Mission #36, Day 5--Fancy
Well first of all, let's get this song out of the way in regards to the title (LOVE this song!) because I know you're humming it now . . .
Secondly, Happy Fourth of July all! It is quite fancy that this holiday fell on a Friday so we get a long weekend eh? I dig it.
Now, on to the matter at hand: Mission Week. Today we are dressing, you guessed it, fancy. We're talking nice restaurant, cocktail party, holiday party fancy. I wouldn't go so far as to wear this to a black tie event. For something of this nature, you can't go wrong with a little black dress, nice jewelry (I picked two of my legit pieces to wear today. fancyyyyyyy.) and heels are the obvious footwear.
Patrick and I don't really do fancy too often. We are a simple people. But it is really fun from time to time to get all dolled up and trip the night fantastic. I'm pretty sure the last time we attended such an event was the MS dinner where his mother was being honored. That was over a year ago. And while an awesome event not even a date. I guess we need a refresher.
But I do remember the first fancy date Patrick and I went on. He surprised me by having his mom watch the kids so we could go to The Melting Pot. Again, his plan was to tell me he loved me. This was months after the Kiss concert I talked about last post . . . and yet a couple of months before he actually said it. He chickened out and wanted it to be sincere. He's so fancy. ;-)

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.
