Mission #47, Day 1--OVERCOAT--Peacoat
A few weeks back, it snowed here. In fact, we had a cold spell that lasted almost two weeks. This week we are expecting highs in the 50s and even 60s--unheard of in Colorado in December. Nonetheless, this made for the perfect opportunity to do a Mission Week on must have outerwear.
Enter the peacoat. It's classic, it's a perfect silhouette and it suits any body type. I happened to get this one on the fly at Saver's about eight or nine years ago. It is a size or two big for me, but I like that. It's warm and comfy and looks fabulous.
I got a lot of holiday stuff done this weekend and that feels great. I can't believe we are less than three weeks from Christmas. With Thanksgiving coming so late this year, I felt behind before the season was even technically here.
But we have most of our shopping done (without even stepping foot in a store--thanks Amazon Prime!) and even some wrapped. I have our cards addressed and our house is totally festive-fied. We've watched about a half dozen of our stash of holiday movies.
Now it's just time to get the tree! And decorate it! And bake all the things! And hang up our outside lights! Ok, so we still have some to do--but that's the great thing about the holidays. It's a lot of work. But the work is fun.

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.
