Mission #39, Day 5--Grey Joggers
It's the last day of Mission Week. Here's the final jogger/track pants look for you--casual with the tee, polished with the blazer, heels and dangly earrings. I know they weren't really "meant" to be together, but I swear there is no better match in general than band tees, blazers and heels.
The other day Kaden was out with a friend when the friend's mom took the boys out to buy her son back to school clothes. He came home so excited.
"Mom!" He said. "Guess I'm a personal shopper now." He explained that his friend really wanted this expensive pair of shoes for $70. Kaden convinced him that, no, he didn't need $70 shoes. And with that $70 got the kid hooked up with shorts, a shirt, a hat and another pair of shoes.
Not only that but the kid wanted to get shorts that were two sizes too big so he could "sag them" (yeah, apparently that's still a "thing" for middle schoolers). Kaden told him that was waaaaaaay out of style and got the kid to get shorts his own size.
Kaden's friend's mom was really impressed and so was I. She asked Kaden how he learned to shop so well and Kaden answered that he was raised by his mom and two gay guys (my two best friends--Matty and Chris). I laughed and then told him he might want to clarify since my brother was staying with us. The mom might come over one day and think that Patrick and my brother were the two gay guys. Woops.

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.
