Mission #3, Day 1
Ladies and gents. It's Day 1 of our third Mission Week and this week we are honoring the jeans and tees. So, how do you make jeans and a tee stylish and/or professional instead of frumpy and bland?
The first option, which is what we will talk about today, is to switch out your regular blue jeans for a different pair. Luckily for us, there is now a plethora of denim to choose from in lieu of the average blue bootcut jean.
Denim now comes in a variety of colors (from pastels to brights), patterns (floral, camo, striped and plaid), cuts (skinny jeans, flared jeans and bootcut) and styles (distressed or studded).
Switching out your average jeans for some with a little more kick can certainly help to brighten and jazz up any jeans and tee days. And most of them are available for very reasonable prices.
So when the weather won't cooperate (we seriously went through all four seasons in one day today--cloudy to snowy to sunny) and it's a Monday (blech) morning and you just want to be comfy, but can't sacrifice style or professionalism, you can make some very easy switcharoos to your look to make it come out fabulously.
Also, good news and bad news. The bad news is that if you tried to use your eShakti discount code yesterday (FRNNIEPNTZ), it might not have worked. There was a glitch in their system. BUT the good news is that they have fixed the glitch and are extending the time for you to use it! You now have until March 20th to use this code. (I've already used mine to order this dress. I'm stoked.)

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.

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.
