Mission #15--Day 4
This is the second closet must-have denim or chambray for Mission Week--the denim jacket. Apparently it's back in, though admittedly, I never knew it was out. Woops.
A denim jacket can dress down any outfit. It can be added to dresses, skirts, button downs, you name it. I have had mine for . . . probably about 15 years. It's perfectly worn in and I can't tell you how many times I've worn it.
Sidenote--I look pregnant in this dress. I'm not. Just evidence that a) I've had kids and b) I'm not the skinny minny most people assume I am.
Last night I came home to something . . . quasi-alarming. My 12 year old decided he needed a haircut. So he got one. And he did it himself. He's had long hair for the past several years. He hates getting his haircut and it's always a war just to get him to get a haircut.
But apparently, he's ready for shorter hair. And while we are still going to take him in now to get it even in the back, I have to say I'm pretty impressed. He didn't do too shabby for someone with no experience.
I thought this kind of situation only happened with younger kids. But he never did it. So I guess . . . he's just making up for lost time.

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.
