Mission #46, Day 3--#sweatpantsduh
Can we all take a moment of praise that sweatpants and general loungewear are a "thing" now? Can I get an amen? Because, when styled correctly, it can look pretty damn good. And nothing beats the comfort factor of a good pair of sweatpants.
I wasn't always a sweatpants fan and it did take me a while to come around. Growing up we were poor. Jeans were a luxury that we could not really afford. And I remember that we had maybe one pair of jeans each--my sister, brother and I.
The rest of our legwear choices laid in sweatpants or leggings. I refused to wear sweatpants because I was determined that sweatpants were lazy, sloppy and just plain gross. My brother was obsessed with sweatpants. Namely, these canary yellow ones.
Once, I got so mad that he continued to wear these sweatpants. I remember reprimanding him on our way out the door to an outing. He didn't care, however. But I remember it clear as day.
I recently asked my brother if he remembered that. He was about 7 years old. He claimed he did not. "Really?" I asked. "Yeah," he responded "I don't know why I wouldn't remember that. You know what, she's right." He joked. I love my brother's wit.

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.
