Share the Covers--So Happy Together
Here is the original by the Turtles, a song I've always loved . . .
And the kick ass punk version by Buck Wild . . .
You could kinda call this a birthday outfit. My mom sent me the lace blouse, the tank underneath, the gold cloche and the beaded belt for my birthday. I believe her exact words were "I can't wait for you to see it. I've nearly thrifted you a whole outfit and I am so proud of myself!"
And she did a great job and I couldn't wait to wear it, but I had to because my Grandpa also sent me a check for my birthday (isn't it so cute that I'm 31 and my Grandpa still sends me a birthday check?) and . . .
I had been on the lookout for camo skinnies that were not ninetyfreakingdollars forever and finally found some on the Kohl's website. (They're on sale now peeps!!!) And since I used birthday money, it didn't really count as breaking the ban (which I am still kind of on even though I did get the new camera already--I'm practicing restraint).
Of course, I knew these would go perfectly with the shtuff my mom had sent, so I had to wait until these babies came in to wear them together. And viola! Mad props to my mom, my Grandpa and birthdays for this outfit!

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.
