Mission #33, Day 3
This totally thrifted look for Mission Week was another fave of mine maternity wise. At first, I wasn't big on it because, well, I felt really . . . big. But after I looked at these photos, I was actually really pleased with the look.
You know what is not so fun about toting a newborn around? The presence of an adorable newborn apparently gives strangers the impression that you have no idea what you're doing. And because you don't know what you're doing, they feel obligated to tell you how to do things.
One of the most annoying things I hear is the shock and dismay when we take Reilly out of the house at all. GASP! "He's how old?!? And you brought him here?!?" Lady, it's Sprouts, not a Ludicris concert. Don't worry, we've cleared taking him out of his bubble before attempting such a dangerous excursion.
Or Friday last week when my daughter was being honored with her third Academic All-Star Award this year and Reilly, Conner and I went to go see her. The kids wanted to show their classmates their new brother, so we walked out to each of their lines for about two minutes each.
We went to head back to the car when we were stopped by a woman who asked me how old Reilly was. "10 days," I responded proudly. A look of shame washed over her face. "OMG! Cover his head!!!" she demanded. Keep in mind, Reilly was swaddled in a thick blanket, fully dressed (with a little jacket) and it was 60 degrees out.
Look people, this isn't my first time at the rodeo. I love my kids. I will do anything for them and I take proper precautions to keep them safe at all times. I haven't lost one yet.

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.
