Mission #26, Day 1--Strechy Dresses
One of the best ways to start out on Mission Week is by using showing how to utilize your dresses while your belly grows. When you are pregnant, a stretchy dress is your best friend.
Over the weekend, I got a pedicure. I've spoke about pedicures before. I have mixed feelings on them. I've always been a little self conscious about my feet, but it is nice to get all polished up and rubbed down.
But I've never had one while pregnant. My belly is getting bigger by the minute, it feels like, and as with every pregnancy, I am getting varicose veins on my left leg. I can't complain too much about it, as I escape the stretch marks and some other vain problems, but it is pretty grotesque. Therefore, rolling up my pant legs and putting my big ole cankles up for all to see was a little intimidating.
But as my feet entered the warm bubbly bath and eventually got rubbed and my legs scrubbed and hot stoned and my overly chipped toenails (it's getting a little tiring and harder to bend over and got that done) painted, I got over it.
Plus, the one male that works at the place I frequent (CoCo Nails--check it out if you're local) was so cute. He kept checking my water temp for my foot bath and he got me a heating pad and a blanket. Out of nowhere. For no apparent reason.
Stretchy dresses and pedicures. Absolute maternity essentials.

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.
