Mission #66, Day 4--All Your Accessories Must Match
Another fashion myth that needs debunked is that you must always match your accessories--specifically your belt/bag/shoes. While matching them can look posh and put together, mixing and matching them can also look chic and put together.
I mentioned recently that I am putting myself on another shopping ban. I put myself on one this summer and it worked really well! I didn't even have a problem with it at all.
The truth is, after my ban was over this summer I went a little wild with shopping. It got to the point where every paycheck brought a promise of several fun little packages and suddenly I found myself with a ton of new clothes that I haven't even worn yet.
Not to mention . . . I hit a massive trifecta in thrifting last weekend with my sister. It was one of those perfect shopping trips. If you thrift, you're probably familiar. Originally I had gone with her under the promise that I would only spend the $10 gift cards that I had won on Instagram AND that I would only buy clothes that would work for my new office.
I had several things on my wish list from my ban. This included mint
heels, pointed toe loafers and plaid trousers. And out of nowhere I
found all of them in one thrift trip! It happens once in a while. I've taken this as a sign. I now have crossed off all of the items on my wish list. And I have a huge pile of clothes just waiting for me to wear them.
So here we are again. And I honestly feel fine with it. And not to mention, I have an office to decorate. And that is really exciting! And after my birthday, we can revisit my shopping habits. Until then, let the remixing begin!

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.
