Mission Monday #17--Leather, Styling Outside the Biker Bar
Welcome back to five day workweeks ladies. Woof. It's gonna be a doozy, but rest assured, we'll get through it. So today was awesome because my husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary!
In ways, I can't believe it's already been a whole year and in others it's like we've been together forever. We ventured back to The Callahan House where we got hitched and decided to make it an annual tradition from now on.
Then, we took a motorcycle ride up to Estes Park, which was beautiful, for an amazing veggie wrap (with broccoli!) and an even amazing-er pecan caramel apple. The best. I love him.
And then, he brought me a dozen roses in the most beautiful arrangement. I don't know if I've mentioned it here, but Patrick has bought me flowers every month since we got married--one flower for every month we've been married (so the six month, I got a half dozen roses and so on). He's the sweetest.
So, moving on to the fashion portion of this post, I'm eager to introduce next week's Mission Week. And this one is all about leather! Perhaps I was inspired by the bike ride today, or maybe the perfect weather (no, not 60's on the brisk of fall, I mean sunny skies and a warm breeze) that makes leather optional. I don't know. But I'm in the mood for leather.
Also, I've never gotten a good close up of these earrings, but I love them. Patrick's dad's friend takes antlers that he finds in the woods while he's camping and whatnot and construct them into tons of things--earrings, pocket knives, necklaces, etc. He made these hummingbird ones for me when Patrick fixed his computer.
Hummingbirds are very lucky to me. They were my Grandmother's favorite animal and ever since she passed, we always see them at the most amazing times. There was one hovering over my mother's wedding recital, watching over it. And then there's this photo, one of my favorite in existence, when a hummingbird photobombed our family photo right in front of my Grandfather. I love the looks on everyone's faces:
Is this not the greatest photo ever? Do you see the hummingbird?
It's photos like that. That's why I love photography. Priceless moments.

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.
