One Man Every Man
Doesn't this look like the perfect fall day? All bright and sunny-ish and colorful?
Well, it was until about an hour after these photos when it was freezing and raining.
And, lucky me, Kaden had a football game. So there I stood in the cold and the rain, watching my son play football.
Words cannot possibly describe how over the youth football season I am. Truly.
Nonetheless, Kaden's coach made t-shirts for all of the boys on the team with their team slogan on it: One Man, Every Man.
The boys were pretty stoked, so the coach opened the ordering to parents too stating that they made them in adult sizes as well.
He warned, however, that the moms might not be as comfortable wearing the t-shirt with the slogan on it.
One mom wrote back to the email: "This mom would proudly wear one!"
This funny little slogan is only exemplified by the fact that the name of the team that Kaden is on is The Trojans.
So the t-shirt says "One Man Every Man" on the front and "Trojans" on the back.
Um, yeah. I don't think she gets it.
Oddly enough, both of my sons are on teams called the Trojans. And I am very proud of both of them and their teams.
I'll cheer at the games (I am learning more and more about football each game, but really my "cheering" consists of clapping when the other parents clap because I still don't really get what the hell is going on), even if it means freezing my ass off.
But . . . I'll probably pass on the shirt. Thanks Coach.

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.
