Make it Work Monday #38
You guys. You'll never guess what today is. Today is my FIVE YEAR anniversary of my blog. And without a metallic balloon or pretty colored cupcake or floral arrangement or anything. HAVEILEARNEDNOTHINGFROMBLOGGING???? I mean c'mon! Seriously though, it's been a ride. I have to say, I didn't know that I would see a five year blog anniversary. But in all of the five years, I have loved every minute of it. I've been inspired by real women along the way and I have honestly gotten to do some cool shit. I don't know how long I can keep the momentum--I found my first grey hair this weekend, I'ver really enjoyed unplugged time with my kids and sometimes being a thrift blogger seems like the pits. But I do know, when I want to stop--I'll stop. But for now, I'm going strong y'all.
And on that note, I bring you a look that is inspired by my very first blog I ever really got into. It is the first one that inspired me to start a blog and I have remained a HUGE fan of her blog throughout my five years blogging. In fact, when I started my blog, I reached out to Jessica, not expecting her to respond, asking for her advice on my blog. As I said, I didn't expect a response as she is one of the bigger bloggers. But guess what--she responded! And gave me really great feedback on things that I could work on for my blog. She has great, relateable, vintage, and accessible style. Not to mention, she has a great many talents in everything from sewing adorable dresses to hat making. Now, she has the most adorable baby--Felix--and if you don't follow her IG for fashion, follow her to check out her adorable baby. Jessica from What I Wore--thank you for all your years of inspiration!

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.
