Enabler
I am a Pinterest addict. I fully admit it. But I am not a fair weather Pinner. I actually cook a TON of recipes from Pinterest, I wear a lot of outfits that I Pin, my wedding DIYs came almost exclusively from Pinterest and when my kids and I are bored, we browse the crafts section.
Not only do I use Pinterest like it's a life tool (it is), but I have brought many, many others aboard the Pinterest express--co-workers, family and friends. Seriously. And most of them have also become addicted to the site as well.
My most recent conquest was my mother. Once she became acquainted with how to use it, there was no turning back. She sends me Pins all day long. She takes still photos of them and sends them to Kaden, my oldest son. Her number of boards is growing by the day and she is pretty willing to rePin any Pin I will send to her.
But my mother is a freak. The woman hates ice cream. That's right. She can't handle it. She's not much of a sweet person anyhow and her teeth are sensitive so it creeps her out.
So when I saw this Pin:
I thought she would surely find it amusing--not necessarily rePin it, but it just reminded me of her. Not an hour had gone by from my sending this Pin to her did I receive this email:
*LM means Love More--like my signature . . . it's a family thing
What can I say? The woman knows her Pinning limits. Like any good addiction, one must maintain moderation.

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.
