Mission #49, Day 5
I didn't want to do the whole cliche Carrie Bradshaw in a tulle skirt look, but I did settle on this mint version from the very last episode of the Sex and the City tv series. This look I couldn't fully recreate because I don't own a mint tulle skirt nor a fur muff and it was too freezing to wear open toed anything so . . .
I settled on switching the mint color from the skirt to the top, I kept the blazer from Carrie's original look, I switched out the heels for some oxfords (I figured Carrie would understand seeing as how they are silver and all) and traded the muff for a fur hat.
Of course to stay true to the storyline, I had to incorporate my name necklace as it is in that scene where Carrie finds her name necklace and therefor her sense of identity. It was a dynamic point in the story.
Funny enough, I can thank that last episode for getting me hooked on SATC in the first place. My bestie had a final episode party at his place. I had never seen the show, but at that time in my life I was never one to turn down a party, so I went. And watching the last episode in a room full of women (well . . . and Matt) with their group sighs when Carrie accepts the cigarette from her lovah's ex-wife to the sympathy when she steps in dog shit to her finding that necklace made me fall in love with the show.
And, of course, Matty owned every season on DVD so I borrowed them from him, watched them all in succession and wondered where the hell this show had been all my life. There was no turning back from that point on.
And speaking of luck and identity, Fantasyard.com very kindly sent me this adorable elephant brooch a few weeks back. Elephants are my favorite animal and when their trunks are up, it indicates luck. Well as luck would have it, the company accidentally sent me two and when I contacted them they kindly let me use the extra to giveaway to one of you!

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.
