Mission Monday #7--Florals
Your eyes do not deceive you. Oh no. It is snowing. Again. But you know the old adage--April showers bring May flowers. With all the record breaking snow we've gotten this month, we better have some bomb ass flowers in May. To make sure of it, the challenge for next week's Mission Week will be . . .
FLORALS!!! Any way you pick 'em! (Ha, ha, get it?) Even though every time I think of wearing florals for the spring, this comes to mind:
I already have plans conjuring in my mind for floral jeans and pencil skirts and blouses and skirts and dresses--HOPEFULLY without tights.
I can't be too mad about the snow though. At least it held off on snowing until later this morning and thus left us snow free for the birthday party weekend extravaganza. And the rest of the forecast looks promising. So if this is the last of this crap we have to deal with until winter, so be it.
So if you're as ready to break out the florals as I am, please do link up with me on Friday, May 3rd. I will start Mission Week on Monday, April 29th. You can participate the whole week or just one day. Just wear sumpin pretty and flowery, post the button below to the post and be sure to add a link to your post on Friday, May 3.
In the meantime, I am going to grump through the rest of this snow crap and look toward the future. Keep my eye on the prize. And maybe by the time Mission Week comes 'round, I'll be in better springier spirits.

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.
