Mission #12, Day 2
I couldn't do a Mission Week about stripes and not include my favorite striped score to date, now could I? This dress (worn here as a skirt) was one of my favorite scores ever.
As soon as I found it in Macy's on clearance for $30, I was not leaving without it. It reminded me so much of the Marc Jacobs dress that I lusted over forever but knew I would never be able to afford.
Luckily, this dress has been very versatile. You know how sometimes you lust over something forever and then you get it and realize that it really wasn't as versatile as you thought it would be? This was not the case with this dress.
As for the shirt, I told Sally, the other paralegal in the office, that we should start giving these out as a freebie with consultations for our family law practice. (Joking, of course.)
Don't mind my dark humor. I've been divorced twice and work in family law so it can leave you a little jaded to the whole relationship thing sometimes.
In actuality, I bought this shirt almost a decade ago at a thrift store in preparation for my 22nd birthday party. It was actually an 80's party and it is, to date, one of the funnest parties I've ever hosted. Or attended.
Or, rather, it was . . . until the cops broke it up. On account of noise. About two hours in. But the party did get relocated. And I did get a few photo ops with the cops. So a win all around.

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.
