Mission #32, Day 5--Polka Dot Trousers
It's the last day of Mission Week and here are some of my saving grace maternity pants--these polka dot trousers. They are cute, comfy and have pockets. This look with printed pants is great for a girl's night or a casual Friday at the office--fun yet professional.
I took these right by a funeral home by my office to capture the gorgeous pink blossoms in the trees. As you can see, there is a wall to my right (your left in the photos), so I figured I was safe. And I was. I snapped away without issue.
But toward the end of my little shoot, I suddenly here "OH! I thought you were taking selfies," a man exclaimed from over the wall. "You snappin' those trees are ya?"
After I jumped about 40 feet in the air, I just went with it--agreeing with his theory that I was only here for the trees. He asked if I had gotten photos of the trees at the cemetery across the highway and I told him I had not. He told me that I was "more than welcome to do so" as there were no burials scheduled that day.
First of all, sir, what the hell? Can't you just let me do whatever it is I'm doing without scaring the bejesus out of a 9 month pregnant woman by peering over a cement wall? Second, thanks for the permission to take photos of trees in a public cemetery . . . I guess . . . And lastly, do blog photos constitute as selfies?

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.
