Thursday Mixer--Black Leather Vest
I got this vest so, so long ago--at least three years ago. If I remember correctly, it was $15 or so. And while I haven't worn it as much as I should for the last three-ish years, it certainly has gotten its fair share of wears.
$15 divided by 8 documented wears = about $2 per wear. Not bad.
Working in law is weird. It really gives you a big spin on the way you think about things. For example, I never put my signature on anything that I have not read and agree with. I make sure to document everything I can. And I also keep any necessary receipts and agreements.
I've also tried to pass these practices on to my family. You never know if you might need these things later on in life. In fact, my brother recently had a run in with his landlord/apartment (which is why he has been staying with us). It's a long story. But you better believe that when the incident occurred, he took pictures. He kept receipts and voicemails.
Sometimes when Brielle and Kaden do their laundry, they somehow end up intermingled in the machines and they get in trouble for overloading the machines. The last time that Brielle had laundry, she approached me with her cell phone. On it was a picture of the empty washing machine and then another picture with only her clothes in it. She did this to prove that she was not the one contributing to the overloading of the machine.
That's my girl.

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.
