Mission #51, Day 4--OTK Boots
Black over the knee (OTK) boots can be considered scandalous (thanks Julia Roberts), but when worn properly, they can add just the right amount of drama. For example--with this pretty pleated leather midi skirt.
Granted, this might be cheating just a tad because you can't really see that they are over the knee boots, but I just got this skirt from Fevrie and I really wanted to wear it immediately. The leather is soft (and faux), the colorblocking is spot on with the cream, maroon and navy and the pleats add a ladylike quality to the leather.
Friends, I have actually worn this within 24 hours of actually wearing it in real life. This never happens. Please know--every single outfit on this blog I actually wear and usually wear it all day from work to kid activities and beyond. But I have a hefty (by choice) backlog that I utilize and sometimes my outfits are posted weeks behind when they were actually worn.
I know that sometimes this annoys people, but I figure that if I actually did wear it (or didn't--who cares??? It can still offer inspiration either way!)--it counts. But it does feel a little weird to be posting pics of an outfit that I actually did just wear.
Nonetheless, I also wanted to let you guys know that you can go to Fevrie right now and use the discount code franniepantz for 15% off of your order! For perspective, that would make this skirt under $100! Go check them out!

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.
