Mission #60, Day 4
I am not just surprised by how easy it has been to create five outfits out of five pieces of clothing for this Mission Week, but I am also surprised about how many more possibilities that there are from these five pieces! This was a really fun outfit and it was comprised of two of the pieces and . . . .
THREE pieces from THREE different grandmothers' closets. LOL Yep, that is right. I don't just love the Macklemore song, I actually live that life. I literally wear your grandmother's clothes. And I love it because it is so special to me.
Take this amazing white fedora. It was Patrick's Grandma Carlson's. It was one of the many that she was ready to just throw away because she no longer wanted it. And yet, it is one of my favorite of the bunch that she handed down to me.
This watch? It was my Grandma Wagner's. She loved her jewelry alright. But she had really sensitive skin and was limited to only the finest metals to be worn on her skin or in her ears. And while I have never really been a jewelry gal, I do adore playing in her jewelry.
And these wedges that Patrick's Grandma Vandervliet gave me right after I had Reilly. And I mean right after I had Reilly. She brought them with her one day when visiting the baby. One day when I was annoyed that I still looked 8 months pregnant and roasted on a five mile walk in the blazing sun with Reilly in the stroller. But guess what? Shoes always fit. Hence, they can always make you feel better ;-)
And am I ever ashamed to wear grandmother clothes? Answer: Never. Not once. I love it.

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.
