Mission #9, Day 2
Primary colors are some of the easiest colors to color block, making this look just perfect-o for Mission Week.
On this day, I had to drop my kiddos off to their dad in Loveland. It is important for me to tell you that I loathe going to Loveland. I hate that town. It's small, it's boring, I spent a good part of my adolescence there.
Buuuuuuuut, they have a pretty impressive Sculpture Park with a bunch of really cool sculptures. I even know a couple of people from high school, etc. that have sculptures there.
So, since I had the time, I opted to swallow my severe hatred for this town and take my pictures in this park that I hadn't been to in forever. It is even across the street from my high school!
So needless to say, I got a little photo-happy. Sorry. But it was mostly to show you the cool ass statues, not the outfit. Although, I have to admit it is one of my recent faves.
Often times I hear other bloggers talk about how taking outfit photos is such a chore. Mostly because it's a chunk of time. I usually take about 20 minutes, but that's because I'm in a hurry and that's why my photos are often less than fabulous.
For me though, this is the most relaxing part of my day. It's only 20 minutes, but it's 20 minutes of peace. I leave my phone in the car. There's no child pulling at my legs, no clients calling, no problems. Just quiet.
This is the time of day where I get to explore, even for just a moment. I get to find little treasures in the city I live in, work in and frequent. Little treasures that I never noticed really until I started blogging. I get to play with my photography.
I'm a simple person really. Give me a camera, a cute outfit and 20 minutes of peace and I'm all set.

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.
