Before I talk about this outfit, I’d like to say how very much I’ve been enjoying this challenge. It’s been so much fun experimenting with things outside of my normal comfort zone. I’ve been wearing scarves! And dresses! And skirts! And, seriously, I’ve become such a Merona fan that I went out and bought a whole bunch of new dresses this past weekend so I can keep wearing new things once this challenge is over.

That said…

I was not a big fan of this outfit. I normally stay away from scoop neck t-shirts and this one reminded me why. Maybe I just don’t have the boobs to hold them up, or maybe it was a little too big, but it just didn’t work all that well for me. The jeans are great, but the shoes were a little flat for them and the color was a little WOW with the shirt. And the floral scarf just really wasn’t my taste. But, other than that… {insert uncomfortable giggle} I do love the earrings and the bracelet. So, that’s something!

There’s only one more event to dress me for– play along here, and shop the above look here!

…despite what you said about the outfit – i still think you look cute – especially to be running errands. (i confess that my errands outfits are usually jeans with huge hoodie sweatshirt, uggs, and crazy headband to jazz it up, even though it doesn’t really… )

kudos to you for adding dresses to your wardrobe! you’ve done great with this “challenge” although i have to admit that i don’t think it was a challenge… i think it was a pretty awesome opportunity!

I totally applaud you. I don’t think I could have broken out of my comfort zone as much as you have. I do admit that this has opened my eyes to the outfit potential at Target. Before I only ever bought in pieces. *sigh* Another reason to spend money at Target.

You’re radiant! I love seeing you model the outfits — will you pretty please put all the pictures together in one place?

You still look beautiful, but that’s not really your color. It’s been so fun watching you “get dressed” by your readers!

I think the jeans are really flattering on you. The cuff bracelet is really cute!

I agree, I like the outfit on you. The t-shirt colour is a bit blah, but I love the rest!

But, you look good. Even if it wasn’t your most favorite outfit!

Maybe, if the shirt was a different color. It kinda washes you out.

This challenge has been really fun to watch as well. I just love seeing what you are going to wear next and you have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone as well. :)

Yah, I agree with all your thoughts on it. But you did pull it off – you still look GREAT!
