That's My Boy!
First of all, don't be fooled. This is not a nonchalant "oh, I just happen to be on a phone call" pose. This shit is legit. I have a very limited time for outfit shots and my mom called. So . . .
Hi Mom!
Tonight was our final leg of football madness. Kaden had his football banquet. It was pretty cool. The coach made a highlights video. He also gave out awards.
Guess which awards my son got tonight? Best Helmet Hair and Best Uniform Bling. The latter was an award given out for the first time this year. That's my boy!
I really wish that Patrick had been there for it. Kaden, of course, was in head to toe camo. He has been since Patrick left.
Nonetheless, I did get to talk to Patrick today for a bit. The problem is that he is ten hours ahead and works noon to midnight, which is two in the morning to two in the afternoon here. And I can pretty much only talk to Patrick before or after he gets off. So I only have a few minutes while I'm at work before he goes to bed to talk to him. But at least I can. I feel fortunate for that.
As far as the outfit, I loved it. I have to say I felt stylish and yet comfy all at once. Thus, a plus all around.
As much as I love heels, sometimes a girl just needs a sassy, flat, tall boot. Am I wrong?
The skirt is newly acquired via Good Samaritan for something crazy like $4. I loved the length, the fit and the pockets totally sold me.
The sweater is an oldie but a goodie. It is so soft and comfy. Plus, the zipper detail is what makes it so super stylish.
I took advantage of the last supposed day of sunshine to bare my legs. We are supposed to be in the 30's this weekend with snow. Gross.
I can't begin to count the ways I am looking forward to spring.
Sweater with Zipper Detail-Kohl's; Grey Skirt with Pockets-Old Navy, thrifted; Boots-Charlotte Russe; Earrings-gifted

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.
