Mission #16, Day 2--Stripes and Floral
Day 2 of Mission Week is one of my favorite looks for this Mission. It just . . . worked.
I think that black and white are one of the easiest color combinations to pattern mix with. And stripes and floral equally are great to mix together.
Last night I had a crazy dream y'all. Seriously. This isn't new. I have batshitcrazy dreams all the time. And I usually remember them.
I've had dreams where I was in a real life game of Clue (people were being murdered and you had to figure out who did it). I've had dreams where I was being stabbed from underneath the ground by unicorn horns. Not to mention the usual lost in dreams, naked in dreams and stuff like that.
But last night, I dreamed of a zombie apocalypse. And it was crazy, scary shit. Basically, my mom had moved to California and I went to visit her with Conner and Brielle (I have no idea where Patrick and Kaden were). And a zombie apocalypse came to be. And then my brother showed up. And my mom had to go to the store because we had no food. And I volunteered to go for her. And I walked by my brother and told him, with tears in my eyes, to make sure to take care of my kids if I don't come back.
But here's the messed up part--I woke up. Stayed up for about 45 minutes. Went back to sleep and immediately went back into the nightmare. This time I was on my way to the store in the car now, freakingout, diligently going 16 mph, which apparently is the preferred speed limit when trying to not attract zombies. And my brother jumps in my car, plasters a permit on my car, turns to me and goes "Let's do this." And we continue to kick zombie ass throughout the dream.
There are three things to blame for this nightmare: late night coffee, Call of Duty in the background, and crazy midnight thunderstorms.

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.
