Mission #18--Crop Top Tip 4--Layers, Layers, Layers
Yeah, yeah. I'm wearing a crop top over a maxi dress again for Mission Week. But this time it is to show you that the more layers you use when crop topping, the less scandalous you be. I've also layered this particular top over an oversized oxford shirt, just to give you an idea.
You know what's cracked me up lately? My oldest niece Anya. She is just a doll and hilarious in general, but I've been thinking about her a lot.
I've mentioned on here before, but she was born with spina bifida. Basically what this means is that she needs a wheelchair or braces to help her to walk. But she is amazing and smart and the sweetest girl in the world.
Well not long ago, she and her sister stayed over at my house. For a sleepover movie, they chose to watch Hercules. And Anya has been obsessed ever since.
She really wants to be a "true hero." She tries to pick up furniture, she tries to be brave and every time I see her, she shows me how much bigger her muscles are than last time I saw her. This works to her parent's advantage, too. "True heroes pick up their rooms" or "true heroes eat all of their dinner."
I always tell her that she is already a true hero to me. Usually she just corrects me that she is not. But the last time she said "Yeah, Auntie to you I am. But I still need the horse."

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.
