Mission #30, Day 2--Menswear--Necktie
Continuing with the menswear theme of Mission Week, nothing says menswear like a tie--even a hot pink one. This tie is actually one Patrick had to wear for a wedding and he promptly gave it to me afterwards and I love it.
I can, however, understand why men don't particularly enjoy wearing ties. When it comes to menswear, it is probably one of the biggest ranking in the uncomfortable department. But it does help add extra funk (and color!) to this super funky outfit that I wore out to run errands a few weekends ago.
I was recently on the phone with my sister. She has three girls--7, 5 and 3 months. She is a stay at home mother to which I give her mad props. I don't know that I could handle it. Needless to say, sometimes you can get a little frustrated with the kids and they can get a little tired of your shit as well.
She told me of one such particular day recently in which she got annoyed with the girls not cleaning up their room. She ended up going in there with a trash bag and told the girls that whatever she picked up and put in the bag was getting thrown away. She, of course, expected that this would cause mass panic and help speed up the process.
What she got, however, was this reaction from my oldest niece, Anya: "That's fine, Mama. I have way too many of those. You can throw those out." And my younger niece, Emma, ended up handing her a bunch of toys to add to the trash pile.
Kids. Always something.

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.
