Mission #17, Day 1--Leather Skirt
Day one of Mission Week where we are donning leather over here this week. And on this day, I was wearing one of my favorite thrift finds--this Wilson's Leather black studded leather mini skirt. Obviously not a work look, but it's fitting as I will not be at work until Thursday.
Luckily, I have a ton of backlog outfit photos because for the past four days or so, I have been confined to our neighborhood because of the flooding. It is INSANE people. I don't live on a beach coast and though we have a lot of water here, I'd never known that this severity of flooding could happen here in Colorado.
Over the past few days, I have been in complete awe of the photos and videos that I've seen of my town, neighboring towns and the stories of my friends and family. There are 14 counties in Colorado that have been declared in a state of emergency.
I feel totally fortunate that both our current home and the home we are buying have remained in tact from the flooding. It truly is amazing because there are literally hundreds of people that are unaccounted for, even more that have been evacuated, thousands that have had damage to their homes or even lost their homes.
We didn't see this coming. I can't imagine being told that you have to leave your house NOW--and leave behind your photos, belongings, memories, everything. Some people didn't even have that warning. I continue to be humbled by this devastation overtaking my state. If you are so inclined to give a monetary donation, you can go here. There is an anticipated billions in damages and years in reconstruction. Unbelievable. It poured even more rain today, causing even more evacuations and deaths.

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.
