Mission #32, Day 4--Floral Track Pants
When I first found out I was pregnant, track pants were all the rage. This worked to my advantage because they are (usually) drawstring waist. So when I found out that they were on major sale at Nordstrom, I shamelessly ordered four (or five?) pairs. These floral ones are an all time fave and another great way to show how to wear printed pants for Mission Week--with more prints!!!!
Today is May Day--Happy May Day everyone! My mom texted me yesterday and told me she wouldn't mind a May Day baby. So I'm relieved about that. But . . .
She also reminded me that my sister and I actually did used to celebrate May Day back in the day. There was a time when we would make flowers out of tissue and toilet paper and make little baskets and deliver them to our friends' doorsteps on May Day. We were so creative. And thoughtful. And modest--obvi.
There was another time we tried to celebrate May Day too. When we lived in Denver, we tried to, ahem, help ourselves to some flowers around the neighborhood for our mom. By neighborhood, I mean the neighbor's yards.
We weren't trying to be destructive or to steal. We really just kind of thought . . . if they were in the front yard, they were kind of for everyone. And we would only take one . . . from each yard. Until, that is, we got caught by a neighbor. And she was P-I-S-S-E-D. And we got scared and we ran home.
To simply exhibit the difference in personalities between my sister and I--my reaction was such as "OMG we're going to jail." My sister on the other hand--"Woooo! We're gonna be on the news!"

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.
