think that you pulled this off amazingly!

    Those shoes and that belt really give it a fun aspect that it wouldn't have had without them. I like it!! And look at you {ALMOST} being in dress code perfectly!!

    Will miss you while you're gone, but I hope you have a blast!!

    Black and tan is always a favorite combination! And you did is just beautifully..I especially love the leopard belt + shoe to tie everything together!

    Have fun at the conference..so funny the comment about wearing a dress to the pool!! :)

    I don't know if you can wear a dress to the pool! I think that's something I'd ask you! But I think Target is open late, so go get a suit, darn it! We should take a picture of us in our travel outfits before we go, and post them. Mine will be running shorts and a t-shirt, or maybe some yoga pants if I'm feeling fancy :)

    Ok - this is fantastic!!! I am going to see if I can find a way to copy it. I went over to Ramsey's blog. I figure if she is your friend, I would like her, too! :) I love the way she styled her outfit, too. Your's is perfect for you and her's is perfect for her... so, the title of this comment is "perfect"! Can't wait to hear about all of the bloggy fun in Florida! Safe travels! Sherry.... oh, and thanks for the tip about the tights website... already placing my order! Cheers!

    love the leopard accents. this is a very cute outfit.
    black and tan actually makes me think of a sundae my grandparents used to order when we went to this ice cream parlor. yum! i wanna say it was chocolate and butter pecan.
    oh and have fun at that blog conference. how cool!

    love love love the leopard accents...so work professional but still allows a bit of your spunky personality to shine through.
    (after reading blog for a few short months I have decided I know you well enough to call you spunky, hahahaha)

    Great great outfit! I also think of drinks when I hear black and tan (although it is one of my favorite color combos, too). You are just rocking the dress code lately!
