Mission #46, Day 4--Easy Peasy Dress and Layers
Easy peasy dress--simple. Comfy. No fuss. Pockets. It's a no-brainer. Layers--obvi. Jacket? It can get cold and then hot again. Scarf? Easy added interest and pattern mixing. Done and done.
Yesterday afternoon I had an appointment to get a check up on the van. And I knew ahead of time that it would be an hour layover. And Patrick's mom was set to stay with Reilly as I was going there right after work.
Now going to a dealership for a check up is nothing exciting. And technically it is a chore. But I have to tell you, it is the first time since I believe Reilly has been born that I had a set, known time of silence. No kids. No dishes to do. No laundry to fold. And it was glorious.
And they had free wi-fi. And free coffee. And it was a-mazing. Short. But good. It is crazy how having a kids and, in specific, a baby can make you appreciate all the little things--laughter, holidays, snowfall, little toes, sticky fingers. But it can also make you appreciate selfish moments--quiet moments, clean floors, coffee that you can drink while it is still hot.
And, as a mom, it's very important to recognize every moment--with your children, from their perspective and those that make you selfishy happy.

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.
