Mission Monday--Leading Ladies of TV
I have to say, I'm not a big TV fan. Before Patrick, I didn't even have cable. And we got rid of ours a few months ago too. We mostly entertain ourselves with documentaries on Netflix.
But over the last couple of years we've gotten into several television series. I have to admit I was having a hard time coming up with a Mission for next week.
At first I was going to do a Mission on packing for vacation--kind of like a 30 for 30 ordeal. Because we are going on a family vacation in a couple of weeks. But then I thought that would be stupid because I plan on wearing shorts a lot on vacation . . . and I can't really do shorts too well at work.
So instead, I thought of paying a bit of a tribute, if you will, to the leading ladies that I have been admiring on television by taking one of them each day next week and trying to dress in their style.
To give you a few ideas, I plan on going with Gemma Teller of Sons of Anarchy, Ava Crowder from Justified, Nancy Botwin of Weeds and Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl.
All distinct but amazing styles. I am pretty stoked. And you should join me! From Monday, June 24th through Friday, June 28th, emulate one of your favorite leading ladies' styles and post your link on Friday, June 28th!

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.
