Mission #21, Day 4--Layered LBD
Layers was the name of the game for this Mission Week look with this LBD. It was a perfectly fall appropriate LBD look that could work for work, a casual setting or just everyday errands.
We've been super blessed this season. I mean, it is rare that we get an actual fall here in Colorado. Usually it is blazing hot one minute and freezing cold with snow the next--very little in between.
But for the past few weeks, we've had weather in the mid to upper 60's. No rain, no wind, no snow, no clouds. Just calm, sunny skies with the perfect nip in the air for layering.
This is the kind of fall that has me super itching for holidays. I can't wait for yummy Thanksgiving food, sending out Christmas cards, baking lots of goodies and wrapping gifts.
The only bummer at this point weather-ish-wise in Colorado is that almost all of our trees are now bare. The beautifully colored leaves that once littered the ground are all dried, dead and crunchy. Backdrops like this are pretty rare.
But I'll take it while I can--the pretty leaves, the gorgeous weather, the ability to go sans heavy winter coat. Because the thought of shivering from a door to a car, scraping windshields and being committed to layers of clothing for warmth instead of fashion makes my skin crawl.
These days taking in beauty and living in the moment are something I really relish in. That and sweet iced tea. I've got a major thing for it lately.

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.
