Mission #65, Day 3--Patterned
A fun way to spice up a shirtdress is to choose one in a fun pattern and/or colors. This shirtdress in particular has survived the donate pile several times. But I am sure glad that I rescued it for this fun bohemian style look. It's good for that.
So it's kind of a long story but this year Kaden, my oldest, is going to a private Christian school. I am not religious at all but it was our only option and I figured nothing bag could come from one year at the school.
Well while I am not really active at all on the religious front, I am extremely passionate about "gay rights" (which is kind of turning into a dated term, but you get the idea). For crying out loud, my two best friends are gay men! My kids were raised around them and consider them uncles.
How do these two stories fit? Well I will tell you. On Wednesdays at Kaden's school they serve pizza. Last week Kaden joked that they should try Taco Bell instead of pizza. The teachers told him that once in a while they would get Chick-fil-A to which Kaden responded "I don't really like to support Chick-fil-A because of their stance on gay rights."
They countered this with: "Well that's why we love them!" Kaden very matter of factly replied with: "Not me. I think that love is love and God loves all people." It's moments like these that happen out of the blue that really affirm to me--yep, I'm doing something right.

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.
