Mission #5, Day 3
These were taken yesterday on a very dreary, rainy, blech day. I decided to chose the comfort route while still trying to summon the spring gods and what nots with pastels. But I did sport the polka dots for this week's Mission Week.
My summoning must have worked because today was GORGEOUS. PS-I had to buy this sweater at Target in an emergency because this sweater, i.e. one of my faves, became victim to a space heater (don't ask).
So the vegetarian thing is going phenomenal, since you asked. Last night we decided to take it to a whole new level. We bought a juicer.
Patrick's actually been wanting one for a long time now, but I always shrugged it off as another gadget that he "needed" that we would never use (he has a tendency to be a bit impulsive and is a salesman's dream customer). But after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, we were sold.
It's important to point out here that Kaden, my 12 year old, has been the biggest antagonist in the vegetarian diet. To his credit, it's all my fault. I had him at 18. I was a poor single mother. So that meant his diet consisted largely of frozen pizza, corn dogs, mac and cheese and other horrible "meals." By the time I was actually cooking what I thought to be nutritious food, he was already programmed to like crap food.
So Pat bought the juicer. He took Kaden with him to the store to pick out a table full of fruits and veggies. He taught him how to chop the produce and put it in the juicer. We made our first juice, cheers-ed it up and took our first drink. Kaden's face lit up. "Mom, I think I like being a vegetarian now." LOL He's on spring break right now. I came home from work today to find the kitchen in disarray. But it was all due to fruits and veggies and the juicer. So, I will chalk this up to a success.

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.

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.
