Mission #22, Day 2--Grey Zipper Leggings
On this day for Mission Week, I wore something really casual, comfy and borderline boho. The zipper on the back of these leggings give it a tough vibe, but the duster and the loose layers make it really casual.
So, do you know what Boulder started doing? Recently, Boulder, Colorado passed a law that now charges consumers for plastic bags. Every time you elect to use plastic bags in a store rather than bringing your own bags, you are charged 10 cents per bag.
Boulder is a very environmentally conscious town and this law is obviously to encourage people to utilize reusable cloth bags instead of plastic bags that are often not recycled.
I personally think it's great. I have used my own bags at the store for years and years. I don't understand why more people don't. For one, obviously, they are better for the environment. But also, they are more durable and able to hold more.
But the one downfall of cloth bags--it takes a while to get used to using them. I can't tell you how many times when I started I would forget my bags at home. But I do think it's a good habit to have. And who knows--maybe enough people spending enough dimes per bag will get the message across. Apparently, there's a new dimebag in town in Boulder to benefit the green. Ha! Pot humor in Colorado. It never gets old.

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.

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.
