Mission Monday #6--Black and White
As we await the Spring Blizzard '13 Take Four (yes, you heard that right . . . we are expecting more snow . . . again . . . siiiiiigh), let's talk about brighter things like next week's challenge for Mission Week!
Although it is marked as the "trend of the season", black and white have been a classic combination since the dawn of fashion. It can be graphic, classic, edgy and professional. So next week, that's what we'll be doing in these parts of the woods.
As a girl that loves color and pattern, this will be a real challenge for me! A week without color? Eh gads. But I think I'll be able to pull it off. I have a lot of ideas floating around all ready!
So, next week, from Monday, April 15th through Friday, April 19th, be sure to wear your black and white. You can participate all week, one day, whatever you like! Just add the button below to the post and be sure to link up on Friday, April 19th.
As excited as I am about next week, I'm going to savor the best Monday I've had in a long time. First of all, I got to have lunch with Peggy, which was so, so awesome! Peggy was an attorney at our firm who left a year ago to open her own firm downtown Denver. I haven't seen her since she left and it was so great to catch up!
But the major highlight of today was that I finally, finally got to see my kiddos! They went to their dad's for spring break 10 days ago and I got to pick them up today! I missed them so much and I cannot wait to hang out with them tonight!
I am also making Roasted Veggie and Black Bean Burritos for dinner. Mmmm mmmm mmmm. It has been three weeks-ish since I had any meat. The most processed food I've eaten have been Nature Valley granola bars. And most impressively, I haven't had Dr. Pepper.
So, now you know the drill with Mission Week by now. Hopefully we'll have some participants! It's been pretty lonely on the link ups. Maybe spring will bring more inspiration.

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.
