Mission #15--Day 1
Overalls, shortalls, pinafores and the like are all making a comeback in recent years and thus our possibilities for wearing denim/chambray are varied even more. So I chose to start this Mission Week out with a denim pinafore.
The great thing about pinafores, overalls and shortalls is that they are incredibly versatile. They can do pretty much any season and can really be made dressier, if necessary. (Although I wouldn't recommend them for cocktail parties.)
So guess what has been going on at our house as of late? Oh not much, just . . . bought our first house!!!! We won't close until early October, but it is official. We have our very own house.
So if you follow me on Pintrest and have been wondering what all of the home decor Pins were about, that's it. We are so excited! I've rented my whole adult life and I cannot wait to have something our family can call our very own.
I am very lucky to have a tremendous team at my disposal. One of my good friends (from elementary school actually), Jessica, is our Realtor. My mom is a loan originator and is helping us with our loan, my mom's ex-boyfriend, who I am still close with, Bruce, is doing our home inspection and a whole slew of Patrick's family are experts in construction, H/VAC and plumbing. So we're set there.
We've lived in our current home for four years, so it is definitely going to be a lot of work, but I know for a fact that in the end, it will be so worth it.

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.
