Mission #11, Day 2--Ava Crowder of Justified
For Day 2 of Mission Week I chose to be inspired by Ava Crowder of the television show Justified on Fox.
Patrick and I got into this show a few months back. Basically it is about a U.S. Marshall, Raylan Givens, cracking cases in his homestate of Tennessee.
Ava is a widow and a bad ass. She actually killed her abusive husband with a shotgun. She goes on in the show to marry her deceased husband's brother, Boyd.
Ava takes no shit. She gets shot and lives. She shoots when necessary and she is great under pressure. It also helps that she has that sweet southern belle thing goin' on too.
Ava's style is simple and understated, but also romantic and sexy. She rocks the sundresses but almost always has her trusty denim jacket with her.
So I chose a country approach to this inspiration by donning my fairly recently thrifted chambray shirtdress and minimal accessories.
And luck would have it that I discovered the perfect country-esque photo location at a nearby dog park to where I work, complete with wood fence.
Perhaps not exactly the bad assery that is Ava Crowder, but I'll take it. It was a good show but I personally don't like guns. So chambray will have to do.

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.
