Mission #69, Day 2
Here is a head to toe black work look for you--professional trousers, shirt and blazer. With some sky high Mary Jane heels and a fun red bag thrown in for good measure.
One of the biggest drawbacks to my new job is not being able to take my kids to school anymore. I have taken them to school everyday of their school lives! Now Patrick drops all of the kids off--Kaden to high school, Conner and Brielle to elementary school and Reilly to day care. While this sounded freeing at first, it has been kind of hard to get used to. Often times I don't even see my kids for the first time until after I get home from work--about 6:30 at night.
Patrick was talking to someone else about how he drops the kids off now and he used the words "I get to drop the kids off." He truly views it as a privilege to spend some morning time with them and drop them off at school. And that really makes me feel better because I know that he means it.
And it's legit. Conner and Brielle love Patrick, don't get me wrong, but they haven't had as much time with him as Kaden and Reilly have. And I have definitely noticed a vast improvement in their relationships with Patrick. For example, Brielle now pretty much has Patrick wrapped around her finger.
It is kind of a loss to me that I can't drop my kids off at school anymore. But I have to remember that I got to for several years. Now it's Patrick's turn. And I am ok with that because it makes my kids and Patrick very happy.

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.
