Share the Covers--Lollipop
Here is the original:
And here is the cover:
This outfit is the direct result of Patrick and I somehow sleeping through and/or the malfunction of all four of our combined alarm clocks.
Luckily, our fifth and most reliable alarm clock, Kaden, got us up just in the nick of time. I had about nine minutes to get out the door to take the boys to school and go to work.
Luckily, I've had this combo sitting waiting to be worn for quite a while, since the Target gift card spree actually. Even though the colors are bordering on spring/summer/lollipop (get it? huh? huh?), I'm all right with it.
Even though I have damn near every color of the rainbow in skinny jeans, I am always willing to add more of them to my closet. So when these hot pink skinnies caught my little eyeballs on the clearance rack, it didn't take long to convince me to make them a part of my wardrobe.
As for the sweater, mint is a color that has been exponentially growing in my closet over the last year or so ever since it's explosion in the spring. Not only that, but I am a sucker for a dolman sleeve and mesh fabric.
After having snowy, slushy, ice cold temps for the last three days, this week we are welcoming the sunshine with bare, open arms with 70 degree temps.
Although I am wearing jeans today, I fully plan on rocking skirts and dresses sans tights for as long as humanly possible before this warm streak goes away.
Every time a season fades away, I get a little bit of anxiety over my closet. When summer ends, it is the worst because as much as I love boots and cardigans and tights and sweaters, I am a dresses and skirts girl through and through. And nothing against tights, but it's just not the same when you have to cover your legs up.
A winter with no snow other than Christmas, temps in the high 60's at least, no icy roads, no slushy boot feet--is that too much to ask? #alreadyloathingwinteranditsnotevenhereyet

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.
