Mission #23, Day 3--J. Crew Mustard Cardigan
One of my most treasured thrift store finds was this J. Crew mustard cardigan. And I thought it to be a great (and colorful!) addition to Mission Week. Unfortunately, it comes with a sad story.
I got this dress from eShakti in the spring, I want to say. I loved this dress. And I was so happy when I (ok, Patrick . . . after some time and trial) was able to zip it up the side. It still fit! Hoorah! And it did. Until I sat in the car. And the zipper busted completely. Good thing I was wearing this cardigan!
The point of this post was to talk about how cardigans can add a dose of color to your outfit. And they can. But apparently they can also save your ass when you are growing out of everything that you love and try to force something zipped that isn't meant to be zipped. So bonus.
And speaking of bonus, my newest niece was born at 2:02 on 12/10/13. Welcome to the world, Lara Jean Wild! I'm already in love. Isn't she the cutest? And she already loves her Auntie! Look how awake and alert she is when I hold her!
In closing, yay babies and yay cardigans. Both of them can make your whole day better.

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.
