Mission #14--Day 4, 1980's Inspired
Of all the fashion decades, I think that the 80's are my least favorite. Nonetheless, I decided to try my hand at an 80's inspired look for Mission Week.
There are a lot of ways you can go with the 80's, I'll give you that. Neon, peplums, silk shirts . . . all children of the 80's. But also--denim. And thus, my denim vest was brought in the mix.
Also, harem pants. AKA by children of the late 80's/early 90's as M.C. Hammer pants. I bought these last fall I think and they are sooooo worth it. So comfy and they have pockets!
I also figured it was appropriate to add my gold glitter smoking slippers since disco was ending as the 80's began. It made for a fun look actually.
I was born in 1982, so I don't think I have quite the 80's nostalgia. I was too young. But they aren't old enough to me to be cool like the classic cuts of the 50's or the free spirit of the 60's and 70's. Ya know what I mean?

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.
