Mission #14--Day 3, 1970's Inspired
The next decade we visit in Mission Week is another fave--the 70's. Or the 60's. I can't really decide. Nonetheless, it's vintage.
For starters, I am actually wearing two sets of earrings. One are diamond studs that were given to me and the others are vintage clip-ons I scored from my Grandmother's jewelry box. They are old.
I could not believe my eyes when I spotted this totally true vintage handmade romper at some random thrift store by where my dad was staying. It looks pretty frumpy on its own, but with a lovely belt, like this one Lynne gifted me, makes it better. Speaking of Lynne, check out this post of hers and throw her a thought, prayer or donation her way for her daughter. Much love Lynne!
One way to make such a vintage specific look more modern is to add modern accessories. Like the subtle pattern mixing of leopard sandals. Or a newer bag, given to me by a co-worker recently.
I decided to go big or go home with the florals by going to one of my favorite spring/summer locations--a little garden full of gorgeous flowers by a park in the middle of town.
As much as I love this jumper, it's kind of tricky to wear given the long sleeves. It can't be too hot, can't be too cold. But when it happens on that perfectly 80 degree day? It is great.

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.
