Early Bird
After last weekend's chaos, I was really looking forward to taking it easy this weekend. However, Patrick and I have at least something (wedding, birthday party, walks for causes, etc.) lined up every single weekend until June.
So when I got the email from Goodwill that it was half off Saturday, I didn't rush to make plans. But when Sally told me that there were also 99 cent jean doorbusters, I set my alarm. Not for me. I have 37 pairs of jeans. But Patrick and the kids could certainly use a re-up.
So early I rose. I made a killing at Goodwill--several jeans and shirts and shorts for all! And half off! And an extra 20% for being a rewards member! While I was at being up so early, I decided to make a morning of it for myself and go to the Farmer's Market while I was at it. Patrick, the kids and I have grown an addiction to a certain Lemon White Chocolate bread. Oh yes. You heard right. Amaaaaaazing.
I was no sooner home and gloating about my tag poppin' than it was time to head out for my cousins' kids' birthday parties. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and the party was at the park. So I did the usual--photo stalked everyone, played with my nieces and nephews and hung out with my siblings.
We laughed, we ate, we played kickball, I got some sun on my legs FINALLY and now I have cheese and nut stuffed shells in the oven. A pretty freaking amazing Saturday if I do say so. Totally worth the alarm.

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.
