Mission #31, Day 2--Pastel and Dark Neutral
Another way we can wear pastels for Mission Week is to pair them with darker neutrals, like black here. They seem like they wouldn't go well together, but they indeed usually pair well.
About a week ago, I had a strange revelation and I just had to call my sister to tell her about it. It was weird and it was random, but it was kind of cool.
So one of my sister and I's favorite movies is Now and Then. If you haven't seen it, do it. It's so cute. A total chick flick with some great vintage fashion and killer classic rock.
So, my sister's name is Samantha. My name is Robin. My cousin, who my mom took guardianship of when we were in high school and is practically our sister, is named Tina. And a really close friend of ours since way back when is Cat.
The main characters of Now and Then are Samantha, Roberta, Teeny and Chrissy. So, basically just like Samantha, Robin, Tina and Cat. Crazy awesome right? Except I am not the same personality as Roberta in the movie. I'm not, nor have I ever been a tomboy. And I would never tape down my boobs. But I was mistaken for Christina Ricci a lot in middle school because of the large forehead. So similar.

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.
