Thursday Mixer--Black Jogger Pants
Joggers got big right when I found out I was pregnant with Reilly and it was the greatest timing. Drawstring waist, loose fit and generally low maintenance--I was in. So I bought several when they went on major sale at Nordstrom's and it was a solid investment.
I paid $30 for this pair which is kind of pricey for me. But I have worn these specific pair 6 times in a year--on the blog anyway. Which makes the current price per wear $5. And this doesn't take into account how many times I've worn the other pairs I bought.
I've told many a story on this blog about the instances I have with the general public when I take my blog photos. I get it--a girl with a tripod, taking pictures of herself can warrant some questions. But sometimes it leads to some pretty interesting stories.
This one will go down as one of my faves. I was taking these photos when a couple came to have a smoke break right next to me. And I mean right next to where I was taking photos. Normally, I'd move, but they were smoking the MMJ and so I opted to stay. They seemed harmless.
Well the guy (pictured in the background of the second photo in this post) had a very distinct accent. He started talking to me about how he was from Moscow. He told me about his travels. He told me about his ex-wife and his recent arrests for domestic violence and how his immigration test was the next day and his lawyers.
He told me about everything. But my favorite thing he told me about was the similarities between downtown Longmont and East L.A. I have to say, I have lived in Longmont, Colorado a large portion of my life and I have never heard it compared to East L.A. And I don't think I ever will either. Wow.

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.
