Daily MelWear: Brown and White

Hi everyone!  Hope you all had a good Tuesday.  Today is Wednesday; we're halfway done! I'm a little more than halfway done since I have Fridays off.  I love Fridays with my girl!  My husband works so it's just me and her.  I need to find some fun things to do together.

{Side note: I have GOT to get a better camera and stop taking pictures with my iPhone.}

So for today's outfit, I really wanted to wear my new bronze studded pumps.  I didn't want to pair them with my typical brown or khaki pants so I decided to wear my white pants instead. To tie in the brown, I also wore my brown belted short-sleeved jacket.  For color (and a little bit of floral action), I wore my new yellow t-shirt along with a blue necklace, earrings and flower pin.  

I didn't realize until I got to work and looked at these pictures that my t-shirt sleeves were poking out a little.  I rolled the sleeves up underneath the jacket so they'd stay hidden.

I actually really like how this whole outfit turned out.  I think it might be cute with a khaki jacket and nude pumps too.  The brown is a little bit too dark for spring, in my opinion, but I still really like the outfit as a whole.

Brown jacket: Kohl's clearance, juniors

Yellow flowered t-shirt: Target clearance (see detail photo below...aren't the flowers adorable?!)

White pants: Charlotte Russe (pre-pregnancy!)

Blue necklace, earrings and flower pin: Beya clearance

Bronze studded pumps: Wal-Mart clearance

So what are YOU wearing today? How did you make your outfit fun?

In the beginning... (Daily MelWear)

Well hi!

I decided to start an outfit diary blog.  I'm going to make a STRONG attempt at posting as often as possible. Forgive me if I slack.  I'm trying, people!

Disclaimer: I am in NO way a fashion expert.  No way at all.  I've just started to read some fashion blogs in the past few months and it's become a lot of fun for me to try new things and attempt to get creative with the items that I already own. Not to mention the fact that I've discovered the joys of thrift and consignment stores!

Without further ado, here's today's outfit.  Literally today.  Photo taken this morning before rushing out the door to work. (Please excuse the wet hair - half the time I just don't have time to dry it!)

Leopard print shirt - Thrifted (Salvation Army)

Khaki skirt - Gap (pre-pregnancy!)

Blue belt - Thrifted (Plato's Closet - is that more "consigned" than thrifted?)

Nude kitten heels - Mossimo (Target)

Necklace/Earrings - Gifts

Thank you to my husband for taking these pictures for me!  They're taken on his iPhone because our camera stinks.  And it's easier for me to access the pictures through the iPhone.  Sorry the quality is awful.

I realized after putting this skirt on that it has a little stain on the front.  It almost looks like it was scorched by the sun or something.  At least it's brown so it {sort of} matches. 

And after running errands to another office a block away, I've realized how horribly this skirt rides up.  It's not fun to have to keep pulling your skirt down All. Day. Long.

All that to say...I may never wear this skirt again.  Crap - now I need to find a new khaki skirt.
