Mission Monday #34--Babysitter's Club
I've never been much of a reader, I admit. But when I was younger, my sister and I were obsessed with the Babysitter's Club series. And, while taking a leisurely oatmeal bath during my last week or so of pregnancy, I decided to watch the Babysitter's Club movie--classic--which led me to the idea to do a Babysitter's Club themed Mission Week. So we will, starting with this look inspired by the NYC native, sophisticated Stacey McGill.
In an effort to get back in shape and out of the house, I have taken up my old standby method of losing baby weight--walking. It was common after each of my pregnancies for me to walk for miles and miles with a stroller (and a baby strapped to my chest in the case of Brielle).
You know how some people claim to "looooove" working out and you want to smack them? That is how I honestly feel about walking. I love it. I love the sunshine, the fresh air and the soft breeze. I love the sounds and sights that you otherwise miss when driving a car--even if you've lived in that area your entire life.
That being said, I have noticed two very interesting things whilest walking around my little neighborhood the past couple of weeks. #1--There are A LOT of my neighbors that have pools. Like A LOT. And about 1 in 5 of them are actual in-ground nice pools. Weird for Colorado, I thought. #2--The only political signs I really see are for electing a coroner. Isn't that strange? I really don't know how you go about researching the credentials you want to have in a coroner. But people around here are really into it I guess. Bizarre.

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.
