Daily MelWear: Outfit 26/30

Hey gang!

I'm going to make this one short and sweet. We've been at Disney all day today, spending the day with my daughter's father, his mom and her husband (Grammy and Pops according to my daughter) because Pops has accepted a job in Hawaii and he's leaving next week! Grammy will leave in a few months but we wanted to spend a day together making memories before Pops leaves. 

We had a great day! I do feel like this outfit is kind of a copout because I've worn this dress the exact same way but with a different belt and shoes before...but seriously, it got up to 87 today and the rest of my 30 items were picked for cold weather. I couldn't risk dying of heat today! I'm not entirely sure this counts as a separate outfit, but at this point, I'm going to MAKE it count because I need my spring items already!

I'm making this short because I'm exhausted, I'm starving and finally getting to eat my Panera You-Pick-Two (a mediterranean veggie sandwich without onions and black bean soup, if you really want to know), drinking my wine, watching the Oscars red carpet and getting ready to catch up on responding to emails and reading blogs. 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for Monday!!!

Today's Outfit:
Purple Dress: Plato's Closet
Zebra Belt: Payless
Black Flip Flops: I can't remember and I really don't think it matters. You can find some anywhere.

Daily MelWear: Outfits 18, 19, 20/30

Happy Sunday, everyone!

We are FINALLY 2/3 of the way through this challenge! Only 10 more outfits to go. And it's going to be in the upper 70's to lower 80's from here on out. Why, oh WHY, didn't I choose more warm weather pieces?!

I'm going to level with you right now, I do not have very much confidence in my remixing abilities to be able to finish this out creatively. I think the rest of my ensembles are going to be fairly boring. And for that, I apologize in advance!

I will say, however, that I'm kind of proud of myself for not taking Saturday off even though we spent the day at a theme park. I worked with it and it turned out okay! Wish I could say the same for Friday and Sunday, but I'm trying to pretend those outfits never happened. Eh...oh well. 

So, okay, Friday was spent at an appointment in the morning, then lunch, then hanging out at home with my baby nephew. Saturday was spent at the theme park. I have to be honest...but the time we walked outta there, I was wearing leggings and flip flops with the dress. So the flip flops weren't in my 30, but my feet were killing me.


Sunday was a lazy morning playing dolls with my daughter, then we met up with her dad for lunch. He took her for his custody days after lunch and I went grocery shopping. Now I'm home, trying to catch up on food prep, laundry, outfit posts, getting a little freaked out over having 170 unread style blog posts to read and comment on. Not sure that's going to happen. I may have to use the almighty "mark all as read" button for the ones that I don't get through before bed tonight. I'm sorry!

Hope you're all having a great weekend and a relaxing Sunday night! Oh, and before I forget - Jenna from Lust, Love, Lose interviewed me! Click here to read the post!

Daily MelWear: Outfits 4, 5 & 6/30

Originally my plan for this weekend was to get caught up on reading blogs, organize my jewelry a little, search for the online owner's manual for my dad's camera that I've been using and just rest. This is my daughter's weekend with her dad so I wanted to keep my time occupied and stay distracted from missing her. 

Then we decided to do a family day at SeaWorld on Friday and another one at Disney on Saturday. So YAY! 

Friday at SeaWorld was really warm, close to 80, and I didn't pick many short-sleeved pieces in my 30. Plus it was Go Red For Women, so I needed something red as well. I think I pulled it off pretty well. 

Saturday at Disney was warm too for part of the day, but it was also rainy and gloomy and by the end of the day, I was extremely grateful for my leggings and scarf!


Today my daughter is with her dad at a Renaissance Fair, so I did some grocery shopping this morning and I've gotta be honest: now that my pictures are done for today, I'm about to just throw on some sweats. I really want to spend the rest of the day catching up on your blogs and resting.


Don't forget - tomorrow is the first installment of Fabulous in February: A Month of Positivity! Remember to include {at least} three (3) positive comments about yourself in your posts tomorrow (or leave them as a comment here if you don't have a blog!) and then come back and link up on either my post or Hope's.These should be comments that are positive about WHO you are and WHAT you are, not about what you have (it's awesome to be grateful for your job or your family, but we want to hear what makes YOU awesome because we know that you ARE awesome!).

Hope you're all having a great weekend! Can't wait to read your positive thoughts about yourselves tomorrow!

Daily MelWear: BBCA Days 15, 16, 17

I wanted to blog over the weekend, really I did, but once you see the pictures you'll see that I was pretty busy!

Friday: did a little shopping with my daughter in the morning, met The Beast for lunch, a friend came over during nap time, The Beast came home early and we brought The Princess to a birthday party and then to my parents' house while we went to another party.












Saturday: got up SUPER early and headed out to Islands of Adventure to walk the queue of The Forbidden Journey (the Harry Potter ride, for those of you wondering) but we didn't actually go on the ride.  We had some frozen butterbeers and then walked over to Universal to see the Moster Make-Up Show (HYSTERICAL) and see the Scare Zones that they set up for Halloween Horror Nights.  After that we went to my parents' house for family dinner and then we took the Princess out for a later dinner with The Beast's parents. I started out the day in leggings and a jacket, but those came off once it warmed up and I just stuck with the dress and boots.
























Sunday: went to Panera for breakfast, brought The Beast to his gig while The Princess and I went to our church, then we went to SeaWorld where we met up with The Beast and his dad so we could take The Princess around Shamu's Spooktacular for trick-or-treating! That night, we put her to bed early and finished watching a movie.




I. Am. Exhausted. And we did not do any packing over the weekend, did you notice? Yeah. I'm starting to have anxiety issues.



So that was our weekend.  What did you guys do?
