Mission #33, Day 2
This totally thrifted look for Mission Week is actually kinda special to me because it is the last outfit I wore (save for a hospital gown) before I had my little Reilly. These photos were actually even taken right outside of my doctor's office. Do I look ginormous and uncomfortable? Because I am both of those things.
I also wore this outfit to a bridal shower--my first ever--for Patrick's cousin, Nicole. I have been to slews of baby showers, but no bridal showers. It was really fun!
It's crazy how time flies. My little guy turned two weeks yesterday and I can hardly believe that we've been blessed with him for two weeks now. In a way, it feels like he's been here forever. But looking back at these photos, I realize that only a short 14 days-ish ago, I was still able to balance a cereal bowl on my big ole belly.
I can't say I miss the belly so much. I know that sounds bad, but I much prefer my baby on the outside. Even with the sleepless nights (oh yes, there are plenty of those) and spit up and constant feedings. I am so glad to have my little guy here and not be soooo big (although, I do still have a ways to go before I am back to normal) and helpless and sore and tired and uncomfortable.
And, being a mother to three already at 13, 9 and 7 I just know that before I know it, my little newborn who can barely keep his little eyes open long enough to smile at you will be riding a bike and reading a book and all of those other things. Time is crazy--for real.

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.
