Mission #16, Day 1--Camo and Leopard
Starting out Mission Week by mixing two patterns that I don't think are a popular pair, but they seem to work so well together: camo and leopard.
One easy way to baby step into pattern mixing is to chose two prints that are fairly neutral in color. The olive green in the camo print and the brown and black in the leopard really work well together.
I know that printed pants can scare a lot of people and they are a real statement piece that does well on their own. But another easy way to ease into pattern mixing is by having your accessories do the pattern mixing for you, as I've done here with the shoes and hat.
I sure hope everyone in the U.S. is having a great Labor Day! We didn't have any specific plans other than to try to get as much packing/cleaning/repairing done as possible for our big move!
Because I have all three of my kids for this weekend, I wanted to try to find something fun to do with them. As you read this, we will probably be hanging at a water park somewhere (Colorado hasn't gotten the "it's almost fall" memo yet--we are still scorching over here!). Buuuuuuut . . .
What was cool about yesterday was how stoked the kids were to help us pack! I just assumed they'd be jumping on the tramp or playing with toys or watching Netflix while we packed but they really wanted to help us out! It was so cute and amazing.
So while Patrick taught Conner how to patch up holes from push pins, nails and doors that were swung open a little too excitedly, Brielle and I bubble wrapped, put stuff in boxes, taped them up and labeled them. My kids love packing. Who knew? They are such freaks. In the best possible way.

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.
