Mission #39, Day 1--Joggers!--Black Joggers
When you find out you're pregnant, your wardrobe instantly starts shrinking before your eyes. Not only do the clothing options you already have start limiting themselves, but it seems every cute trend that comes out is not applicable to pregnant bellies. For me it was the mesh skirts, origami skirts and crop tops.
Luckily, when I found out I was pregnant with Reilly, the jogger/track pants trend was on the rise. This was just great--elastic waistbands, forgiving shape and, most of all, comfort. Not to mention, they are seasonally extremely versatile. They're pants so obviously they work in the cooler weather, but they have thin enough fabric so that they do well in the warmer months too.
So this week here on Frannie Pantz, Mission Week is all about the joggers. And I'm debuting the most versatile pair that I own--black. I say that because, given the reasons above, when they were "in" and they worked for pregnancy, you better believe I bought about 6 or so pairs.
Though some find them a little hard to style, I found they work in all kinds of environments. I have professionalized them up for work, I've worn them casually for the weekend and I find they can even work well for a dressy occasion. Of course, the accessories make all the difference as to whether you wear them to work or play.
I did wear this to work, but I could see this being a good girls night out for drinks look. The colors and leopard print are bright and fun, but the black pants make it more structured.
Have you jumped on the jogger trend? If so, I hope you enjoy this week's Mission Week. If not, maybe I can convince you!

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.
