Mission Monday #25--Neutrals
During the colder months, the general color consensus is that of a more muted palette. It's easy to fall back on whites, blacks, greys and browns when the weather outside is so dull. So why not embrace it? That's what we are going to do here next week.
So you'll notice that I am actually smiling in these photos. Highly unusual. But we have a new associate in our office. And we really click. And she is the first that I have regularly gone to lunch with.
And lunch is typically when I take my blog photos. So for the first time ever that I can recall, I have had someone physically there while I awkwardly take my own photos.
At first, I was pretty nervous and felt awkward. But this girl cracks me up and left me with a ton of photos where I don't have my normal neutral face on but a whacked out smile.
Patrick should be pleased since he is always giving me grief for being so serious in my photos. The thing is, I am pretty self conscious about my smile and my teeth. I always have been. And even more so the rounder that my face gets.
But I'm trying to see things more positively this year and I say if there is someone or something in your life that can make you smile and step outside of your comfort zone, well then you are pretty darn lucky, I say.

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.
