Thursday Mixer--Mint Skinny Jeans
I was surprised, going through my archives, to learn that I only purchased these mint skinny jeans in March of 2012 because I feel like I have had them forever. I very vividly remember them being a huge "thing" in the blogging world around that time and being stoked when I found a decently priced pair.
Luckily for me, this was not one of those fleeting trends that ended up being worn half as much as I thought I would--hello, high-low hem skirts. Instead, it has become a real staple in my wardrobe and to date my favorite pair of colored jeans. Purchased for $20 and worn a documented 9 times making the current cost per wear of these jeans . . . about $2.
I am so excited. Tonight my best friend Matty is coming into town from New York. He moved there with his boyfriend last year and I miss him so much. It's one of those things where we lived an hour away, saw each other once every other month or so, spoke on the phone every few weeks, but now that he lives across the country it seems like I miss him more than ever.
We became best friends when we were 15 and thus have been best friends for over half of our lives. He is the funnest, sweetest, most thoughtful person I know. I cannot wait to see him!
I'm meeting him and some girlfriends for dinner. I get this text from him: "Don't worry about monies, where does your pregnant ass want to eat?" It's hard not to miss him when you get texts like that.
Don't forget to enter the Blue Nile giveaway! A winner will be picked on January 15, 2014!

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.
