Mission Monday #36--Date Night Dressing
I hate to generalize, but I think that men really have no idea what we women go through when we get dressed up for a date. This is why it's hard to surprise us, I think, because we always have to relate so much of what we are doing to what we are wearing.
When we go on dates, whether it's a first date or a date with your husband of 20 years, every single sartorial decision is based on about 50 questions and scenarios. From our footwear to our bags to a skirt vs. pants to layers--it all has a purpose.
And because dating is an important and virtually inescapable part of our lives and dressing for said dates are a big part of that, next week we will explore the wonders of date night dressing. Dun dun DUUUUUN! This will be fun!*
*This rhyme was unintentional
Speaking of dates and quasi anxiety--on this day next week I will be back at work. My eight weeks of maternity leave will be over. I cannot believe how fast time flew!
I'm really bummed and nervous about leaving little Reilly. Thankfully, he will be staying with Gramma and I'll only be going back part time. And while I definitely didn't miss some aspects of my job, in a weird sadistic way I have missed working in family law and having a routine again. Good thing we're date night dressing next week--I'm pretty sure Patrick and I will be in need of a date ourselves!

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.
