Brothers
Boys are so much different than girls, at least in my situation. When my daughter has friends over or is involved in an activity, you don't hear a peep.
Usually this is because she and her friends are playing restaurant or coloring or playing with Playdough. The most you will hear is some light chatter or giggles.
But not my boys. Not by a long shot. Unfortunately, my sons (12 and 8) are not always on good terms. Usually, Conner is tagging along after Kaden or one of them is just annoying the other one.
But then there are those amazing nights where . . . they are getting along perfectly. And for some reason, this is the second night in a row in which the two have just plain old enjoyed each other's company. It's so great, you have no idea, to see the two of them getting along.
Unfortunately, the energy and noise level is similar--whether the boys are getting along or fighting. And that noise level is LOUD and that energy level is HIGH. Bouncing, jumping, running, laughing, yelling, joking.
Aw, boys. This must be one reason why my daughter told me the other day that we need to have five more girls in the house. This seems a bit extreme, I realize, but she did assure me that we would not need a new car--just a horse trailer to haul all these hypothetical children around.

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.
