Mission #31, Day 5--Menswear--Masculine Accessories
This is the last menswear inspired look for Mission Week. Another way to embrace the menswear look is to incorporate masculine accessories into your look. Here I chose to sport my oldest son Kaden's shoes (which he has since outgrown), a grandfatherly cardigan and Patrick's watch.
You may or may not remember from past posts, but April is a chaotic month in my house. Both my younger son and daughter have April birthdays and since I share parenting time with their dad, we have one weekend in April to do both of their parties.
This weekend is the weekend. Two parties. One weekend. Two clean-ups, two decoratings, two snack makings, two bouncy house set ups, two cakes to bake. Sixteen total invitations. Two RSVPs so far (seriously one of my biggest pet peeves--whyyyyy don't people RSVP anymore?????).
It's busy. It's made busier still by the fact that I'm eight and a half months pregnant. I move slow and tire easily. Patrick is doing a bunch of remodeling and trying to finish that up. This has stunted the cleaning portion of the preparation.
I know it will get done. And in the end, it doesn't so much matter if the house looks spotless or if all the treats get made. It only matters if the kids have fun, which they will.
But this year more than any prior, I cannot wait to have this weekend over. Then, I can go back to being lazy and pig-like as I have for the majority of this pregnancy. Which I also can't wait to be done with . . . #bitchfest #needsanap

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.
