Thursday Mixer--Grey Jumper
It wasn't long ago that I thrifted this grey jumper. As we're probably all aware at this point, I have a "thing" for the funky and retro. When I saw this jumper at the Salvation Army, I knew it was coming home with me, even though it looked like part of a choir girl uniform.
Even though it's only the third appearance on the blog, at only four months old and an original cost of $7, that makes the current price per wear about $2 per month. Not too shabby.
Tonight was so cool. At her request, I took my Mother in Law shopping. She had to get a nice new dress because she is being honored next Friday by the MS Society for the Champion Award. She was even recently in the local newspaper for it!
She is so much fun. I am so grateful for the amazing woman that I am blessed to have in my life. And I have to say--MS or not, she wore me out man. She was such a trooper.
She's not a shopper and, in fact, she told me that it had been twenty years since she'd been in a dressing room. But we ended up going to two stores and got the perfect ensemble. And a few extra goodies.
Not to worry, I didn't get anything for myself. But I did buy my MIL's dress for her. Because she deserved it. And I did actually get something for myself. And that was a great time laughing and bonding with my Mother in Law. God she's such a good time.
Grey Jumper-All That Jazz, thrifted; Shear Plaid Blouse-Forever 21; Black Turtleneck-Style & Co., thrifted; Black Tights-Target; Tweed Flats-Target; Earrings-gifted and DIY
PS-February's over. Thank God.

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.
