Mission #33, Day 1
This week for Mission Week we are celebrating the all thrifted outfit and I am starting with one of my favorite looks I wore during my pregnancy. I thrifted this non-maternity dress in February and it really proved its worth.
This weekend was one of those perfect weekends where nothing and lots of things happen simultaneously in perfect harmony. Conner unfortunately got really sick on Saturday. In an effort to keep Baby Reilly away from the germs and allow Patrick time to hammer around on the bathroom remodel (sooooo close to being done!), Brielle and I went out on the town.
First, we went to the Farmer's Market. I just love going to the Farmer's Market. Not only is the food amazing, but it's just such a wholesome experience--especially with the kids. I'm getting to actually know the vendors and what they sell. Brielle's favorite part? The chocolate goat milk.
Then, in the spirit of Reilly's umbilical cord falling off, we decided that he needed a slew of bath supplies. Target here we come! This, of course, turned into PJs that Reilly needed. And outfits. And baseball slippers. And then Brielle "needed" a maxi dress. So we went on a search for one.
Then, on Sunday my family all met at the park we usually meet at for the Spina Bifida walk on or around Mother's Day. We weren't able to make the walk this year because of the birth of Reilly--which bummed me out. But this . . .
Was totally worth the wait.

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.
