Mission #18--Crop Top Tip--Over a Maxi
This Mission Week is truly a challenge for me. Crop tops. Not for everyone. A lot of people don't think they can wear them because they instantly think of mid-drift baring tops. But it doesn't have to be.
For the first day, I am wearing a cropped sweater over a maxi dress. Which actually has a pretty cool effect because it lengthens your dress and in turn lengthens your legs. Double bonus.
So how was everybody's weekend? Mine was AWESOME but also very, very busy. We closed on our house on Friday! Woop woop! Yep, we are officially homeowners.
So we spent the weekend moving and cleaning and organizing and unpacking and tossing and breaking down boxes and all of that fun stuff. Which actually unpacking into a new home is probably one of my most favorite things to do in the world, to be honest.
Oh, and we also spent the weekend trying to calm our dog the eff down in the new place. If you are friends with me on Facebook, you know that our dog is a total spaz, to put it lightly. She is sensitive to her surroundings and spends 99% of the time hiding in some way.
So on the first night of our new place, she was exploring the territory all night long. And we have all wood floors. And she desperately needs a nail trim. It was a lot of fun. My mom has offered to knit Nakita booties.

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.
