Mission #37, Day 2--Printed Tulle
Thanks to a certain Sex and the City star, tulle skirts have had a HUGE outbreak in the fashion world and thus have become available in an abundance of shades, lengths and even patterns. So for this second look for Mission Week I give thee the star printed tulle mini skirt.
Are you all sick of patriotic looks? Because here's another one for ya. In fact this is what I wore to celebrate our nation's bday. Stars and stripes. Duh.
So a lot of people have seemed amazed at how I'm handling life as a new-again mother. "How are you not exhausted? How do you handle four kids?!?! How do you have time to _______ with so many kids?" Well here's the secret recipe:
1 part organization. I am mercilessly making lists and keeping things organized. Always have been this way. 1 part helpful husband. Seriously I wouldn't be able to do any of this without ending up in a straight jacket without Patrick. 1 part older kids. With my older three kids being an older age, it makes things about a million times easier. They are all pretty self sufficient and thus don't need me to do everything for them. Not only that, but I've learned that the older the kids get, the less they are at home. They constantly have something going on--sports or going to a friend's or a friend coming over here.
Between all of this and a more limited schedule with my younger kiddos in the summer, it makes taking care of a newborn the least challenging task of all! And even better--I can really enjoy it. And knowing how quickly it all goes, I really try to.

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.
