Mission #41, Day 2--Metallic Hat
Today we are exploring yet another way to rock metallics this fall and that is in small doses with accessories. So for this look, I kept it simple in all black but threw on my gold cloche that my mom thrifted for me some time ago (thanks mom!).
So something else I hadn't really thought about until our anniversary yesterday was this little tidbit: I have not smoked a cigarette for a year now! Awesome right? And I have no intention of ever starting that habit up again.
I found out I was pregnant with Reilly on September 3rd last year. As you might or might now remember, I was a smoker. I know, I know. Nasty. I get it. I'd smoked since I was 15 years old. I quit with every pregnancy and then would start up again like an idiot--usually thinking I could have "just one". It never works that way.
Before, I would totally miss smoking. I really did love it at one point. I loved the release, the break, the social aspect. But this time is totally different. The smell of smoke made me so sick with Reilly, I couldn't fathom smoking again.
And honestly I don't miss smoking one bit this time. I don't miss the smell, I don't miss the addictive "need" to smoke, I certainly don't miss the high price of cigarettes. I don't miss the mess in my car and I don't miss the freezing my ass off to supply a habit.
So yay! One year, no smoking. That's pretty freaking awesome if you ask me. I think I've saved enough money not smoking to treat myself to a hair dye, amirright?

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.
