Mission #11, Day 1--Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl
This Mission Week we are celebrating my favorite leading ladies of television. It only seemed appropriate to start with one of the most stylish, influential leading ladies of tv there has been since Sex and the City. And that is Ms. Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl.
For those of you not familiar with the show and Blair's character, let me summarize. Blair is rich. She lives in NYC. And she is kind of a bitch. But I love her. You have to.
I got this dress from Shabby Apple with a gift certificate I won off of Lisa's blog, Respect the Shoes. Though Blair wouldn't be caught dead buying anything with a gift card, I felt this dress was a pretty accurate description of her.
Blair's style is classic ladylike--though sometimes with an edgy twist. And though she is probably wearing top designer brands, I think she would approve.
In actuality, I wore this to my friend Jessica's wedding a few weeks ago. It was the perfect dress for a summer wedding--bright and cheery with a classic, vintage vibe.
Patrick shot these photos for me after the wedding, which was at a gorgeous B&B up in Pine, Colorado. It was a gorgeous ceremony and totally worth the drive.
It was a tad windy, though, so even though I curled my curly hair, it didn't hold. Anyone else baffled by naturally curly hair that doesn't hold a curl?
This may be my favorite Mission Week yet. Tune in tomorrow for a look that's a little more country than country club.
Mint Polka Dot Dress-Shabby Apple; Pearl Earrings and Bracelet-gifted from Patrick from Qatar; Nude Criss Cross Wedge Sandals-Marshall's; Sunnies-Target

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.
