Thursday Mixer--Polka Dot Blazer
I just got this blazer in mid-2013. Honestly, I thought I would wear it more than I do. This was something that I call a "blogger only must have." Meaning--in the blog world, it seems that everyone had a polka dot blazer and I needed one even though IRL I hadn't seen anyone actually wear one.
But I got it for $15 and I've worn it a documented 5 times making the cost per wear $3. And I want to wear it more. I guess I'll make that a goal. Note to self--wear polka dot blazer more.
So I posted this on Instagram (you should probably follow me cause I'm cool like that), but yesterday was just oneofthosedays. Seriously, I was done. I was done with chores and with work and with kid stuff. Reilly finally cut a tooth and hasn't been sleeping so adding exhaustion to the mix didn't help.
On the phone with Patrick I was super bitchy. He hadn't done anything wrong but it was one of those things where he was on my shitlist--pretty much for just existing at that moment. Not his fault. And he knew it. But he obviously knew that I was annoyed (yeah, that's a nice way to put it).
So he walks in the door and I had just sat down without purpose for the first time that day--around 6:00 p.m.--and he asks me to come and help him with something. Annoyed, I let out a loud sigh and sauntered over like an overtired toddler to find him holding a half a dozen roses. Just to brighten my day. And it did.
And speaking of brightening your day, don't forget that tomorrow is the last day to enter the giveaway for that adorable little elephant pin. I will be announcing the winner on Monday. Good luck!

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.
