To Market To Market
Today was the day. The day that Patrick and I have waited for for weeks. Today was the first Saturday that we were able to go to the Farmer's Market for the first time.
Last weekend was the first Saturday it was open, but we were low on cash and Patrick had drill. So today we were going to make it a point to head down there and check it out.
Can you believe I've lived in Longmont, Colorado for more than half of my life and had never been to the Farmer's Market? I knooooooow! I was really psyched.
It's true. The Farmer's Market is more expensive than the grocery store, but you guys. It was sooooooo good. There are samples everywhere of gluten free, organic goodness ranging from pies to pesto, from hot sauce to pasta sauce, from granola to goat cheese. All locally grown. All delicious.
I was, of course, disappointed in the weather. It was supposed to be nearly 70 today and, well, it certainly didn't feel like it. But dammit, I was determined not to wear tights and bare my legs.
I also wore these awesome earrings that Patrick's dad's friend made for me. He makes them out of deer antlers that he finds shed in the forest. He carved humming birds into these ones, which were my grandmother's favorite animal.
And, yes, I'm wearing this thrifted Free People cardigan again, but I couldn't resist a nod to the primary color wheel, an extra light layer and some coverage for the shirtdress.
If you are in the Longmont area and want to visit the Farmer's Market, I highly suggest you do so. You can find more information about it here. Or find out where the Farmer's Markets are in your area and go. You will not be disappointed.
Red Crocheted Duster Cardigan-Free People, thrifted; Chambray Shirtdress-thrifted; Mustard Belt-Kohl's; Mustard Suede Moccasins-Target; Straw Woven Tote-thrifted; Fedora-K-Mart; Bangles-Kohl's; Antler Hummingbird Carved Earrings-DIY and gifted
In case you were interested, and I'm sure you are, here are some photos I took just playing around for you to feast your eyes on:

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.
