Mission #4, Day 3
Day 3 of Mission Week with pencil skirts and today is a much more colorful, eclectic approach. I didn't really want to wear tights, but Colorado took a chilly turn last minute. And I wanted to wear my leopard heels instead of the flats but today called for flats because . . .
It's official. Brielle has Influenza A. Certified. Kaden probably has it but tested negative because the doctor said she thinks we caught it early. Conner had to get a physical. All three required prescriptions. That's three doctor appointments, three prescriptions,hundreds of dollars for same and yet another missed day of work.
Luckily my work is really compassionate. I've been working there for three and a half years. They know me. They like me. And Patrick fixed it up so I can work from home. So between dozens of fixins of toast, poring of waters, administering of medicines, disinfecting and temperature checking, I can actually work.
And I have to say, it's really weird for two of my kiddos (my two most active kiddos at that) to be down for the count. This morning I actually saw a glimmer of hope as they were smiling and joking for a bit there. It's strange because sometimes when they are their normal selves, all you want is peace and quiet. But when they're sick and therefore lethargic and silent, all you want is to see them run around and cause mischief.
The kids can't return to school until they've been fever free and on prescriptions for 24 hours. So I'm automatically out of commission from the office tomorrow again. I wanted a vacation from work and all and quiet times at school, but if I don't start getting some crazed phone calls about child support and breaking up arguments over who got a bigger piece of Pop Tart soon, Imma lose my mind!

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.
