Mission #61, Day 4--Posh Spice
Posh Spice. AKA Victoria Beckham. AKA Fashion Icon. AKA Can Pull Off Any Damn Look She Wants. AKA We All Hate to Love You. She's the inspiration for today's look of a sleek leopard print pencil skirt and sheer sleeved blouse and glittery heels.
These photos were taken next to The Callahan House where Patrick and I got married two and a half years ago. I love visiting here and taking my blog photos here since I live pretty close. And right now is the perfect time to since the flowers are all in bloom and it is just flawlessly colorful and pristine at this time of year.
The only downfall to taking your pictures here is that it happens to be right next to a funeral home. So from time to time there are people who are next door mourning the loss of a loved one and here I am like a moron with a tripod taking vein pictures of myself on the street.
When I notice that there are people at the funeral home, I usually tend to go into the garden to take my photos (it is free to wonder to the public when they don't have an event going on) so as not to bother them. But once in a while you get a guy like this guy who makes me want to vomit (our conversation below):
A man that appears to be in middle aged with a large, round frame and greying, balding hair gets out of a car and is heading into the funeral home. I start to pause in my photos out of respect and, of course, he yells over to me, asking what I am taking photos of. Of course, I, as always, act like I am just messing with my camera settings and tell him "Nothing in particular, just checking the settings right now." He responds with "Well . . . everything looks just fiiiiiine from right here."
And then I vomited in my mouth.

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.
