Mission #30, Day 4--Menswear--Jeans and Blazer
This menswear look for Mission Week is kind of a wash--more of a unisex look really. But as I begun to run out of ways to recreate a menswear look that I can pull off pregnant, I decided to go with something that a man could also wear. Minus, probably, the glittery shoes. Those take a special kind of man.
And speaking of a special kind of man, the further along in my pregnancy that I get, the more protective that Patrick gets. He went with me to the grocery store this weekend for the first time ever. Then, he only let me carry two things into the house when we got home: paper towels and eggs. He actually took the eggs out of the bag and handed them to me.
He parks the van in the driveway for me to get out instead of having me maneuver through the garage. He has tried to cut me off of soda (the only vice I have unsuccessfully cut from my routine). He doesn't like me to use the step stool in the kitchen.
As I mentioned, he has been doing some major remodeling in the house lately. Last night he was gluing pipes together with this super crazy glue and he had every window open and fans on so that the fumes were not consumed by me.
With all of this construction and remodel, there is a whole trailer full of drywall that needs to go to the dump. I told Patrick we should look up the next available free dump day. It is May 1. "Ooooooh that's cutting it a little too close," he says. Because apparently, come May 1 we will be barricading ourselves in the house with cans of beans and hot towels. I'm due mid-May.
He's adorable.

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.
