Mission #63, Day 3--Glittery
These gold smoking slippers have been a welcome and fun addition to my flats collection. They really "lighten up" an outfit. I say "lighten up" because EVERY time I wear them, people (in particular my boss . . .) makes the comment "Wow! You could see those from a mile away!"
Currently, I am in typical oh-my-gosh-summer-is-ending-and-I-didn't-do-anything-I-wanted-to mode. August will do that to me. Sure, we went on vacation and had BBQs and swam and sunned and saw numerous baseball games. But it still always seems like summer ends too quickly and before we know it, there's layers and a chill in the air and the sun sets quicker and ice cream makes way to warm pumpkin EVERYTHING.
I don't mind the fall at all. The chilly air gives a nice break from the summer heat. I am a soup aficionado. I love sweaters and boots as much as the next girl. But the problem that I have with fall is that a) people get WAY too excited about it, b) all the pretty flowers and green plant life begins to die and turn an ugly brown, and c) it means that REALLY cold winter is just around the corner.
School starts for us in two weeks from today. That's crazy. It seems like just yesterday I was walking my kids home during the last week of school. The silver lining here is that the kids come back to their school schedule meaning I get to see them LOTS more.
And I love ice cream. And I love late summer walks. And I love BBQs and swimming and sunshine. But none of that means anything when I don't get to spend as much time with my little Conner and Ellie. Welcome back kiddos.

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.
