Mission Monday #12--Stars of Stripes Week
Being as this is the week we celebrate the red, white and blue, we are also going to keep in spirit next week by sporting the Stars of our Stripes in our closet.
Since I'm guessing most of us are low on the stars portion (I personally own nothing with stars on it . . . perhaps that needs remedied), we are going to focus on the stripes. And that, my friends, I do own. Quite a bit of in fact.
So what are your favorite striped items in your closet? Is it a dress? A blouse? A blazer? A skirt? I am confident nearly every girl has a stripe collection of some kind.
To celebrate a trite early, I am sporting some very special stripes for this post. This dress was given to me by my mom. She wore it and I even featured it on the blog, but it was so long ago that I can't even find it to reference!
She had asked me if she was too old for the dress to which I replied "of course not!" and by poll of the readers, it was unanimous. But she didn't feel comfortable wearing it so she gave it to me. And I'm never one to turn down a cute sundress. And she gave me the sandals I'm wearing too!
Also, my sister gave this Sister necklace to me for Mother's Day. I love it's delicate simplicity and it also holds a special meaning, which is the best kind of jewelry.
And my cousin made my earrings so I guess you could say I couldn't pull this look off without my three favorite ladies--my mom, my sister and my cousin. And the thrift store.
Striped and Polka Dot Dress-gifted by Mom; Pink Cardigan-thrifted; Sandals-Worthington, gifted; Sister Necklace-gifted by Sister; Earrings-DIY and gifted by my cousin

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.
