Mission #69, Day 3
Another way to do a head to toe black look correctly? Layers. Add a bunch of fun black pieces of different textures--here a leather coat, a soft sweater, a pleated mini skirt. Nothing boring about that!
Similar to yesterday, something else that I miss is picking my kids up from school. A couple of weeks ago, I got to pick them up from school when I left work early to take Reilly to a doctor appointment. I was so excited. I got to the school early, parked a bit away and walked up to the school to greet them! They got out of school, saw me and (instead of running to me to hug me like I envisioned in my mind), promptly asked "Where's Gramma?"
Patrick's mom has been helping to pick the kids up from school and take them to their various activities for us. So I was a little bummed that my kids weren't more excited to see me, but when I got home I found out why. I let my kids have an afternoon snack, as I'm sure many of you moms do. On this day, they went to the pantry and pulled out . . . cookies for snack. That's a no go and they know that.
Well apparently now that Gramma picks them up--they get cookies for snack. Or ice cream. Or milkshakes. Or some other variation of sweet and sugary snack. And this is part of the reason (although obviously not the only reason) that my kids are really stoked that Gramma picks them up from school.
Sigh. Grandparents. It's their job to spoil the kids. I love it because it makes me miss my grandmothers so very much. I get it. Snack on kids, snack on.

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.
