Mission #10, Day 4
For this Mission Week look with maxis I have again worn a maxi dress as a skirt. It's just so easy to do! But for extra flair, I added some interest with a beaded tank and belt.
I felt that this outfit needed to be surrounded by some beautiful flowers. So I opted to take my photos in the greatest garden I could imagine. And that place is the Callahan House, where I got married in September.
In fact, it was exactly where I was standing, in front of this water fountain, that my husband and I exchanged our vows a little over nine months ago.
I often choose to take my photos here in the spring, summer and early fall because a) it's always open to the public, b) it's almost always secluded, and c) it brings such amazing memories.
Having been through six or seven weddings (nearly one every weekend since the end of March), it solidified it even more. I don't remember much about my wedding day (hectic + nerves + wine), but I do remember the wonderful euphoric feeling all day long.
Even now walking through this empty garden, I can still see where the chairs were set up, where the kids were running rampant through the lawn, where I threw my bouquet from the balcony and where I saw Patrick for the first time as I walked down the aisle.
I am so lucky to live so close to a place so special that is always open and available for photography. And even luckier to live with the person that makes me love this place so much.

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.
