Mission Monday #3--Beat the Jeans and T-Shirt Rut
Well guys, I can't believe we've already been through two other Mission Weeks already, but it's time for our third one next week! And I am really excited about this one because it requires some creativity.
I don't know about you, but I am quite literally o-v-e-r the winter. All I want to do is gravitate toward clothes that are comfy, no fuss and warm. It is this time of year that I think a lot of us get in the Winter Wardrobe Rut.
And usually we solve that problem with the good ole standby: jeans and a t-shirt. Which is fine. But when we have work and other functions to adhere to, how do we make this lazy day staple WERQ?
So next week, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give us examples of how you take jeans and t-shirt days to the next lev? How do you make them interesting, professional and stylish?
As always, Mission Week will begin a week from today and run until the proceeding Friday. On Friday, I will put the link up on the post and if you have participated at all during Mission Week, plug your post in. Easy peasy, right?
For me, I'm not really a jeans girl. Which is ironic because Patrick really loves when I wear jeans for some reason. So next week will be a good one for him. And for you. And anyone interested in jazzing up their wardrobe with a couple simple switch-a-roos and additions. #excitedface

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.
