Mission #37, Day 1--Casual Tulle
I think one of the funnest ways to style a tulle skirt is by mixing it with otherwise casual pieces. For this Mission Week look, I paired this fun little tulle skirt with a plain tee and some fun tennies. To keep the look fairly polished and to add some color, I added a fun bag.
I don't want to dwell on it, but I just wanted to take a moment and thank those from the last post on your support, encouragement and for sharing your stories. It really meant a lot and took a lot to write, honestly.
I've had a lot of fun with this new found photo location. I call it "Graffiti Alley." Kaden actually introduced me, of all people. It' a whole alleyway near our house with really cool graffiti. And it gets redone frequently too--so score!!!
A couple of times when I've had Kaden watch Reilly while I went to take my pictures (he's so amazing with him), he's even suggested that I come here for my photos. And the artwork is so amazing to me I'm usually happy to oblige.
But one day I went to take my pictures down this alley and . . . the artists were setting up to re-paint the alley. And I was a little intimidated crawling through the alley in my minivan all dolled up fixin' to take my own photos in front of their artwork, so I chickened out.
But there is a certain comfort in taking your photos in front of the wall when it's abandoned. And kind of ironic to take your photos in front of a tough looking wall when you're too chicken to do it in front of other people. The three abandoned mattresses on either side of me while I took my pictures kind of helped to validate that fear, however.
Any one need a mattress? I know where we can find some on the cheap.*
*I wouldn't recommend these mattresses

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.
