Mission #32, Day 3--Leopard Jeans
I was so psyched when I discovered I could still fit into these leopard skinny jeans from my pre-pregnancy days I almost peed myself (hey, no one said it was glamorous). They are a great addition to Mission Week as printed denim is not only EVERYWHERE, but also a great way to ease into the printed pants scene. Denim just seems safer for some reason.
I actually wore this a few weeks ago to have a spontaneous lunch with my bestie, Matty, at my favorite Thai restaurant, The Buddha. Seriously, if you are in Boulder and craving Thai, GO. You will not be disappointed.
It's approps that I post this today and that I talk about Matty today because we also spontaneously were up Facebook chatting at about 3 a.m. this morning. I couldn't sleep and he saw me on IM and we ended up chatting. So random. So good. I love my best friend so much.
He's been such a big part of my life for so long (going on 17 or 18 years now) that my kids call him Uncle Matty. He has had such an influence on them too and they love him just like an uncle, especially my oldest, Kaden.
When Kaden was really young, Matty was the only male influence that Kaden really had (besides my brother who was the same age then that Kaden is now). I use the term "male influence" loosely as Matty is clearly a homosexual (anyone else get the Margaret Cho/SATC reference there? Anyone?). I remember one time, I had taken Kaden to Sears or someplace to get his Christmas pictures taken. Matty was with us and Kaden refused to sit in the picture without me and Matty. The photographer looked at Kaden and told him to smile at Daddy. We started to correct her but then were just like . . . whatever. Those were some of the best photos of Kaden. LOL

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.
