Thursday Mixer--Free People Dress
I got this dress with a Macy's gift card two years ago and it's still going strong. I have worn this dress as a dress and as a skirt. It even fit over my super preggo belly! It has a really cool texture and mustard is one of my favorite colors ever--both on its own and to mix with other colors.
The retail on this dress was $50. I didn't spend that (gift card), but had I, the current price per wear of this dress would be $8 or so. For a Free People dress, not too bad. But then again I am obsessed with Free People and would wear their stuff exclusively if I could afford it.
So this weekend is a big one for Kaden and Brielle. Their dance classes (as well as the class that Kaden teaches) are performing for the halftime show for the Colorado Ice game. It is a huge deal and they are both really excited.
Of course, true to form, Kaden is stoked not only to be the center of attention (he has no problem with this whatsoever and even has three solos), and not only to see his boys perform (he is so proud of them and the work that he does with them), but he is also excited about his outfit.
Kaden has his mother's style. The only requirement for his costume is that they have a red jacket. He has been orchestrating outfit options from said jacket and has even bedazzled his sneakers so that sparkle off of the lights for the show. He's my kid alright.
Mustard Dress (worn as a skirt)-Free People; Mint Mesh Sweater-Target; Boots-vintage; Skull Belt-Target; Starfish Earrings-c/o Touchstone Crystals; Buckle Cuff-H&M

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.
