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!

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that your husband is going away for a while.
Love the minty touch with the scarf.

Cute collar and buttons on your mustard top. Love it worn with your graphic skirt.
Yay! To receiving the wedding photos. ςªŋ't wait to see them.

Oh, yeah. Mondays don't last forever. It's already over here. I'm lying in bed. Success to your brother on his interview. Nice look.

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.

Anya did good picking blue. This is my best look ever. Love your mixing polka dots and gingham. And your saddle oxfords nailed it.
Your dress is lovely. I've been all about leopard shoes lately, love yours. Thumbs up to doing what any respectable girl would do ;)
I'm glad you found the stone. Precious jewels like that don't have any business getting lost :). Love your red stripe skirt in the collage. Your white coat and plaid jacket are lovely.
Happy Birthday, Frannie! My apologies for being late to wish you one. It's obvious your had a great day. Love your red dress and shoes!
I've been wanting a white blazer for so long. Love yours. Cute look.

Great look. You've got an awesome mom! Love that §Ħз got pieces that work together. Great with the camo too. Now, where ςªŋ I get a grandpa like yours ;)
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.

Cute dress. Love the zipper detail by the side. Love also your matching the brown panelled bottom part with your brown leopard shoes. I've been into matching bottoms to my shoes lately.
Your polky minty dress is perfect for a wedding. Love the pleats. Lovely earrings.
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.
The matchy matchy red is cute especially with your slim leo belt and cheery blazer and nails.
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.

Cute skirt. Love the look, Frannie.

1. Those pants are fabtacular! (I love making up words!)
ReplyDelete2. I so know what you mean. I feel that way with shoes. I'm so rough on shoes and when I get a great pair, I'm like...please don't rain, please don't let me scuff them, etc
3. Hahaha funny on the story with the lady with the earplugs.
4. I was outside my apt today at peak time (after work hrs) and people were checking mail and walking their dogs and I was blocking the main pathway...lol but I didn't mind if people were in my pictures, but somehow I managed not to capture a single person in my post tonight!

I agree with Shasie...those pants are fabtacular!! What a great vintage score.
ReplyDelete1. Thank you so much!
ReplyDelete2. LOL yeah, I get kinda protective over these pants. I almost skipped coffee. Almost. It was Monday after all.
3. You did a great job with your photos!
Why thank you so much and thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that, because when I saw your pants I immediately thought "Wow! I could never wear those! They would be stained in an instant". But they look absolutely incredible.
ReplyDeleteFlaviana, I really appreciate that-thank you!
ReplyDeleteRebecca, LOL and thank you so much. Yeah, it's a struggle. Aw, the sacrifices we make . . .
ReplyDeleteFab outfit!
ReplyDeleteLove your trousers!

Those white pants are sailor chic to the maximum. Lovely look.

Love this nautical look - the buttons on the sailor pants are just the icing on the cake -- or the anchor on the boat... whatevs..!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pieter! Good luck with your contest!
ReplyDeleteFabrizia, thank you for your compliment and invitation to visit your blog. I usually visit the blogs of every one of my commenters.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much! What a perfect description of them. I appreciate that!
ReplyDeleteLOL Vanessa! Thanks for the smile! And the compliment!
ReplyDeleteI definitely do the same thing with some of my vintage. Then I tell myself if I'm not loving it and wearing it, what's the point of it's existance? Those pants though - AMAZING. They fit you like a dream! I wish I was braver about outfit pics. I do not leave my yard. OK, sometimes I venture out onto the street but that's IT. :)
ReplyDeleteJenn
Jenn, that is what I'm saying!!!! And, at least through blogging, if I mess it up, I always have the pics that prove that at one time it was pretty. ;-) Thank you for your genuine compliment and for stopping by! No worries on taking shots outside. If you ever feel up to it, though, I highly recommend it. When I first started, I would not have been caught dead doing it. Now, though, it's a nice escape and a nice way to gain more confidence! Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI love those white high-waisted pants. I think that anything white that I wear will be treated like China that I barely use. haha, so you're not the only one. And I'm glad you're getting more comfortable shooting pictures outside on your own. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so cool! I tend to be that way with my stuff, but I have to remind myself that it's just stuff and I'll have more fun wearing it than admiring it on the hanger.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! These are my faves and I hope to be more comfortable with them some day. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteVery true Megan, very true. Thank you!
ReplyDeletecute pants! great post! so glad i found your blog!

Girl, you was having a burfday! Don't worry about it. Thanks as always for your sweet comment!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I think I have dreamed about those pants before. They are absolutely perfect! You better keep an eye on those. One of these days they might just vanish from your closet and you'll see them on my blog. No, no, just kidding, I won't stoop as low as theft to get the most amazing pants ever. It is tempting though.

I love this outfit, and yes I do it too. that is why I rarely take outdoor pics!
ReplyDeleteYou give me courage to though!
These are some great pics!
Thank you Michelle! I really appreciate that. Have fun at the vineyard!
ReplyDeleteAw gee thanks so much! It makes me feel great to know I have given you courage to take more outdoor pics. I was the LAST person to think that I could ever muster up the courage so I promise if I can, then you can. You get used to it the more you do it--you'll surprise yourself, I promise. Good luck! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThose sailor pants are VINTAGE!? Wow! What a score!
ReplyDeleteYou bet your bottom dollar and here's the kicker, get ready, they were NEW WITH TAGS!!!! I saw them on Rockin Robin's (my favorite vintage store) website and ran over immediately to buy them.
