Mission #7, Day 1
We are going to start off Mission Week with florals with this very pretty little number that I thrifted on Saturday. I wore this last night to a very dear friend's wedding.
Chris and Dylan have been very good friends of mine since my sophomore year of high school. Dylan got married in 2007, me in 2012 and Chris was the last to board the nuptial train this week. The couple got the legal stuff out of the way and opted for just a fun reception instead of a wedding wedding.
These are some of the best weddings to attend. They are all fun--just food, friends, drinks and informal fun. I don't often get time to visit with Dylan, his beautiful and fun wife Rachel, Chris and his new bride Vauna. So any possible time to get together, joke around and reminisce is fun.
We met in high school while working at Subway. Chris and Dylan had been best friends for several years before I met them. They were a year older than I and went to different high school (in fact, they graduated with Patrick) and yet we managed to hang out nearly every night throughout the entirety of my high school career.
We were an odd trio, that's for sure. Dylan and Chris were in band, church youth groups and knew all about computers. They had good grades and clean records. I, on the other hand, was the bad apple of the crew. I was a skater/punk rocker/goth who smoked Marlboros, pierced my tongue and snuck out at night. But we maintained our friendship then as well as now. Congrats Chris and Vauna!

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
