Mission #35, Day 1--Easy Access Tops
Halter tops are a tricky endeavor. But here's the thing--they make breastfeeding a breeze. Of course, they have to be the kind of halter that ties in the back. And, to be brutally honest, because of leakage and size, you have to wear a bra at all times, you must add some kind of layer--a cardigan, a jacket, a blazer, etc.
This weekend we decided to go on a drive in the mountains. We took a ride up the Big Thompson Canyon, which we had not been since our anniversary. This was about a week or less before the big floods came in.
In a word, the drive was . . . depressing. The gorgeous, lush mountain drive had been devastated. The road had to be repaired, of course, and was mostly dirt. On the side of the road sat numerous uprooted trees, broken chairs and mangled metal from the guard rails.
I could hardly believe my eyes. I could not possibly imagine that less than a year ago when we made this gorgeous trip how different the scenery was.
For example, there used to be a beautiful park on the way up the mountain. Now? Gone. And I don't mean abandoned or some of the equipment got destroyed or it was muddy. I mean there was NO equipment. I mean every single tree had been completely wiped out. I mean not even a blade of grass was left. It was just dirt. And rocks.
And that was pretty much the entire drive. Absolutely devastating. And humbling really. In the span of a week, everything in this entire stretch of land spanning miles and miles had been destroyed. And with what?
Water. The same water we used to pull over on sunny summer days to dip our feet into. The same water we'd do down in inner-tubes. As Patrick said, it just goes to show you that we're not as big and bad as we think we are.

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.
