Taking Advantage
This weekend I've been taking advantage. Let me count the ways . . .
1. Totally took advantage of shopping with my sister in law. She spotted this bubble gum pink varsity jacket with an R on it!!! On clearance. Basically, it didn't take much convincing to get me on board with the purchase . . . but my SIL said she would take the blame anyways. Whatta girl.
2. Totally taking advantage of my brother being here. It's nice to have an extra set of hands, that's for sure, but more so, it's nice to have some adult company.
3. Coffee. With Kaden's birthday party on Friday night, we're all a little worse for the wear sleep wise.
4. Gorgeous don't-even-need-a-coat weather. I'm lovin' it up for as long as I can.
5. Wedge sneakers being back in style. I've had these forever and now I can wear them with a little extra pep in my step. It makes me laugh because Bob at my office used to get on my case about not owning any sneakers. So I ordered these. Apparently these, to him, are still not sneakers.
6. A clean house. Well, for the ten minutes or so it stays clean anyways between kids in and out.
7. Playdates. Conner and Brielle both have friends over right now--another brother and sister from their school. People always think the more kids, the harder to handle. I say, the more the merrier. They keep themselves contained with company.
8. Radio. For as long as I've had an iPod, I've forgone the radio--minus Pandora. But my kids actually got me back into radio lately and I can't believe how much I've missed out on!
9. Thanksgiving week. Short work week. All the lawyers are out. The Courts are closed most of the week. Most clients are out of town and/or have all their holiday time issues worked out. It's gonna be *knocks on wood and crosses fingers* a very chill week. I may or may not catch up on my Pinning.

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.
