Thursday Mixer--Beige Maxi Skirt
I got this maxi skirt to attend an Orthodox Jewish Sabbath several years ago for a college class with one of my mom's best friends. It was an amazing cultural experience.
But at the time, I didn't own any long skirts and didn't feel like investing in any so I got this skirt at Savers for what I believe to be $6 or so. It may actually be one of my first thrifting purchases come to think of it. Current price per wear (only documented by the blog, though really it is much lower IRL): $1.
My daughter and I have made a new tradition together. After we drop my younger son off at football practice, we have about an hour or so to kill before we have to pick him up. So we go to the library.
My daughter is a bookworm. She's always loved to read. She's 6, but she reads at a 4th grader level. She can whiz through books. So we picked my son up from practice today after a library run. She started playing the shadow game, where she copies everything everyone says--me and her brother.
Conner and I were naturally getting annoyed so I told him just not to talk to her until she could stop copying us. "Finally," my daughter says, "Silence so I can read my book." She's one smart cookie.

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.
